Re:Nevermind
About the article history thing... as I said before, I don't think it would be worth all the time you'd have to put into it, but if you really want to do it, I won't stop you. So long as it doesn't disturb any other part of the talk page. 12:25, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

And about the voting thing, I'm sorry that they're late, but when I'm away there is nothing I can do about it. There are three other people in the project that could have taken them down while I'm away, so they shouldn't still be up, but I'll go take care of them... (sorry to sound angry, I know it's not your fault) 12:27, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Don't apologize, it's really not your fault. I'm just tired and grumpy from being at camp for 3 days straight XD And you're welcome for the compliment - you deserve it! 12:56, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I won't force the 3 lead votes thing if the other leads don't see it, but you still need to wait two weeks to allow as many people to see it as possible. But once that is up, as long as the support has the majority, I won't disqualify you if two other leads don't vote. 13:05, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sweet!
That means in September I can be a mentor! Smoketail88 15:11, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hey... Again!! :D
Lol, you archived my new section XP And Insane replied to my message. Did you see what she said? :) You're well on your way to becoming a senior warrior!

I will go check out Crowfeather right now ^_^ 15:38, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah! It's really good for your first try :D Just do what everyone else says. :P I take it you saw my Sagepaw image? ^_^ 15:54, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

All you have to do (well, this is how I do it, I'm sure there's an easier way to do it XP) is edit your section in the talk page, delete the image, and then upload it again. It works for me :D 16:11, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think you misunderstood what I said :P When I said upload it, I meant re-upload it from your computer, not from the image database. Does that help? 16:28, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so what you have to do is edit the section that your charart is on, delete your original image (just press backspace, nothing fancy), then go to insert image. Under "Upload an Image", click on "Browse", then go to your changed picture in your computer (Crowfeather.loner.png), and insert that. Get it? :) 17:17, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Uhm... what did you do? :\ The lineart is now the same colour as his body. And he needs shading. Maybe look at this? 21:23, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I can help. What program are you using, first of all? 21:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I answered :\ It's right there^ :D What program do you use for charart? 22:02, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I use GIMP, and I recommend you do, as it is easier to use layers and such. And, if you're using pixlr, I won't be able to help you :D I know it's kind of putting you on the spot, but I want to be able to help :) 22:15, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, his article looked fine to me, but... apparently not ;)

And are you going to use GIMP? It's really easy, and I'll help you too :D 22:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense :D You have to download it, if it isn't an issue for you. Just Google GIMP and download it ^_^ 22:35, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

All right, let me know when you're done so I can help out; it's very confusing at first (at least it was for me :D ) 22:45, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Have you downloaded GIMP/figured out Crowfeather's image yet? XD 18:22, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Jeeze, I feel annoying... Hellooooo? :D 20:02, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I hope you get it right :) A lot of people are telling you to fix the lineart, even though ten people before them already have XD 22:08, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! I've been missing you! (for a day.. lol) Guess what books I got today? :D (You might not've heard of them, but I'm gonna tell you anyway XP)

The Hunger Games trilogy :D The third one just came out today, and I was really excited for it ^_^ 01:58, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yes indeed :) The boxed set (all three hardcovers) cost sixty bucks, and it's well worth it, so I got it :D Instead of going right to the third one, I started from the beginning, you know, catch up at bit :D But I'm so excited to read the last one I can't concentrate D:

Oh, and happy early 2,000 edits :D You're nearly there, so... cha. ;) 02:07, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ohh I hope it's worth it. And its $60 Canadian, $53 American :D

You're welcome! I remember congratulating you on 1,000... man, that wasn't a long time ago o_o I hope I can get there soon ^_^ 02:24, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed. 1,500 might not be a month away... ^_^

And nope. :) I still have a little under two weeks to enjoy my summer XD But right now it's raining buckets here, so no outside for me :( 22:08, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, well, we start in early September and end in late June XD It kinda sucks though, because by August it's only about 20 degrees, not 30 like it is in July.

