CS templates
Hi there,

I have noticed that you keep removing the content from the CS template, twice, even though your edit was undone. Refrain from this type of editing. It messes up articles, and disappears on articles. Regards, 22:06, August 27, 2018 (UTC)

Alt account
Hello,

On your userpage you mentioned you have an alt account with the name of Jaystick145. Alt accounts are not allowed here and you will have to pick one to continue editing with.

00:16, October 19, 2018 (UTC)

yeah? I've been busy with work and other stuff and I'll probably get around to it tommorow. 01:17, October 20, 2018 (UTC)

All righty. Your other account Jaystick145 will be blocked and unusable on here since you'll be editing with this one. 02:22, October 20, 2018 (UTC)

Sorry but I am a bit new I dont really know what to do after an edit. LindaClark (talk) 16:48, October 27, 2018 (UTC)LindaClark

The Raging Storm
For sure, yeah. But you'd have to wait until the wiki clock itself ticks over to the 6th, which would be about Monday 9pm EST. I was already planning to do some about that time as well. 23:51, November 3, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
Yeah, I'm aware of them. ^^ Stoneteller (OoTS)'s cave guard image belongs to Jayce, since she did the original one long ago. She'll get to it eventually. And Star doesn't get one because she doesn't have a description. So no one's gonna do that one. 02:39, November 9, 2018 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi Potato! I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot on the PCA talk page. I didn't mean to say that you are unkind, I just meant that your comment could be seen as unkind by the artist. Personally, I really wouldn't want my art to be called "derpy" xD  So sorry if that came across as insulting to you in any way!  JOLLY  FIRE  03:49, November 17, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
Nutmeg (TR) doesn't have a known rank, hence why her name in her charart box is "known/given". Just because a cat appears in the allegiances, doesn't mean we know her rank. She could be a kittypet, a rogue, a loner, etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  02:23, November 20, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
I just got on the wiki not too long ago, and I've been busy with spam so I haven't had the chance to look at the approval page yet. 04:38, November 21, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
Meh. she can have it back if she wants. Just tell her to change the reservation.

re
Thank you for alerting me, the deed is done. 03:39, December 1, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
She can take it if she wants to. Just tell her that. I'm in the middle of finals week so I don't have any time to do Pebbleshine :)

Re:
I'll get to it when I get to it. Right now, I've got a lot of other things that I need to get done. x.x I'd actually forgotten about this reservation until you messaged me about it.

Re:
You'd honestly have to ask someone like Thunder or Icy about that cite. I know that sometimes Kate's wording can make a citation invalid, even if it's sometimes obvious. We can't assume anything here on the wiki. Sorry I can't be of much help. 03:06, December 6, 2018 (UTC)

Cite
Noticed your comment for Kate, and unfortunately I don't think it can be used. Since the way it is worded and it's still open for question. If Kate comes around and clarifies, it could be used, but otherwise I don't think so. Previous cites had to be removed for similar wording unfortunately. 03:29, December 6, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
Hi there! Good question. You can bring this discussion up on the PC talk page. I personally think it is a valid cite, but you may find others with differing opinions. 15:15, December 6, 2018 (UTC)

PCA
While the help is appreciated, please be mindful of what you're telling other users. Some of your actions are borderline what a lead would typically say or do, and enforcing the rules and whatnot is a lead job. It's come to my attention that you seem to be mini-modding, for lack of a better word. Please leave rule enforcement (and reminding users about images) and comments of that nature to the leads. That's what we're project leads for, it's part of our job here on the wiki to make sure the rules are being followed. I'm not mad or anything of the sort, and you're not in trouble. =P

Re:
It is no longer in use, so no. If it's ever needed again then I would, but in cases like this it's just left as is because of whatever cite got removed, and the work would be unnecessary 15:17, December 8, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
I'm sorry to hear that, Potato, and no one blames you. I even told you when I messaged you on your talk page (and was nice about it as well), that your comments were a bit too much. Did you ever see my talk page message? o.O

To be fair, you were told about your conduct various times recently, and it wasn't very fair to Owl to have their image bombarded with comments. Asking if someone is still working is a PCA lead's job, and repeating comments is against the rules. You did seem like you were pushing Owl to continue working, and that's not fair to them in the least. A user has seven days to upload their image from the moment they post it, and the reminder was definitely rushing. I'm only saying this as the project leader; it's my job to make sure that the rules are followed.

