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^^. → Sky 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)

Okay. The book comes out in a few days, so we should start getting ready to update the pages! I'm getting it on release day, but not right after school like I did for TFA, so I'm sorry if I'm not able to help until later that night. Anyways, same drill as for TFA, as soon as the 23rd arrives, any spoilers are fair game, and first priority is probably adding history to the main characters, then cleaning up things such as the family sections and minor characters getting the alleg template. Just posting this so people who weren't here for TFA know what to expect, or just as a reminder ;)  insaneular    Talk  15:46, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

OMS! I completely forgot that it was coming out! I have 2 days! I can't wait! I'm going to be on here all day on Tuesday! After the hour it takes me to read FE.-- Artimas Hunter Warning! This user is reasonably insane! 16:13, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Just finished reading it. xD I'm going through and adding categories, the header, and the book title in the book appearances. If it has a coming soon template on it, it means they need information added, if not, then you'll see the alleg. template in place. I'll get to actually documenting the appearances tomorrow probably. → Sky feather  00:04, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

I just finished, and boy, it was GOOD! Anyways, I've already created pages for the new characters introduced (Wildfur, Snowtuft and Shredtail), but their histories are pretty brief now since it's late. I'll update them more tomorrow, along with StarClan, Place of No Stars, and any other characters I can get to. It's a shame I got it so late in the evening, or else I would have been able to do more today XD Also: I'm going to unprotect Molekit, Cherrykit, and Mistyfoot now (as well as move her to Mistystar) but I'd warn people to be wary of edits to those pages as they might get messed up by anons anway. insaneular   Talk  02:29, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Uh, can someone goes through Ivypaw's FE section and shorten it? I typed up just about all of her appearances and the article got kind of long... xD → Sky feather  19:10, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, since this seems to be kind of a task center now, I'll list the more major characters that still need history added:
 * Jayfeather
 * Lionblaze
 * Dovepaw
 * Tigerstar
 * Hawkfrost
 * Mistystar needs a quick cleanup
 * Firestar could use some expansion
 * Spottedleaf
 * Tigerheart
 * Cinderheart

Of course there's plenty more, but those are the most major ones, which are probably the highest priority and are also the biggest jobs. If you finish one of them feel free to delete it from the list or strike it :P  insaneular    Talk  21:56, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Since the hype has died down a bit, I'll probably archive this soon. We should still focus on adding histories though (I admit I've been slacking off in that regard, I only did Firestar, Tigerheart, Yellowfang, and Hawkfrost, and probably shabbily!)  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 00:55, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion Review
A recent deletion of an article has been contested. Can some admin please process it? Thanks, Helixtalk 05:38, April 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Er... what exactly do you mean, by "process it"?  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 13:48, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean un-delete it? Møųş ëţą  łő  ŉ!!  17:59, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

I mean that an admin should decide if he/she undeletes it or not, based on the issues raised there (kind of the reverse of an AfD). Helixtalk 18:16, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Sorreltail - Silver Nomination
I think that this article has everything it needs, and it is already Bronze, so it needs to be put to silver. ~Ec hos  tar  13:13, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

I think her history for a lot of books could be expanded considerably.  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 13:48, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. It still needs a lot of work. It is a fair article, but not yet silver status. Møųş ëţą  łő  ŉ!!  22:32, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Is this being worked on?  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 00:48, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Rising Moon - Silver Nomination
Well, she has all of her appearences and she has a pretty good sized article. I think she's ready. Comments?-- Moonbeam SkyClan will rise! 14:36, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

She needs expansion and citations. I'll work on the citations. Spottedhead Happy Easter! 20:00, April 3 2010 (UTC)

Citations are done. Spottedhead Happy Easter! 20:27, April 3 2010 (UTC)

Thakns, sorry I should have got that. :P -- Moonbeam SkyClan will rise! 13:53, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Looks good to me, concerns about it?  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 15:08, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

It looks good! This might sound a little picky, but could you add a sentence like : At first, Jaypaw thought she was the medicine cat, but soon found out she was a queen: or something? Otherwise, it's good.Snowstorm Deputy of LightClan! 17:49, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

No, that isn't neccesary for the article, in my opinion. Møųş ëţą  łő  ŉ!!  02:42, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

We could add something along the lines of 'she was one of the cats with knowledge about medicine' I'll go do that, other then that I think she's good.-- Moonbeam SkyClan will rise! 15:09, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't think there's anything else to add to this. ✐Sa  NdY  11:39, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Patchpelt - Silver Nomination
Wow, there are a lot of good articles here :). Mentor, Apprentice, family and description are cited, and he has a lot of history. →  •Maple  fern•  ←  14:49, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

