[edit] Um...

Uh, yeah, no one has been posting anything lately. Should we just take this as a blessing of zero vandals and move on?  Spottedstripe(Talk2Me) 23:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I can deal with that blessing; welcome it even. :) Bella Swan 21:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Heh, amen to that.  Spottedstripe(Talk2Me) 21:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I second that. :D TakaraLioness 21:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lead

We need a better lead for this article. However, I haven't the faintest idea of what should be put in. That is why I'm bringing this up here - any suggestions? And, of course, feel free to try some things out yourself to try and improve it. --~|ET|~(Talk|Contribs) 19:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

What part of the current lead exactly needs improving? It looks pretty "encyclopedic" as it is, if you ask me. Spottedstar 20:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
It just looks cluttered to me... I think we could come up with something more than a very brief description of what the books are about, and then a list of the books and when they came out (That's the cluttered part). --~|ET|~(Talk|Contribs) 20:49, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, that's true. Well, the only part we MUST keep in the lead is where it says, "Warriors is a series of fantasy novels written by Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry, with their editor Victoria Holmes, under the pen name Erin Hunter". All the other stuff, as you said, just gives descriptions of the series itself, which is what the article's for. So I'm not too sure what to replace it with, but my opinion on it is to keep that quoted part. Spottedstar 20:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I think one problem with the lead is that it just mentions the first name of the book in the particular series. We probably should remove all titles of actual books and just have the names of the series within the Warriors universe. That might help clear up some confusion.  Bella Swan(Talk!) 22:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Someone just added all the names of the books in the series in the lead section and I don't think that that's good considering that...

a) We're being too specific according to WP:LEAD and b) You don't put the name of a book in quotation marks; you italicize it. I just thought that I would tell people here so that if someone would like to argue this point, they're welcome to, but for now, I'm reverting it. Bella Swan 01:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wait a Second...

The Clan of the spirits of warriors who died are called StarClan, not SkyClan. I know I'm right because I read the series myself. Also, you people might have to fix that page because when I made that small change, the old one disappeared! Sorry but I don't know how that happened though, but we might have to rewrite what we had. I really apologize for this if you're ticked, but I just wanted to change what is wrong. Alpha296 21:10, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. The ancestors are called StarClan, not SkyClan, but the link in the template isn't linking to StarClan, which you will notice if you click it... We don't have a list of StarClan cats article. Look at the Clan article to learn what SkyClan is. TakaraLioness 21:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm really sorry, guys! I didn't know SkyClan was a article about characters from Firestar's Quest.

I thought you were refering to StarClan by the name of it. Forgive me, my mistake! Alpha296 21:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

It's alright. :) Anyone could make that mistake if they hadn't read FQ. TakaraLioness 21:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warriors Book 3: Forest of Secrets

I just want to let y'all know that you made an error in the article, but don't worry about it because I just changed it. And if you don't mind, I think Warriors: Forest of Secrets could use a little more detail. I just finished reading it today, and the article could use more detail to make it more interesting. Will it be okay if I add a little more information to the plot summary? Alpha296 20:31, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead. You know the policy of Wikipedia: Be bold! Just try not to make anything biased or something like that.  Spottedstripe(Talk2Me) 18:32, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Lost Warrior Plot

Um. No offense to whoever wrote it but the plot summary for The Lost Warrior is kinda... bleh. I think I mentioned the article once before sometime. ~Rainpaw —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.239.216.52 (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

One question. Why was this put on this talk page instead of The Lost Warrior's talk page? And it's actually two questions... Well, you can just edit it if you don't feel that it's very good (I'm not saying I do, but you're fully capable of editing yourself...), so why didn't you? Yes, I know discussion is good, but if something is wrong/just plain bad (like this), then go ahead and be bold and change it. --~|ET|~(Talk|Contribs) 20:06, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hm. I guess I could try but I stink at writing. Give me a bit... ~Rainpaw

P.S. Oops. I had two windows open at once and accidently put the topic here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.215.85.163 (talk) 18:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

There. ~Rainpaw —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.215.85.163 (talk) 18:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
