Pineclaw ~ Silver Nomination
I think he looks good. I'll try to find a quote or two more if there are any. Comments? 14:07, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Expand his history if you can anymore. 23:12 Sun Feb 19

I added the little more I could find. 15:00, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

CBV? 15:01, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Vote is up! 03:52, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Mothwhisker ~ Silver Nomination
I believe I am doing this right... It looks as detailed as possible, in my opinion, for such a minor character. ^^ So, any comments?  ~Pouncey!  "Aloha!" "You're  Hawaiian?" "No..."  x3 16:59, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Can you detail the second paragraph in his history a bit more? :3 19:06, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Add another quote if you can and expand his appearance. 23:04 Wed Feb 22

I read the article, and I find that the history's somewhat choppy. Can you try to smooth out the history? If you can't, it's fine, it might be just me. -- 03:43, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

I'm having a little trouble getting the book, but I'll have it hopefully by Monday :x I'll work on smoothing out the paragraph, but the quotes and detail might have to wait a bit. ☾ ~Pouncey~ ☽  18:20, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I added more detail to his appearance and history and added a quote. 22:22, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

CBV? 15:01, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Vote is up! 03:52, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Cedarheart ~ Silver Nomination
I worked a lot on his article, and I think he's ready. :) Comments? 18:16, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm...looks good, Misty. For Starlight, could you possibly expand on he and the rest of the patrol did when they confronted Brambleclaw? Also, can you find another quote? Try looking in Battles of the Clans, if you can. 18:20, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Added a new quote, and expanded as much as I could into Starlight. 18:44, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Can you still try expanding Battles of the Clans some more? 04:51, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Expanded Battles of the Clans as much as I could. 02:06, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

CBV? 15:01, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

So sorry, Misty! However, this has already been voted into silver status. 03:52, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Working Revamp
Okay, so I got an idea while looking at another wiki, here. There's a template in the top that says a user is currently working on revamping the article, and only minor edits should be made without permission of that user. If someone wanted to add something, they'd have to contact the user in question. I was thinking we could have these. For example, Shelly is editing and revamping Brackenfur, so we could add it to his article until she's finished. 04:28, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and the text in the template says, ''This article is currently being reworked by USER in order to achieve a better status. We ask that edits to this article are only minor or gramatical in nature until this warning is removed, in order to not disrupt the major revamp. Should you wish to participate in the revamp, please contact the editor at work.'' There's a link to the user's talk page where it says, "the editor at work". 04:30, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

That wouldn't be half bad of an idea. Case and point for me: I just rewrote almost all of Brook's history. I wouldn't want a user coming in and messing up what I worked hard on. I mean, it may seem like a user is "claiming" an article, but, it would cause less edit conflicts. 8D 04:31, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

You know, I really like this idea. I support this. Good idea, Oblivion! 04:35, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

I support this idea too. I agree with everything that has been said above ^^ 04:52, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

I agree, good point Oblivion! Could we also have a thing where if 2+ users are working on it together, it could say "This article is currently being reworked by USERNAME, USERNAME and USERNAME ". I <3 this idea. 8D 05:16, Mon, Feb, 20, 2012

Great point Loonie! Agreeing what was said 100%. 14:50, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

This makes sense to me.

Good idea Loonie! :) 22:54 Thu Feb 23

This is a great idea! I actually wonder why it wasn't brought up before. 09:33, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

This is a good idea, however what concerns me is the fact that a user cannot edit something within the article without consent of the person who nominated it at that current moment. In fact, that is like "claiming" an article. True, you wouldn't want someone to mess up your work, but is "your work" really your work? Keep in mind that articles are the result of multiple contributors editing the article over many months or even years. Yes, Cloudskye did rewrite Brook's history, but what about the other conventions of the article? Such as family, description, citations, etc. This somewhat sounds like putting a user's name on the article and then claiming it as their own for a moment in time. I'm sorry, but this seems too much like claiming an article to me. 17:56, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

I have to agree with Atelda here. She makes a great point. This is a wiki, and wikis are made up of active contributors, not one single contributor. We cannot limit the editing of a user, because our combined edits is what forms a good wiki and a maybe even a good article. 18:12, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

(Holly's about to shoot herself in the foot) Yeah, in the way it's currently suggested, it could easily be seen by others as someone claiming an article. But rather than tossing out the idea entirely, maybe we could just say, "This article is currently being worked on to achieve a higher status." Or something along those lines. 21:10, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yes. We don't want anybody to be claiming it, but I agree with what Holly is saying.

But isn't that what we're doing to all articles? Don't you edit an article to make it better? 21:14, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yes. What are you saying then? 21:15, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

I can see where they're coming from, though. Say if someone wanted to nominated Firestar for silver status (yes, I know he's already been nominated and all), and they rewrote the entire article before nominating it...and someone else nominated it before they got the chance. Now, if I were the editor of the article, I would be peeved, since I'd put a lot of work into that article. Having someone else nominate your work and taking credit for it is just unfair. 21:19, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with what Cloud is saying. That would be unfair.

