Warriors Wiki talk:Characters

Quota
With the opportunity to post a quota that must be meet before PC is alright with the reopening of PCA, what should that be?

I'm not fond of having a certain "type" of page done (like having all of Tallstar's Revenge character pages done) due to the large expanse of character pages still needing to be done. Nor do I think getting all started/planned pages up to bronze would be a good idea considering that they'd be only half way there. Ideas? 20:11, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps getting a certain number to silver, and then working on all of the stub articles or articles with stup sections and complete all of those articles. 00:20, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

We have about ≈39 articles left to complete. Would it be that much of a trouble to try and get all of those done? 23:17, January 23, 2014 (UTC)

Runningnose
Okay, so, in Tigerclaw's Fury, super awesome medicine cat Runningnose plays at least three vital parts in the book. He's not only medicine cat, but it's also said that he's deputy and leader, at least two separate times. For the deputy, the quote is this:
 * Nightstar has been too sick to choose a new deputy," Runningnose put in. He stepped a little closer to the black tom so that he was supporting some of his weight. Tigerclaw thought he had never seen a weaker, more pitiful-looking pair of cats. "I fulfill the duties of a deputy for now." the medicine cat went on.

The leader quote is this:
 * "Shortly the elders will bring Nightstar's body out from his den and we can begin our vigil. As we have no deputy to take his place, I will lead you until StarClan makes its wishes known. Even as we mourn Nightstar, life must continue. The worst of the sickness has passed, and we must make ourselves strong once more. Hunting and border patrols will be sent out as normal, and battle training will begin again."

This goes on for at least a quarter moon, since Runningnose is the one who invites Tigerclaw and his band of rogues to stay in ShadowClan after Nightstar dies, and they appear to be asking Runningnose for permission to do things, and stuff like that. He clearly leads the group of cats, and also performs the medicine cat duties. While the ShadowClan cats do state they don't have a leader, the context says otherwise, and although he wasn't an official leader, he does appear to be unofficial and is even the one to appoint Tigerclaw after he gets a sign from StarClan.

It's not the same case as Graystripe standing in for Brambleclaw as temporary deputy, since there was still an official leader/medicine cat/ect, there, I'd say. Since it seems to me that ShadowClan was his responsibility for more than a sunrise or two, would Runningnose qualify to be listed as leader, or at least temporary leader, of ShadowClan? I added something to the trivia, but since it seems to go into more detail, I think perhaps something else could be added to the article as well?

I think it should go into the article as well - I mean, he was deputy and temporary leader, so why not? 20:24, January 28, 2014 (UTC)

I also think it should go into the article. Leading a group of cats is difficult and very significant, nevermind juggling all three vital roles at the same time. This definitely deserves to be recognized, even if he is only credited as temporary. 01:23, 01/29/2014

Okay multiple months later and you guys have had plenty of time to pick up the ebook lol. Anyone else got an opinion on this?

Misty ~ Silver Nomination
I need to nominate more stuff. Comments? 22:11, January 28, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps merge the first sentence of TST with the other paragraph and reword it a bit? Other than that, nice work Sorrel! 14:56, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Done oops I totally forgot 01:10, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

CBV? 18:41, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry to interrupt, but she needs her TFB info filled out. 21:45, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Rejoining- Fernflight
So I was removed due to inactivity and was wondering if I could rejoin. Thanks, 01:19, 01/29/2014

Of course, please look over the guidelines and FAQ. Welcome back! c: 13:33, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Applefur (TF) ~ Silver Nomination
Completed her page, added as much detail as I could with her three appearances and added what quotes she had. Very minor character. Comments? 19:59, 01/29/2014

Perhaps add a description to the quote she has in her quotes section? Other than that, for the three times she appears, this is quite detailed.

