Erasing translator names from Publication history?
I think the translators could be removed from list, because, I think no one cares for it and some of them are really unknown, and some pages dont have this names already. ,20:03,January 2,2012 (UTC)

That's what it says, not to add translated words. So we should just delete them. 01:54, Tue, Jan, 3, 2012

Now, wait. What's the big problem with keeping them in the list? They're there for a reason, and I see no need to remove them. It's called a Publication List for a reason, and if you remove certain parts, it loses it's meaning. 22:10, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

The list of translator's names absolutely should be kept. They basically have to sit down and re-write the books. That includes taking things that are quintessentially english and don't have actual words and selecting words that exist in the target languages. There are going to be differences between individual translations, and thus there is a chance for readers of these other languages to develop preferences. Given that there's no argument for removing this save one person thinking that "no one cares" and DJ's (misguided, I think based simply on the lack of realization that not all words exist in all languages, requiring a level of art on the part of the translator). If we don't know who did it, we report that faithfully. But when we know the translator, we should give them credit for their work. 23:58, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

But doesn't it say as a comment in the articles not to add translated words, only use the words that actually appear in the books? 01:10, Wed, Jan, 11, 2012

The list would be bigger, but I don't think anyone here actually possesses a foreign copy of any of the books. Well, I think Helice might (we were talking about it on Skype the one day), but even so. He doesn't come to the wiki any more, so I doubt it'll be of any use. Back on topic: it's still a part of the Warriors universe, and has everything to do with the books. There's no need to get rid of it.

As Kit said, give them credit. If they take the time to translate a story about a bunch of cats, then they certainly deserve credit. xD 17:10, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

yeah suppose. 00:37, Wed, Jan, 18, 2012

A Few Things
Hey, guys! Sorry for the lack of communication recently. There's been almost no internet connection where I am, and it's been major chaos...trying to get back in the house. We should be back in by the end of this month, if all goes as it has been.

Anyways, I come to you with a few things. First off.... I have received word that Rainwillow has left the wiki, to which I'm a little upset. She never told me anything, thus leaving this project without a deputy. I have come to change that, and this is a choice that I know will only benefit the wiki. This user has done tons for me, not just here, but in the chat room as well. I've chosen Rainlegs as this project's new deputy. She was leader once, and I succeeded her. I think it's a good choice, since she's already got the experience this project needs.

Atelda, I thank you for helping out, and if you don't mind, I'd like for you to continue as honorary senior warrior (we're too small to make them official). Until I get back to full activity, Rainlegs and Atelda will be leading the project. If you've any questions, please, contact me and I'll be glad to answer you. 00:44, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations Atelda and Rainlegs! Y'all deserve it! (: 21:07 Sun Jan 8

Undersotood by me. :D Congrats Atelda, and Leggy! 21:08, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Congrats Rainy and Teldy! 01:58, Tue, Jan, 10, 2012

February FA
Might as well start this now. Anyway, in the last FA discussion, Dawn was a big favorite, but it's been awhile since we've done anything outside of the main series. Do any of the Super Editions, Short Stories/Plays, Field Guides, or Manga look good to you guys? If not, we can always go with another main series book. =3 03:17, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

I suggested last time Sunset. Maybe The Rise of Scourge for a different category? Feel free to agree or disagree. =I 05:55, Thu, Jan, 12, 2012

I feel like we should really work on Crookedstar's Promise for some reason..xD. Fell free to disagree though.. 00:38, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Mmm, I don't see Crookedstar's Promise being ready for the front page just yet. Some of the cliffnote sections could be expanded =P. The Rise of Scourge is possible. Perhaps an essay like Tigerstar: Heart of Evil?, or a field guide like Cats of the Clans. =3 00:57, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

I'd say a short story. Not sure which one though. xD 01:34, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Secrets of the Clans? 21:48 Fri Jan 13

Cats of the Clans, Tigerstar: Heart of Evil?, and Secrets of the Clans look good to me. Are there any other suggestions? 04:44, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking Tigerstar: Heart of Evil? -- 23:42, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

I agree. 23:43, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

I think Secrets of the Clans would be a good one. 23:49 Sat Jan 14

I think Tigerstar: Heart of Evil? is a good choice.

I think Tigerstar Heart of evil is a good one too. 08:19, Tue, Jan, 17, 2012

Heart of Evil looks good to me. Excellent choice, guys. =D 21:42, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Join Request
I would like to join the project. I know it has not come out yet, but I can get Hollyleaf's story since I have a Nook.

