RE: URGENT
In future, please reserve titles like Caplocked "Urgent" for things that are actually urgent. Things like Vandals doing large amounts of damage or similar. A full talk page is not an emergency situation. You may archive your talk page using Subpages and/or the archivebox template. Please consult the help page and the template use instructions. If you still have problems, just as a more specific question.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:55, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Please actually read the subpages help page, which describes the process of creating a subpage. Once you've created the subpage link properly, you go to that page, but with your talk page open for editing in another window. You simply copy and paste the code from your talk page into your archive page, then remove the talk page text that you have archived, then save your talk page.

RE: After Sunset:We need to talk
I've seen the play. I never asked to see the play. I frankly don't necessarily believe that it actually fits into the Warriors Canon. No one official has ever verified that it does or doesn't. Sure, it was on the tour, but we can't tell if it's just the lark of one of the authors or accepted as Canon.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 18:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Answering Questions Asked To Others
Please refrain from answering questions asked to others. They may have been directed in a certain person for a reason. It's only free for anyone to grab if it's posted to the help forum. In which case it should be answered on the forum.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 18:42, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Apprentices
This question is completely useless. Taking apprentices is not an item to create a new bragging statistic. It's a tool to help users feel welcome and give them a user they can depend on. It's not about bragging rights or collecting statistics. It's about just helping others and seeing that they get settled in an learn the ropes.

To actually answer your question, I've got 1 currently, and they're my first. But since the project started at the end of June, most have only had a couple of apprentices at most.

Re:Colors
Thanks GB! --Jakko123 19:12, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Harassment...
GB... I'm going to start classing your poking people demanding that they respond to thinks quicker as harassment from here on out. People should not be expected to be on this site all the time. You should simply sit back and await the answer. This site is not a chatroom. Answers take time. Please start giving people that time.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 19:15, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Questions
There isn't a set number of apprentices for one user to have, but it is probably a good idea to have no more than three or four, so you aren't overburdened. To create a pixel of a cat, simply right-click one of the bases, and open it in a image editor. It can be as simple as Microsoft Paint, or something more complicated, such as the Gimp editor, which is free to download. Then just fill in the base with the correct colors of the cat you've chosen. About the project...I don't think any projects are in need of starting, and if they were...There isn't a set way to start one, so I'm not really sure :p-- &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; ( T – C – G ) 19:33, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, really, the point of apprenticeship is to get a new user used to using wikitext, and to introduce him/her to some of the more important templates, like Charcat. So if you know the basics of Wikitext, such as how to link, use a template (for instance, Stub, note the curly brackets: ), how to make headers such as =Largest=, ==Smaller==, ===Even Smaller===, etc.) , then I think you're ready anytime. But remember that you can still ask me questions, even if you aren't my apprentice :)-- &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; ( T – C – G ) 19:51, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I guess so :( It's been a pleasure teaching you :) If you feel you're ready, you can remove the userbox from your userpage, and I'll remove your name from the template :)-- &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; ( T – C – G ) 20:29, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Turtlekit
Hey I was wondering why you put an AFD on the article. We ccould ask him to work on it mabye? And do you need to contact EU or Kitsu before putting an afd.
 * Responding to clarify. AFD should be used only by those who understand the intricacies. Delete may be used by anyone who finds an article they feel should be processed for deletion (it's a way to tell the Sysops that you feel this article should undergo the process and why). Feel free to let Redflare know the facts, GB.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 20:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Error
Thanks, GB, I'll fix that as soon as I can...

Blackstar78 21:46, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I fixed the error. Will you please check out my user page, and tell me if I put too many cat pics at the end?

Blackstar 01:40, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I did.

RE: What's a Vandal
A vandal is a person who has vandalized the Wiki.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 02:21, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Don't know
Don't know what kind of vandal, but I was told by Blackstar that there was vandal, and it was there, but suddenly, it was gone after I went to Kitsu!

Thunderstar2008 02:38, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Eaglebranch fixed it. Drop the subject now.

Thunderstar2008 02:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, she did. Check the Rowanclaw article, someone called him stupid! An anoymus user, I belive. They have absoulually no respect for cats from ShadowClan. ThunderClan isn't all good, they should know...