Added. Thanks c: 20:22, 01/29/2014

Maybe move the main quote to the quotes section, as it doesn't really show much personality, other than that wonderful work! 14:57, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Whoops! Did that a while ago; forgot to say I did so. Anyway, it's been moved! Thanks, Duck! c: 20:35, 03/3/2014

CBV? 18:42, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

Vote's up! 13:04, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

Tigerstar
I was looking at the Thunderclan cats and I noticed that Tigerstar is part of the deceased list but he dosn't have the deceased version of him for art. If this is not what we do I understand I will take the case to project art.Firestar12321 (talk) 18:09, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

He does have one; the rogue blanks are used for Dark Forest residents. Also, the PCA is currently closed. 21:44, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

As per Sorrelflower. We based that on a quote from Spottedleaf, which calls the Dark Forest cats rogues within their own Clans, or something along those lines.

Fox (Ro) - Silver Nomination
I didn't do much... it looks pretty detailed. I remember doing some stuff there a while ago, though. 18:42, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Expand the section after Petal and Fox catch the robin, but before Gray Wing meets Fox - there's quite a bit that's missing, and it should be included o3o.

Oops, done that 01:29, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

CBV? 18:43, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry to interrupt, but got to add his TFB info. 21:45, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

May I join?
Hi guys who know me o3o -- Serenity ~ Anchors Aweigh! ~ 18:37, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

Join Request
I have been editing and find that I mostly do characters, and this sounds like a nice project. I would kindly request to join this organization. 00:57, March 2, 2014 (UTC)

Please look over the Guidelines and FAQ. Welcome! c: 20:20, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

This is probably what a lot of us are thinking
Can somebody archive some of the ones up for CBV, some have been up for CBV here since February and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to 19:06, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Sorrel, there's not much that can be done about the archiving, since both leads are "afk", so to say, and only leads are permitted to archive sections. I'm not entirely sure where Duck and 'Teldy have gone, but they'll be around eventually.

Sorry guys, there's been a lot going on in my family and at school recently, but I should be more active now until finals. Again, I'm so sorry, and I'll gett to it asap. 18:35, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

Pronouns
Okay, I'm bringing up an ancient discussion, as seen here, because something about it bothers me, and it's the usage of s/he (which I have seen before) seems to be slightly distracting. Typing it out, like "she or he" is okay, and maybe I've spent too much time reading up on this, but what exactly is wrong with possibly using "they"?

I'm not just spouting out nonsense either. A quick search on the Purdue OWL website states that:
 * Many people find the construction "his or her" wordy, so if it is possible to use a plural noun as your antecedent and thus you can use "they" as your pronoun, it may be wise to do so. If you do use a singular noun and the context makes the gender clear, then it is permissible to use just "his" or "her" rather than "his or her."

Oxford Dictionaries also states this:
 * You can use the plural pronouns ‘they’, ‘them’, ‘their’ etc., despite the fact that, technically, they are referring back to a singular noun.

There are also multiple other dictionary websites, including this one that do state using "they" is acceptable, while it seems grammatically incorrect. It's been in use for many many many years, and it takes a simple google search to find these things out.

I know it's not that big of a deal, and I guess how we have it is okay, but I've always wondered why people have a problem with "they", when it's been used before. Would it be that bad to switch to they, though? I do beg of you though, please do not use "it".

I think they would be fine to use since we don't know their gender. 19:52, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

They would be fine, since it is acceptable for singular, and it'd make it less distracting. 20:06, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

Brackenwing ~ Silver Nomination
Comments? Not too many quotes that I could use for her. 22:08, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

Emberkit (DotC) - Silver Nomination
There are absolutely no quotes to show his personality. Comments? 22:31, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

No, but there are at least one or two quotes that show what happened to him- go ahead and add those. I'm pretty sure the one about Gray Wing saying he won't suffer, and Wind snapping at him for it would work. Try page 195- I looked and saw at least two you could use for him.

How about now? 22:50, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Good~ I think that first quote from Gray Wing would be a good main quote, though. ^^

Okie dokie, I'll do dat 23:10, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Expand him a bit more? I do know that he appears in the end of the book with the other dead spirits, so try to add in those parts. 23:40, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Done! 17:29, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