I think his history could possibly be expanded.. esp Fire and Ice. If he is a minor character in the book then we need to jot down every appearance he has, however brief. ✐Sa NdY  15:00, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, i think he had at least a few more appearances in the original series.  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 15:08, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with sandy and insane. It could be expanded. Thats my only problem with the article. Otherwise, its good!Snowstorm Deputy of LightClan! 16:55, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Is anyone working on this?  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 00:48, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hawkfrost - Silver Nomination
He has a good sized article and (I believe) all of his cites and refs. His FE section in particular is quite good. Comments?-- Moonbeam SkyClan will rise! 15:53, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

I'llk have to check it out, but remember to check before nominating next time. Møųş ëţą  łő  ŉ!!  22:30, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

A few of the sections could use a lot of expansion. I would go through all the books in general, though, just to make sure everything is documented. Skyfeather 16:09, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

New Content Drive
Alright, Cinderpelt's died out a bit, I admit I ignored it pretty much until I did a small cleanup, but all in all, she is greatly improved from her demoted-from-gold status she had before the drive :) Anyways, people didn't suggest anything above, so I'm guessing you didn't see me commenting below all the talk already there. So here's a snazzy new section to suggest the next Content Drive! I'm tempted to do "Adding history for all characters from FE" but when we tried that for TFA it didn't really work out ;) Although the project was much less active then. Anyways, I'll shut up now so you can voice your opinions on who you want to overhaul next.  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 00:55, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm new to this content drive stuff, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong, but I think we should do Firestar- after all, his page is in need of improvements. :)

Also, what's with the font? Things are REALLY hard to read for me... Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 01:01, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

I think Firestar might be good, seeing as he really needs improvement- he wouldn't be silver under the current standards. I'm not sure what you mean about the font, it looks the same to me. Perhaps it's your computer?  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 01:02, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

This is off the subject, but why is all the lettering bold? Can someone fix it? Nightfall Silverpelt looks beautiful! 01:03, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

This is what I mean. (Feel free to delete this image once you see. =3) Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 01:05, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * err, that's odd. It's not happening to me. I'm wondering if it has something to do with Mouse's siggy, since it has the same font (Impact), but I checked and all the span tags are closed... I really don't know. Hopefully it will resolve itself :(  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 01:07, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

It's not happening to me either. I think Firestar needs a lot of work so we should definitely fix that up-- N i g h t s h i n e    {   01:18, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. Firestar might be good. And yes, it happened to me to. Surprisingly right after Mouse's sig. Willow★ Do you want fries with that? 01:25, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

I would like to nominate Mistystar. She has gotten more popular following the release of FE, and I think she needs more work than Firestar at the moment. Skyfeather 01:28, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Mistystar would be good, as well. :)

Off topic; I replaced Mouse's sig above with a link to her userpage... sorry, Mousetalon, but the font was really hard on my eyes.

Mistystar is fine with me. We could do Firestar some other time Nightfall Silverpelt looks beautiful! 06:16, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Splashnose, Fallowkit and Driftkit - Silver Nomination
Since they're all related, and all three of their pages look all snazzy and good, I'd like to nominate them. :) <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;">Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 01:27, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Its very good, but there's abrely enough to make a paragraph on Splashnose's page. :) Good idea though :) Fawnstorm  This is one battle Tigerstar will not win... 14:51, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Fallowkit is actually Silver already but as for Driftkit and Splashnose, I think they could be a tad more detailed; since they're so minor, we should squeeze all we can out of their short appearance :)  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 00:48, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Whoops, fail on my part. xD As for the other two, I'll re-read COTC tomorrow- it's getting rather late where I live. :) <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;">Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 00:59, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

More history could be added and they could be more detailed. Ice Spring is here! 01:05, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Okies, I'm on that now. ^_^ <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;"> Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 12:55, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Cats with No Names
Hey, guys. I was reading through the warriors series, when I realized that there are tons of cats with descriptions, but no names. These cats are pretty minor, but they play slightly signifigant parts. I was wondering if we should make articles for them. I admit, it would be difficult naming the article, but we've got their descriptions and we could even make chararts for them. Like in Firestar's Quest, when Firestar was having that really vivid dream about SkyClan trying to find a place to settle, he saw a queen and her kits. It tells that the queen is a beautiful gray she-cat with green eyes, one of her kits is a tabby, and the other is a tortoiseshell. I don't know I mean, they play just as big parts as Fernleaf and Buzzardkit, I think they deserve articles. What do you guys think? Nightfall Silverpelt looks beautiful! 22:09, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

The thing is, we don't have a way of naming the articles. If the only reason of putting them up is for chararts, it's really not worth the effort. If they were significant, their names would have mentioned. Skyfeather 23:16, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Sky. Most of them really aren't that significan't anyways and could be mentioned in other characters' articles. Plus, there is the issue of naming, we'd end up with names like "Gray tabby Queen" or "Unnamed She-kit" that would be really confusing. I think it's best to just leave them alone.  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 00:37, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

