august edit notes

Epi, I rolled out your changes because I was in the middle of a major edit. They were, I believe, the addition of the pig and lion graphics. The pig went into the table nicely, but separate pictures for each type of big cat was something for which I didn't plan. I'm more than willing to work on it, though, if you have suggestions. --AtteSmythe 15:44, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

You also rolled over Thunderbird's edit of sound descriptions (apparently Big Cats make the same sounds as Cats), but I have no suggestions on the multiple Big Cat images. Technically, they're just different "colors" of Big Cat, so they're not completely necessary... --Rixation^(t/c) 15:47, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

Yep, I missed that edit. Gads, how I hate the conflict edit page. --AtteSmythe 15:49, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

Whenever I get the "conflicting edit" warning, I just open another tab with the Recent Changes page, see what got changed, then append that to my edit before saving. Either way, on thinking a bit more about the table, the "Sounds" column doesn't necessarily need the redundant pet name, it could simply list the sound that's given, just to condense it. As it is, 800x600 resolution with that table does...odd things. --Rixation^(t/c) 15:56, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

That's exactly what I did, but I didn't know the time at which I'd started editing, and there's no way to find out. So I only diffed the last edit instead of the previous one. I added some nowrapping to the sounds column. Feel free to play with it, I'm done for today. --AtteSmythe 16:01, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

Is the latest addition on the top line regarding the furniture items necessary, since they are already in the "See Also" section? Seems very redundant. The same question also applies to the latest entry on Animal. --Rixation^(t/c) 13:20, 6 August 2006 (PDT)

The 'This article refers to' should probably have familiar added to it, as well. --AtteSmythe 15:32, 6 August 2006 (PDT)

Governors and pets

Conquest tells me that she can have 5 pets that can roam the isle. --Piplicus

It's already in the article: An island's governor can set up to 5 pets to roam outside on the island. --Thunderbird 12:02, 13 August 2006 (PDT)

Sorry, I fail. I did actuallt try to read it, I did, honest! --Piplicus

Rat Colors

There are more than 7 primary rat colors. This picture: http://www.dracolair.com/ypp/6rats.jpg

shows 6 colors (not including yellow & white, also the brown is definately of a lighter smokey-brown color than the example given). Is the russet colour the one missing?.

Thanks for this comment - I would've missed the darker brown one if not for it. There appear to be nine colors, identical to the cat's secondary, and with the addition of black. I renamed "tabby" to "tawny" for the rat, since the definition fits and it seemed much more appropriate. --AtteSmythe 14:31, 15 August 2006 (PDT)

Individual Pet pages

Shall I go ahead with creating individual pages for each pet, or just redirect them to here? If I can get colour charts for each they would be at least as useful as the trinket pages. --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 16:41, 15 August 2006 (PDT)

Color charts for everything but the elephant (in progress) are already posted in the table. I think you're right that the pages for individual pets could be as useful as pages for individual trinkets. --AtteSmythe 16:44, 15 August 2006 (PDT)

Err, Thats a go ahead right?--Angelbeaver ^(talk) 17:22, 15 August 2006 (PDT)

As far as I'm concerned, aye. If someone disagrees, they'll mark it with a potential delete, and we'll have a discussion as a community. I think it'll be fine, though. --AtteSmythe 19:20, 15 August 2006 (PDT)

Limited Edition Pets

I added a separate area for limited edition pets, rather than leaving the simple note under cats. Major price difference, and limited time, made me feel it deserved a separate section. --Sashamorning 07:45, 26 October 2006 (PDT)

I think that's a very good call, and clean implementation. Thanks! --AtteSmythe 10:08, 26 October 2006 (PDT)

Time for someone with a lot of PoE buy the White Elephant and add it. --Arminius 21:46, 14 June 2007 (PDT)

/me shudders at doing the white elephant colors graphic. Maybe this weekend I can find the time to do it. --Guppymomma 22:04, 14 June 2007 (PDT)

I'm just obsessed and it was easier than I thought as I could use the template. --Guppymomma 22:19, 14 June 2007 (PDT)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that even though the doubloon price list shows two more limited edition pets, they shouldn't be put on the wiki until they're seen. I've already made that change. Sashamorning 14:18, 20 June 2007 (PDT)

