Hi. I've changed your tag on this one. You used db-blank, but I think db-blanked is more appropriate, as the user had blanked the page. Confusing pair of tags, those. I've never seen db-blank before - I always use db-content (and get confused with -context). Peridon ( talk) 23:14, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

22:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is Hurricanehink ( submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H. Piotrus ( submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered " vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Bramble, I was just about to review this article for GAR, but stopped myself. I understand that it was delisted and failed its first GAN for the same reason: sources. This is my feelings about sources and GAs: GAs have less stringent requirements than FAs, so its sources shouldn't be subject to the same requirements as FAs. However, unless you find better sources, I can tell you that it will not pass as an FA--ever. I know that an issue for this article, and all Warrior books, is sources, and I understand what that's like. It may simply be the case that the sources are unavailable to this article to be comprehensive. As a reviewer, I take that into account, so the sources wouldn't be an issue for me.
There is something else that is an issue for me, and is what stopped my review. There is really just one thing that will prevent this article from returning to GA-status, at least for me. The prose is very problematic. I think that for it to pass, you need a comprehensive copyedit. To illustrate my point, let's talk about the first sentence after the lead: :Although the book was written by Cherith Baldry, the pseudonym Erin Hunter was used, as several authors write the Warriors series. Technically, using the word "as" here is correct, but why say "as" when you really mean "because"? It's simpler language. It's also simpler language to never start a sentence with a conjunction ("although"), although again, it's technically correct. This is how I would change it: The book was written by Cherith Baldry, but the pseudonym Erin Hunter was used because several authors write the Warriors series. The article is full of this kind of thing. It makes for awkward and unclear prose.
So here's what I suggest. I would be willing to copyedit the article, but it probably means the article would look very different by the time I'm done. And I'm sure other editors would find issues with my use of prose as well. I also suggest that you remove its GAN until this happens. Let me know what you think. Blowing me off is fine too, but you should know that I doubt that it'd pass in its current state. And it certainly wouldn't pass an FAC, sourcing issues or no.

The article Moonrise (Warriors) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed.

Hello BrambleclawX,
I have been thinking about making some changes to WikiProject Cats, and I was wondering if you might be able to help me or offer some suggestions. In the past months I have not been as active on Wikipedia as I once was and my watchlist has become so long that I often miss changes that are being made to the WikiProject Cats project page. Normally I like to greet any new participants and check the talk page to see if there are any concerns.
I am thinking about changing things and making my contact info more visible so that if people have any important questions, they can contact me directly. I hesitate to do this as I do not want to claim tsardom over WikiProject Cats; moreover, I know that there will be times when I will be away from Wikipedia for weeks at a time, so I feel I would need some assistance. Essentially, I would like to set up some sort of WikiProject Cats small work group – a committee or council – and, knowing of the kind of work you do here on Wikipedia, I thought you might have the right combination of skill and interested to be involved.
My first aim is just to make WikiProject Cats more accessible to new participants so that we can retain interested members. A more distant aim I have in mind (if I ever find enough time and energy (I have a tendency to be a bit of a WikiSloth)) is to start periodic newsletters to encourage involvement. If you have any interest in being more involved in WikiProject Cats, know of someone who is, or would just like to send me your opinions, give me a ring!

B, you've either got magical powers like those Cats you like so much, or you've been reading my sandbox. I was writing some feedback as I've been copyediting Moonrise (Warriors) there, and then when I finished, I was going to cut-and-paste it into the talk page. Should I just put it there now? At any rate, I'm very impressed! ;) Christine ( talk) 15:04, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Brambleclawx, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature should have little to no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Sadads ( talk) 11:26, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Rollback is a privilege, not a right, and this edit by you shows either ignorance of what my actual edit was, or you don't care that rollback is only to be used in clear, irrefutable instances of vandalism or else it can get taken away. If you are unfamiliar with rollbacking privileges I recommend you read up on them. Jrcla2 ( talk) 23:22, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Update: I have provided basic background by email to the admins involved - Boing and Zero - (to a point they can understand the background but not to the point of breaching privacy policy), as a first step, to see whether they believe the matter can be dealt with on-wiki. If there is consensus it can be addressed on-wiki then this information will be posted at WP:ANI for the community to discuss and to also consider how to avoid it in future. If consensus is that it cannot easily or safely be resolved on-wiki, I will suggest the matter is treated per Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Confidential evidence and referred to Arbcom to decide upon. There's a good chance it can be handled safely on-wiki but I'd like to consult briefly before making such a call, in case I'm wrong or others aren't convinced.
I hope all involved will hold off any posts or escalation until we at least have clarity of consultation whether it can be handled on-wiki. Hopefully as all concerned are active right now, we'll have this within a short while (24 hrs latest). Thanks. FT2 ( Talk | email) 00:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

