Crookedstar's Promise - Quote Nomination 2
I would like to change CP's quote, I feel it spoils the whole book, here are some more quotes I found, owo


 * 1. "Together we can rebuild anything, except cats who have drowned trying to save bits of twig."


 * Shellheart to Brightsky Page 3
 * 2. "Kits born into a storm like this one are destined to be great warriors. It's just a shame that they can't both be leaders of RiverClan."


 * Shellheart about Oakkit and Stormkit Page 8


 * 3. "If he'd of stayed in camp he'd never have had the accident. Then he wouldn't be the ugly mess he is now. He's still be my handsome young warrior."


 * Rainflower to Shellheart Page 51


 * 4. "Your new name may describe your face, young kit, I know you are as true and loyal as any warrior. Bear your name bravely as a kit and nobly when you become a warrior."


 * Hailstar to Stormkit Page 54


 * 5. "Your path is not an easy one. But StarClan would never have given such a hard path to a cat who wasn't strong and brave and loyal."


 * Mapleshade to Crookedkit Page 79


 * 6. "You must promise me, that you will be loyal to your clan above all other things. What you want for yourself is nothing compared to the needs of your Clan. Nothing, remember? Do you make that promise?"


 * Mapleshade to Crookedkit Page 116


 * 7. "Let them guide your paws onto the right path."


 * Brambleberry to Crookedpaw Page 195


 * 8. "You just want to have kits with Crookedjaw."


 * Beetlenose to Willowpaw Page 247


 * 9. "Will StarClan want her like they wanted Brightsky?"


 * Loudkit about Ottersplash Page 293

I like 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. 05:12, July 13, 2012 (UTC) I like four. 12:42, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Quote 6 seems beneficial to the article, as it describes the title as well as the book: the promise Crookedstar made to Mapleshade. Thus, quote 6 is earning my vote. 16:01, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

I like number four. 16:06, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

I like 2, 3, 5, and 7. 16:11, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

2, 4, and 6 are my favs. 00:49, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hold on here - I think you could get the longer version of Quote 6. Just add on, "Nothing, remember? Do you make that promise?" 21:48, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

2, 4, 6 <3 23:33 Sun Jul 15

I added it on 14:15, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

CBV? 16:28, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

None, vote is up. 00:23, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Another Quote Idea
Hi guys, it's me again with another quote idea. Please don't shoot me, Cloudy, Leggy, Stoner  I was thinking...maybe we could have not a main quote, but some quotes in a section on book pages, like character articles? I've seen quotes that people struggle to choose for the main quote - and maybe these quotes don't have to describe the entire plot, but some points in the book. Just an idea, though. Thoughts? 16:13, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

I really don't think we need anymore quotes on the pages...this isn't a character page, where there are multiple books/novels/ect, to choose from. I think one quote on each page is fine...although that's just me. ^^;;

Although it's not a bad idea, I don't really think it's necessary to have more than one. 14:06, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with Cloudy. As Chez stated, it's not a bad idea, though. Howver, having a single, main quote seems more ideal for a book article to me. I don't believe that more quotes are really neccessary. 16:05, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah...we really just need a main quote to capture the essence of a book. I'd have to agree with Skye. 16:15, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Just because it's a book, I think it needs just one. Brillinat idea though! 15:22, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Okay. =) I respect your opinions and if we don't need it, we don't need it. 00:01, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter subpages
So I believe the other discussion was archived due to lack of discussion as well as being off topic from the actual discussion posed, but I'm here to bring it up again. So as of current, many I personally think all actually of the cliffnote pages lack the detail they were created for. In the earlier discussion, it was thought up that perhaps each chapter could have it's own subpage and Skye made a draft of what that subpage would look like. I think it's a pretty neat idea, thus I'm bringing it up again. I also believe we should have nominations for these so as the project can look each page over and make sure the formatting, detail, and all the specifics are in check. =3 01:16, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Ohai, 'Teldy. So nice of you to edit here. XD

Anyways, I agree with this, (since I'm the one that made the draft) and I, as well, think that each chapter should be individually nominated, since asking someone to work on well over 15 pages at once for some books would be extremely outrageous.

