To-Do[edit]

I've looked over the article, and I think that the following things need to be done:

Split the Plot Summary into sections (Leader Ceremony, Gathering, Battle against Bloodclan)
Add a proper lead

Please feel free to add to it. Cheers, Corvus coronoides _talk 21:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The sections of the plot summary are very good. Can we try that with the other book articles? And as for the lead, I'll try to work on that when I have time. Shrewpelt 12:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like we shouldn't split the plot summary into sections. It's supposed to be a summary, and the whole thing looks a little too drawn-out and long to be that. There are too many details, such as the list of Firestar's lives which should really just be found at his section on the list of characters. What does everyone think? I'm going to leave it up for a while but I'm probably going to go and edit it after that. Swiftink (talk) 23:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Swiftink[reply]

Really? I thought it should stay the way it is. Ian (talk) 03:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"See Also"[edit]

What's the point of the "Seel Also" section? It's already covered in the Warriors box at the bottom.01:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Inkpelt (talk • contribs)

Exactly. I believe I was the one who added them in (At least most of them) there at first, when the character pages were first made. I'm not sure why, really. :P But, yeah, they can just be removed. --~|ET|~(^{Talk|Contribs}) 01:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Literary significance & criticism "[edit]

I cant find a book critic or a famous person named Hillary Williamson anywhere on Google. -=Elfin=-³⁴¹ 01:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Traitor. Check out the Wikiholism test. Ian (talk) 03:30, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Warriorsbook6.jpg[edit]

Image:Warriorsbook6.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

5th clan[edit]

Im not so sure that they were talking about skyclan when they said there was always 5 i think they were talking about starclan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.111.148 (talk) 06:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're right. Firestar wasn't talking about SkyClan when he delivered that line. I'll fix it. With Bluestar's earlier line about there having always been five Clans, I think I remember Vicky saying that had a double-meaning, but for Firestar, not so much (at least not yet).

Yeah, but in the special edition Firestar's Quest, which happens right after Darkest Hour, Firestar goes to find Skyclan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.119.236 (talk) 18:15, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