You tagged an article I'm working on, The Sign of Diolyx (The Tomorrow People), as needing more references. This is an audio adventure and is largely self-referential. In comparing it to similar Doctor Who audios from the same company (i.e. Sirens of Time), I don't see where it differs other than the fact that it needs to be fleshed out more (which is what I'm working on). Please let me know what type of references you think it's lacking so I can improve it. The first two audios in the series were not tagged, but another editor tagged the one before it, The Ghosts of Mendez (The Tomorrow People), with similar notes to yours. Thank you.

hi, I am struggling with this wiki thing and my page has been deleted though the text was checked by Alberto Portugheis. I guess I just can't get my head around all the technical stuff being a 70 year old gran trying wiki editing for the first time and being inept. When a page has been deleted, can I have another go? I have re done the text and will have a go at validating the photos, which were provided by Alberto Portugheis himself and he he assures me that he can use them freely. I'm scared of it all now! So much for a world wide encyclopaedia to which we can add entries! I want to learn more but am unnerved by the messages I am getting and the deletion. Normaprocter ( talk) 09:45, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. So good to have a humane human outthere to calm my nerves! I'll try to find the page right now. I didn't actually copy that sentence ( and it was only one sentence). Ironically, it was the sentence Alberto himself added. He tells me that everytime someone asks him how to describe himself, he always uses that first phrase. Hence, I suppose, journalists and publicity people have used it over and over. I just didn't question it as it was such a neat sentence! right. Thanks again. I am now going to brave the page again.

I hope this is the correct place to answer you. First, many thanks for your helpful emails. Second, I followed the links to about you. Very interesting. Glad you love classical music so much. I will ask Alberto Portgheis to be in touch when he next comes to Canada. I see you are listed as 16 and gifted. you are clearly that. I have a grandson of the same age, gifted in mathematics. As for my piece on Alberto, I would be happy for you to do what you think is correct in terms of editing. Your help is so straightforward... but I still get nervous. Alberto is following the link the provided to sort out photo copyrights in giving me permission, but another helper advises photographs can be a mine field, so it might be better not to use the ones from his past. If I am replying in the wrong slot, tell me where to do it, please. Normaprocter ( talk) 08:24, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for answering, Princess. I appreciate the help, and you've put it a lot better than I could've. Anyway, OpenFuture, like the warning I originally posted on your talk page says, do not edit war, even if you think you are right. Unless it is a blatant attack of some sort, just leave it there, and start a talk page discussion. That would be the best way to resolve things. By the way, you've got a 3rd opinion for redistribution of wealth now. If someone disagrees with the 3rd opinion, I guess you could look for a couple more neutral opinions. That way, a consensus can be established. (and then, once there is a consensus, only then might it be appropriate to label someone as disruptive: right now, without any real, visible consensus, it makes no sense labelling anyone as disruptive, because you're both being equally disruptive by edit warring. If things get really sticky, you may need to ask for Mediation. Bramble claw x 15:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
I have just uploaded a photo to the Wikimedia commons under the CC Share-Alike 3.0 license. I understand that I have to email permissions-commons wikimedia DOT org. Do you know if I can forward this email from the photographer, or if it has to be directly from him? I only ask because it would be easier to forward it (then I would get any replies, rather than the photographer, who would probably have to ask me what to do with them anyway...), but perhaps then there is no way of verifying the original email address of the photographer.

