Ferncloud - Silver Nomination
She has lots of information, and will appear in the OTS books, but that can't stop her from being Silver. Comments? Icestorm Hi There! 23:14, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know, her history looks good but there are a few issues with citations; her mentors need to be cited and a LOT of her family members either need page numbers or don't have citations at all. I feel a bit uneasy putting it up for silver knowing this, but how do you guys feel? I won't stop it just cause of my own opinions. insan TA STE  THE  RAIN BOW  eu lar  02:48, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I think the citations are needed. She has a huge family so we can't just leave them without references. Not to mention she is one of the vandals' favourites for adding false family. I'll see if I can do some of them ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  14:07, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Woah, now when I go to her page-well all article pages I see nothing at all! Just a dumb loading sign. *sighs* Well I'll see if I can add some on my sister's computer. Icestorm Hi There! 16:03, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

All the citations are in place excepting Poppyfrost's kits as I don't own TFA ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  22:10, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I can add that for you, Sandy. I really don't Ferncloud is ready for Silver. Her information looks like it's the bare minimum. She appears about as much as Icecloud and look what her page looks like now after I've gone through and added all of her appearances in the books. → Sky feather  22:15, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. Insane found the page no for me. I'll look at her appearances now =) ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  22:17, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Is this being worked on or should this be put off voting until it is more complete? insan TA STE  THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  22:00, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Birdflight-Silver Nomination
I think Birdflight's article is ready. I can find her description pretty quickly, since I know where my book is. If she appears again, we could probably update it quickly. But her entire family is cited. Comments? I'm sorry if I didn't make any sense... Maplefern Hi everyone! 16:00, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

She was actually missing a lot of distant descendants, which I added now, but do you guys think it's okay to have it with "Strongly suggested in firestar's quest, page 496-497" for the citation for all of them, or should we get their specific citations? (I added that one for all of them since some of her other descendandts had it). Sorry to be so nitpicky about family sections but I'm trying to change them all over to our new format, and get them cited right. <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  16:26, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I cited all her family properly now; does anyone see any other issues with her article, or shall I put up the vote? <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  00:46, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Since there are no objections I will put her up for vote. <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  22:00, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Voting Changes?

 * Alright, I've noticed that we've been getting a lot more silver nominations, which is great! However, the little blue box that hold articles up for votes is going to explode soon, so I thought, maybe we can shorten the time we leave articles up for vote? I say this because usually we're in agreement anyway, and the vote usually gets around 5 "yay" votes in the first few days then just sits there for the rest of the week, and now that we're getting more votes, I thought maybe it would be suitable to change that, if there are no issues you guys can think of? Also, this is something I would probably need to check with Bramble about, but I've also considered the possibility of having 2 featured articles a month, or changing them more often, since, with only one being featured a month, that limits us from letting articles become Gold. (Not that a ton of articles deserve it, it's just that we have lots of silvers now and with a bit more work and a feature, a bunch of them could be ready for gold.) If it's okay with Bramble, do you guys think that would be good, or just force us to put up articles that aren't deserving of a feature? <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  16:26, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Maplefern Hi everyone! 16:27, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I think the silver nomination voting could be shortened, and the feature article could be changed to fortnightly maybe? If we don't have another cat deserving of the spot then we can just choose cat to get to that standard. If everyone in the project worked on a specific cat to get them ready to be a feature (obviously silver first) then I don't see it being a problem. ∑✐+ᖱ = ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  16:29, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Alright let's try this, just vote in these polls for the final verdict, and leave any additional comments or concerns about them under the polls? This will just be like a faster way to make sure we're agreed. <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  18:46, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Q: How long Should Silver Votes stay up? Three Days Four Days Five Days Keep it at a week! Other (Comment)

Q: How long should Feature article/Gold votes stay up? Five days Keep it at a week Two weeks Other (Comment)

So, according to the polls, you guys seems to want 5 day silver votes, and FAs up for two weeks each, cool? The only issue is the FA voting, because, if we have a FA every 2 weeks, and it takes 2 weeks for the voting, we'd have to get one into voting by the time the last one had been taken down, and with one going up every 2 weeks anyway, that's already going to be more work for us, so I don't want it to be that hectic. Of course, we could always leave one up for longer if we have to, but if we end up doing that everytime it defeats the purpose of shortening the time at all. So is it okay with the people that voted for 2 weeks for that one, if we stay at one week? <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  13:26, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay guys, I am mega-super-duper sorry D: I just asked Bramble, and, the changing the FA things won't work out. It would make organizational things harder for her, and she also pointed out that it's probably better to make all the non-silver or gold articles better first. Which are good points. Anyways, I am really sorry for half-promising that it would change, and I should have checked first. But, at least we can change the silver votes to 5 days, if everyone is agreed on that? <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  22:01, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, Changed the vote template to five days, I'm going to change all the current votes to that as well. <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  22:25, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Cinderpelt- Gold?
I was just looking at Cinderpelt's article and saw on her talk page that she was gold. I think she needs to be demoted to silver or even bronze. Her article is no where near gold level and I can tell by glancing at how small her book appearances are that all of them have not been documented. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  21:21, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I think bronze. There is a lot of info missing and most citations aren't there either ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  21:22, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I hate to say this, but I have to agree. She was voted into gold a long time ago, but only processed now.. and, well, she really doesn't seem to live up to the standards. Maybe once she gets worked on again she can be gold, but for now, should she be silver or bronze? Personally, I think she couldn't even make silver with the qualifications we have now... <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  21:24, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

She should be bronze at the most. And if Cinderpelt should ever be gold again, it would have to be voted on. But she has already been a featured article, so that makes it easier. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  21:30, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hasn't this been discussed before? And it was decided that it would be kept gold.– – G r  a y  r a  v e  n p  a <span style="color:darkgreen; background:orange; border:1px solid magenta;" title="what links to my userpage">w  – – Scourge • Redtail • Graystripe • Cinderpelt 09:05, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that was about the question of wether it was voted into gold at all or not, which it was. But now we're questioning if it deserves the gold grade. <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  12:08, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say Bronze then.– – G r  a y  r a  v e  n p  a <span style="color:darkgreen; background:orange; border:1px solid magenta;" title="what links to my userpage">w  – – Scourge • Redtail • Graystripe • Cinderpelt 09:28, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

StarClan Affiliations
I was talking with Insane on the IRC, and we were discussing how on several cat's charcat templates, such as Yellowfang's, it says their current affie is StarClan. And in past it says the Clan they were in. Should we have a formal setup for it, since it really doesn't make sense? I mean, just because they joinm StarClan doesn't mean they have no loyalties to their Clans anymore. My idea was that we post both StarClan and their Clan they were in alive, so we don't confuse people. So, what do you guys think? Møųş ëţą  łő  ŉ!!  21:36, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion, I think StarClan (And Place of No Stars) Don't need to be in the affiliation list at all, since they're more of a residence than an affiliation. Anywho, what do you guys think? <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  21:37, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have to agree with Insane. On most articles, StarClan isn't even mentioned even though that cat has died. It would be easier just to change it to what their affliction was when they died. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  21:44, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have to agree with Insane also. It IS true on most articals that Starclan dosen't really dosent take a big role.Sky, I think it would be easier to change what their current affie is to when the had died. So practally, I agree with you both. FirePelt
