Gallery Back Covers - Silver Nomination
I got all the books. All I need to do is rename the images to fit the Book Covers. 01:39, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Wow! Looks great! I actually nominated it bronze today and was hoping to make it silver, but you did better than what I could have done! 03:05, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's funny. I saw that it on the project page in the chart, and was about to change it, then I saw you already did. :3 03:30, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Lol, yeah! :P 20:43, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Looks good to me. :D 15:44, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Should we be adding in Crookedstar's Promise (and the SkyClan ones, for that matter), since it comes out next week? And are these the back covers for the hardcover editions? Because the one I have for Outcast is different.  Law liet  Me ow 22:01, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess we should add those in anyway. There must be different versions of the back cover. Can you try to find a picture of the back cover you have online? Then we can see if Moonflight should add that in. 02:24, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

There must be two versions. Some versions have a book summery and others have a list of books. Some books have one, some have the other, and some might have both. So, we'll each have to search our books and scan them if necessary. 02:28, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

SquirrelFlame, this is the one that I have. I get most of my books in paperback, so I think they vary from the hardcovers. I can go through and check mine if I have to (since I have all the books up to Crookedstar's Promise, which I'll get sometime this week).  Law liet  Me ow 01:03, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Good idea. You check through yours, and see if they're the same. If not, you can add it in. 17:40, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, a lot of mine already match what is up there, aside from one or two paperbacks. But, it doesn't really bother me. 00:47, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Allegiances Crookedstar's Promise - Silver Nomination
They've been ready for a while now. I just felt it was appropriate to wait until Crookedstar's Promise was officially released. 20:56, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

I don't have possession of CP yet (I need to pick it up at the bookstore tomorrow)...and I gotta ask. Are there any cats that are included in the book that aren't in the Allegiances? We should include them too, right?  Law liet  Ta lk 01:04, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. Other than that, looks great! :D 15:55, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * True. I'll look into that. 15:57, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Wait. According to Helix's guidelines, it says that the Allegiances must be copied exact, so, we shouldn't that then... 00:39, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I forgot about that... I think we should have an extra section for the cats not included. It makes it seem like they're not part of the book otherwise.  Law liet  Ta lk 02:12, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Thats a good idea...or we could have a separate list. 20:03, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

I like the idea about having an extra section. Otherwise, like Cloudy said, it makes them seem like they're not part of the books. 17:34, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. The extra section sounds better. 00:54, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

What are we doing with this? Are we keeping it how it is, or adding in another section? 00:45, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

I think we should add in the other section. 00:47, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

I agree too. Hmm... I'm thinking of asking Helix his opinion on this. Should I see what his ideas are? 00:53, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, Helix is much more experienced and will have good ideas to contribute. 02:33, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. I trust his judgement. 02:35, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

All further discussion on this matter shall be taken to the bottom of the page, in the new section I created. 02:41, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Sign of the Moon- Silver?
I think I did a pretty good job with Sign of the Moon, what do you guys think? I think it's summarized fairly well. 01:04, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Looks good, but the Plot Summary should be expanded, and it needs a publication list. Also, take a look at the cliffnotes, as they need to be finsihed. =)  Law liet  Li ght 01:14, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it could certainly be expanded. I think you should add more references to the trivia and add another cover to the gallery. I think there's an e-book or something. 02:46, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

So, all the other links need to be ready before the main article can be ready? 13:58, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

E-books don't need covers; none of the books have them in the galleries. E-books just need to be in the publication list. 16:14, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Right, I knew that! ;) But, yes. I'm pretty sure that the other links need to be ready before it can be nominated. 17:47, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, they do. 16:51, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I'll work on that in a little bit (I'm not feeling well right now) so I just thought I'd let you know. But shouldn't it be at least bronze, not "started"? 20:44, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I guess the main article is good enough to be bronze right now. I'll go change that. 22:30, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Can the summary be expanded just a little bit? 00:17, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Return to the Clans ~ Silver Nomination
Like Squirrelflame did, I'm going to nominate this just to reserve it, but I'm still working on it... 00:02, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Fixed and expanded cliffnotes; added citation for cats on cover... 00:08, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, good. I don't have this one, so, thanks for working on it. *is glad* 00:10, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

No problem. xD Finished Publication List and Plot Summary... 00:12, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I can't find the citations for the Trivia, because I don't have the book. Help? 00:14, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

That I can't help with. Hmm, maybe ask Squirrel if she has the book? 00:17, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

She doesn't own any books, but she might have it from the library... 15:52, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

You might have to get a better cover for the book because Tadpole has a white blotch on his shoulder, and the actual book doesn't. 19:11, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't? Okay, then. I'm not good with covers, though... 19:22, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I'll go find another one. =) 19:24, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind. There are two different versions, and the one on Barnes and Nobel does indeed show the white blotch. However, the library binding one does not. 19:27, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I see. We should add that in the trivia and put both covers in the gallery. 19:34, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I'll get right on that. 19:35, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Thanks! I'll go add the other one to the Publication List then. 19:48, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Is it showing up in the gallery? I can't see it; all it says it 220 px. 19:54, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I named it right, but it's because of the extension that it's not working. The JPG needs to be lowercased... >.> 19:57, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I uploaded a version, too. It's right here: File:Cover.jpg Except I didn't name it right. However, the jpg isn't capitalized on mine so we might be able to use it. 20:13, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I'm having issues with this gallery...... 20:21, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