The article Michel Colomban has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

But below the list of references it looks like this: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Is that correct? Or should those go away because each reference already is linked?

Hi Brambleclawx, I have one last fix to the Robert Kelly (artist) article. I tried repointing the article formerly entitled Robert W. Kelly to Robert Kelly (artist). So now the article title is correct, but when one searches for Robert Kelly (artist) it still returns the article as Robert W. Kelly under the "other" category. He is a somewhat public figure and is known as an artist and it seems better that his article should appear under the top section "media" as Robert Kelly (artist). Is there some way to fix this? THANK YOU for your patience with me. I have other articles I'd like to tackle on some photographers and want to move on from this one... Artandimage ( talk) 16:40, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Ha, it's nice to talk again. Hopefully I'll be around this place indefinitely, tweaking stuff here and there. I'd be more than happy to help with book articles.

Hey Brambleclawx - I was wondering if you could direct me to a spot where I could find out more about the coding used in articles throughout Wikipedia.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of ThunderClan cats is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ThunderClan cats until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) ( talk) 10:57, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I have requested a Deletion Review which can be found at
Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 June 27#List of ThunderClan cats. It just plain shocks me that idiot airheads in my opinion have such control over what appears to me to be fine work by you and the many other editors that have been diligently been working on. It appears that the hatchet is going to be used on other subpages. I have requested that if they are deleted you are to have the articles userfied to you per your prior request (and as article(s) creator). Your articles really are highly relevant to Wikipedia.

Since you're an active participant in both animal- and literature-related WikiProjects, you may be interested in WikiProject Animals in media. (I'm not trying to be impersonal, I swear, I just don't know what to say). It covers the presence of all animals in literature, television, film, and theatre. We really need help getting off the ground, especially since there's quite a bit to tag. Brambleberry of RiverClan Chat ♠ Watch 14:32, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

22:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is Hurricanehink ( submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H. Piotrus ( submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered " vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Bramble, I was just about to review this article for GAR, but stopped myself. I understand that it was delisted and failed its first GAN for the same reason: sources. This is my feelings about sources and GAs: GAs have less stringent requirements than FAs, so its sources shouldn't be subject to the same requirements as FAs. However, unless you find better sources, I can tell you that it will not pass as an FA--ever. I know that an issue for this article, and all Warrior books, is sources, and I understand what that's like. It may simply be the case that the sources are unavailable to this article to be comprehensive. As a reviewer, I take that into account, so the sources wouldn't be an issue for me.
There is something else that is an issue for me, and is what stopped my review. There is really just one thing that will prevent this article from returning to GA-status, at least for me. The prose is very problematic. I think that for it to pass, you need a comprehensive copyedit. To illustrate my point, let's talk about the first sentence after the lead: :Although the book was written by Cherith Baldry, the pseudonym Erin Hunter was used, as several authors write the Warriors series. Technically, using the word "as" here is correct, but why say "as" when you really mean "because"? It's simpler language. It's also simpler language to never start a sentence with a conjunction ("although"), although again, it's technically correct. This is how I would change it: The book was written by Cherith Baldry, but the pseudonym Erin Hunter was used because several authors write the Warriors series. The article is full of this kind of thing. It makes for awkward and unclear prose.
So here's what I suggest. I would be willing to copyedit the article, but it probably means the article would look very different by the time I'm done. And I'm sure other editors would find issues with my use of prose as well. I also suggest that you remove its GAN until this happens. Let me know what you think. Blowing me off is fine too, but you should know that I doubt that it'd pass in its current state. And it certainly wouldn't pass an FAC, sourcing issues or no.

