Re:Nevermind
About the article history thing... as I said before, I don't think it would be worth all the time you'd have to put into it, but if you really want to do it, I won't stop you. So long as it doesn't disturb any other part of the talk page. 12:25, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

And about the voting thing, I'm sorry that they're late, but when I'm away there is nothing I can do about it. There are three other people in the project that could have taken them down while I'm away, so they shouldn't still be up, but I'll go take care of them... (sorry to sound angry, I know it's not your fault) 12:27, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Don't apologize, it's really not your fault. I'm just tired and grumpy from being at camp for 3 days straight XD And you're welcome for the compliment - you deserve it! 12:56, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I won't force the 3 lead votes thing if the other leads don't see it, but you still need to wait two weeks to allow as many people to see it as possible. But once that is up, as long as the support has the majority, I won't disqualify you if two other leads don't vote. 13:05, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sweet!
That means in September I can be a mentor! Smoketail88 15:11, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hey... Again!! :D
Lol, you archived my new section XP And Insane replied to my message. Did you see what she said? :) You're well on your way to becoming a senior warrior!

I will go check out Crowfeather right now ^_^ 15:38, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah! It's really good for your first try :D Just do what everyone else says. :P I take it you saw my Sagepaw image? ^_^ 15:54, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

All you have to do (well, this is how I do it, I'm sure there's an easier way to do it XP) is edit your section in the talk page, delete the image, and then upload it again. It works for me :D 16:11, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think you misunderstood what I said :P When I said upload it, I meant re-upload it from your computer, not from the image database. Does that help? 16:28, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so what you have to do is edit the section that your charart is on, delete your original image (just press backspace, nothing fancy), then go to insert image. Under "Upload an Image", click on "Browse", then go to your changed picture in your computer (Crowfeather.loner.png), and insert that. Get it? :) 17:17, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Uhm... what did you do? :\ The lineart is now the same colour as his body. And he needs shading. Maybe look at this? 21:23, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I can help. What program are you using, first of all? 21:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I answered :\ It's right there^ :D What program do you use for charart? 22:02, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I use GIMP, and I recommend you do, as it is easier to use layers and such. And, if you're using pixlr, I won't be able to help you :D I know it's kind of putting you on the spot, but I want to be able to help :) 22:15, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, his article looked fine to me, but... apparently not ;)

And are you going to use GIMP? It's really easy, and I'll help you too :D 22:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense :D You have to download it, if it isn't an issue for you. Just Google GIMP and download it ^_^ 22:35, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

All right, let me know when you're done so I can help out; it's very confusing at first (at least it was for me :D ) 22:45, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Have you downloaded GIMP/figured out Crowfeather's image yet? XD 18:22, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Jeeze, I feel annoying... Hellooooo? :D 20:02, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I hope you get it right :) A lot of people are telling you to fix the lineart, even though ten people before them already have XD 22:08, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! I've been missing you! (for a day.. lol) Guess what books I got today? :D (You might not've heard of them, but I'm gonna tell you anyway XP)

The Hunger Games trilogy :D The third one just came out today, and I was really excited for it ^_^ 01:58, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yes indeed :) The boxed set (all three hardcovers) cost sixty bucks, and it's well worth it, so I got it :D Instead of going right to the third one, I started from the beginning, you know, catch up at bit :D But I'm so excited to read the last one I can't concentrate D:

Oh, and happy early 2,000 edits :D You're nearly there, so... cha. ;) 02:07, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ohh I hope it's worth it. And its $60 Canadian, $53 American :D