Thunderstar2008 02:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Dudeman Vandal
I've already attended to that vandal during the course of my edit patrols. But thank you for taking the time to report it.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 04:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah.I was overlooking the page then I found the words "dudemen" and "dudeman" in weird spots of the page.--JayfeatherTalk 13:02, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * GB... You do not need to research the vandal. Finding the vandalism and informing Eu and/or I (Doing it through the "Report Problem" link at the bottom of the page is best, as it means both Eu and I see it). There's no need to research the vandal or track the IP to other Wikis. The problem with IPs is that they are not stagnate things for anyone but Dialup users. This vandal isn't even one worth worrying about. They vandalized one page and were done. Should it continue, Eu or I will use our Sysop powers to good effect, and end the situation. Have no fear ;) Your Sysops patrol edits and watch things carefully. Vandals get caught here. Even the ones that undo their vandalism.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Log-in Problem

Re: Project Character Art
Sure! We can always use new people working on it, me included. Sorry, I'm still getting used to the "reply on someone else's talk page," it's a bit confusing. ^^; Gorse 18:04, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Brightheart
Yeah, my signature is just Brightheart instead of Brightheart4. Also, I talked to Eu, and reported a problem, but someone has vandalised the Rowanclaw page!

Brightheart 18:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

P.S. You seem very nice. Are you a mentor?

Re:Rowanclaw
Yeah, I saw the vandal when I was doing something I call "the vandal patrol". I knew that another person had called him stupid, Blackstar78 reported that, didn't she? I did not know that it was the same person. I will keep a close eye on the Rowanclaw page from now on.

Brightheart 18:47, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Is Rainpaw a sysop?


 * The user has been blocked from editing for one week.-- &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; ( T – C – G ) 18:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rainpaw
No, I haven't. Is he nice?

I was just wondering is he was a sysop.

Brightheart 19:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll drop Rainpaw a message. I also found out which member's IP that was attacking Rowanclaw.

Brightheart 19:24, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I.P.
No, Grocery. The IP was Blackstar78 logged out. And she's blanked the Tawnypelt article!!!!

Brightheart 19:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, she did. Check the history if you don't believe me. I did leave a message for Eulalia already. Otherwise, I'll let you, Eu, or Kisufox (I think that's her name) know immeideatly.

Brightheart 19:38, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Blackstar is my neighbor. That's how I knew what her IP was.

Please check your talk page, GB!

Brightheart 19:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rowanclaw
Blackstar has vandalized Rowanclaw again. She called Rowanclaw, Tawnypelt, Flamekit, Dawnkit, and Tigerkit stupid (again), and other inappropriet names. Tell Eu!

Brightheart 19:44, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Grocery-

Tell me imedietly if Blackstar sends you any messages once so ever!!!!!!

Brightheart 19:52, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

P.S. This maybe a bad time, but, could we be friends?

WHY WOULD I STOP??????? I HATE ROWANCLAW, AND BESIDES, VANDILISING IS FUN!!!!!!!!

Blackstar 19:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rowanclaw's been vandalized again, GB.

Still Blackie.

Brightheart 19:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Blackstar, please stop. I have experience being banned, and it took them a week extra to let me edit again. So it might take you 2 WEEKS to start editing again. 'cause I used to be Brackenstar. I learned that hating fictional characters is really lame. so you might want to think about it. Wildheart 0001 03:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC) Wildheart 0001 03:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Please Stop...
Confronting other users. The attention encourages Vandals, who have a tendency to do it to get attention. Instead revert the vandalism, and report matters.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 19:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. And anyway, Blackstar's already ruined Rowanclaw, well, I'll drop her another message, then I';ll fix it. Sigh. Well, I now know what Eulalia and Kisufox feel like.

Brightheart 20:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Kisu is on. Blackstar is banned for a week.

Brightheart 20:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Pages do not get "Ruined". Every pervious version of a page is stored, thus we don't have to rewrite everything, just recover the older versions from the page history. I've banned Blackstar for their actions. From now on, leave confronting vandals to people with the power to force it to a halt. The attention was just egging this one on, I think.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 20:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Rowanclaw's been vandaled again. I forgot. Thunderstar2008 is Blackstar's other account.

Brightheart 20:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Blackstar told me that Thunderstar2008 was her sister that lives with her divorced dad. :|--JayfeatherTalk 20:23, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Other vandals
Well,

Blackstar's banned for a week, so is the IP account... life is... better. Should you find ANY MORE VANDALS, after you report them to the sysops, tell me, please!

Brightheart 20:11, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Assumptions
I will not make assumptions about Thunderstar2008's Identity. They very well could have believed that they were helping by removing vandalized content. Please sit back and leave me to attend to this. I am watching. If the attacks continue I will take further action. Please relax and let me work. The constant messages are actually distracting me from the task at hand.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 20:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Thunderstar2008 has vandalized the Flamekit article. She has said that his father, Rowanclaw, is stupid.

Brightheart 20:26, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Names
My name is Bramble, not Bumble. Just making sure you know. I wouldn't mind taking that on as a nickname, though. Kinda cool. --Bramble 20:29, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Kisufox
Grocery-

Thunder has deleted both Kisu's user page, and talk page!!!!!!!!

