Hazeltail (A)
Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I just had a question. I thought your reservation ran out on Hazeltail (A) so I went ahead and posted it on the Tweak page, but I just wanted to make sure, since Duck said you still had it reserved. I could take it down if you still want it. 18:50, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Spotted
No you can go ahead and do it. Thanks for offering, though. :3 18:43, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Edits
I'm sorry for keeping to enter chat when not supposed to. Usually I end up hitting the wrong link. I didn't realize i didn;t have qualifications because I don't check my edits. It seemed fine because I didn't get kicked last time. Anyway, I'm sorry for the trouble.

Bluestar
Hey, I noticed that you uploaded Bluestar and marked it for deletion, because I had it reserved. Well, I'm un-reserving it, because you already have yours uploaded, and yours looks epic. =D 13:37, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I'm sure! =D  21:04, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

A quick question
Hey Paleclaw! I saw your name when I tried to join chat, so I decided I'd contact you. I'm doing some copyediting here, and I'm wondering, well, what exactly is the standard tense for articles? For example, Beechfur (RC) uses present, past, as well as passive voice, so I'm rather confused.  Maple wing  19:45, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

Paleh, I said sorry to cloud. I've been put up under alot of stress lately and I get mad easily. I didn't know how I got in chat but I clicked it and it let me in. and I'm sorry ok? My mom and dad are dead and My really mean aunt takes care of meh. But you people wouldnet understand. My life is horrible and i don't have anyone to talk to...:'( 04:40, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Re::
I wasn't surprised when I received the new message notification, and I've thought it over a lot in the last few minutes. I apologize for jumping to the conclusion about you that I did. I always thought you never liked me; I don't know if you remember that one time we had our fight about Mounty, many months back, but that was what had convinced me that you hated me. Either way, I shouldn't have cared, but I suppose my curiosity is stronger than that. I did not know you were trying to get along with me, because of the comments from the past such as "then you're delusional" and other made me believe you truly didn't like me. The incapability of taking a joke is a major flaw I have, but I intend to work better on that, along with my short temper. Honestly, I want to try to be your friend, but I don't think it might happen due to recent events. However, if you desire to put these events behind you (I'm not trying to sound snippy, by the way- it's the effect of typing long stuff at 1am x.x), I'd like for us to try and become friends. I assure you that I won't be talking about you behind your back anymore. -- Atomic Pumbaa! Let me define babysitting! 10:06, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

It's Berry...Uh
I've tried countless times to try and reset my password, which I'd reset last night, and it won't work. I'm quite confused - any suggestions, Paleh? ^^;; berry who can't log in

I've tried three or four times. It's still not working, and if it's not gon' work this time, I'll contact Wikia about it. berry who can't log in

Re:Stoatfur
Hey, Paleh I'll apologize early forany glaring spelling/grammer mistakes; doing this without my hlasses on  I totaly get that Stoatfur is important to you and stuff happens (I got lucky with Russety). I won't ask why you couldn't get up in time since it's not really my businuess, but sure, you can have him. I gotta get ready for school so can you put the message on his mage and can you reserve Gorsepaw's StarClan for me if no one else has claimed it? Love, Scarly 13:16, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Mentor
Yes, I'd still like a mentor. Thank you so much for offering! 00:35, 02/3/2013

RE: Patterns
It's a little complicated, because as pattern words in cat-lingo both Dappled and Mottled mean exactly bupkis (which is why you've never seem them used to refer to tabbies before now, in which the erin's are digging for interesting ways to describe cats), and linguistically they mean essentially the same thing "marked with small spots or patches contrasting with the background" and "a surface having colored spots or blotches".

When it comes to trying to reconcile them with Cat Genetics, I generally read "Dappled" as "Spotted Tabby" (which I think comes from my lifelong history with horses) and "Mottled" as "Classic/Blotched/Swirled Tabby".

