Content Drive
Since Mudclaw (WC), apart from TUG and Starlight, has a filled out history, and most of the problems the article had before had been fixed, such as quotes and history, and since I'm close to nominating him at this point, I think we should have a new Content Drive - and I have a new idea, as well.

-Singular cat; For this one, I choose Sharpclaw (SC) - his history needs lots of expansion, and more quotes could be used. He's in a similar state Mudclaw was in before his article became CD.

-Multiple cats; Skye suggested this earlier, and they thought of SkyClan in general, since most of the cats' history needs work.

What do you all think? 20:49, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

Hm, what about a cat that's already silver but needs loads of work. Sandstorm would be a prime example of this, she's extremely major but yet her history is pitifully short in most sections. I don't really like the idea of doing multiple cats, because honestly it would be a hassle to keep track of and project members would have to go through a total of 111 articles and expand them. With the project's current size, I think it would be an enormous task to undertake, especially with already approved ideas in other projects that need tons of work (such as Chapter Subpages, and soon the Events Pages). I think it would be an unneeded hassle at this point. But, to me, Sandstorm and Sharpclaw are the forerunners for the next Content Drive. 23:26, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

iirc i don't think Skye meant all of them - just the ones that are on PC's front page ^^;; 18:54, August 17, 2014 (UTC)

I did mean the ones listed on the front page, since they appear to be in the greatest need of work. Why only one character, when someone can easily get that done in a couple days if they're feeling up to it? I think perhaps having a couple as content drives would be a good idea. Perhaps Sharpclaw, Harveymoon, and Waspwhisker? There's one fairly major SkyClan cat, and two more minor ones. I never said to do all of them- that would be madness, even by my standards, but perhaps pick a couple and shift the focus. Or, maybe pick more than one cat, so... say, Sandstorm, Sharpclaw, and Owl Eyes? And you wouldn't have to go through all 111 articles. A fair bit of them are already fairly good (I've written quite a few of them myself), and you could pick out the top two or three that are in need of the most work.

I agree with Sharpclaw being one. I have SkyClan's Destiny, so I can help out with that part of it, which goes for any SC cat. 12:59 AM, Fri Aug 22, 2014

Multiple articles are interesting, but I'm more peaked at the idea of having an article already silver being the content drive. There's already an incentive for Sharpclaw, Harveymoon, and Waspwhisker because they're still bronze. Yet, focusing on a character that needs work that is already silver gives a bit of incentive in completing the content drive. 04:31, August 22, 2014 (UTC)

Even with only three articles, I think it would be daunting to other users and still hard to do. 18:07, August 23, 2014 (UTC)

Two of those three cats are rather minor and wouldn't take long for them to be expanded, especially in Harveymoon's case. If we're doing singular cats, though, Sharpclaw still stands as my choice. (trying to get more attention for this.) 01:28, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Switch Template for certain characters
Sup guys anyway I'm thinking that some of the characters from BS might need the templates that Mapleshade and Brackenfur use. Some of these characters have only been in TLH and BS so far such as Heronwing, and so they've had two different descriptons for two different books, and we use that template for those that are about even in being described with two different descriptons, don't we? What do you think? (Descriptions can be found here along with the changes that happened in BS) 01:01, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

I'd say if they're described in the book with a different description then sure use that template, but if one of the authors only said their description once go with the book's description and the other as an alt. 02:42, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

Hootpaw - Silver Nomination
All hail Hootpaw our lord and savior. Page numbers will come once I get my hardbound copy. He doesn't appear anymore outside of the patrol encounter, and his quote is all he has, speaking-wise. He's a sassy little furball.

Could you make the article flow a bit more by taking out/combining some of the simple sentences and making them into compound/complex/compound-complex so it's not so stiff to read. 02:12, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

I just rewrote the entire thing after realizing how rushed that was.

Hollypaw (BS) - Silver Nomination
Okay I'm done now lol. I'm so glad she's named after one of my favorites. Everything's cited and stuff, although I'm slightly hesitant on the "cousins" part of the family list... if I'm missing some, please tell me.

Could you just get rid of the "first mentioned" phrasing? 02:17, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Idk, I tried to do something with it, since her being named after Hollyleaf and looking exactly like her is mentioned in universe and stuff.

If possible, could you please put the specific manga page numbers? 03:10, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Done, and I'll put the actual page numbers in the book, but the "manga" doesn't have page numbers. So, you'll have to do a bit of counting after the normal book ends, but there is nothing wrong with that.

Slightpaw - Silver Nomination
love 'dem names. Comments? sorry if a few things are off I'm workign from the browse inside here. 22:35, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

forgot to say that he doesn't say anything, so there's no quotes 22:26, August 29, 2014 (UTC)

Could you clue in some context/background clues, like who Jessy is? Oh, and get rid of the "is seen" phrasing. 02:19, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

done 02:39, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Shimmerpelt (BS) - Silver Nomination
I've always loved this name. Comments? 22:36, August 28, 2014 (UTC)

forgot to say the one thing she does say is very irrelivant, so no good quotes for her either 22:26, August 29, 2014 (UTC)

Idk....just key in on the maybe the timeline that this is after the battle with the Dark Forest so the audience knows what battle they survived from. 02:22, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

okay, done, but it was the flood they had survived from 16:35, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, Erins. She only appears once in-story. Comments? 03:01, August 29, 2014 (UTC)

Polly - Silver Nomination
She never actually appears, she's just mentioned. Comments? 16:50, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Parsnip ~ Silver Nomination
I believe that this is as much as he's mentioned. I couldn't find any quotes at all to describe his personality, really. 17:52, August 30, 2014 (UTC)

Could you put the specific page numbers for the cites instead of just the chapter number? 03:08, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry but my kindle isn't showing the page number - could somebody do it for me, please? 08:48, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Done. I added those and meant to add the page numbers the other day, and I totally forgot. Apologies, Sorrel. ^^

That's okay - and thank you! 17:04, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Brandy - Silver Nomination
This is my first PC nomination, so please forgive me if I messed up. Anyway, Brandy was only mentioned twice, so no good quotes. Comments? 22:24, August 31, 2014 (UTC)