Brightheart 20:36, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I took care of that,Brightheart.Grocery is not a Sysop.--JayfeatherTalk 20:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Swifty
I guess so.-- &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; ( T – C – G ) 21:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Sysop
Thanks!I have thought about it,I would like to be one,but that would mean devoting more time to the wiki,which I don't have time for.--JayfeatherTalk 22:30, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Well,I'm not sure if I want to be an admin or not...it's just...time consuming...--JayfeatherTalk 22:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

It depends.If she comes back and does lot's of vandalism,chances are I won't keep her as my apprentice. If she doesn't do that, I will think about the options I have.--JayfeatherTalk 22:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Color
I know it's not really my business, but how do you write type in color?

Brightheart 23:32, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:New Nickname
Thanks GB, I hope you don't think I "copied" you. Anyway, when you write the nickname, how do you get the date after it? I have to write JKO

Thanks GB, you rock!!!! (but one more question, how do you get the colors into your signature?)--JKO 23:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Re Re: Colors
Alright, thanks, GroceryBag.

You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but why did you pick GroceryBag for your user name? No offense. I picked Brightheart4 for my user name, 'cause Brightheart's my favorite character.

Brightheart 23:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't know about you, but I like the name GroceryBag! It's really unique! :) JKO

Colors?
Would you mind if you help me with colors? I don't get it...Bluefur123 23:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rating images on Project CharArt
I'm sorry GroceryBag, but rating every single image that comes up for approval on the Character Art Project does little to help it whatsoever. If you wish to truly help out in the project, we need pixels to be made, not just graded by someone who doesn't actually have the authority to approve them. Not to mention that constructive criticism on HOW something can be improved is much more helpful and much less discouraging to inexperienced pixel artists than any numerical grade. Gorse 23:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Having trouble
Hey GB, I'm having some trouble with the colors in the name thing. Yeah, when I put raw signature, and put in the color code it says something like Incorrect Raw Signature, check HTML Tabs? Please help!:(--JKO 00:08, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

No..........--JKO 00:14, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I just typed < span style | " Color Orange "> JKO? Also am I supposed to do something else because now I just have JKO and on my posts you can't click on it and see my page? sorry I'm hopelessly lost :( p.s. I put the spaces in the color code so the rest wouldn't show up orange--JKO 00:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Color Help...
Why reprint the help in unreadable block format when a step-by-step numbered list is available at the Signature Policy, and it covers IMPORTANT details like the rules surrounding sigs. You'll at least want to drop a link to the policy... <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 00:32, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, that was a fail, now i think i got it-- JKO 00:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Your name reply thing!
Haha! Well, your name really is unique. I keep thinking of the name GroceryBag (especially when i went to the grocery store lol!) and thanks a million for telling me how to do the name thing! Now I have a signature signature like you! like I said thanks for the help, you would make a great mentor (p.s. check out my fanfic and leave comment @ freewebs.com/raggedclan!)-- JKO 02:00, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I'm sorry if I didn't say this before, but could you please leave a comment on the comments page if you read my story. I really need fan support to keep me going. Just ignore the two boxes in the raggedclan comments page and go down to where it says guestbook! remember its freewebs.com/raggedclan! Thanks!-- JKO 02:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Adding Bag
GroceryBag is more uniquie than just Grocery.

Brightheart 02:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

GO PIE?!
About your user page- what the heck did you mean- "If not, enjoy this page. GO PIE!!!"

Sorry if I typed too roughly. Doesn't it sound like Rainpaw?

Brightheart 02:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

P.S. You should look at Charcat nominees. Doesn't Brightheart look wonderful? About my comments, I really hope that I didn't sound like a Brightheart freak...

P.P.S. Look on the Recent Changes log. There is a page to the Charcat somethingortheothers. That's how I got there. That is allowed, isn't it?

I didn't mean to offend Rainpaw. I just said he talks like that. He seems perfectly alright, to me.

Bramble does not do a good job. He does a great job! Did I sound like a paranoid freak...? I hope not.

Yes, Go Pie!!! is funny. My sides hurt (can you guess why?). What kind of pie do you like?

Brightheart 02:30, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:You're mentor
I guess I'd get rid of Blackstar, but at least she'll be taught every rule Jay knows.

I still can't believe someone would vandalize the site like that.

Brightheart 14:35, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Archive Brackenstar
It should only be done if Brackenstar wishes something to be done with the talk pages for that account. Deleting talk pages is akin to blanking them, and you asked for something to be done with that page. So I archived it on your Usertalk, because out of sight is out of mind. Brackenstar could opt to keep the accounts completely separate if they wanted, but unless they want it done (or want something done about that talk page) things will stay as they are. <span style="color:#3665A2; background:#EBF6F9; border:1px solid #3665A2; -moz-border-radius: 1em; color: #3665A2;"> Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