Hello BrambleclawX,
I have been thinking about making some changes to WikiProject Cats, and I was wondering if you might be able to help me or offer some suggestions. In the past months I have not been as active on Wikipedia as I once was and my watchlist has become so long that I often miss changes that are being made to the WikiProject Cats project page. Normally I like to greet any new participants and check the talk page to see if there are any concerns.
I am thinking about changing things and making my contact info more visible so that if people have any important questions, they can contact me directly. I hesitate to do this as I do not want to claim tsardom over WikiProject Cats; moreover, I know that there will be times when I will be away from Wikipedia for weeks at a time, so I feel I would need some assistance. Essentially, I would like to set up some sort of WikiProject Cats small work group – a committee or council – and, knowing of the kind of work you do here on Wikipedia, I thought you might have the right combination of skill and interested to be involved.
My first aim is just to make WikiProject Cats more accessible to new participants so that we can retain interested members. A more distant aim I have in mind (if I ever find enough time and energy (I have a tendency to be a bit of a WikiSloth)) is to start periodic newsletters to encourage involvement. If you have any interest in being more involved in WikiProject Cats, know of someone who is, or would just like to send me your opinions, give me a ring!

Hi Brambleclawx, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles.

Rollback is a privilege, not a right, and this edit by you shows either ignorance of what my actual edit was, or you don't care that rollback is only to be used in clear, irrefutable instances of vandalism or else it can get taken away.

Update: I have provided basic background by email to the admins involved - Boing and Zero - (to a point they can understand the background but not to the point of breaching privacy policy), as a first step, to see whether they believe the matter can be dealt with on-wiki. If there is consensus it can be addressed on-wiki then this information will be posted at WP:ANI for the community to discuss and to also consider how to avoid it in future. If consensus is that it cannot easily or safely be resolved on-wiki, I will suggest the matter is treated per Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Confidential evidence and referred to Arbcom to decide upon. There's a good chance it can be handled safely on-wiki but I'd like to consult briefly before making such a call, in case I'm wrong or others aren't convinced.
I hope all involved will hold off any posts or escalation until we at least have clarity of consultation whether it can be handled on-wiki. Hopefully as all concerned are active right now, we'll have this within a short while (24 hrs latest). Thanks. FT2 ( Talk | email) 00:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

You tagged an article I'm working on, The Sign of Diolyx (The Tomorrow People), as needing more references. This is an audio adventure and is largely self-referential. In comparing it to similar Doctor Who audios from the same company (i.e. Sirens of Time), I don't see where it differs other than the fact that it needs to be fleshed out more (which is what I'm working on). Please let me know what type of references you think it's lacking so I can improve it. The first two audios in the series were not tagged, but another editor tagged the one before it, The Ghosts of Mendez (The Tomorrow People), with similar notes to yours. Thank you.

hi, I am struggling with this wiki thing and my page has been deleted though the text was checked by Alberto Portugheis. I guess I just can't get my head around all the technical stuff being a 70 year old gran trying wiki editing for the first time and being inept. When a page has been deleted, can I have another go? I have re done the text and will have a go at validating the photos, which were provided by Alberto Portugheis himself and he he assures me that he can use them freely. I'm scared of it all now!

Thanks. So good to have a humane human outthere to calm my nerves! I'll try to find the page right now. I didn't actually copy that sentence ( and it was only one sentence). Ironically, it was the sentence Alberto himself added. He tells me that everytime someone asks him how to describe himself, he always uses that first phrase. Hence, I suppose, journalists and publicity people have used it over and over. I just didn't question it as it was such a neat sentence! right. Thanks again. I am now going to brave the page again.

Alberto is following the link the provided to sort out photo copyrights in giving me permission, but another helper advises photographs can be a mine field, so it might be better not to use the ones from his past.

Thank you for answering, Princess. I appreciate the help, and you've put it a lot better than I could've. Anyway, OpenFuture, like the warning I originally posted on your talk page says, do not edit war, even if you think you are right. Unless it is a blatant attack of some sort, just leave it there, and start a talk page discussion. That would be the best way to resolve things. By the way, you've got a 3rd opinion for redistribution of wealth now. If someone disagrees with the 3rd opinion, I guess you could look for a couple more neutral opinions. That way, a consensus can be established. (and then, once there is a consensus, only then might it be appropriate to label someone as disruptive: right now, without any real, visible consensus, it makes no sense labelling anyone as disruptive, because you're both being equally disruptive by edit warring. If things get really sticky, you may need to ask for Mediation. Bramble claw x 15:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
I have just uploaded a photo to the Wikimedia commons under the CC Share-Alike 3.0 license. I understand that I have to email permissions-commons wikimedia DOT org.

