Next Content Drive

 * So, we haven't had a formal content drive in a little while- I put up the TFA characters one quite a while ago, and by now most characters have their history filled in. (It didn't have a lot of emphasis on it anyway...) So I think it's time we picked our next Content Drive. Personally, I'd like to do Cinderpelt- Since we just were forced to demote her from Gold, it'd be nice to be able to work her back up to the standard again. Do people like Cinderpelt, have other ideas, etc.?

I like the idea of Cinderpelt. Was planning on getting her up to scratch anyway as I felt sorry after her demotion. =) ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  22:31, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Cinderpelt should be next. But what will happen after that? If everybody is working on her, she going to get back up pretty quickly. How about the main characters of the Original series? (e.g., Sandstorm, Firestar, Dustpelt, Cinderpelt, but not Bluestar or Graystripe, I should think) Maplefern May StarClan light your pathHow's the Prey running? 15:00, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's worth considering, but I think we could spend one or two weeks working on individual articles and get them pretty much Gold-ready, and just switch whenever they're done. I don't think we'll make as much progress on any of them if there are multiple ones. (Which is why the last one knda failed XD) I realize now that the point of the Content drive is to focus everything on one article. It's a good idea though, to do some other OS characters after her, since a lot of them could easily be pushed up to Gold level witha bit of work (of course some need to be featured, but yeah...) Sorry for my incoherent ramblings, I was sick today and I'm still shaking it off. insan TA STE  THE  RAIN BOW  eu lar  22:12, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

I got snowed in today. :) What about characters from TFA? ♥Mouse♥  ♥Heart♥  18:02, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Washington got 20"!!!!!!!! sorry OT there. TFA characters were the last drive. I agree we need a single character. ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  21:27, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Sandy, what character needs the most work on their article. Whichever does, I think that should be our content drive. ღ♥Fire-Heart♥ღ  22:49, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

So, if there are no objections, Cindepelt will be our next one, and once she's done we can move onto some of the others Maple suggested. insan TA STE  THE  RAIN BOW  eu lar  23:01, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Yah. After I posted my above comment, I looked up and I was like, I'm an idiot. Sandy- 20 inches? We got six! :( ♥Mouse♥  ♥Heart♥  23:52, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. I will post her now, and compile a list of concerns on her talk page to be worked on. Let the content driving begin! insan TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  23:08, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Put up the concerns on her talk page, if you see any more, feel free to add them.

Tadpole - Silver Nomination
He was around for one book and his page is huge!-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 22:38, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

He needs a description citation, but other than that, he looks good. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 01:37, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't ever say in the manga what Tadpole looks like but we know his description. What fo I do...?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 21:48, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

That's fine, since he was only seen in the manga. insaneular   Talk  21:58, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Is someone going to add this? It seems a shame to have to archive him when he's so close. insaneular   Talk  23:06, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Are we still making him a description cite? Because other then that he's ready. I thought someone else did it, sorry. But, could someone do it please? I'm still learning the reference code. Thanks. :( -- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 16:26, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Got it :) Tadpole is so cute! But there's one thing I don't get, what' s the deal with the white splotch? On all the images of the cover of Return to the Clans on the internet I see, Tadpole has the white splotch on his shoulder. But I have the book, and he doesn't have it on the cover of mine. What's the deal with that? Goldfall Meet me at the end of the rainbow! 08:25, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Night. And was the white splotch in the description? Because I have never seen any picture or description of him with any white parts. maybe someone just put it uup..?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 16:11, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I've heard about the white splotch on and off too, but considering that within the books is usually more trustworthy than the covers, we should probably stick with all black. That's the way his PCA image is, too. I think he's ready for vote then, if there are no other comments? insaneular   Talk  17:12, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Brackenfur - Silver Nomination
The cat with most apprentices, ^^, doesn't have a silver apprentice. :O  Saint Ice   ♣  19:29, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

He looks good but some of his NP and PoT could use a bit more expansion. I could work on that some.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 01:27, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ironically, he needs citations for all of his apprentices. Also, as Artimas said, his history could be much more detailed. For supporting characters like him, it's best to list even minor appearances just so it can be complete. (For examples of this amount of detail see Sootfur, Rainwhisker, Swiftpaw) I can also help with that tomorrow if needed  insaneular    Talk  01:32, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'll work on it.  Trout leap  01:02, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone have a copy of Sunrise and Rising Storm? I don't have those books,  Trout leap  17:32, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I can go through for those two, Ice. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  18:15, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Rippletail Silver Nomination
Well he hardly appeared besides tFA but he still has all his info. Should we give him a silver?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 01:46, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

He needs a description citation, and maybe detail is TFA history more, about when they were on the journey, since that was his only major appearance we should do it justice. insaneular   Talk  01:32, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'll go get on that. Other then that I think he's good (maybe because he has NO other appearences? :D )-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 00:52, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

It's been three days and no one has touched the article since the 1st; remember to work on it, Artimas, or it will have to be declined. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  17:31, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I worked on it a little. I'll do one big check today to see if he needs anything else but after that I think he's good to go.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 16:12, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Redclaw - Silver Nomination
He appeared once but I got down some extra info. Think he's ready?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 00:06, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure Redclaw can be a silver article. From the look of it, he is mentioned only once and very briefly at that. It's very unlikely that he will appear in a future book since he was so minor, but with one brief appearance, I don't think that qualifies for silver. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  17:29, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