I figured. However Sky, the purpose wasn't just for chararts. I just thought that they should have articles since they are still part of the Warriors World. However, I realize that the naming issue would be too great; so I understand :) Nightfall Silverpelt looks beautiful! 03:01, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

We could list them in an article like "Minor Characters in Firestar's Quest" or similar, instead of making separate articles for each. This also goes for such once-mentioned characters like Foxy or Scree. Helixtalk 16:07, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

It could be possible to find some of there names by looking in the Allegiances, couldn't it? If they aren't listed there, then maybe the book after that? It may be possible that the character telling the story didn't know their names, but they could still have been listed, right?<font color="#00FF00" face="Tempus Sans ITC" style="background:black">Hollytail Lion x Heather 4ever! 01:45, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Graymist - Silver Nomination
I looked her over, added more history and fixed a couple of things, and she looks fine to me. Comments? Ice Spring is here! 01:17, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but her apperances in Dark River could be expanded. Its very good though for a minor character. Γǻώή ςτόŗm  09:33, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

I filled out her history for everything except OTS series - someone else will need to check over that - and filled in the missing citations. ✐Sa NdY  15:53, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Foxleap-Silver Nomination
His article is a good size. I haven't read FE so I don't know what happens. I was wondering if someone could sort that out? Γǻώή ςτόŗm  11:50, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Haha, I haven't even read Long Shadows yet, but think that's actually all of his appearances. Not sure though. x3

I'll look for the "Foxcatcher" quote in Eclipse and a few others if you'd like, but the article looks pretty good in my opinion. ^_^ <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;">Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 11:54, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

hmm... I filled out the history; there were a fair few things that could be expanded to make his article fuller - and added a coule of quotes. There were also some citations missing... I got all of them except one for him having green eyes - if anyone else can find it, that would be good. ✐Sa NdY  15:29, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Forgot to mention... I didn't do TFA or FE sections so perhaps someone else can have a look over them? ✐Sa NdY  15:37, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

I think some of the sections could be expanded just a bit more. He and Icecloud are very similiar, and I was able to add a lot to her article. Skyfeather 20:47, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Whiteclaw - Silver Nomination
My first nomination^-^ I went through his article, and he looks good to me. -- Ŧ ∆ ķ მ ♰ § Ʊ ო Σ          ö 16:28, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Voting
I noticed this in the last two silver nominations, and I'm saying this now so it does not become an issue. Recently, there have been a few 'nay' votes in the voting process, and while we welcome your opinion being said, we are trying to avoid any nay votes. Thus, the reason for the whole nomination process. Instead of waiting until the vote goes up, please voice any objections you have beforehand so we can fix it and prevent any red votes. I can understand being neutral from time to time, but we really need to avoid any no votes. Skyfeather 20:54, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

I'm really sorry about voting nay... I'm not going to get into trouble, am I? D=

From now on, I'll pay attention to the pre-nomination process, and carefully check over the pages... <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;">Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 21:01, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Of course you're not in trouble; I'd just like to see those votes avoided. Skyfeather 21:05, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Scourge - Gold Nomination
Okay, I'm UBER sorry If I'm not allowed to nominate gold, but I have looked over Scourge's page many times, added references to nearly everything (Past names, Past Clans, Descriptions... etc), added quotes, and yeah.

And it's been featured on the front page, which I know is a requirement. ^_^

So... is Scourge ready for gold or am I just being an epic fail by bringing this up? ^^ <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;"> Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 12:54, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Sparrowpelt --Silver Nomination
I think Sparrowpelt's article is ready for Silver. I went over his citations and history. → •Maple  fern•  ←  12:55, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

He looks great :) Ah, I remember back in the day... Sparrowpelt was involved in the most unfortunate silver vote ever. He wasn't a bad article, it was just such a sad time for the project... though not as sad as when it was completely inactive, of course! Ah, well, I'll stop rambling, I don't see anything wrong with his page. Although I think we might need to fiddle with the format for the Warrior ceremony sections, that shouldn't stop his individual page  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 13:01, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, I see nothing wrong with him. ^_^ <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;">Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 13:03, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

No objections from me. He looks excellent, Maple. Skyfeather 13:10, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yet another Question...
Ah, you're all probably very annoyed with all my questions by now, but since I'm working to get Scourge gold, I realized now that his history is a mix of past tense and present tense. But which one should be used for history? <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;">Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 13:01, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Generally, the articles stay in present tense, but I know we get a few that are past. It isn't written down, but I think the overall rule is that articles are in present tense. I've always done them like that. Skyfeather 13:04, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I'll fix up Scourge's history now. Thanks! =D <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:blue; background:black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Gray;"> Vaan "So, Fran... how old are you?" 13:05, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