Now, what about a navigational method? Would we use a template, or something of the like matter? o.o

Lol, anyways, would something like this work? 02:44, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, yes, that would work. It's simple, sweet, and to the point. I'm assuming there would be a template for each book? ...since all books don't have the same amount of chapters...  lol, never mind. Didn't read the entire thing.

I agree with this...and the template you made, Teldy, would work well. I also agree that each page should be individually nominated. It makes much more sense this way... :3 02:58, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

I've stated my opinion before, and I support this idea. I like the navigation template, and I agree that each article should be individually nominated. If the book article was nominated along with each chapter, many would probably find that too much work and simply withdraw. 04:02, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Pft, asking someone to work on 15 pages at once isn't outrageous. I'd cherish that. But, anyways, I like the navigation template - it's better than what we have so far, and I also like the nominations idea. Thus, I'm supporting the idea in general. 14:45, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yup. Not much more to say here than I support everything so far. 21:43, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Since this is going into the guidelines, and will be used, if voted in, I've added what should go in the guidelines, and added it here. If there are no more comments, I would like to place this to a vote, so we can officially use them.

I've put up the vote. 08:29, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

Forest of Secrets - Quote Nomination
Hi everyone, I'm here to nominate a quote change for Forest of Secrets. The quote now only has to do with one point in the book, and the plot has to do with all the secrets. Here are the quotes I think would fit better.

1)


 * This is the only way, Fireheart repeated to himself. He had to find out the truth. Not just for Redtail and Ravenpaw, but for the sake of his whole Clan. Tigerclaw had to be stopped...before he had the chance to kill again.

- Fireheart thinking about Tigerclaw, Ravenpaw, and Redtail, page 23.

2.)


 * Fireheart shook his head as he padded slowly after Cinderpaw. There was a deeply buried mystery surrounding these cats, and he was beginning to feel that it might be beyond his power to ever understand it.

- Narrator about Fireheart, Mistyfoot, and Stonefur, page 88.

3.)


 * "He told me he found them in the forest, as if they'd been abandoned by rogue cats or Twolegs. But I'm not stupid, and my nose has always worked just fine. The kits smelled of the forest all right, but there was another scent underneath. The scent of ThunderClan."

- Graypool revealing the truth about Mistyfoot and Stonefur's origins to Fireheart, page 69.

4.)


 * "Was it possible that Bluestar's kits hadn't died all those moons ago? Could it be that Mistyfoot and Stonefur were the ThunderClan leader's lost kits?"

- Narrator about Bluestar's kits, page 211.

I like these quotes, but if needed, I'll get some about Tigerclaw. \My favorite quotes are 3 and 1. Opinions, anyone? 15:10, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

3 is brilliant. 15:21, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

1 or 3 19:30, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

I actually like the last sentence of number 2 as it concentrates on all the secrets hidden in this book rather than just the origins of Mistyfoot and Stonefur or the actions of Tigerstar. 03:37, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Atelda has a good point...I like that sentence as well. :3 03:39, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Mmhmm. 'Teldy's got an excellent point, and I'd like to use her idea.

As would I. I agree with Atelda and Cloudy on this. 06:25, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

The Sight - Quote Nomination
Ah, I'm here again with The Sight's quote nomination. First of all, the quote describes upcoming books (coughnone) and not The Sight in general. So, here are some quotes I think would fit better.

1.)


 * "There are difficult times ahead. And your loyalty will be tested to the utmost. Sometimes the destiny of one cat is not the destiny of the whole Clan."

- Skywatcher to Firestar, page 2.

2.)


 * "There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of stars in their paws."

Skywatcher giving the Prophecy of the Three to Firestar, page 2.

3.)


 * I pray that I am wrong, Firestar thought. And yet his heart felt hollow, he feared the prophecy was about to reveal itself. The Three have come...

Narrator describing Firestar, page 3.

4.)


 * "You have a remarkable gift. You can see what no other cat can see. You can go where even StarClan cannot. You must use this power for the good of your Clan."

Spottedleaf to Jaypaw, page 231-232.