I saw Brightheart's talk page :D We're just awesome like that, eh? ;) 22:16, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, when I posted that I thought you might get confused, but then I was like "Nah, he's way too smart not to figure that out!" :D 01:31, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hah, remember how I told you I was making myself read the first and second one before Mockingjay? Well I am, and I'm still on the first one *fail* Normally, I'd at least be done the first one, but... gah D: When are you planning on getting it? ;) 01:40, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I don't recommend you waste your money on SkyClan's Destiny. Sure, it's got some interesting bits, but for the most part it's just boring, and there's no real plot line. But that's just me, get it if you want :D 01:57, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Really? To me, it seems like they ran out of ideas halfway through :D When I first heard they were writing an entire Super Edition (four hundred something pages), I wondered what in StarClan's name they were going to write about XP The whole book seemed kind of random to me ^_^

Listen to me and my critiquing... Pfff. 02:17, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah! I was so shocked and honored when Bramble offered me the position. Your best friend's the deputy, mine's soon to be a senior warrior! :D 12:20, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

I know! I was expecting one of the senior warriors, but Bramble told me that she's much like Sunstar :) 00:31, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Well, it needs to be up for at least two weeks, and how long has it been? I need to get my memory checked >.< 02:34, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Aw, that sucks. At least it's only four - or three? - more days now. XP 15:34, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

We have to do, like, a countdown or something :D Lol, my talk page was being spanned. Not that congratulation notes are a bad thing ;) But it was getting a bit long, so yes, I archived it. It only took a few days for my entire talk page to fill up O_O 17:10, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hunger Games? :D I got my sister hooked on those :3 Did you buy SkyClan's Destiny, too? 20:31, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, really? I've never read them myself but I've heard of them, and they have them in my library xD Are they any good? (I could probably tell from your comments, but I'll ask anyway  22:28, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

You can go ahead and tell me :D 23:22, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

It sounds really good O_O I doubt I'll have time to get to the library and read them, though, because it's so out of my way D: But I promise I'll try! 23:34, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I will ^_^ And actually, I'm on Mockingjay now :D I've only read a few chapters, but it's really good! 23:57, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I liked that one better than the first :D I especially loved the Quell. The design for the whole "clock" arena was really unique. 01:19, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

I know! Mags just seemed really cute to me :D Shame that had to happen to her :( I really loved Wiress and for some reason pictured her as a teenager. I did for most of the tributes anyway (especilly Beetee and Finnick O_O), before I remembered they're adults ^_^ 01:55, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Wiress was cute, too, when she was wandering around, like "tick, tock" and Johanna was getting all mad at her xD Yeah, I saw Cinderheart's vandal. I hate when people do that, especially when they revert an edit that someone (that someone being me) already undid. Did you see that user Mosspaw changing all of the ceremonies yesterday? That got me really mad, because they edited it twice, so it couldn't be undone, so I had to retype out everything they changed -_- And then they went and created their own pages for their OCs ceremonies! Grr.... 02:10, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I hate when people do that. I think it's imature and stupid. Have you seen Insane's user page? Under the "Epic Zone" there is this hillarious vandalisim, you should go check it out. :P 02:17, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hehe, fail. You edited your own user page :3 And yeah, I've seen that :D I thought it was really funny, especially when Sandy got banned for five minutes xD 02:20, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, talk to you later :) 02:33, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hey thar! ;) How's your book? :P 15:47, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Your 39 clues book! Or did you finish that...? Nevermind. :3 21:44, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I looked at it. All I did was move the endspoiler :D He looks good! 22:03, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

I know! I get so paranoid sometimes... Anyway, what's new with you? 22:06, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Congrats :D What, pretell, does the president of the Academic Team do? :3 22:44, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

