Crookedstar's Promise - Quote Nomination 2
I would like to change CP's quote, I feel it spoils the whole book, here are some more quotes I found, owo


 * 1. "Together we can rebuild anything, except cats who have drowned trying to save bits of twig."


 * Shellheart to Brightsky Page 3
 * 2. "Kits born into a storm like this one are destined to be great warriors. It's just a shame that they can't both be leaders of RiverClan."


 * Shellheart about Oakkit and Stormkit Page 8


 * 3. "If he'd of stayed in camp he'd never have had the accident. Then he wouldn't be the ugly mess he is now. He's still be my handsome young warrior."


 * Rainflower to Shellheart Page 51


 * 4. "Your new name may describe your face, young kit, I know you are as true and loyal as any warrior. Bear your name bravely as a kit and nobly when you become a warrior."


 * Hailstar to Stormkit Page 54


 * 5. "Your path is not an easy one. But StarClan would never have given such a hard path to a cat who wasn't strong and brave and loyal."


 * Mapleshade to Crookedkit Page 79


 * 6. "You must promise me, that you will be loyal to your clan above all other things. What you want for yourself is nothing compared to the needs of your Clan. Nothing, remember? Do you make that promise?"


 * Mapleshade to Crookedkit Page 116


 * 7. "Let them guide your paws onto the right path."


 * Brambleberry to Crookedpaw Page 195


 * 8. "You just want to have kits with Crookedjaw."


 * Beetlenose to Willowpaw Page 247


 * 9. "Will StarClan want her like they wanted Brightsky?"


 * Loudkit about Ottersplash Page 293

I like 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. 05:12, July 13, 2012 (UTC) I like four. 12:42, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Quote 6 seems beneficial to the article, as it describes the title as well as the book: the promise Crookedstar made to Mapleshade. Thus, quote 6 is earning my vote. 16:01, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

I like number four. 16:06, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

I like 2, 3, 5, and 7. 16:11, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

2, 4, and 6 are my favs. 00:49, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hold on here - I think you could get the longer version of Quote 6. Just add on, "Nothing, remember? Do you make that promise?" 21:48, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

2, 4, 6 <3 23:33 Sun Jul 15

I added it on 14:15, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

CBV? 16:28, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

None, vote is up. 00:23, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Another Quote Idea
Hi guys, it's me again with another quote idea. Please don't shoot me, Cloudy, Leggy, Stoner  I was thinking...maybe we could have not a main quote, but some quotes in a section on book pages, like character articles? I've seen quotes that people struggle to choose for the main quote - and maybe these quotes don't have to describe the entire plot, but some points in the book. Just an idea, though. Thoughts? 16:13, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

I really don't think we need anymore quotes on the pages...this isn't a character page, where there are multiple books/novels/ect, to choose from. I think one quote on each page is fine...although that's just me. ^^;;

Although it's not a bad idea, I don't really think it's necessary to have more than one. 14:06, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with Cloudy. As Chez stated, it's not a bad idea, though. Howver, having a single, main quote seems more ideal for a book article to me. I don't believe that more quotes are really neccessary. 16:05, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah...we really just need a main quote to capture the essence of a book. I'd have to agree with Skye. 16:15, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Just because it's a book, I think it needs just one. Brillinat idea though! 15:22, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Okay. =) I respect your opinions and if we don't need it, we don't need it. 00:01, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter subpages
So I believe the other discussion was archived due to lack of discussion as well as being off topic from the actual discussion posed, but I'm here to bring it up again. So as of current, many I personally think all actually of the cliffnote pages lack the detail they were created for. In the earlier discussion, it was thought up that perhaps each chapter could have it's own subpage and Skye made a draft of what that subpage would look like. I think it's a pretty neat idea, thus I'm bringing it up again. I also believe we should have nominations for these so as the project can look each page over and make sure the formatting, detail, and all the specifics are in check. =3 01:16, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Ohai, 'Teldy. So nice of you to edit here. XD

Anyways, I agree with this, (since I'm the one that made the draft) and I, as well, think that each chapter should be individually nominated, since asking someone to work on well over 15 pages at once for some books would be extremely outrageous.

Now, what about a navigational method? Would we use a template, or something of the like matter? o.o

Lol, anyways, would something like this work? 02:44, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, yes, that would work. It's simple, sweet, and to the point. I'm assuming there would be a template for each book? ...since all books don't have the same amount of chapters...  lol, never mind. Didn't read the entire thing.

I agree with this...and the template you made, Teldy, would work well. I also agree that each page should be individually nominated. It makes much more sense this way... :3 02:58, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

I've stated my opinion before, and I support this idea. I like the navigation template, and I agree that each article should be individually nominated. If the book article was nominated along with each chapter, many would probably find that too much work and simply withdraw. 04:02, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Pft, asking someone to work on 15 pages at once isn't outrageous. I'd cherish that. But, anyways, I like the navigation template - it's better than what we have so far, and I also like the nominations idea. Thus, I'm supporting the idea in general. 14:45, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yup. Not much more to say here than I support everything so far. 21:43, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Since this is going into the guidelines, and will be used, if voted in, I've added what should go in the guidelines, and added it here. If there are no more comments, I would like to place this to a vote, so we can officially use them.

I've put up the vote. 08:29, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