5.)


 * Accept your destiny, Jaypaw. And in that instant, he realized that however many moons he searched, and however far he ran, he would never escape what he had known all along.

Narrator describing Jaypaw, page 233.

6.)


 * "Your gift is not a burden. But you must be brave, because it has more power than the sharpest claw..."

Spottedleaf to Jaypaw, page 232-233.

I like 5, 6, and 3. Opinions? 15:52, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

2, 3, or 6. Great quotes! =) 19:31, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

I know I'm going to sound like an idiot here, but I think the quote on The Sight's page is fine. It provides great foreshadowing, and entices the reader to find out //why// Jaypaw says what he does. Sorry, but I don't think this quote should be changed.

After re-reading it, I agree with Skye...the current quote really works well. 03:40, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

I also like the current quote, it is a really good one. 14:59 Mon Jul 23

Now that I re-read the quote, I agree with everyone above me.^ 15:03, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

I have to disagere. Sorry, but they didn't really command StarClan in the book, nor did they posess any power. But, if you guys agree, I won't oject. 21:54, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Outcast - Quote Nomination
Guess y'all are getting sick of me. xD Anyways, I'd like to propose a quote change for Outcast, for I believe that instead of the Tribe needing "real warriors" to defend it, a better quote could replace it, maybe something like the Tribe cats asking for help. Here are the quotes I feel would fit better, but if you disagree, speak up.

1,)


 * "Hollypaw wasn't sure how to reply. She wanted to go straight to Firestar or Leafpool and tell him about his crazy obsession with cats that died out long ago."

Narrator about Jaypaw's crazy obsesion with cats that died out long ago, page 49.

2.)


 * "It was hard to wrench his paws away from the border and start padding back to camp. It's as though the mountains are calling me... But how could he ever answer the call?

Narrator describing Lionpaw, page 74.

3.)


 * "Firestar, we have come to ask Stormfur and Brook to return to the mountains. The Tribe of Rushing Watern needs them."

Talon of Swooping Eagle, page 103.

4.)


 * "Welcome to the Tribe of Rushing Water."

Stormfur to Hollypaw, page 207.

This book didn't give me amazing quotes to choose from. If anything, I like 2 and 3 the best. If I need to find more quotes, tell me, and I will gladly do so. Opinions? 16:13, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Can you find a couple more about the Tribe? 19:32, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

I like 2 and 4. 14:48, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

5. ''I've been happy wih the Captain and Patch. But my kits will be born soon. And I want to raise them in the woods.With trees and prey and freedom.''

Warrior's Refuge ~ Quote Nomination
Hehe first edit in a while on this page...XD Anyway I got some quotes..

1. ''My name is Graystripe. I'm a warrior of ThunderClan. I lived my whole life with my clan mates in the forest until the twolegs came. They captured me and made me live in a twoleg nest. I didn't think i'd ever escape, or see my clan again. I was lost. But then I met Millie, a kittypet who helped me. She saved my life. And now the two of us have set out to find ThunderClan. No matter how long it takes, or how far we have to go.'' -Graystripe pg 10

Secrets of the Clans ~ Quote Nomination
Another quote nomination.. XD

1. ''The story of the beginning of the warrior Clans has been passed down by cats of all Clans, from elder to warrior, from warrior to apprentice, from queen to kit. The story is never the same twice, and parts grow uncertain, or they become suddenly clear in the telling. There are some cats who walk dimly, their names and deeds lost in the sweet fog of the elders' den, for the warrior Clans have roamed the forest for moons beyond counting....'' -Narrator pg 1

2. Unite or die. -Spirits pg 4

3. ''From now on, you will live by a warrior code. your hearts will be filled with courage and nobility, if you must fight, it will be not for greed but for honor and justice.'' -Some spirit..doesn't say who..pg 5

4. ''There was not always peace between the Clans, but that was to be expected-cats are born with claws and teeth for a reason. Still, as long as they lived by the warrior code, their fallen ancestors would watch over them through their lives. and so the age of the warrior Clans began.'' -Narrator pg 6

I like all of them. =) 19:22, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
