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 with a 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.

Gar, I kept putting her off, sorry! I'm doing a run-over of her history now. But I don't have my books, so it's more of a general touch-up than adding content. insaneular   Talk  20:02, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

All right, I cleaned up her history a fair bit (It was horribly messy!) but I still think she needs a bit more history added for TNP, with more individual appearances listed rather than generalization. The only book of TNP she's okay for is Starlight, since I have read that a bunch of times and could remember when she appeared. Also, if anyone sees mistakes I made about what she did, feel free to correct them; I was working completely from memory. insaneular   Talk  21:12, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Nice job Insane, I was looking at my home and it was like

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)

I went ahead and did all of New Prophecy and half of Power of Three, since I had planned on working on him later anyway. You might want to check over the Original Series and the other three in Power of Three, though, I just covered the ones that needed desperate help. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  23:30, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Nah, Sky. You can stop now, I'll do the rest. Thanks for your help, though. Icy Invading the fire 22:42, March 10, 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)

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)

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)

Spottedleaf- Silver Nomination
Spottedleaf has her appearnces in order and I saw nothing worng. She good?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:30, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

She needs a citation for Thrushpelt being her mentor, and I think her history could be expanded a fair bit, most notably for Into the Wild. Considering it's one of only two books where we see her alive, I think it should be more detailed. All the info that's listed now is pretty much what you'd find in a plot summary about her. insaneular   Talk  20:18, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

I'll exapand it some, thanks Insane.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 21:48, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Is someone working on her history? insaneular   Talk  20:02, March 15, 2010 (UTC) Sorry, I've been busy. I worked some on her BP history, I'll get on the ItW part. Sorry, :P -- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 19:27, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I expandfed it a bit, is it good?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 21:16, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I still think it needs a lot of work. In some of the sections she has only one line when it should be several sentences at least. Plus, the writing style is off. It need to be in present tense, not past. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  18:46, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Sky, can we take this down and post it back when she's ready? It sounds like a lot of work and I don't have much free time so t might take a while. :( sorry.-- Artimas Hunter Warning! This user is reasonably insane! 20:02, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Marshkit - Silver Nomination
All of Marshkits points have been forfilled. Should this article have a higher nomination? Clara My Talk Page 16:11, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

I think you mean silver. Anyway, We'll need a description citation, and page numbers for his family. Maplefern Carrying the torch... 16:14, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hey guys? When did it say he was a brown tabby? I haven't read the New Prophecy series in a while, but I don't remember it ever saying what color he was Goldfall Meet me at the end of the rainbow! 08:01, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Right. Im going to check the books he was in. Clara My Talk Page 09:22, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Fixed the title so it would be easier to read and get to the article. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  19:45, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Leopardfoot- Silver Nominee
Well, I checked her and she has her infromation intact with all appearences and detail.s A good sized article too. If there are references that need to be done I"m going to try them becayse I need some practice. Comments?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 23:50, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

She needs a citation for Robinwing being her mentor. insaneular   Talk  23:51, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

I did that, not sure if its right but I think its good. sorry, I stink at this. :( -- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 00:05, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Err, the reflist template is just to list the citations at the bottom, not for the citations themselves. If you need help with citations maybe my tutorial can help...? insaneular   Talk  00:13, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I am such a mouse brain! Ok, thanks I used your tutorial (thank you!) and I think I got it right! (For real this time) :) -- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 00:51, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Feature Article Nominations - April '10
I'm not sure how this works but I think Sasha should be the next featured article. She has amazing content for such a minor charecter and I will work on her in the NP appearences. Her manga appearences are huge! Sorry, I don't really know how this works so if I"m doing this wrong or at the wrong time (probably one of the 2!) please tell me.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 21:30, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, actually, I was about to open FA nominations for April XD I changed the section title so people could nominate others if they want, but I think Sasha wouldn't be bad. Although there are lots of other characters that would work well too- we have so many silver graded articles now, it's tough to choose! I'll leave this up to the rest of you, what do other people think of Sahsa (or other suggestions?)  insaneular    Talk  22:06, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Insane! :) Well, I think Sasha is good because she has a ton of infromation (definatly in the mangas!) and she was minor but not minor enough that she doesn't qualify for this honor. And (I don't think we count this) she has all her art done and (we do count this :) ) her references are in order.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 22:14, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Leafpool, maybe? Or Must or Star? Just a few ideas... Maplefern Carrying the torch... 22:26, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Leafpool could work, if we do a quick clean-up of her history (she was made silver a loooong time ago so it's not exactly the same as our current standards). I'd rather not do such a minor character as Mist or Star, although they're fine for silver, it seems pointless to feature them when they affected the plot so little. No offense to them. XD  insaneular    Talk  22:33, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. What sections on Leafpool need the most expanding? I could get to work on her. Maplefern Carrying the torch... 23:08, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

What about Tallstar? We have a main character up now and haven't had a leader in a while. Plus, I just did all of his history so he's pretty much ready. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  23:53, March 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * He's technically not silver yet, but he would be (unless everyone voted no ;D) when the next feature article went up. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  23:55, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Lol, it's fine Sky, I trust that he will make it to silver. To Maple: She isn't lacking in any specific section, she just needs a bit of a general cleanup, rewording confusing parts and removing unnecessary details, stuff like that. I think any of those three would be great FAs, so others, just voice your opinion of who you want, don't be afraid :)  insaneular    Talk  23:59, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Unnecessary Descriptions
Alright, this isn't a huge issue, just something I wanted to point out. In the character's description at the top of the page, it should be a simple description of the cat, almost word-for-word of what is in the allegiances, unless they have additional features that aren't listed in the allegiances of course. There is no need to say that Firestar is dark orange, bright ginger, AND flame colored, with deep green holly colored eyes (I just made that up as an example). It is perfectly sufficient to say: A flame colored tom with green eyes. Another example- No need to say that a golden brown cat is also lion colored; even if they are described that way once, golden brown still tells readers what their appearance is, and we don't need more synonyms (especially when we have charart to show the description as well). I'm not saying that everyone here adds these, but sometimes other people do and if you see it, you can undo the edit or remove it. We really don't need so many words in the descriptions, because deciding where to stick in the citations can be tricky already. insaneular   Talk  18:30, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

I'd also like to add that we need to keep out opinionated words such as 'beautiful' or 'handsome.' That might not necessarily be true for what everyone thinks, so we need to stick to the facts. Other than that, I agree with you, Insane. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  18:33, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