You got it! It's better now. 20:25, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

I changed the name for you...or for me. Whatever. xD I'll delete the extra one, then. And I added it to the Publication List. 20:38, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

If you can, extend the cliffnotes. 12:04, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Characters not included in the Allegiances
Should they be added to the allegiances page, or just left alone? Now, you all know my opinion on this, but, I think I should get the opinions of the other users before any type of decision is made. So, comments, anyone? 02:40, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Hi all. First, we should decide what is an Allegiance article.
 * Is it supposed to be a verbatim copy of the "allegiances" pages as published in the book?
 * Is it supposed to list all characters appearing in the book, regardless of the list given by the authors?

I have no problem with the second option, i.e. include characters that were left out or forgotten from the list, in a separate section. However, to avoid future debates, we should decide what should be included, and what not.
 * Should we include only named characters, or unnamed ones (e.g. Leafstar's Mother) as well?
 * Should we include only cats, or other creatures and humans (e.g. Pack Leader) as well?
 * Should we include groups (e.g. The Pack), or only individuals?

Kind regards, 08:26, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

I feel as if it should list every character that appeared in the book, to gives a heads up to other users reading the article. 12:03, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Icestorm is right. It wouldn't make sense to a reader if they don't see all the characters listed. I think that all characters should be included, including cats like Leafstar's Mother. The list included in the book isnt even by any of the Erins - it's the editor that makes them. 13:20, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, any cat/animal that has it's own page on this wiki needs to be put on the page. It makes sense to list all the characters, not just the few that show up in the allegiances. I think groups shouldn't be included as groups have many characters, but individual ones such as Pack Leader need to be listed. 18:21, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

What about cats born during the book? 19:18, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Good point. I think those should be listed separately too. 19:20, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Exactly. This would also mean including Dovekit and Ivykit in the allegiances of Sunrise, as an example. 19:22, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

So the allegiances would then have a spolier warning section too? 19:24, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

It would seem that way. I see nothing wrong with it. 01:01, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I suggest that, to avoid making allegiances into completely spoiler-enclosed articles, a section should be added to the bottom of the article labeled "Appeared by were not Listed" (or something similar) and that ends up in spoiler tags. I think that's a suitable "middle ground" to get them included, but keep the allegiances themselves faithful to what was in the books. 01:14, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, that a really good idea. Thanks for your input, Kitsu. 01:21, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Activity Issues
Okay, I know Rainlegs is already pissed at me for this, and I'm sorry. This is something that needs to be done, because I can't do everything on my own anymore. I'm sorry, but this needs to be said, and out in the open. I want to know everyone's opinion on the activity issue here. Now, I've seen Rainlegs edit, and in case most of you haven't noticed, not a lot of it is for PB, the project she is supposed to lead. I don't want to sound greedy, and I am in no way, shape or form, trying to gain more power here, just letting you all know that now. Some things have come to light, recently, and I can't take it anymore.

What I really want to know...should we leave things the way they are? Rainlegs, if you see this, I'm NOT FORCING YOU TO STEP DOWN. I just want everyone's opinion on the activity issue. Please, remember everyone, be honest. If you don't want to say anything, please, don't. I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable by all of this... Rainlegs... I'm sorry, but I have to do this. 01:28, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Rainlegs, I'm sorry, too, but I feel this is a discussion we must have. I have thought Cloudy was the leader before because she is so insanely active on this project compared to toher users. I never noticed Rainlegs in this project at all until first seeing her name in one of the discussions above. Then it came to my attention that she was the leader of this project. It didn't look like it to me, and it still doesn't. I think she should step down as deputy or a warrior. Rainlegs, once again, I'm extremely sorry for this, but that's my opinion. 01:35, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

I know. I am very sorry to Rainlegs, as well...but I kind of have to agree with Cloudskye. I love you Rainlegs, you're a great user, but you're just not active on Project Books. I have to say, when I first came back from my break and looked at this talk, I did think Cloudskye was the leader. But then I realized you were. As I said before, I love you, Rainlegs, as a friend and all, but Cloudskye is the only one who edits. She's the only one keeping this project alive. Again, I'm sorry for this, but I agree with Cloudskye. 01:49, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

I was actually planning to step down in the fall, but I'm willing to do it now if you all agree. 02:06, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do what you feel you need to do. I hope you understand that I...didn't mean any harm... 02:11, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's fine Cloud. You'll make a better leader then me, and I wish you luck with the future. :) 02:13, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you... I'm glad you understand. I wasn't expecting an answer so quickly from you, honestly. Nor was I expecting it to be so...calm. 02:14, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't yell in public. Only in e-mails. (As you well know. :P) 02:16, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, god. Does this mean..? Please tell me there's nothing in my inbox about this... 02:17, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

SkyClan's Destiny
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to start a discussion like this, but what needs to be worked on in SkyClan's Destiny? I think the plot summary looks good, and I know cliffnotes need major work, but what else? 01:39, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

The summary only has about half of the book. You may want to re-think before you say something. XDDD 01:41, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, really? Wow, never noticed! Typical me... :P 01:44, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
