Visual art image deleted from commons

c:File:Avis Draws - Bloop (2020) (cropped variant).png has apparently been deleted from commons, and thus from this article. It seemed to have started with one image by the artist deleted for "unclear use case, suspicion of spam", which led to a strange discussion with a lot of fighting, followed by all the artist's works being deleted from there at the request of the original uploader (not the artist) with little discussion, including the one used on this article. There do appear to have been a lot of images by the artist uploaded that weren't being used and were just uploaded due to having a free license, but this one's use here does not appear to have been brought up at all. What action is best to take now, as far as an image representing the visual art site of the fandom? Ringtail Raider (talk) 07:58, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Change "78–85% of furries identify as male, the remaining identify as female; while most are cisgender, 2% are transgender.: 10" to: "67.1% of furries identified themselves as male on the surveys, while 23.3% identified as female. While only 2% of furries identified themselves as transgender, 10.0% of furries identified themselves as genderqueer/non-binary.: 10-11" TransDragonLira (talk) 20:50, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

The previous line of text ("78–85% of furries ... 2% are transgender.: 10") cited the source https://www.furscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fur-Science-Final-pdf-for-Website_2017_10_18.pdf , but the percentages differed from the source. The source cited had both sex and gender percentages measured, but I suggested only the gender percentages as these are more relevant to the average reader.

(PS: on furscience's website, there is more recent data about the gender percentages in the furry fandom on https://furscience.com/research-findings/demographics/1-3-sex-and-gender/ . However, because this data isn't officially published by the IARP yet, I wasn't sure wether it is appropriate to already use this data when the rest of the categories can't be updated yet.)

Change "While only 2% of furries identified themselves as transgender, 10.0% of furries identified themselves as genderqueer/non-binary.: 10-11." to "While only 2% of furries identified themselves as transgender, 10.0% of furries identified themselves as genderqueer/non-binary."

I made a mistake in my previous edit request and accidentally added the reference as the text ": 10-11" without actually updating the actual reference from "" to "". I'm sorry for the inconveniece. TransDragonLira (talk) 08:26, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