I'm still with 'teldy here. We have to assume goof faith, right? So it's not like every user is going to destroy your work the moment they hit the publish button. We simply can't prevent users from editing. And things can't be perfect either, if a user kinda ruins something, well, life's got challenges. 21:26, February 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * assume good faith* Oops. Dx -- 21:27, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

I can see having this if you don't want someone to nominate the article after you worked so hard on it. •Cheshire• ♣Happy St. Patrick's Day!♣ 21:29, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, and taking credit is quite unethical, however has this happened? I'm going to quote Kitsu in a previous discussion: "It's one thing to let others know you're doing heavy edits to avoid conflicts, but understand that in defense of this idea that someone can "take an article from someone else", since when has anyone ever owned an article on this wiki?"

In any case, project members are encouraged to help out each other in improving the articles so they can attain the certain grade.

To put up a template that says something like "This article is currently being worked on to achieve a higher status." would mean that we'd probably have to put a template on every article. What I mean is that every edit I do to an article is to have it achieve a higher status whether it be to take out an unprofessional phrase or add in a family tree. All articles are being worked on to achieve a higher status. 21:41, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

I see what you mean Atelda. •Cheshire• ♣Happy St. Patrick's Day!♣ 21:43, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

When I said that, I meant putting that on a page that was undergoing a nomination (for example, the three that I'm working on right now, Talonpaw, Hollowflight, and Sol's Father). If anything, I'd rephrase what I said before as, "This article is currently undergoing a nomination for a higher status." Either way, you have a good point, Atelda. 22:03, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

That would make sense so that there is no "double" nominations which I am not sure that has happened. •Cheshire• ♣Happy St. Patrick's Day!♣ 22:05, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Atelda has a valid point, and I like Hollydapple's suggestion. Besides, it's sorta discouraging users to edit pages when that sign is up basically saying not to edit the page unless your so-an'-so. 00:14 Mon Feb 27

Well people on the wiki try to contribute and I don't really think that there should be a header saying not to make a lot of changes. Users have the right to edit a page whether or not it is being worked on by another user, that is unless false information is being inserted into the articles. But I actually don't know where I stand on this idea. The only idea I could see is something saying "This page is currently being nominated for --- status. Please don't nominate it as it is currently being done." though I don't see the use for that really. 00:21 Feb 27

I see no point in putting up a template saying this article is currently going under nomination. But again, each user has the right to edit an article, major or minor edit, going under reconstruction or not, they have that right. Each article is under property of the wiki and PC, not a single user. 01:28, 03, 03, 2012

Leaving...
I hate to say this, but I'm leaving PC, or at least taking a break. I just don't feel I've contributed enough. I'll rejoin in maybe a month or so time, and see how I go, but for now, I'm sad to say I'm leaving. I'll still contribute to votes and stuff, but otherwise, sorry. 06:15, 07, 03, 2012

Oh, DJ...I'm really sorry to hear that you're going. You have contributed, don't try to tell me otherwise. I hope you decide to come back soon! Either way, thanks for all the work you've done. :) 00:07, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Holly for that. I do hope to come back soon. 03:17, 09, 03, 2012

Vicky's Facebook
Hi all. I think this has been addressed before, but I cannot remember a solution. When I click the link on a reference that says "Revealed on Vicky's Facebook Page", it takes me to her page, which means I have to navigate around to find the fact in question (or maybe search;I'm not sure as I don't use Facebook). I would suggest someone taking a screenshot and using that in the reference link. Perhaps something like this:

Revealed on Vicky's Facebook pageScreenshot

Kind regards, 10:33, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

That's a good idea. I know when I link to Vicky's facebook, I actually link to a Warriors Wish thread, most of the time...and all of that info comes straight from Vicky's facebook. A screenshot would be a good idea, since it's something solid that never actually goes away, unless someone photoshops it - although why anyone would do that is beyond me. 18:59, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

I think we should do this, for reasons already stated above. ^^ 00:09, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

I've already started that. Look at the ref for the cats on the cover of Forest of Secrets. Simple, quick and not photoshoped. 18:08, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Cloudy, perhaps you should provide a link to Vicky's Facebook as well, and add the screenshot as superscript? 20:17, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Well, unless it's been permalinked (as in a link on someone else's wall) I'm not sure how to do it without linking to the normal facebook, and having users search for it. xD That's the best I can do for now. 20:34, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Well, like this: Revealed on Vicky's FacebookScreenshot

Hiatus
I'm sorry guys, but I need to take another hiatus. There is way too much going on, and I'm sick with the flu, which is why I haven't been editing. When my schedule becomes a bit more free, I'll return. But there's no time right now. :c it doesn't help that I have a 101.2 F fever. 15:13, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that, Maple. Feel better soon~ 18:08, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about all that, Maple. I hope you get well soon! 22:53, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
