[edit] A Small Note

I would like to ask that when anyone is editing the pages, please only put things in that are confirmed facts. As in Cherith of Kate have said them, directly. It is very vauge to say "So and so becomes such and such/dies/has kits". This is especially true for the Twilight and Sunset sections. If you do not provide a source, I will assume it's faulty and may take the liberty of removing it.

I agree with the deletion of links, there are plenty of other sites to post those on. --Dusk 20:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I would like to comment on an example of what Duskstripe is saying. A few weeks ago in August 2006, someone had added to the Twilight section about who had died, and other very big spoilers. Although I knew it to be true, it should be removed from the article because it does not fit with the layour of the other books. Thank you for your time. Sunset7611

[edit] What Happened to the Character List?

What happened to the character list? I thought that was a major part, and should stay.

--Moonshimmer 04:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The character list is now on it's own page.

Kitsufox 20:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What happened to all of the other things, too?

There used to be a character page, and a list of herbs, too! Where did it go? I agree with Moonshimmer, and all of that stuff should stay. If it makes the article too long, there should be another article on it. Also, there isn't really much description on each book; it's just the blurb at the back of the book.

--SapphireSprite 15:47, 1 August 2006

All of these things are now on their own page. *Ruby

[edit] Not to be overly forward but...

Hello. I am an avid fan of Warriors, and find this page in sorry, sorry condition. Can I please have a list of the major contributors to Warriors novels so that we might begin collaboration for this page? First off, the clean-up and formal tone tags must be addressed. The book descriptions are basically ripped from the book's inside covers, and must be reworded. Also, if someone might upload images of the covers, that would be excellent. Thank you. DoomsDay349 23:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for adressing that problem. I edit this page a lot, so you can add me to the list.

Thanks --Res2216firestar 20:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I suppose you could add me also. I edit this page often as well, and I do agree that the article could be much better. The article is extremely better than that horrendous state it was in after we "started anew" with it, but it does need improving. I just can't think of how to clean it up properly, etc, etc. Wikipedia's rather vague sometimes...

Oh, and somehow, this, along with a few other sections, were deleted... I restored this one. TakaraLioness 19:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Basically, the book summaries sound like they were ripped from the inside jackets. They need to be more formal. I'll try to get to it. DoomsDay349 01:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

You're right. I'll try to work on it also, but I can't really make promises. I'm rather busy...

TakaraLioness 23:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I plan to begin as soon as I finish Twilight. DoomsDay349 23:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, I have finished Twilight and plan to begin work. Firstly, we have to resolve the formal tone issue. The problem with that is the fact that this page has book summaries that sound like they were ripped from the jacket or a fan-site. As for clean-up, we'll want to consider splitting this page and adding more here. What we need is a History and Influence section (which we can hopefully dig up from chats, etc.) a short main storyline, a section on the movie rumor, and links to the other Warriors-related Wikipedia articles. Then, external links. The ones we have there are alright now. As for clan organization and terms, I suggest an article on Clan (Warriors), which would include those and summaries of the four clans. We may also have enough material for a ThunderClan article, but not the other three Clans. The article on Warriors characters is decent, but could be better. The articles on Firestar and Graytstripe need expansion. The list of NP chars is same as the other list. What we need are aritcles on the other major cats; Bluestar, Tigerstar, Tallstar, Brambleclaw, Cinderpelt, Leafpool, Squirrelflight, Stormfur, Feathertail (Warriors), Crowfeather, Hawkfrost, Mudclaw, Sandstorm (Warriors), Dustpelt, and possibly others. Like I said, a ThunderClan article would also be useful, where we could include a list of cats not important enough for a whole article, such as Rainwhisker, for instance. Now then, the list of novels here should be moved to List of Warriors novels, made to meet formal tone, set in cite book format, and given a short summary. That sums my plans for now. DoomsDay349 01:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

For character pages, maybe we should decide on a standard format, or see about an Infobox or something like that... That way we could create some consistancy between the various parts of the greater artical...

Kitsufox 20:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

In addition, I think I will start a Category:Warriors, although we can't call it that because there almost certainly is one...perhaps Category:Warriors (books series)? Dunno. DoomsDay349 01:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've done some work. Firstly, the new Category:Warriors (book series) has been created. It only has four articles as of yet but hopefully this will be expanded as we add articles on novels and characters. Secondly, the two lists of Warriors characters and Warriors: The New Prophecy characters have been merged and moved to List of Warriors characters. Graystripe (book series) has been moved to Graystripe. There's not much more I can do until I check out the Warriors book from the library, aside from re-write the section on Twilight, as I've still got it. Then, I plan to rewrite Midnight, Moonrise, and Starlight which I own. I'll do the rest when I get them out of the library. DoomsDay349 22:52, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Erin Hunter

Who is under the pen name Erin Hunter? Sr13 18:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Please note that this talk page is not for discussion of the general topic. There is likely a forum to ask this question. However, to answer, I believe it is Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry, both under the pen name so that the library cataloging system will have an easier time of it. Please take further questions elsewhere. DoomsDay349 18:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another article?

I was the one that had put in the problem with Sorrltail's apprentiship a few days ago since it doesn't need to be in the Book Series article how about one called Warriors Inconsistences or something. That problem could go there as well as anything that anyone else has noticed. Now I personally like the series alot but for the Warriors articles to be their best, I feel we should the inconsistences like some other articles have Critisms. After all nothing is perfect and Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral. What does everyone think? Turtlepaw

I don't think that could get its own article... What about just a section of it on this page or something like that?

TakaraLioness 03:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

That could work... where on the page? Turtlepaw

Trust me, that'll be deleted as fancruft. Don't bother. DoomsDay349 18:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Informaton Corrected

I've corrected a section that claims that the Warriors Series has Outsold Harry Potter books. I've included links to refrences and explained where the misconception that most Warriors fans have taken up as thier War-cry in the 'WARRIORS MOVIE' crusade.

I simply am noting in here so that more people than I fully aware of the truth of the situation.

[edit] Archived Links List Talk

In light of the level of final that in place for the links list discussion, I've archived it. However livly the discussion was, it was a waste of space, as the rules clearly state it's against them. Thusly, we're done discussing it. Those of us working on the Warriors Page have more important matters on our hands, such as getting our artical perfected.

I've added book covers this morning, also.

Kitsufox 14:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need more help?

I've never really changed anything on Wiki before, so bear with me. But if there are any articles that still need re-written, throw 'em at me. It might take a while, I'm a busy person, but I'm willing to help!Featherpaw 18:17~November 28, 2006~

[edit] Rising Storm Book Cover

The Cover in the article isn't the only one. Canadien stores have a entirly diffrent one. It should be added. (Idon't now how) Google Erin Hunter Rising Storm and you'll see. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.156.28.69 (talk) 20:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

Rising Storm's cover varies depending on the version. The paperback's version has Fireheart and Sandstorm, while the hardcover (the one displayed on the page) has Firestar and Cloudpaw.
