Activity
I usually create or edit pages that refer to the Warriors world, to present key concepts in comprehensive style.

 * Camp * Cat Names * Clan Meeting * Diseases * Dog * Events Timeline * Fox * Half-Clan * Patrol * Saving the Kits * The Ancients * The Forest * Translations * Vigil


 * Templates I Created
 * support-char * support-clan * support-pair


 * Tutorials I Created
 * Arranging Userboxes * Creating Templates

Mentor
I am a Mentor on this wiki. I can offer help in anything from basics (such as creating and formatting pages) to expert editing (such as creating advanced layouts, constructions, templates, scripts and so on). Feel free to ask for help on my Talk page.

Notes to Fellow Editors
Some advice to improve the wiki (and the community), based on my experience here:
 * If you see a new page that you don't necessarily find useful, instead of asking 'Do we need this?', you should ask 'Is this against the wiki's purpose?' All Warriors-related articles have a place on this wiki - that is what the wiki is for! ;)
 * Before reverting an edit or deleting a section / page you don't agree with, you should first see if the questionable parts can be fixed and used, and check the Talk page.
 * If you see a red link that refers to a concept in the Warriors series (like Barley's Farm), do not remove it, as it indicates that the page should (or will) be created.
 * When writing a synopsis (such as a Character History), use present tense. Do not alter present and past tenses when describing a plot; past tense is only used for things that happened before the storyline (e.g. a flashback)
 * Please make sure your spelling is correct (you can install spell checkers in any browser). The most frequent misspellings I see is "rouge" instead of rogue, "recieve" instead of receive, or "neice" instead of niece.

Books Read
I started reading Warriors in March 2008. Books I own (and have read):
 * All books from the Original Series
 * Firestar's Quest
 * All books from the New Prophecy Series
 * Cats of the Clans and Secrets of the Clans
 * I could not make myself read anything after the New Prophecy - cats having super-powers, reading dreams, fighting spirits, traveling in time, changing religion simply do not appeal to me. I appreciate only the first two series, when cats were still cats - for me, Warriors end with Sunset.

Warriors Preferences
Favourite books
 * Into the Wild - the one that started it all
 * A Dangerous Path - can you feel the tension?
 * Dawn - the most epic book of the series, with the Clans journeying into the unknown
 * Sunset - Bramble and Squirrel are together again

Favourite Cats
 * Brambleclaw - I know many people hate him, but I just don't. He is a complex and believable character: has his strengths, flaws, fears, worries. He is loyal and brave, a natural leader, and would do anything for the Clan, always concerned about their well-being. He must work very hard to be accepted by the others, as most of them see Tigerstar in him, but in the end he succeeds and finds his place.
 * Goldenflower - for the way she protected her kits and stood up for them - in the end, she proved right
 * Hawkfrost - having been a loner he struggles hard to be accepted, always eager to show that he is loyal to his Clan, and painfully sticking to the warrior code. However, he is inexperienced with Clan ways and history, and naively thinks that Tigerstar wants the best for the Clans by trying to unite and purify them. In fact, Tigerstar wanted to have his personal revenge, and by the time Hawkfrost realizes his mistake, it is too late to turn back and he dies a gruesome death.

Least Favourite Cats
 * Tigerstar - he is a cruel murderer; I will never forgive him luring the dog pack to the camp or having Stonefur killed. I know that every plot needs villains, but he overdoes it. Making a hill of bones, come on. And he won't understand that he is dead.
 * Leopardstar - a spineless cat; arrogant and hostile when feeling in charge, but ready to give up her entire Clan just like that when menaced, and just stands around as her deputy and apprentices are about to be murdered
 * Spottedleaf - it is boring how she pokes her nose into everything, even though she is dead; each time there is some problem, there comes Spottedleaf with her sweet scent to give some obscure advice that is understood only after it's already irrelevant

Favourite Clan
 * Meh, it's got to be RiverClan. They are proud, strong and smart. ThunderClan are too heroic, WindClan are too wimpy, and ShadowClan is shadowed by its share of evil leaders.

Favourite Pairings
 * Brambleclaw x Squirrelflight - it was a match made in StarClan - and the Erins ruined it to create some cheap drama. I still hope they will make up - remember the vision of the starry pawprints?
 * Rainwhisker x Swallowtail - one of the pairings of the Great Journey; they were sweet together, and it was sad when they had to break up