I'm here, don't worry :D I was just sleeping ;) So how many more days do you have left? I can't remember I'm thinking of too many things at once :S 12:38, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Sure, if I can figure it out :) I'll go try now. 22:19, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I figured it out ^_^ Just go here, and type in your nickname and the two words you see. Then, after you log in, click on the green text that says "#wiki-warriorcats" at the top of the thingy :D My name is on the sidebar. Then click on query, and start typing :D That should help. 22:40, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hello
Hi Whitestorm. Congratulations on the senior warrior nomination, and I'm happy to see you were considered, as the Project is very active and needs people who are available and who can help out. This is not to say of course that the current coordinators do a bad job - they are great people and do a terrific work, but they have non-virtual lives, and for times when they get a well-deserved break it is good to have someone who watches over things. With your activity, I think you will do well. Keep in mind though that you will need the support of the majority of the project coordinators as well to be accepted in the position. Also, if I may give an advice - I see you are very eager about helping out and getting observed, but I'd rather suggest to be modest and patient instead of repeatedly messaging admins about a nomination or feeling the need of pointing out your own merits like "Check the article history to see how hard I worked". This will make some people believe your goal is to have power, while I believe it is not. Just let things take their way, be humble and helpful, and people will trust you more then. :) Regarding your question on the "What I think" list, of course you can add any opinion about me (or about any user), you do not need my permission to do it. At this moment I do not know enough about you to form an opinion to put on my page, but I guess this will change soon. Regarding friendship, for me it means much more than the exchange of a couple of messages; it is rather the result of working together and interacting for long months; but as I wrote in my previous message, it is a possibility for the future. ;) Kind regards, 16:12, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your message about the editcount. :) About the userbox project, I was named as leader in May, when the project started up. I already had knowledge about wiki and html code and used to help out with it and create layouts, interactive things and all that, including userboxes like the support-char and support-clan. Then the admins decided that we should start up (or rather restart - it was already active in 2008, although closed down since) the Userbox project, and I undertook the leader position. 16:28, August 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, actually it was me starting it up, with the support of the admins of course. At this moment, I do not know which boxes need an update, but I guess there are a few. After the Project enters Maintenance stage, as discussed on the talk page, I will make a list of everything that needs fixing. 16:53, August 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * All right then. :) I'll send you a message when I have news about it. 06:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Editcount
Hi! Just thought to drop by to congratulate you on reaching 2000 edits. :) Kind regards, 13:02, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, those edits really add up fast if you find things to fix and have some free time (like I did in Spring). :D One might think the wiki is fairly "complete" in what concerns the content and information it contains, but after contributing for a time, you realize that there are lots of things still to be done. 11:50, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
I've seen you on Oblivion's talk page so I decided to say hello. So......Hi! ^U^ wanna be friends? Breezestar  Only a Breeze... 16:30, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Probably PCA. Can you look at my image up for approval? Its Egg as a loner. Breezestar  Only a Breeze... 16:52, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hi again! Insane said if I need info on project characters,ask a dedicated warrior. So I asked you! could you kinda explain what its all about? Thanks Breezestar  Only a Breeze... 22:22, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Are there any stubs you know of that I can work on? thanks Breezestar ' Only a Breeze...'' 01:45, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Mentor
You would? Thank you sooo much! I've been looking for a mentor for a while now, I really need help with making signatures and stuff. ~Blossomsky~ 22:55, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I was wondering how to change the color of my signature. ~Blossomsky~ 23:53, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I'd like to change it too. I want it to have a saying next to it, but I'm not sure how to get it there. ~Blossomsky~ 23:59, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I want it to say my username in different shades of pink. I changed my mine about the sayings, though. Don't want them anymore. ^.^; ~Blossomsky~ 00:35, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh! Also, I'd really like to reserve Oakstep as a Warrior for the PCA, but I'm not sure how. Can you help?~Blossomsky~ 01:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, see, I'd like mine to be all sorts of pink (if they have different shades. If not, then pink and purple) and I want it to just link to my user page and talk page, the "Blossom-" leading to my user page, the "-sky" leading to my talk page.

Oh. Ok, no problem! Then I'll go look for another character to reserve. Thanks! ^.^ ~Blossomsky~ 20:45, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I think I'll join project Characters, or maybe project Books. Or both! Again, thanks so much! :) ~Blossomsky~ 21:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, also, I found a character to reserve; Leafstorm. But how do I reserve her? ~Blossomsky~ 21:21, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I will! ^.^ Also, how do you reserve a cat? I asked earlier, but I don't think you got the message. ^.^; ~Blossomsky~ 21:27, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, ok! That's fine. I'll go look again, then. Thanks again! ~Blossomsky~ 21:42, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

That's ''perfect! '':D Thanks! ~Blossomsky~ 18:57, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try it out now! ^.^ ~Blossomsky~ 20:00, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

EDIT: It won't work. :(

I'm not sure what happened. When I sign my signature, I get this: &#91;&#91;User:Blossomsky&#124;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ED8AEB&#39;&gt;Blossom&lt;/span&gt;&#93;&#93;&#91;&#91;User talk:Blossomsky&#124;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#C445C2&quot;&gt;sky&lt;/span&gt;&#93;&#93; 21:45, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Ok. thanks.