I just found the following 'My pet' templates GCPP big cat and Crookshanks. I didn't even know they existed before. --Alfwyn 12:37, 1 March 2008 (PST)

Crabs

The generic name for a crab is Karkinos just as the generic name for a dog is Dog. Should we adjust the table to call it Karkinos rather than "crab"? --Barrister 11:40, 6 February 2008 (PST)

I just put crab as I thought that Karkinos was what the user had named it. I do agree that does sound more appropriate. Klostro 11:46, 6 February 2008 (PST)

Just as a heads up, Wikipedia states that Karkinos was the name of the crab that bit Heracles' heel in his battle with the Lernaean Hydra, but was crushed under Heracles' foot in the midst of battle. With this in mind and the ringers using greek mythology all the time, the crab is most likely called Karkinos, and not crab. (Just as a heads up) --Makingpoe 1:18, 6 February 2008 (PST)

Small Dog

Hi! I don't want to break the page, and I don't know how to add small dog, but there are some pics: Image:SmallDogInv.png Image:Smalldog-bluegrey.png

There are also some more pics in this thread =). Hope this helps! Adrielle =) 07:27, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Persimmon Rats and small dog

Hi. We need to add some sort of persimmon rat picture and small dog section as Adrielle said. I don't know the name of the rat but they are part of the special for the release of Crimson like the mala-rat. Thanks, Ceary. Ceary 00:57, 30 July 2009 (EST)

The new rat color is on the rat page =D Adrielle =) 08:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll do this as soon as I remember and have the time. That said, there's no special name for the persimmon rat, though I've heard people call it persimmo-rat on the pattern of mala-rat. Thing is, mala-rat comes from mala-cat, which is itself a pun on Malachite. There's no similar pun for the persimmon rat, so I think we'll just call it "persimmon rat" on the pattern of "black cat" and "black dog". --Belthazar451 23:23, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Stout Hound?

I know that the Stout hound is mentioned in the dog page but the black dog it on here and there... so shouldn't we help those who wanta see all the pets have an easier chance of seeing them all?

Can we include a pic of the dog and this description please?? What do you think? I don't know how to do that...

The limited edition black/tawny stout hound was available around St. Patrick's Day 2009 at the palace shoppe for 50,000 Pieces of Eight, and, on doubloon oceans, 50 doubloons. Ceary 19:05, 05 August 2009 (EST)

For that we'd need a screenshot of stout hound in-game. Do you have one, or know a pirate who does? --Belthazar451 23:23, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

This is Ellenya's: Adrielle =) 02:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I added the Stout Hound. I hope it's alright that I also re-ordered the limited edition pets in order of when they were made available (earliest to latest). --Jenhonk 03:28, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Cool =) It looks fine to me =D Adrielle =) 03:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Golden Sheep

I added the golden sheep to the limited edition so everyone knows bout it. I hope I did it right. Please edit it if it's not fully correct. S: I made a bad error . but fixed it. Sorry.. Coding can be complicated when it comes to tables. Thanks. Ceary 08:25, 25 August 2009 (EST)

It looks fine to me =D - I just took the color table link off because the other limited edition pets that only come in one colour didn't have the link to a colour table. Adrielle =) 12:34, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Not specific to the golden sheep, but the different width of the images for the limited pets make the table look untidy. The other pets use a 100px width, can this be done for the limited pets too, or do we need more pixel? The White Elephant and the long name of the golden sheep are currently the limiting cases. --Alfwyn 13:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the limiting cases are the excessive amount of space around the mala-cat and mala-rat images - I've been meaning to trim them for a while, but have never gotten around to it. The black and white elephant images are only eight pixels too wide - they can easily lose some. The sheep, admittedly, could do with a shorter name. On the other hand, some of them are too narrow, probably because the person who uploaded them got the dimensions backwards (they're mostly at least 100px tall). They'll need a new screenshot altogether. The small dog as well. I do, however, heartily agree that they should be made a consistent width. --Belthazar451 21:23, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
