The Sight - Silver Nomination
I'd like to nominate The Sight for a Silver Nomination. Just one question, should we include the alternate version where Jaykit, Lionkit and Hollykit have yellow eyes in the gallery, or is that unnecessary? Earth bender Tawny Style! 18:01, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

The article is great, but before we make a book article silver, its sub-pages (Cliffnotes, Allegiances, Gallery) must qualify for silver (or be already silver). Allegiances and Gallery are OK, but the Cliffnotes need some work; more detail should be added to them. As for the cover - yes, we should include it, as there were books actually released with this cover. I added it to the Gallery. Kind regards, 18:31, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the Cliffnotes, Helix. I thought myself that they were going to need some work. The problem is that I'm returning The Sight to my friend and I don't own it (well I did, but I lost it ;) anyways, from the rest of the time I have left, I will work my tail off to fix the Cliffnotes ;P Earth  bender Tawny Style! 18:34, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I had to give The Sight back to my friend tonight, but I expanded the Prologue and Chapters 1-3. I'm getting The Sight from the bookstore soon (most likely this upcoming Saturday), but for now, I could use some help for expanding it. Earth bender Tawny Style! 20:26, August 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for your work, those chapters are really great! Unfortunately I don't have the book so I cannot help out, but I'm sure it will be done soon. Thanks again, 05:05, August 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I found The Sight!!! :DDD Anyways, I'll continue to work on the Cliffnotes. ;P Earth  bender Tawny Style! 17:56, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

I have a few minor issues with the main article, though the cliffnotes are coming along well. The Trivia section, publish date and praise all needs citations. I'll take a look tomorrow if no one gets this first =) Also, I have a liking for those neat edition sections as can be found on the Midnight and Moonrise articles. It would be really good if we could get that together for this book (if applicable of course) though I have to admit that I need to get my head around how to source the informaton myself, so let's call it a learning curve for just about everyone here. -- Sandy star 17:42, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately I don't think I will get it first (quite busy these days), so you (or someone) should "take a look". ;) I started the Editions section however, adding the two known foreign editions; the rest (i.e. the English ones) can be found out easily from amazon. I'm glad you like the idea btw, and as I promised, I will sort out the data for all book articles as a criteria for silver nomination (NP already has them). Of course, if you wish, I can put together some tutorial on where / how to search for info on editions, so you (and others) can help out too. :) 20:23, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Scratch that, I got them for you (except the wolf controversy - I didn't find any reliable source yet). 20:23, August 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've spent about an hour looking and haven't found anything either. I'm not sure where we go from here; all I can suggest is that we remove this information and if there is ever a source found for it then it can be added again. There is nothing els wrong with the article as far as I can see. 11:38, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Any more comments before the vote goes up? 08:51, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, we still have to sort out the cliffnotes. Totallytawnypelt99 was working on them, but stopped after the first 6 chapters. The rest of the chapters are not bad and could qualify for silver; but the article looks very uneven this way; either we need to expand the rest or tone down a bit the first ones. Tawny, if you read this, please tell if you still plan to complete it. 16:27, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Please excuse me. I competely forgot about them. We definitely need to make it consistent. 17:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry that I stopped so soon ;P I lost it for a while (I'm not that well organized and I got grounded for a few days) and I am still working on them, Sandy. But I'm also working on the Cliffnotes to BOTC... Earth bender Tawny Style! 22:05, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Wait, shall this be taken down, as Tawny left the Wiki? 01:39, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * A section should be taken down when the discussion / activity in question is complete. This section is about expanding The Sight cliffnotes and article, and should remain here until that task is completed and The Sight and its sub-pages qualify for silver, no matter if Tawny left or not (Sandy is actively working on the cliffnotes as I see).
 * Talking about archiving, the section about SkyClan cliffnotes shouldn't have been taken down either, as the SkyClan cliffnotes are not complete yet. It should have been archived when the article in question is complete; and it is not yet.
 * Furthermore, Join requests like this should be put in their dedicated Join archive, not the one with the discussions.
 * Please be a little more attentive when archiving. Regards, 03:51, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Helix: I moved the join request to the correct archive for you. Whitestorm: You can archive however you like but I generally tried to keep it to 30 join requests per join archive and 20 discussions per archive, with the archives labelled by date (because I'm OCD like that). On this section: I am still working on the cliffnotes and apologise for only doing a few sections but it's not the most entertaining of tasks, I had college work to do and I had to go to work. I'll try and do a few more today. This is a community project though and although one person may nominate an article, the whole community have the responsibility to work on it. Therefore, this shouldn't be archived just because Tawny has left. 07:22, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, please, anyone who owns this book feel free to work on it. I'll try to get it from the library tommorow. 01:06, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

This has been here for two months with seemingly no one to work on it... so this Friday I bought The Sight, worked my way through it this weekend, and expanded / rewrote the Cliffnotes. These are now complete and I support the articles for a silver nomination. 09:27, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Helix, my library was supposed to be getting the book soon, but they still haven't. -_- Anyways, they look fine for silver. 11:47, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Since there has been no comments for five days, I am putting the vote up. 23:07, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

New Covers
Heyo boyos. I've found some new cover art; nothing exciting, just works of the American version. There are four Vietnamese covers of the first four in the OS, and one new Czech cover of Into the Wild. In uploading these to the gallery I used the newly approved naming convention, and also changed the Book Covers policy to fit in with the new format. However, Vietnamese and Czech were not listed among the languages. I used 'VI' for Vietnamese and 'CZ' for Czech, if that's all right. Shall I add the two languages among the others in the policy? -- 04:52, October 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I knew of the Vietnamese editions, but not about the other two - many thanks for finding these. :) I also uploaded some covers I recently found: Portuguese version of the first, Slovenian of the first two, and Dutch version of the third book. And yes, please update the language list in the policy - VI Vietnamese, CZ Czech, SI Slovenian and PT Portuguese. Kind regards, 16:57, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you for finding all these covers! =) 21:38, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
