Warriors Wiki talk:Books

March FA Suggestions, Anyone?
Sooooooo, here we are around the middle of February. What do you guys want to do for an FA next month? I want to do something from the newest arc, but, that's just my own personal opinion. Maybe Fading Echoes, perhaps? I'll leave suggestions and things up to you guys. 21:38, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Fading Echoes does look amazing, if we're going for the newer arc books, maybe Sign of the Moon? 00:34, Sun, Feb, 12, 2012

I was thinking of a super edition. Maybe Crookedstar's Promise or SkyClan's Destiny? I can understand if you think CP needs to be expanded more. If not Fading Echoes is a good choice.

Fading Echoes sounds good to me. 15:56 Sun Feb 12

Crokedstar's Promise needs to be expanded a bit before it's nominated - seems a little rushed to me. SkyClan's Destiny looks okay, and so does Sign of the Moon. If someone's willing to clean up CP, then I don't see why it couldn't be considered for an FA. 22:28, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Okay. If I can I'll try since I have the book.

'kay guys, we need to make a choice. I want to get the vote up by next Tuesday, so make your final comments before then. 20:00, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

SkyClan's Destiny seems good to me. 01:33, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with SkyClan's destiny. 8D 01:06, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

I like SD too. 02:59, Sun, Feb, 19, 2012

Hmm, either SkyClan's Destiny or Fading Echoes then. I see nothing wrong with doing a super edition, and in fact, that's a better idea anyways. We can save Fading Echoes and the other suggestions for another month. I already know what I want to be done for April (I wanna finish up the OS, making The Darkest Hour April's FA, to celebrate the ending of the Firestar cycle in the Warriors series). 03:09, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

SkyClan's Destiny looks good. And that sounds like a good idea for April's FA.

Since y'all seem to have switched from Fading Echoes to SkyClan's Destiny, I just put up the vote for that one. Thanks for actually caring about the discussion this month, guys. 8D 17:17, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Welcoming New Users
Okay, guys. I've been seeing this a lot recently. Some of you will edit the page when someone posts a join request, welcoming them to the project. Can we try and not do that anymore? It's not really worth the edit, if you ask me, since I usually archive join requests not long after I add them and show 'em the guidelines.

Again, can we stop with the spamming? If you want to welcome a new user or something....go talk to them on the chat...please. It's not really fitting for a project page when it's filled with "welcome!" and things like that. 00:35, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Agreed by me. 00:37, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. 22:11 Sun Feb 12

I agree too. 05:23, Mon, Feb, 13, 2012

Probably Worth Noting
Erm, hi. (afraid of treading in Cloudy's territory) Erm, I think that this may have something of note for you guys to deal with. It's the first three books in a single novel, but it also includes a shiny new short story apparently. So yeah... do with it what you will. 17:43, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, that'll probably go in the cover gallery if we can find both a front shot and a back shot. As for the short story, if it's a new one, it'll probably get a whole new page. Good fine, Shelly. I'd forgotten about that.. xD 17:46, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Woah, good find Shelly. 02:02, Sat, Feb, 18, 2012

I don't see why it wouldn't get a page. All the others short stories and plays have them.

Only problem is, it only exists in e-book form. Someone with an e-reader or at least iTunes needs to buy it and read it. 19:34, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

I could probably steal my brother's kindle and get him to buy it on there. 08:34, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Quote Nomination - Into the Wild
I think (hope) I'm doing this right or something. I found some quotes that I thought were good in Into the Wild, and erm, yeah. One of you Americans are gonna have to check the pages though, I only have the British version.

"Come on then! What's it like, living wild? Is it as good as you thought it'd be?"

Smudge asking Firepaw about the wild, pg 149

"Fire alone can save our Clan"

Spottedleaf givng a prophecy, pg 19

"You must have heard of the four warrior Clans that hunt around here! I belong to ThunderClan. The other clans are always trying to steal prey from our territory, especially ShadowClan. They're so fierce, they would have ripped you to shreds, no questions asked."

Greypaw explaining the Clans to Rusty, pg 28

"There's never enough to go round. If you didn't live such a soft, overfed life, you would know that!"

Bluestar about the amount of prey, pg 33

"All cats serve the Clan. Loyalty to the Clan is the first law in our warrior code, a lesson you must learn quickly if you wish to stay with us."

Lionheart about loyalty, pg 47

Erm, yeah. I don't really know what to say now. 13:14, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

I like #1 and #3. Can you try to find some more?