You're welcome! I remember congratulating you on 1,000... man, that wasn't a long time ago o_o I hope I can get there soon ^_^ 02:24, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hello
Hi Whitestorm. Congratulations on the senior warrior nomination, and I'm happy to see you were considered, as the Project is very active and needs people who are available and who can help out. This is not to say of course that the current coordinators do a bad job - they are great people and do a terrific work, but they have non-virtual lives, and for times when they get a well-deserved break it is good to have someone who watches over things. With your activity, I think you will do well. Keep in mind though that you will need the support of the majority of the project coordinators as well to be accepted in the position. Also, if I may give an advice - I see you are very eager about helping out and getting observed, but I'd rather suggest to be modest and patient instead of repeatedly messaging admins about a nomination or feeling the need of pointing out your own merits like "Check the article history to see how hard I worked". This will make some people believe your goal is to have power, while I believe it is not. Just let things take their way, be humble and helpful, and people will trust you more then. :) Regarding your question on the "What I think" list, of course you can add any opinion about me (or about any user), you do not need my permission to do it. At this moment I do not know enough about you to form an opinion to put on my page, but I guess this will change soon. Regarding friendship, for me it means much more than the exchange of a couple of messages; it is rather the result of working together and interacting for long months; but as I wrote in my previous message, it is a possibility for the future. ;) Kind regards, 16:12, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your message about the editcount. :) About the userbox project, I was named as leader in May, when the project started up. I already had knowledge about wiki and html code and used to help out with it and create layouts, interactive things and all that, including userboxes like the support-char and support-clan. Then the admins decided that we should start up (or rather restart - it was already active in 2008, although closed down since) the Userbox project, and I undertook the leader position. 16:28, August 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, actually it was me starting it up, with the support of the admins of course. At this moment, I do not know which boxes need an update, but I guess there are a few. After the Project enters Maintenance stage, as discussed on the talk page, I will make a list of everything that needs fixing. 16:53, August 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * All right then. :) I'll send you a message when I have news about it. 06:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Editcount
Hi! Just thought to drop by to congratulate you on reaching 2000 edits. :) Kind regards, 13:02, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
I've seen you on Oblivion's talk page so I decided to say hello. So......Hi! ^U^ wanna be friends? Breezestar  Only a Breeze... 16:30, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Probably PCA. Can you look at my image up for approval? Its Egg as a loner. Breezestar  Only a Breeze... 16:52, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hi again! Insane said if I need info on project characters,ask a dedicated warrior. So I asked you! could you kinda explain what its all about? Thanks Breezestar  Only a Breeze... 22:22, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Are there any stubs you know of that I can work on? thanks Breezestar ' Only a Breeze...'' 01:45, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Mentor
You would? Thank you sooo much! I've been looking for a mentor for a while now, I really need help with making signatures and stuff. ~Blossomsky~ 22:55, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I was wondering how to change the color of my signature. ~Blossomsky~ 23:53, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I'd like to change it too. I want it to have a saying next to it, but I'm not sure how to get it there. ~Blossomsky~ 23:59, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I want it to say my username in different shades of pink. I changed my mine about the sayings, though. Don't want them anymore. ^.^; ~Blossomsky~ 00:35, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh! Also, I'd really like to reserve Oakstep as a Warrior for the PCA, but I'm not sure how. Can you help?~Blossomsky~ 01:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, see, I'd like mine to be all sorts of pink (if they have different shades. If not, then pink and purple) and I want it to just link to my user page and talk page, the "Blossom-" leading to my user page, the "-sky" leading to my talk page.

Oh. Ok, no problem! Then I'll go look for another character to reserve. Thanks! ^.^ ~Blossomsky~ 20:45, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I think I'll join project Characters, or maybe project Books. Or both! Again, thanks so much! :) ~Blossomsky~ 21:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, also, I found a character to reserve; Leafstorm. But how do I reserve her? ~Blossomsky~ 21:21, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I will! ^.^ Also, how do you reserve a cat? I asked earlier, but I don't think you got the message. ^.^; ~Blossomsky~ 21:27, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, ok! That's fine. I'll go look again, then. Thanks again! ~Blossomsky~ 21:42, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

That's ''perfect! '':D Thanks! ~Blossomsky~ 18:57, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try it out now! ^.^ ~Blossomsky~ 20:00, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

EDIT: It won't work. :(

I'm not sure what happened. When I sign my signature, I get this: &#91;&#91;User:Blossomsky&#124;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ED8AEB&#39;&gt;Blossom&lt;/span&gt;&#93;&#93;&#91;&#91;User talk:Blossomsky&#124;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#C445C2&quot;&gt;sky&lt;/span&gt;&#93;&#93; 21:45, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Ok. thanks.

It worked! :D Thanks so much! Blossom sky 21:57, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Mentor?
Ello Whitestorm i don't have a mentor and i went to the adopt a user but would you like to be my mentor : ) Ivyleaf 02:56, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

References and Citations
Hey Whitestorm! I have a question, could you teach me how to do citations and references step by step, because I'm confused with them. Thanks! River pelt Deputy of StormClan 22:25, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay thanks! Just one more question though, how would you reference it on charart boxes? For example see Tawnypelt's charcat box. River pelt Deputy of StormClan 22:50, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay Thanks alot! =) River pelt Deputy of StormClan 23:37, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
I'll be doing some archiving myself, so don't worry about that particular one as I'll get it. And you may add me as a friend using the userbox. =) -- 02:27, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Gorsetail
Hey Whitestorm17! I did some research and in The Fourth Apprentice, in WindClan, there is a Gorsetail. It's a very pale gray and white tom. So which Gorsetail would that be under? Willowheart May StarClan light your path! 02:35, August 23, 2010 (UTC)Willowheart1231

Project Characters
Thank you for your offer, but I am so early in the books, I'm only on Midnight. Being in Project Characters would be so fun, but sadly it would just bring spoilers. Again thank you for your offer. Have a great day! Nightflower Of ThunderClan 14:23, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sig Colors
Hi! There are lots of places where you can get the names of colors (just search on "web colors" on the net), for example on this page. Although, if I may suggest, you should rather use the hex values to define colors (such as "#FF8C00" instead of "orange"), as that way you can use any color, not just the few named ones. Check this page for instance to find out the hex value for any color. 16:18, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Mentor!
Hi Whitestorm! I saw your name under as a mentor and you don't have any apprentices. May I be an apprentice? Thanks! Willowheart May StarClan light your path! 00:37, August 24, 2010 (UTC)Willowheart1231

Re:Mentor
Hello, Whitestorm! I saw that you replyed on my user page and asked to be my mentor. I'd be delighted! Thank you very much! Fawnspirit 02:51, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
