Warriors Wiki talk:Books

Russian Cover
So there's this russian cover that's for both Into the Wild and Fire and Ice. Does it go on both gallery pages? Sorry that I'm so lost and don't know lol

If it's used for both books, then I would think it should be displayed on both pages, with some kind of note saying it's for both Into the Wild and Fire and Ice.

But there are lots of books like that that combine all the books in one of the series or something and they don't get covers? imo I think it shouldn't be in the gallery, but that's just what I think. 14:24 Fri May 6

Idk, I think it needs to go somewhere but I don't know where. I'm gonna go look into if there are any other ITW and FAI combos, to see if we could look into a section somewhere or something.

It could possibly go in the box set page. 17:43, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

There is a German combo too. And I think putting it in the box set is a good idea, and it could go in the book's publication history too. 18:00 Fri May 6

So what are we doing with this? Box set and publication page? 18:02, May 15, 2016 (UTC)

Comments? 01:09, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

I think that box set and publication history sounds good. 02:16 Sun May 22

So we're in agreement that the russian cover should go on the box set page, and it should go into both books' publication history? 13:57, June 4, 2016 (UTC)

Poking this again. 03:59, June 12, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be any issues with adding it, but since it is for two different books, I still think it should go in the gallery. If there are other combination ones that aren't added, then they probably should be, as it's still technically a cover for each respective book.

The Apprentice's Quest - Silver Nomination
Right, should I add the bonus scene as a section? It's only included in B&N books, but I do think it needs a section the page as all DOTC books have them. 14:43, June 10, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah I think you should add it, since it is part of the story

Yes I'm still working, I just lost my copy of TAQ and can't find the PDF online so I just ordered it and it should be here within a few days. 14:27, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

Does anyone have a PDF for this? 05:39, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

I do. I can send it to you via Skype, but there is only Chapter 1 of Thunder and Shadow. No TAQ bonus scene. Jaysnow (talk) 05:45, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

Blurbs
hi nerds. I was stalking and I'm kinda curious. Is there a reason we don't cite the blurbs for unreleased novels, such as Thunder and Shadow, Hawkwing's Journey, and other new and upcoming items? We cite everything else on the page, so wouldn't citing something as important as that be something we should start doing? I could see not citing the ones for books that've already been released, since all you'd have to do is check the back (or insert if you have a hardcover) of your books... but for new ones? I think it might be good to start citing them...since they've been changed and updated on an average of at least two or three times before the official book release.

Yeah I definitely agree, the blurbs should have cites.Tbh, I'm actually surprised that the wiki doesn't cite them already. 04:33 Thu Jun 16

May as well, since we cite everything else on the page

Is this agreed that we cite the blurbs? 06:19, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

The Ultimate Guide/Half Moon Speaks ~ Silver Nomination
Haven't done anything for PB in a while. Comments?

Comments before vote? 01:33, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

I'm really sorry about interrupting the CBV, but maybe link 'the territories' (between Highstones...) in the 1st paragraph as 'The Forest Territories'? Also, could you link 'a lake' (also in the 1st paragraph) to either The Lake or The Lake Territories? In the second paragraph, could you link 'river' as 'River Chell'? 08:56 Thu Jul 21

Comments?

Comments before vote? 01:33, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Again, I am sorry about interrupting your CBV, Spooky, but 2 things:


 * In the 1st paragraph, it says 'she thinks of how easily her mother could catch one'. Maybe link 'Windstar' as 'her mother' instead of as 'Wind Runner' in the following paragraph.


 * In the 3rd paragraph, "He looks at her fondly, and says he'll eat the toad, fretting at how she hadn't eaten much of it and invites her to eat more, commenting that a full belly will keep her warm." Could you split this sentence in two? It seems a bit long, and might be a run-on. 09:04 Thu Jul 21

Sunset/Chapter 18 ~ Silver Nomination
It's been such a long time since I've done anything for PB... anyway, no one's working on it, and it seems okay for a nominaton. Comments? 13:41, July 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * In the seventh and eighth paragraphs, could you perhaps use "He" a little less? It seems slightly redundant. The first sentence of the 7th paragraph could also be split in two.
 * Can you add cites for the rest of the character list? Half of them of them are showing up as blank source cites.
 * Is there a quote you can add?

Updated Is this any better? 22:35, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

Looks good, but there's still one character without a cite down near the bottom

Updated Done. Also, converted Leafpool to a mentioned character, since she's pretty much only mentioned. 01:48, July 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * In the I think 4th paragraph, " Hawkfrost looks at him, waiting to respond, and he murmurs something. It says he didn't want to agree to anything until he had time to think it through." I'm a bit confused on who 'it' is.
 * In the 6th paragraph, maybe link 'Brambleclaw's Territory' as ThunderClan or The_Lake_Territories. And can you link 'ShadowClan territory' (same paragraph) as ShadowClan or The_Lake_Territories
 * In the 6th paragraph, " Hawkfrost confirms that Brambleclaw won't forget the meeting, and he assures his half-brother he won't." Could you reword this, I'm a bit confused on if both brothers are promising that they won't forget, or if Hawkfrost is asking Brambleclaw if he won't forget, etc.
 * In the 7th paragraph, "Brambleclaw says thanks, then says he'd be loyal to his Clan as long as he had enough breath to fight." 'says' in the paragraph twice sounds redundant, maybe have it be like 'Brambleclaw thanks her, ...'
 * In the last paragraph, 'tease' is a bit redundant. 08:25 Sat Jul 23