I think the quotes she has are fine, Chez. Anyways, Leopard, it doesn't matter which version you got the quotes from. Nowhere does it say it must be from the American one. I like quote three. =D 19:34, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Right, ok. I'll see if I can see some more because I'm bored mostly. And, Skye, it says somewhere in the rules that references and whatnot should be from the American version, but whatever XD. I added one I lied, I actually added two more, but I found no decent others. 20:28, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Those are for the references. The quotes aren't even mentioned in the guidelines, because that was my suggestion, and I couldn't be bothered to add it in/didn't think it mattered. I, personally, don't care which version is used. In fact, I support you using a version other then American. This website is not just American editors. >.> 15:57, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

I suppose, yeah. Well, personally, I like 3 the best. 08:15, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

I adore the last one! 01:08, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I like the last one too. 06:39, 23, 02, 2012

Dawn ~ Quote Nomination
Okay! So, I found a few quotes for Dawn! Here they are:


 * "We still have our Clan. There is always hope."

--Firestar, page 4


 * "We will leave at dawn!"

--Firestar announcing the time of the departure of the Clans, page 205


 * "The cats who first crossed the mountains--whether they are still with us or live among other warriors--will always be honored by every Clan for their courage."

--Firestar talking about the cats who were part of the prophecy, page 333


 * "This is the place we where meant to find, and StarClan is here."

--Leafpaw's thoughts on the lake when she finds it, page 335

I personally like 2, and 3. Comments? 06:40, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

I quite like 2, 3 and 4 to be honest. =P 07:47, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

I like them all but I am leaning towards 1 and 2.

I like 1, 3, and 4. Nice quotes! ^^ 00:40, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'm having a rough time deciding between one and four. Both are very said during very key times in Dawn... If I had to, I'd choose quote four. 02:30, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Quote four would be great. 02:07, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

I like number 3 and 4. 07:22, 22, 02, 2012

I like #4 21:33 Thu Feb 23

Crookedstar's Promise ~ Quote Nomination
First nomination (Woo!). Found some quotes for CP. I can try to find more if necessary.

1. "No Mapleshade, you are wrong. I still have a Clan that I love, and am proud to lead, and now... now everything is precious to me here, in StarClan. My family is waiting here for me, when my ninth life has passed." Crookedstar ~page 508

2. "A destiny shouldn't be played with like prey." Goosefeather ~page 236

3. "Do you remember what I said? Do you remember my exact words? I can give you everything you ever dreamed of, power over all your Clanmates, if you promise to be loyal to you Clan above all other things. Do you make that promise? And you did! You promised! You chose to sacrifice every cat you ever loved. Your mother, your brother, your mate, and now your own kits: From that one promise, I could take them all!" Mapleshade ~page 481

4. "I want you to be the greatest warrior RiverClan has ever known-the greatest any Clan will ever know. Willowpaw is a sweet, pretty cat and I'm not surprised you're fond of her. But the sweetest traps are often the most dangerous." Mapleshade ~page 236

5. "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." Mapleshade ~page 116

I like all of these personally.

I'm loving #3 and #5. They both focus more around the promise Crookedkit made; the main point of the story. 03:16, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

I tried to include the promise, since it is the main plot I guess (Why else would the book be called Crookedstar's Promise?). I do really like #3 and #5 too.

My favorite's 5, personally. 06:11, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

I like 5 and 1. 17:07, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

If I could only pick one, it'd have to be #5.

I like all of them ^^ These are good quotes. They tie into the book and the conflict. 02:26, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

<333 these quotes. 8D I like number 3 and 5. 07:31, 22, 02, 2012

I personally love number 3! But a close second is numer 5 :D 21:38 Wed Feb 22

I'm going to be the oddball and say I like quote two. It's not too spoiler-ish, and makes the reader want to see what Goosefeather's talking about. 21:23, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I personally like quote 3, but isn't that the quote that's showed on like the back of the book. 21:28, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Partially, Rowan. I think that quote three is said later on in the book...after all of that. Considering I haven't read CP since I got it, I wouldn't know. 21:38, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Senior Warriors?
I come to you with an idea. I was talking with CinderxLion, and she said something that perked my interest. The project doesn't have senior warriors. No, not senior members, because that exists only in PCA. Here, they will be called senior warriors. Anyways, I was thinking...since Rainlegs and I can't do everything, and both of us are very scatterbrained when it comes to remembering things... I thought it would be nice to nominate one or two users to help us out. Plus, in case we ever have to take a temporary leave from the wiki, like I did back in December, it would cause a lot less chaos and confusion as to who's in charge.