Regardless, this is your choice and one no one else can make for you. I wish you luck, and you'll always be free to return if you decide you want to.

Its fine
Dont feel bad about rushing me, and Im suprised others are not! I used to do... I took like ten minuts per 3 comments, and I always rushed others, so dont feel bad Im Am TrasH =^.,.^= 06:34, December 11, 2018 (UTC)

PCA
Hi there! While I know you are trying to help, and I appreciate that, you are behaving as though you are a lead in PCA. It's not in your place nor your job. This is regarding your comment on Sandgorse's charart and my reservation on Harestar. Sandgorse; Owl previously said they were going to attempt to reupload and your comment after was completely unnecessary. It is none of your concern and does not involve you. On Harestar; I appreciate you pointing out, but once again, it appears you are overstepping and acting like a lead. You've made other comments as well on other images in the past. You've been told about it before and it appears you have not listened, I hope to see you stop with this. Again, help is appreciated, but be more mindful of what you say and leave the work to the actual leads. 03:22, December 16, 2018 (UTC)

Oi
Unsure what you're trying to accomplish by outright disrespecting the people who tried bringing to your attention on what you're doing wrong, it comes across as incredibly petty. For the record, you're not being blamed, you're, in all honesty, just overstepping, which is something you've been told multiple times about. You're always more then welcome to continue helping out, but keep in mind of everything people have said. 04:20, December 16, 2018 (UTC)

Your messages
Hello Potato,

I have been keeping an eye on the events unfurling on the Wiki that you seem to be upset by. By any chance, is there a way you would like to discuss them so we can get to the root of the problem? 04:29, December 16, 2018 (UTC)

Hey,

Thank you for getting back to me. I completely understand your frustrations and I believe there may have been mistakes on both ends in this case. From what I am getting at, the reason you were warned is because you were doing the things PCA leads would usually do, so that was why people believed you were "overstepping your bounds." Of course, there is no way you would know this, and I do understand you were trying to help out. I am glad you made your intentions clear to me. From now on, perhaps there can be understanding on both sides? 21:58, December 16, 2018 (UTC)

I will ensure my best that there will be. I hope that everything is all right with you. 22:36, December 16, 2018 (UTC)

Finleap
I'm not entirely sure. They could qualify for some sort of tweak depending on if Patch changed anything that would require that, but they'll not match exactly because Finleap was never called a full-on tabby - just on the legs. 00:35, December 20, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
I am well aware that it is December 21st and voting will start yet. I plan on opening it later, as I am very busy right now. 20:29, December 21, 2018 (UTC)

Re:
Yes, you would. But I do hand them out in batches normally, so it's not always immediate.

Re:
Removed.

Chapter subpages
Hi there!

I noticed you're editing some chapter subpages - which is good! For the Characters section, to properly add a reference we have a template to put it in to make it easier, example;. "r" stands for "Reference", "os6" stands for "Original series, book 6", "131" is "page 131." Hope that was helps^^

18:28, December 29, 2018 (UTC)

What problems are you having? I can try helping you. 18:32, December 29, 2018 (UTC)

Which editor are you using? All you need to do is type and it should work, make sure you use source editor. 18:54, December 29, 2018 (UTC)

I apologize for the late reply, I've been busy. For the minor characters section, you should add some bullet points, which are these "*", in front of the links. The references still need to be added as well. Add the mclist template to it as well. If you're confused on how it should look, you can try going to another chapter subpage that's complete, going into source editor and looking at it there, it helped me a lot when I first started working with them. I know I don't do well explaining sometimes, so if you need me to elaborate, please let me know^^ 05:36, January 1, 2019 (UTC)

New Character Pages
Hi Potato, we really appreciate that you are working hard to create character pages for the Wiki. However, some of these characters (Like Rustlepaw and Dragonflykit) are not on the official family tree on the website. We should probably hold off on creating those kinds of pages for now until we decide whether these characters are valid. For now, please be sure to check if the new character is on the family tree before creating a page. 22:28, January 4, 2019 (UTC)

Yo
When you're adding the cites to characters on the family tree, use. It's a template we're got so it's easier to have cites, rather then what you're putting on pages currently. 00:41, January 5, 2019 (UTC)

It is up for discussion and I already talked to two staff members on it. An icon is not enough for a description. 05:24, January 5, 2019 (UTC)