I only ask because it would be easier to forward it (then I would get any replies, rather than the photographer, who would probably have to ask me what to do with them anyway...), but perhaps then there is no way of verifying the original email address of the photographer.

Hi Brambleclawx, I have one last fix to the Robert Kelly (artist) article. I tried repointing the article formerly entitled Robert W. Kelly to Robert Kelly (artist). So now the article title is correct, but when one searches for Robert Kelly (artist) it still returns the article as Robert W. Kelly under the "other" category. He is a somewhat public figure and is known as an artist and it seems better that his article should appear under the top section "media" as Robert Kelly (artist). Is there some way to fix this? THANK YOU for your patience with me. I have other articles I'd like to tackle on some photographers and want to move on from this one... Artandimage ( talk) 16:40, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah ( talk) 19:26, 16 April 2012 (UTC) |
I just cleared my watchlist. All 4,040 pages. It feels liberating. I've been kind of out of the loop for nearly a year; what's up? Airplaneman ✈ 17:31, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Ha, it's nice to talk again. Hopefully I'll be around this place indefinitely, tweaking stuff here and there. I'd be more than happy to help with book articles. To explain away my relative inactivity, I'm just not really motivated to contribute much anymore. To be quite honest, the environment has gotten to be quite toxic around here. The additional janitorial functions of being an admin certainly have to do with it, but I feel that this place as a whole has really soured its mood in the past year or so :(.
Bcx, your watchlist thoughts are mine exactly. I may as well start from scratch! I've been considering shooting Jubilee and email. Maybe I have already; I don't remember. Airplaneman ✈ 03:26, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Hmm yea maybe a bit late... I've gotten more or less used to functioning off little sleep. And I sort of agree with you. Sometimes I want to say, "begone, o mighty computer!" only to log onto Wikipedia an hour later. Airplaneman ✈ 00:49, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey Brambleclawx - I was wondering if you could direct me to a spot where I could find out more about the coding used in articles throughout Wikipedia. I just saw a "div class" one and am unsure of what it actually means. Of course it looks the same, so I have no idea what's going on. I am pretty good at copying and pasting the code and applying it to myself, but that's about it so far. It's helped me on my userpage and signature, but not as much in the "real world". Looks like you definitely know your stuff... 'CurlyPop88 ( talk) 08:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Well, thanks once again to my very helpful tps's. Bramble claw x 22:18, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Brambleclawx, You were so fantastic helping me with several entries about artists recently. I just created a new article for Wikipedia and I am confused because at the top of the page it say the article has not been submitted for review, but at the bottom of the entry it says it has. Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Valdir_Cruz Any thoughts? I just want to make sure I didn't screw it all up.

Hey there BCx, remember me? I sure do remember you! You were one of the coolest editors on here, and I figured I would come back to your user talk despite my "retirement."
PS: I see the List of Warriors Cats page is up for deletion. Such a darn shame, I'm sure you worked hard on it!
PSS: Stay cool.(; I'm Flightx52 and I approve this message 05:24, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

I have requested a Deletion Review which can be found at
Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 June 27#List of ThunderClan cats. It just plain shocks me that idiot airheads in my opinion have such control over what appears to me to be fine work by you and the many other editors that have been diligently been working on. It appears that the hatchet is going to be used on other subpages. I have requested that if they are deleted you are to have the articles userfied to you per your prior request (and as article(s) creator). Your articles really are highly relevant to Wikipedia.

Since you're an active participant in both animal- and literature-related WikiProjects, you may be interested in WikiProject Animals in media. (I'm not trying to be impersonal, I swear, I just don't know what to say). It covers the presence of all animals in literature, television, film, and theatre. We really need help getting off the ground, especially since there's quite a bit to tag. Brambleberry of RiverClan Chat ♠ Watch 14:32, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

...and I think I made my first-ever edit to ANI today. It's a scary place. Airplaneman ✈ 21:32, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Hmm I dont know I just realized it was really close it says 3 years and My first edit was around June or so 3 years ago. So I guess it might be then and not now. Not sure though. BlackDragon 21:08, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