I know the project's small, and a leader and deputy should be able to manage it...but there are times where we cannot do everything. They'd have the same roles as the senior warrior/s in PC. They can archive, CBV, and set up votes, among other small technical stuff. Now, I know that not everyone in the project knows how to do that...and if you want to know, don't be afraid to ask me or Rainlegs ( although you'd be better off asking me, since Leggo is worse then I am scatterbrain-wise XD  ).

Anyways, this is it in a nutshell. I'd like one or two warriors to help out. They'd be allowed to do the same basic thing that Rainlegs and I can do. I already have her support, and the conditions and all will be sorted out when I can sit down with her and discuss this fully. If you have any suggestions on qualifications, please, say something. =) 02:59, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I'd love to volunteer, but I am new to the project. As you said on chat, I would recommend Sweetflower or Stoneclaw.

I'd love to volunteer too. There are a few active users up for the job, and Cheshire, it's fine if you're new, you know. =P Cinder and Chez are other choices. There are only like, 4 active warriors in the project, you know. I know how to put up forums from PR, and it's not hard to learn. 06:10, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

I think this is a good idea, and I shan't volunteer yet, I'm not quite worthy as such. I think guidelines would be something along the lines of 'Must have been a member for X months, Must be organised, Must be active', and all that rubbish XD 17:10, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

I actually do have to agree with Stoneclaw. Not a whole lot of users are active warriors to the project (not that they're not inactive) besides Leader, Deputy, and a couple of warriors.

I'd like to volenteer if no one minds. tehehe  I already have experience with the duties SW's have from PW. I think Cinder and Ches and Stoney would make great senior warriors. 8D 07:40, 22, 02, 2012

I'd also suggest 'Teldy if she volenteers. 07:57, 22, 02, 2012

I would suggest Stoneclaw and Cinder and DJ to be SW's, and if Atelda wanted to I would volunteer her since she is already a lead of a project.

I'd love to be a senior warrior, I think Atelda and Snoteclaw deserve it the most though. :D (NO offense to anyone else.) 17:32 Wed Feb 22

I think they should also have at least 3 nominations, quotes or for silver. 17:34 Wed Feb 22

(sorry for removing messages..I don't know what happened..never showed up..I am so sorry..) And Sweet it shouldn't matter the votes, but that they're active and devoted to the project. Also as long as they're active, they don't need to know how to put up votes or that stuff because they can learn. 01:23, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, Sweet, the number of nominations you suggested is a good idea. However, they can't all be quote nominations. I'd like at least one (two if you're lucky) to be for a silver/gold nomination, instead of just quotes. Getting an article to a higher grade is a lot more important then adding a quote. As long as they have at least one book nomination (which includes suggesting for the FAs), then they're qualified enough. They should also have been active in the project for a good amount of time too. I'll be talking to Rainy about this when she gets on chat later.

I'm glad to see that you guys are so interested in this. This is the most activity I've seen from PB in quite a few months, and I'm proud to be this project's leader. I hope we can get the technical specifications dealt with, because this looks promising. 21:27, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Skye. Quote nominations are easy. An actual article grade (silver or gold) is a lot more important then finding a quote for a book's article.

Anyway, Skye and I were discussing a few requirements in the chat. We decided that the new SW should be a member for at least two months, have at least one article nomination, and a thorough understanding of our guidelines and other rules. Does this sound okay to you guys? 01:18, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

I agree. One article nomination sounds great. 01:21, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Outcast ~ Quote Nomination
I thought this was enough, but I can find more quotes if necessary.

1. A good warrior will always do as much as he can to feed the Clan. ~Lionpaw page 13

2. You will find your answers in the mountains though they may not be the ones you most want to hear. ~Rock page 60

3.Fighting is scary. If we have to fight another Clan, they won't sheathe their claws. ~Brambleclaw page 83

4. Cat were dead; something needed to be done. I can't tell who said this, can someone check? Page 105

5. What the Tribe needs now are strong, fit warriors. How can they defend themselves when they're weakened by hunger and constant fighting? ~Jaypaw page 107

I like 5. 04:03, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I like 5 too. 06:45, 23, 02, 2012

I like 5, and 1 also. 08:32, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Signature fail. I like 5 the most.

Agreeing with the others. Five's looking good to me. 21:37, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I like number 5 too. <span style="">22:10 Thu Feb 23

5 rocks. 8D 01:19, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Since everyone likes five...and I doubt we'll get any objections... CBV? 01:21, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Re-join
Hello all! I would like to re-join! Thanks, 04:07, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Sure! I'll Add you in! A lead will add you in... Welcome 21:08, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Rowan. Welcome back. =D Since it's been a while since you've been here, I advise re-reading the guidelines. 21:12, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