Sit tight! One of our leads'll come by and add ya in! 20:48 Mon Jan 16

I'll add you momentarily, please take a look at the guidelines and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. 20:51, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

I think...
I think I'm leaving this project. I haven't thought about it since I saw PCA, and joined there. I know I could be a good addition to PB, but it seems too...out of my reach. I hope to re-join you all once I can handle it. 21:07, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Hopefully we'll see you soon. A lead will remove you from thelist when they can.

I'm sorry to hear that Mooneh. I'll remove you from the list. :( 21:11, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Bye Mooneh :/ 01:24 Tue Jan 17

Bai Mooneh, hope you can rejoin soon when you're ready to come back. 00:54, Wed, Jan, 18, 2012

Quote nominations
Are we still doing quote nominations still? Because I have some quotes for Bluestar's Prophecy. 01:15, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

If there isn't already a quote on the page, then go for it. 01:16, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Thanx. 01:18, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yep. There just hasn't been any nominations and stuff recently. I haven't been able to get on, and the others have been busy...but yeah. Go for it. Just remember to have the page number and characters. 21:09, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Okay Thanx ^^ 21:45, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

I think it would be good to have the quote relating to the prophecy Goosefeather gave to Bluestar, since the book is called Bluestar's Prophecy, but it's not my project to do, just a suggestion. I didn't know if you were suggesting the same thing.

Join Request
Thought I might take a whack at it. So? Can I join? 12:34, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Yes you can. Someone will add you in momentarily. In the meantime please read the guidelines. Welcome!

Nearly missed this one...anyways, no bother in repeating what Cheshire said, but... eh 00:55, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Bluestar's Prophecy~ Quote Nomination
1. I watched you as you grew up, and I saw how much you had to give to the Clan who adopted you. If I had made a different choice you would've given all your strength to ThunderClan. Forgive me. --Bluestar to her kits BP pg 6

2. A good warrior learns from his Clanmates. --Stonepelt to Blue& Snowkit BP pg 19

3. The gathering is held under a truce. For the night of the full moon we are one Clan, so long as the Silverpelt shines. But never forget that the truce ends. Tomorrow we'll be rivals again. --Moonflower to Bluepaw BP pg 85-86

4. You can hide from your clanmates. It'll be StarClan that judges you. --Swiftbreeze about Goosefeather BP pg 139

5. Like fire you will blaze through the forest. But beware, even the most powerful flames can be destroyed by water. --Goosefeather to Bluepaw BP pg 209

6. Bluefur: Will they hate us forever? Pinestar: WindClan? They’ll forgive us for the attack, then hate us for some other reason. Just as the other Clans will. The four Clans will be enemies till the end. And yet we all want the same things: prey to hunt, a safe territory to raise our kits, and peace to share dreams with our ancestors. Why must we hate one another over such simple desires? --BP pg 244

7. I have high hopes for you, Bluefur. You were my apprentice once, and I will always feel like your mentor. I want you to strive to become the best warrior you can be, because I believe one day ThunderClan will have need of your gifts. –Sunstar to Bluefur BP pg 369

8. Use all your nine lives for your Clan. We will be with you every at every step. If you need us we will come. You were chosen long ago, and StarClan has never regretted its choice. –Snowfur to Bluestar BP pg 503

9. If wishes were prey, we’d eat like lions come leaf-bare. But we’d die of boredom. You know that’s not what the life of the Clans’ is like. The warrior codes guides us through the dark times, the cold and the hunger. And the good times seem all the sweeter for it. Have faith Bluestar. We’ll survive. –Whitestorm to Bluestar BP pg 513

I know this is a lot but...They're pretty good xD. Vote! 01:25, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

There are a lot... I like number 5, 7 and 8. I like 7 the most though. 8's a bit spoilerish in a way if you read BP before the other books. No offence but some of them are good quotes for the characters speaking them, but not for the actual book itself. 02:12, Fri, Jan, 20, 2012

I like #5, #8, and #9. I just think that #5 is short and sweet. It's kind of the main idea of the book. It practically describes the title to me.

I like 5. -- 02:14, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

I like #1, #2, and #9, but I don't feel as though you get the...same feeling I suppose as some of the other ones.

@DJ there are enough quotes that we can pick out the ones which are spoiler-ish and the ones that don't fit the book. 22:02, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, definatly. 00:44, Sat, Jan, 21, 2012

I am in favor of number five because it makes people curious and explains the book fairly well opposed to the other quotes. 00:52, January 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree. 01:00, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