Updated Okay, any more comments? My baby is growing up :D Well, more like adopted. 12:45, July 23, 2016 (UTC)

Twilight/Chapter 7 - Silver Nomination
01:32, July 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * In the beginning, there are some "choppy" sentences where 'she' is also redundant.
 * In the 3rd paragraph, "Squirrelflight thinks that she would like to be his mentor, but guesses she needs to think before she does something " I think it would be better if it was 'but she guesses she needs to think before acting'.
 * Also in the 3rd, "She feels a rush of admiration for the tom..." Could you say 'tom-kit' so that it is more clear that it is Birchfall? At first I thought it was talking about Dustpelt. 08:36 Sat Jul 23

Updated 04:58, July 24, 2016 (UTC)

Crookedstar's Promise/Chapter 7 - Silver Nomination
Comments? 22:02, July 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * In the 3rd paragraph, 'Crookedkit' is a bit redundant.
 * In the 2nd-to-last paragraph, When she learns that he is a Clan cat, Mitzi queries as to why he has come here, as there have not been warriors there for a long time. Could you maybe say something like, 'warriors haven't came to the barn for a long time'? I was a bit confused when I read it the first time.
 * In the next sentence, Fleck explains that he has come alone, in search of the Moonstone, and assures the black she-cat that Crookedkit is not a danger to them. You don't have to if you disagree, but could you say 'the Clan cat' or 'the tabby' or something instead of 'he'? When I read the sentence at first I thought Fleck was talking about himself. But that might just be me, you don't have to change it if you disagree.
 * Maybe link 'cough' as Diseases_and_Injuries? 14:28 Thu Jul 28

Forest of Secrets/Chapter 14 ~ Silver Nomination
Back at it :) -- 01:07, July 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Is there a quote you can add?
 * Could you perhaps clarify the first and last sentences of paragraph three? They're a bit confusing at first read.
 * Could you fix some fragments in paragraphs 8, 10, and 11?

Fixed --  18:06, July 25, 2016 (UTC)

Forest of Secrets/Chapter 15 ~ Silver Nomination
^..^
 * In the first paragraph, "Fireheart snarls that they'll put him right unless he wants his ear torn." I thought Longtail's ear was already torn? Is it supposed to be 'wants his other ear torn'?
 * In the 2nd-to-last, "The gray she-cat's eyes glow from the praise" It is clear that it is talking about Cinderpaw, but both she and Yellowfang are gray. Perhaps say 'the young she-cat', 'the gray apprentice', etc. instead?
 * In the last paragraph, "The white kit isn't there, but the ginger warrior finds the kit listening" 'Kit' sounds redundant. 14:39 Thu Jul 28

Hollyleaf's Story - Timeline
According to Hollyleaf's Story main page, it takes place between Long Shadows and Sunrise timeline wise. I don't think this is correct for two reasons. One: the story begins when the tunnel collapses onto Hollyleaf, not when she killed Ashfur. The tunnel collapse happens towards the end of Sunrise. Two: Hollyleaf's Story is a part of the Omen of the Stars arc. I think it makes more sense that it's closer to the arc than where it is now, at least after Sunrise.

Where it belongs exactly, I am not 100% sure. It does stretch along the first 5 books of Omen of the Stars, and it ends just over halfway through The Forgotten Warrior. We could give it an average placement of the time Hollyleaf spent in the tunnels (between Mistystar's Omen and Night Whispers) have it just after Sunrise or before/after The Forgotten Warrior. I think those are the best options to discuss about.Stealth f🔥re ❤Warriors Forever!❤  06:38, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

I think that may have been my error. Technically, the main story itself starts after Sunrise, not Long Shadows. I made a mistake and everyone latched onto it, and I wasn't able to correct the error.

Forest of Secrets/Chapter 20 ~ Silver Nomination
Still a lot to do with Forest of Secrets subpages. Sigh. -- 20:59, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

Um, can you add character lists? There aren't any at all.

Um...this may sound annoying but I don't know how to do them...-- 21:11, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

This should explain how to do them, if you just use the same source code, add the characters and refs and blah. You may as well learn, as they are required.

Fixed -- 21:33, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

There's many cats missing from the character lists such as: Mistyfoot, Stonefur, Graypool, Sandstorm, Willowpelt, Runningwind, Whitestorm, Dustpelt, Brackenpaw, Nightstar, Stumpytail, Wetfoot, Onewhisker, Cinderfur, Deadfoot, Darkstripe, Mousefur, and Longtail. Can you add these?

Fixed -- 01:18, July 27, 2016 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all your character list cites go from page 109-113, but the chapter is from pages 202-211. Wouldn't that mean the cites are all incorrect?

I'm using an online pdf of the book to write it in. I checked and 109-113 are the number of the pages...or the doc pages. Argh. -- 17:29, July 27, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't have the actual book atm only a pdf. I might be able to go to the library though...-- 00:41, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Can you go through and cite the character lists to 'chapter 9' then? It's incorrect and misleading to leave them as they are.

Forest of Secrets/Chapter 22 ~ Silver Nomination

Could you cut down on the redundancy of 'Brackenpaw' in the second to last paragraph? And also, there's some fragments in paragraph three and Gathering isn't capitalized in the third to last paragraph.
