The First Battle - Quote Nomination
I'm not sure what is going on with Icy's quote nomination and whether it got declined or what. I figured I would post this since none of the quotes were chosen and the page still needs a quote.

1. "A cat who follows only one path, never stopping to question where it leads, is as dumb as the prey she hunts." - Shaded Moss pg 287

2. "Unite or die." - Shaded Moss pg 289

3. "Why did you leave the mountains? Did you need something to fight over so badly? Before you came, we hunted and slept, and lay in the sun. We fought over prey, but no cat ever killed another. You brought death here." -River Ripple pg 275

4. "Having little makes cats share. Having much makes us greedy." - Stoneteller pg 4

5. "I must warn you: greed is only the beginning. There will be war." - Stoneteller pg 4

6. "We are all born in blood. But it marks the beginning, not the end." - Stoneteller pg 5

7. "Are you ready to die just to stop me from making borders?" - Clear Sky pg 265

8. "You betrayed cats who were once your kin. The cats who traveled here with you here from the mountains." Gray Wing pg 267

9. "Kill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars that you won." - Gray Wing pg 270

10. "Fear is what drove you. Fear is a powerful instinct that only the strongest cat can resist." - Storm pg 285

11. "You came for the mountains and brought nothing but death. Now is the time for you to make amends." - Storm pg 288

Personally, my favorites are 2 and 3. 04:40, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

I like 1, 2, 4, and 10 04:45, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't know what happened to it either? I think it might have been a mistake... 13:10, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

It got archived with no conclusion. Huh. 13:11, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Well if yours will be put back up and voted on again, that's fine with me. I just wasn't sure what was going on with that and thought I'd put this up in case yours was declined. Strange that it got archived with no conclusion though. 15:36, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I like 6 and 9 personally. x3  20:13, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Could I get some more comments on this? 23:22, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

I archived it because it went too long without comments and I didn't know if you were still doing anything with it. Plus, it was sorta wall-ish and since I couldn't reach you to ask, I just archived it. My vote is still with Shaded Moss' quote and him calling Tall Shadow stupid.

Any other comments?

-nudges- I have no idea how to set up quote votes, nor am I sure if I am allowed to create them 03:41, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Warriors Translations
I was looking on the PB main page, and noticed that Warriors Translations was the content drive and went to see the talk page. There is not a Concerns section or any reference to why that page needs improving. I do realize it needs to be updated with foreign editions, but it was unclear to me (and possibly others) what to do to help the page besides normal updating.

I then looked through the PB talk archives to find the original discussion for it (which is here). I think we should finish discussing how to improve it, and act on it, since it is the Content Drive and has been up since September 2011, for pete's sake. If we can get this done, then we can finally have a new content drive and focus on something other than a page that probably should have been finished being a Content Drive a long time ago. So, ideas on revamping the Translations page? 04:59, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

I actually don't understand how the Translations page runs, despite it being the Content Drive. I also don't have any of the books to even begin to work on that.. I wouldn't object to changing the drive to something else? Perhaps instead of just one article, why not like the subpages for an arc, or couple books??? Idk,I totally forgot PB had a CD, I'm so sorry. ;-; Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Birdqueen. Perhaps we can finally kick this dead project into gear again with this.

It's fine. I just thought of looking to see if we had a CD after I saw that PC had one last night. If we choose a new CD, I would suggest getting the chapter subpages for Fire and Ice, Forest of Secrets, and Rising Storm all up to at least bronze. All the Into the Wild subpages are already up to at least bronze, though some still need the new templates added. The whole arc might be a bit too much to start, so I think starting with those three would help us gauge how fast we can go. If we can go fast enough that doing a whole arc would be manageable, we can always change it. 15:48, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

That sounds like a lovely idea. Three books at a time isn't too much, and it isn't too little. Getting them to at least bronze would mean there would actually have to be some work done. Now, that's not to say that you can't work on other subpages, but the original arc ones (at least Fire and Ice, Forest of Secrets, and Rising Storm, anyways) would be top priority. The templates wouldn't take that long to replace, so that's not a huge concern...but what is a major concern for me is getting these subpages done (or at least try).

That sounds good. I'll be working on those templates today and possibly tomorrow (depending on how much summer homework I have to do, yuck). Does anyone else want to comment? This affects the whole project. 17:25, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

I think a new content drive would be good tbh and those three books with their chapter subpages sounds great to me! 19:06, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me. 02:04, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

Any other comments on this?

I think if no one else is going to comment, we can go ahead and change the content drive. If no one has objections, I will go ahead and change this to getting the subpages for Fire and Ice through Rising Storm up to at least bronze.

Reminder
Hi all! I decided to post this on project talk pages to get a bit more exposure. As some of you might have seen, Skye and I are now the co-head administrators on the wiki, and I'd like to remind everyone of the staff openings. We have quite a few and we need more people to step up and apply, either for chat moderator or rollbacker spots. Have a great day! 04:21, July 2, 2014 (UTC)

Fire and Ice/Chapter 8 - Silver Nomination
I sense a chapter summary editing spree once I feel better. 16:24, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Check for spelling mistakes and can you use the mclist template on the minor/mentioned character lists? It makes them look nicer. Nice job! 16:52, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

I checked for spelling mistakes and didn't see any, however, about the mclist, I did use it, I kind of like the way it looks 3 columns with 4 names each, but I'll wait for other people's opinions on it. 17:48, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

I changed the mclist from 3 to 2 on the Mentioned section though  17:49, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

As seen here, you're kinda missing some info on the article. This chapter is kinda vital since not only is this around the time where Whiteclaw is killed, I do believe Fireheart and Graystripe also obtain their first apprentices during this chapter as well. Basically, go through, and if there's anything important (to the overall plot, a character, the books, ect), then it should be listed there.

Bluestar's Prophecy/Chapter 44 - Silver Nomination
Worked on it this morning and it's now done! comments? 17:15, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Looks good Duck! Just check for spelling as usual though. 01:41, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

I did and I didn't see any, correct me if I'm wrong, though. 02:53, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

I only noticed one in the second paragraph, second sentence. 03:27, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

fixed c: 03:54, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Some of the sentences seem sorta short and abrupt throughout the entire article. I'm not sure how to suggest fixing it, but maybe combining sentences and adding more descriptive words?

Also, as seen here, there should also be an important events section- which in this chapter would be Bluestar becoming leader, Redtail being deputy, Spottedleaf being the full-time medicine cat, ect. Also, if there are deaths mentioned, they should be listed too. I kept forgetting about this and this section is needed on all subpages- it was part of the original idea and I completely forgot about it.

The Sun Trail/Chapter 5 - Silver Nomination
I started working on this a while ago and forgot about it until recently. Comments? 01:58, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Check here, and follow the info that's given. If there are any important things regarding the chapter, it should be put here. One of those things for this chapter would probably be Jagged Peak's disappearance (linked with the chapter right before this, I think), and how it gets Gray Wing to leave the cave...and how he also finds him soon after leaving, along with anything you find important to the plot, characters, books, ect. Also births and deaths if there are any.

Thunder Rising/Chapter 13 - Silver Nomination
I like these short chapters. Comments? 05:02, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

I don't see anything particularly wrong, just check for spelling as usual. 15:28, July 24, 2014 (UTC)