True enough. -- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 17:58, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I might have to agree with Sky on this one... he was barely mentioned outside the allegiances... might be odd to have him as silver. insaneular   Talk  04:46, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I should have thought of that. :) Plus, don't we have a policy thing that says no cats only mentioned in the allegiances can be a silver?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 16:14, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it was a policy; it was more of a mutual agreement, but it's pretty much the same thing. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  18:15, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Fading Echoes Browse Inside Policy

 * Woohoo, Sandy gave me a link to the HarperCollins Browse inside for Fading Echoes! Here is the link if you guys want to read it. We'll be using the same spoiler policy as we did for TFA, since that worked quite well: we will only add spoilers from the Allegiances (until the book comes out), such as name changes. Nothing from the actual book. If you see people adding things from the book, then just remove them until the release. This is so people who don't want spoilers before it comes out won't get them unintentionally. Is this cool with everyone, any questions or concerns? (Note: Don't post any spoilers on talk pages or anything either; since some users could still stumble across them when they don't want to. Try and keep any discussion about the events of it to the IRC or other sites)  insaneular    Talk  21:40, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

I saw all the name changes to Blossompaw and Briarpaw and those cats and I was like, "WHAT?!!" I need to read the thing....-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 23:09, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

-facepalm- I'm an idiot! :(  Trout leap  23:11, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Nah, it was just a mistake Ice, don't feel bad :)  insaneular    Talk  23:12, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

A Clan in Need browse inside has also been released, but I think it will easier with not adding information to articles since it's a manga. But, we get to see Crowfeather in mini version^^. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  00:22, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I can't wait til they come out! Of course I'm completely broke at the moment but I get allwence today so. Plus: Crowkit+Leafkit+Squirrelkit=awww!-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:28, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Brindleclaw - Silver Nomination
Well, she has a description citation and a lot of history. Comments? Maplefern Carrying the torch... 23:45, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

She looks good to me. It could be a little more detailed but mothing much.

sorry, I"m SUPER stickler for complete content. She looks fine.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 23:55, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

She could be a tad detailed, I guess.  Trout leap  00:00, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that she could use a bit of a touch up in that area. Can someone who has CotC with them just quickly go over her and fill in a few more details? insaneular   Talk  04:46, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Aspentail - Silver Nomination
I don't see anything wrong with it really. Her description is cited, and I added a bit more to her history. Goldfall Meet me at the end of the rainbow! 08:33, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

She looks good.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:30, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Smokepaw/Smokefoot - One and the same
I was looking through the questions answered by Vicky on her facebook page and found something that claims these two cats are in fact the same. I'll post the important bits below.

User: ''why did you bring smokepaw back? he fall off a piece ice in the mountain and he came back? why...................?''

Another User: ''She answered this before. It was just a mistake.''

Vicky: ''At the book signing I did in the UK recently, a chap called Ryan brought me a manga book which he'd created himself called SMOKEFOOT'S DESTINY - all about Smokepaw's survival after falling down the mountain and his long trek to find his Clanmates by the Lake. So that's what must have happened! :)''

This confirms that Smokepaw is in fact Smokefoot, and not a separate cat... should we merge their pages? ✐S aN  dY  15:23, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I think so, but let's ask Insane before we do. Maplefern Carrying the torch... 15:33, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah,  Trout leap  15:36, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it would be unreasonable to move them. Does anyone else have any objections before we do so? insaneular   Talk  17:12, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

What about their descriptions being different? Which description do we use? Goldfall Meet me at the end of the rainbow! 08:15, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

I think we should keep black as his 'official' description, since that was it for much longer, but probably keep his individual chararts different colors (unless we make another version of him). And we can mention that in Dawn he was described as gray. insaneular   Talk  12:07, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Question
I've been noticing stuff on pages that relate to their family members. (IE on the Mousewhisker page it states that in the Fourth Apprentice, his brother, Berrynose had kits) Should I be removing those, or adding onto them? (Sorry if this question makes no sense... I just woke up. x3) <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 17:29, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

We often mention brief events pertaining to family members of the character, since they would probably be affected by it. It doesn't need to be very in-depth, but the fact that he now has a niece and nephew is worth mentioning. insaneular   Talk  17:30, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. =D One more question; I noticed on some page (I can't remember which one) that made a reference to the cat's old mentor getting a new apprentice... is that alright? <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 17:33, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

That's a bit too unrelated, you can feel free to take it down if you remember which page it was. insaneular   Talk  17:34, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Blizzardstar For silver Nomination
I think he has enough infromation intact and I couldn't find any problems. Comments?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:41, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I know I'm new to the project and probably shouldn't be saying this, but the Then Blizzardstar said to the leader of WindClan, "Hazelstar, our queens have spoken. Should we ignore them and fight?" bit doesn't seem right... wouldn't that belong in a Quotes section? <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;"> Shistar Mai Talk Page 18:44, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Good point. In some articles it gives small quotes but I don't know about this. We might have to ask the senior warriors.

And Shistar, just because your new doesn't mean that your opinion doesn't matter.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:48, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the quotes can go in any article providing they tell something about the character - eg. personality. I'll take a look at that bit. ✐S  aN  dY  19:35, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