In the case of a tortie, I would read "Dappled" to be more of a smallish evenly mixed coat (something akin to a brindle, which I give a definition for later), and a Mottled to be... really exactly the same. The words Dappled and Mottled suffer here in that they're essentially synonyms.

For Brindle: In cats it means tortie that isn't in large patches. THIS is rather a nice visual example.

Tabby is a pattern, and Brindle is another word for Tortoiseshell (which is a color). So I would never take the word "brindled" to mean tabby. You can have "Dilute Brindle" (in which the black would become gray and the brown to a tan), explaining your definition and your hangup with the gray as possible. The word brindle originates in dogs, which work genetically different than cats. It's confusion that comes from taking a word meant for one species and applying it to another (you get the same issue with Dapple, except it comes from horses). As another note, theoretically you could get a Brindle cat /with/ a tabby pattern, but all of the layers of dilute would likely render both patterns and mess, and get something that looks more like a cat of variegated, indistinct pattern.

I hope this helps, and feel free to ask away on any other questions. 23:45, February 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Dappled and Mottled has no meaning intrinsically when it comes to cats. Based on what dappled and mottled mean in other contexts (horses and the parallel between mottled and blotched definition wise) they seem better matched to Spotted tabby and classic tabby to me. So they're opinions, but not unfounded ones rooted only in opinion.
 * If you plan to standardize the definitions, chances are there will be characters needing to be redone over this.

 * Just as an FYI, if you're going to teach them as "correct" it'll have to be backed by the project (I suggest writing it up, and then proposing it's adaptation as a rule with a discussion, followed by a vote when everything's settled). That way if there's ever a "But that's not how I interpret that rule" you'll have the whole "It's an accepted official definition, and thus to alter it you'll have to make a proposal and get it voted in" thing to fallback on. IMO standardizing definitions is a good plan (to the point where my RP has been spending a good bit of time standardizing our color-words-to-genetics interpretations). Since it's a wiki, though :) You can't just make decisions the way I can for CoSC. You gotta prove consensus. 00:47, February 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just making sure ;) You know me. I like to say things just on the off chance someone needs to hear it. 00:59, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Well... With white patterns they follow a basic set of rules. The color starts at the base of the ears and tail, and flows out from those points. The tail base typically coloring faster than the ear bases. The picture you linked might be a bit atypical, but it's well within rules (pigment production at the rear just outstripped the front and that led to some pigmentary strangeness on the thighs). The truly odd cats are those with colored legs and lacking the color at the tail and ears. In fact, I've never seen a photograph that deviated from the basic rule of "starts at the ears and tail". This is a representation of "typical". Though even atypical cats will fit within the basics, and just end up with half of it amped up or down.

Also, as a clarification on terminology: "Spotted" is generally used exclusively for the tabby pattern. What you you're asking about are "White markings", "white patterns", or "bicolor patterns". While I know this isn't useful for Warriors, it could potentially be useful for communicating about what you're referring to when talking to other artists. 13:42, February 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * The color starts from the base of the tail. You'll see 50% and less white cats with white tail tips, but hardly ever will you see a cat with large ammounts of color and a white tail tip (not impossible, just incredibly uncommon. 02:49, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Realized I forgot to answer part of the question. The gene for the white mittens is theoretical. It's undetermined yet if it's a sub-form of white spotting, a new gene or some sort of codominant thing. You'll find it in Snowshoes, mainly. It's entierly uncommon in everything else. Assuming it even exists. 02:51, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * This is why I inititally didn't specify where on the tail the color starts. It's... really more complicated. It's the issue with trying to simplfy something that's incredibly complex. The full-colored tail is the most common situation, and it stems from the fact that the bud of pigment cells starts at the base of the tail in-utero, at the time the tail is being formed. White tail tips are atypical in cats with less than about 40% color. And still rather uncommon in cats in the 41-60% color range. They're extremely rare in cats with larger amounts of color. I left white tail tips out of my image because I was showing "typical". Though in reality, 9B, 10A, and 10B on my chart are pretty uncommon. (part of the way the image is colored is a holdover of the Messybeast resource I redid to make it... I should probably go through and make some revisions one of these days, to keep the tail fully colored as 9A through the rest of the 9-10 range). 14:00, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Reflist
Hi! I fixed it; the problem was in R, and not in Reflist - a #switch was put on a new line. Kind regards, 17:52, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I just forgot about it. :D I fixed it now, by using the #tag option. Alternatively, if you don't wish to use #tag, you can write something like this:

