Warriors Wiki talk:Books

A Vision of Shadows
So everyone keeps trying to add what they think the book order is, but do we have any concrete proof that it does in fact go in the following order:
 * The Apprentice's Quest -> Thunder and Shadow -> Shattered Sky -> Darkest Night ????

Because we do have Hawkwing's Journey and now Tigerheart's Shadow to worry about... the blurb for Tigerheart's book clearly states it's after something with Darktail, so we can rule out it being before TAQ, TAS, and HJ... but where the heck does Hawkwing's story fit into this timeline? While the main part of the book appears to take place before TAQ, there's also this... extremely heavily implied thing with Pebbleshine and Hawkwing. Which we'll find out the answer to that soon enough, so should we just hold off (still) on adding the order until we get the next couple books??

Well, I say we wait on the Tigerheart book at least until it's released, since it could be after either SS or DN, so...
 * It might be worth noting that TF pretty much completely overlaps the events of Rising Storm, yet we placed it previous to it, since it started just a few days before. I think the same might apply to HJ - while some events do happen after TAQ & TAS, it starts before both and could be placed that way.

Well, I definitely think we should leave Shattered Sky and Darkest Night alone at least, with Tigerheart's Shadow in mind. We have no idea whether it's during them or between them or after them... As for the Hawkwing book, I think we can say it starts before TAQ since SkyClan had already been driven out then (and then you have that Pebbleshine thing). If it's just based on when the book started, HJ should definitely go first, but if not we should wait until the two timelines (TAQ/TAS and then HJ) merge. 21:55, February 16, 2017 (UTC)

I agree with Ivy, that we should for sure leave Shattered Sky and Darkest Night. I think HJ should be added as before TAQ, since it clearly does start before, but at the book takes place over the span of like, 2 years... 15:14 Sat Feb 18

Does anyone here think asking Kate might be a good idea? She's writing Tigerheart's Shadow, after all. She may have an idea as to the proper book order here. While I'm okay with adding Hawkwing's Journey before The Apprentice's Quest, Maple brings up a good point about how much time it spans... at least when Bluestar's Prophecy was out, the amount of time it spans really wasn't an issue.

I think asking Kate is a good idea....however vague the response may be. 18:49, February 19, 2017 (UTC)

Well, it's not like we'd be asking for spoilers or anything. We do need to know for the timeline and our articles. She used to be able to help if she could when it came to that...as long as people aren't asking because they want spoilers; that's a huge pet peeve and puts us in a bad light.

Oh yes, I do understand. So would we be allowed to ask that it's for the Wiki article *in this case, or...

and I do think she might not know which is why it would be vague. But that's just my speculation, this has no backing. 18:54, February 19, 2017 (UTC)

I think asking Kate would be a good idea. The only thing it could end up spoiling is that it might prove that the theory about Hawkwing and Pebbleshine isn't likely to be true, if HJ takes place a long time before TAQ. 22:38 Sun Feb 19

So...can this be done?

It's been a week, so I'm just bumping this.

I guess we can go ask Kate, then, seeing as a week's passed and everyone who's commented is in favor of asking her, provided it's phrased correctly.

Did anyone ask her? 17:06, March 19, 2017 (UTC)

As far as I know, no. If someone wants to, though, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been insanely busy with work and other stuff that I just haven't had the time.

Deputy
I owe an apology to all of you guys for not picking a deputy for so long and then disappearing off the wiki. Well it took a long time and my choices were really hard but I ended up picking the new deputy and it's Ivybreeze. So, good luck Ivy, and I appreciate every single one of you for keeping this project running while I was gone. 21:44, March 12, 2017 (UTC)

A Dangerous Path/Chapter 12 ~ Silver Nomination

 * Snowkit (TPB) is missing from the mentioned character list
 * Many parts in the summary are in past tense - try and change those. Most of those parts are with the words 'were' or 'was', when they shouldn't be.

Tallstar is missing from the mentioned characters list.

Re-ups -- 22:07, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

Nice job. Maybe break this sentence: "Tigerstar disagrees and tells them they must stay with their mother for now and then he questions Darkstripe on when his kits will be apprentices and the dark tom says that they will in a moon or so. " into 2 sentences? Also, Goldenflower and Graypool should be on the mentioned list, and Stonefur and Mistyfoot should be on the mentioned list unnamed. 16:38 Sat Mar 18

Dovewing's Silence/Chapter 5 ~ Silver Nomination
Nice job. CBV? 02:17, March 20, 2017 (UTC)

 * In most of the paragraphs, there's a few run-ons that could be fixed throughout the summary.
 * Fireheart is redundant in paragraphs 1, 3, 4, 6-through the last paragraph. Also, there's several instances of Onewhisker and Tallstar being redundant too - try swapping those with 'WindClan warrior' or 'black-and-white tom' or something like that for those two.
 * From the summary, it seems that Swiftpaw and Cloudpaw were only mentioned, not appearing, which wouldn't make them part of the minor character list. I could be completely wrong, and if so, just ignore this.

I'm not part of this, but hi fox. Anyways, you changed some of the repetitive Firestar's to "the ginger deputy" and some to "the ginger warrior." Wouldn't they all be deputy? Or you could use a different word. 21:59, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

Changed it to The ThunderClan deputy --  22:09, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

Fireheart is still pretty redundant in the sixth paragraph. 02:17, March 20, 2017 (UTC)

Bluestar's Prophecy/Chapter 16 - Silver Nomination
13:25, March 18, 2017 (UTC)

I may be wrong but in the Important Events section, shouldn't it be Bluefur and Snowfur's warrior ceremony instead of just Bluefur? --  14:10, March 18, 2017 (UTC)

Updated. The ceremony shown is almost all about Bluefur, but idk. 00:06, March 19, 2017 (UTC)

Reserving Suggestion
I'm pretty sure this'll get rejected but I was thinking, PCA has a reservation table for chararts people want to work on, so shouldn't PB have a reservation table of books, cliffnotes, and subpages PB members claim to work on? There's no simplified easy way to tell who's working on what before they post the nomination (besides wiki activity) so I think a reservation table could help. Same for PC and the other projects but that can be brought up there if it gets through here. What do you guys think? --  02:19, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