It worked! :D Thanks so much! Blossom sky 21:57, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Mentor?
Ello Whitestorm i don't have a mentor and i went to the adopt a user but would you like to be my mentor : ) Ivyleaf 02:56, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

References and Citations
Hey Whitestorm! I have a question, could you teach me how to do citations and references step by step, because I'm confused with them. Thanks! River pelt Deputy of StormClan 22:25, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay thanks! Just one more question though, how would you reference it on charart boxes? For example see Tawnypelt's charcat box. River pelt Deputy of StormClan 22:50, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Okay Thanks alot! =) River pelt Deputy of StormClan 23:37, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
I'll be doing some archiving myself, so don't worry about that particular one as I'll get it. And you may add me as a friend using the userbox. =) -- 02:27, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Gorsetail
Hey Whitestorm17! I did some research and in The Fourth Apprentice, in WindClan, there is a Gorsetail. It's a very pale gray and white tom. So which Gorsetail would that be under? Willowheart May StarClan light your path! 02:35, August 23, 2010 (UTC)Willowheart1231

Project Characters
Thank you for your offer, but I am so early in the books, I'm only on Midnight. Being in Project Characters would be so fun, but sadly it would just bring spoilers. Again thank you for your offer. Have a great day! Nightflower Of ThunderClan 14:23, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sig Colors
Hi! There are lots of places where you can get the names of colors (just search on "web colors" on the net), for example on this page. Although, if I may suggest, you should rather use the hex values to define colors (such as "#FF8C00" instead of "orange"), as that way you can use any color, not just the few named ones. Check this page for instance to find out the hex value for any color. 16:18, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Mentor!
Hi Whitestorm! I saw your name under as a mentor and you don't have any apprentices. May I be an apprentice? Thanks! Willowheart May StarClan light your path! 00:37, August 24, 2010 (UTC)Willowheart1231

Re:Mentor
Hello, Whitestorm! I saw that you replyed on my user page and asked to be my mentor. I'd be delighted! Thank you very much! Fawnspirit 02:51, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

: )
Hello Whitestorm how do you make userboxs Ivyleaf 20:10, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Epic Zone
Hehe, thanks - I never knew if anyone actually looked at that but it was stuff that I thought was cool. And yeah, Hollyleaf's page gets that stuff a lot due to the nature of her situation... I thought it was protected already but I guess not... it is now though. 12:38, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Making Quotes
How do you make quotes? You said on Dappletail on Characters that you would explain. Thanks. Reply ASAP. I already picked quotes for her. -- Badgers with Lollipops ~ Honeyrose34 22:28, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Nah, that's okay. Actually, today was my 1st day of school and I feel crappy. I probably wouldn't have been that quick either. But thanks anyway!! -- Badgers with Lollipops ~ Honeyrose34 22:37, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Um..Whitestorm, when I click on the magic word part of the template box, this box comes up and i don't understand it. it say that I need to put the template in, but I don't understand where. please help. Thanks! -- Badgers with Lollipops ~ Honeyrose34

No, just something about that if i click this link, it will take me back to the page I'm editing in the edit zone thing. Idk. It's odd. -- Badgers with Lollipops ~ Honeyrose34

Overindulging in Chatter
Hey Whitestorm. All the chatter snippets traveling back and forth between you and others need to come to an end. I don't mind if you drop a long message with a summary of your day to each other once a day, but the little remarks several times a day need to stop. They clutter up the recent changes, plus take up a ton of space on your respective talk pages, and the function of the talk pages is to collaborate with other users to discuss wiki business. If you guys want to chat, please visit the IRC or the off-wiki forums that are made for such things (I can provide links if necessary). Thank you. -- 14:48, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
The answer to all of your questions is yes :) And as for the amount of votes thing, there's no exact limit but I usually don't put up more than 5 or 6 votes at a time because it starts to get cluttered and disorganized. 00:12, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

PB tips
Hi! Just some remarks about PB operations... there is a somewhat hidden page keeping track of article grades, it should be updated when an article is promoted. For publication lists, I guess you saw this page for creating and referencing them (I'm doing those for any article proposed for silver, but it might come handy when I'm not around). Also, this proposal about file naming needs attention; now that discussion is over, you should remind the admins that a voting should be initiated on the topic, so we could have a guideline about naming covers (if accepted). Other than that, good luck, and just call if you need help with any project-related thing. :) Kind regards, 05:12, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
Sure. 13:57, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry :(
That time doesn't work for me :( I'll hopefully see you tommorow, though ^^ 18:01, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Mentor
Hi Whitestorm! I'm really sorry I haven't been on. Life has been plenty busy for me with school starting and the new story I'm working on that I'm rapidly trying to get posted. I may not be on as often, but I promise to make an effort to be here as much as I can.

Thanks so much, Fawnspirit 20:29, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re: PB
No problemo. 21:16, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