Intro to the Wiki club thing :3
Hi Paleclaw! I just got a wiki account today and since I've noticed you're a senior member of this site, I'm wondering if you could explain a couple things for me :) Soz if I'm wasting your time!

-Signatures

-How the charart community works

-How you make those colorful boxes on people's pages

PS: I've already read an article on how the charart community works, but my 13 year old brain isnt really working right now :P

Bramblewind (talk) 00:42, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Hai againnn thanks for your intro it was really helpful :3 but i have another question ;{ If I want to do mudclaw's StarClan image, what should i do? :[] okeey thanks :) 06:23, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Okeey i read the guide lines of how the chart for reservations work but for some reason I can't edit the page to sumbit my name and what i want to make :( how did everyone else get int on there? 00:41, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

SHELLY
She ignored you and attacked. Where is she? CHAT. Where am I? NOT CHAT. Ask Breezewhisker about our chat. Just do it.☜User:Leapkit☠☯☁Talk☞ 06:39, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hi, Paleclaw. I'm Hawkmask121, a newbie on this wiki. You can call me Hawky, Hawkeh or Hawk if you like. Anyways, I would like to make a signature ( I know how) and I wanted to know if I could make a template page for it, just to be sure. Thanks, Hawkmask121 (Talk)

Re:
Do I need to go to Source mode to make the subpage? (I have before) Hawkmask121 (Talk)

Wow! You reply fast! I made the subpage, but then when I go in it says "create." Do I create the page? I know how to make a sig, I am just unsure about the page. Also, what do I title the page? Hawkmask121 (Talk)

Okay, I made the sig. I went to "My Preferences" and I am using wikitext, but it is not working. Also, how can I elevate the text to make it higher on the sig? See, if I put my sig it'll look like this:  23:49, February 18, 2013 (UTC) Hawkmask121 (Talk)

>8D
Eheheheh. Maybe it happened because of the baby. “Doctor,” she spoke as soft as the petal of the flower she was named for, “My Doctor, oh how I’ve missed you so.”  04:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hahano. And I'm eating all the snacks. “I’m trusting you, Rose. Please. please still be my Rose.”  04:59, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

At least you're not made of stone and can spit. Instead of clawed hands and a snarling face, The Weeping Angel was reaching out towards The Doctor with a longing expression on her stony face. 05:06, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Now that's a bit harsh. Then who would give you fantastic fanfictions? Leaning in to examine her pained face The Doctor only managed to whisper, “Rose?”  05:11, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not seeing what the hostility is for. c; “Rose Tyler, what happened to you?”   05:20, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Not as deeply as seeing Rose cut the Doctor. Leaning in too examine her pained face The Doctor only managed to whisper, “Rose?”  05:27, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Something of interest
Hey, you know, I have a friend in Italy and he visited the beach. Sent me this picture. Says he's finding them all over the beach.

And I told him that I too had found a rose abandoned on the beach. It's weird that such a thing can happen on two different continents at the same time. 17:21, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

you wanted it but you're not around so here enjoy my first fluff 08:31 Fri Feb 22

Another Question
Hi Paleclaw, it is Hawkmask121 again. I decided to make a charart for Emberkit, but I am unsure about the process with photoshop, then approval. Can you help me please? Also, if you use photoshop, what version do you use? Thanks, Hawkmask121(Talk)
