Since we've started, let's start doing some work. I'll be drafting the revamped outline of Percy Jackson & the Olympians page this weekend, and I'll post it here once I finish it. However, our biggest headache remains to be the The Last Olympian page and the The Demigod Files page. I really doubt that we can expand the TLO page prior to release if we aren't allowed to put in the preview and known facts section. Therefore, we either let it remain a stub status until release, or we'll put back the two sects or find something else to put in. As for the TDF page, I just fixed the format and things today; however, we have to find something other than summaries to put in. The same thing also applys to all PJ books. I'd say we break this taskforce into three main parts for now:
Part One: Main Page Cleanup
Cleanup the PJ main page, and create new sections. I believe we can follow the example of Harry Potter and Narnia and so on. I'll be drafting a outline recently.
Part Two: Expand All Book Pages
Most of the book pages of PJ only contains "Plot", "Summary", "Characters", and "See also". I'd say adding "Reception" and so on sections.
Part Three: Cleanup/Rewrite/Expand Character Pages
Most of the Character pages need revamping. The format should be almost identical if possible.
That's all I have to say now. Feel free to comment! Good luck!!! --Mktsay123 (talk) 16:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
I went through most of the talk pages adding the PJTF parameter and deleting fan comments today. I found that some of the character pages deserve to be merged into a single minor character list. Also, most of the character pages have been nominated for deletion, but kept. I'd say we still have a lot of work to do for the character pages. I'll set the goal to reach class C on every single srticle for now. That would already take us a hell of time... --Mktsay123 (talk) 15:11, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Don't really try to add much to this article until we receive more info and the book is released.N.G.G. 11:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
This page needs cleanup. I have already posted my viewpoint in its talk page and am again posting it here:-
I posted my reply on the talk page of TDF. However, I haven't got the book yet, so I can't do much. In fact, I'm getting my copies of Book 4 PBK, TDG and TLO in May or June altogether. That may be when I can really help on the details. --Mktsay123 (talk) 10:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
I really think that the TLO extract is becoming a headache for all PJTF members (perhaps with the exception of NGG). It was actually a discussion about the extract between me and NGG when I suggested putting up a PJ task force. I think that NGG is overdoing this a bit, surely we can include the extract when it is a part of the book. But yes, the Reception part is most important and I too will work on it as soon as I come back from my holiday. And yes, the stories should be in detail (at least the plot should include the complete storyline). And yes, please expand List of Percy Jackson and the Olympians characters. I really don't have the time now. Pmlinediter (talk) 11:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
B-class now :). Airplaneman talk 00:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I have corrected the logic so that it is just an enhancement to the existing banner for this task force (in Template:NovelsWikiProject/sandbox currently). As part of the change needs to include a project "icon". For this we need to establish a small image or icon that should be used to denote "Percy Jackson" task force items. Currently it is set to the same as the SF task force, but this needs to change before implementation. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:08, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
I've tagged merge tags in the minor characters' pages. (Clarisse, Chiron, Zoe, Charles, Silena, and the Stoll brothers) Discuss whether merge or keep, please. Thanks. --Mktsay123 (talk) 15:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Particularly in the light of the mereger of minor character there is no overwhelming reason to depart from the std infobox for characters. If there is good reason for some change feed it into the debate for the std infobox. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
I have passed the article as B-class. Hopefully, all will agree. It has become PJTF's first B-class article. Pmlinediter (talk) 08:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Okay sorry I have been real busy with article in WP:VG but anyway, The Last Olympian is almost here and here are things you should do as a part of that project. -Buy the book as fast as you can making notes on the plot and then expanding the plot section using the cite book template. -Look out for weekend or first week sales numbers. That will help us when expanding the article for GA and when writing the Reception section. -Don't add anything unless you have a reliable source to back it up. Thanks and have fun. Hope to see you on the battlefield.--(NGG) 11:42, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah this is not working for me. I can't keep doing the whole read and stop thing. I need someone to help out with the plot. The book has 21 chapters and I just don't have time to write a 21 part summary plus it would end up being to long. So, until then, we need to think of a way to condense my summary without getting rid of the main idea and then I need someone to take over for me because I can't keep read and stopping like this. Thanks--(NGG) 01:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Someone has already created a article for the un-official series. There are no real announcements, so I'm sure the article will be deleted soon.--(NGG) 01:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Does your project care about what happens to the talk pages of articles that have been replaced with redirects? If so, please provide your input at User:Mikaey/Request for Input/ListasBot 3. Thanks, Matt (talk) 02:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
There has been some dispute regarding the title of the upcoming Percy Jackson film. Pmlinediter asked me to take up the issue here. Pmlinediter has moved the article to Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (film) citing the AKA section of IMDb, Cinema Blend, Wikia and The Movie Insider. I believe the article should be moved to Percy Jackson (film) and cite The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Empire and Entertainment Weekly. Looking at the sources Pmlinediter has cited, Wikia and The Movie Insider are not reliable sources and IMDb states that "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" is a working title (the current title it actually has is "Percy Jackson"). That leaves Cinema Blend. Not the most reliable source and it is possibly they are going off the working title and have not updated the title yet. Anyway, looking at the sources I've provided. All are reliable sources and are all published within the last two months. They all state the title as just "Percy Jackson". I know it is a bad title for the first film but stick to what the sources say. - kollision (talk) 11:42, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
NOTE: PLEASE RESPOND ON THE TALK PAGE OF THE ARTICLE, NOT HERE
The info in the History section is pretty much just restated in the In the Books section. I propose that we just cut most of the redundant stuff out of the History section that is mentioned in the other section. Thanks, Airplaneman (talk) 00:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
I am removing any mention of expanding The Last Olympian from the "To do" list because it is very very long. Airplaneman talk 16:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
I saw the tag on his article. The tag has been there since March and is not on the article that it's supposed to be merged into. I oppose it because Nico plays a significant role in the series. His article has developed nicely and merging it into a list would make it (the list) very cumbersome to navigate. Airplaneman talk 00:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Please vote here.
This article is really not much and I can't see it growing much more. We can merge it into it's own section on Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Airplaneman talk 00:36, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Done - merged! Airplaneman talk 03:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Glad to see that there are already to articles in the GA status, and I've just spotted a small problem in The Titan's Curse, the current Good Article Nominee of the PJTF. I already posted on the talk page of TTC, but I figured that talk pages receives little attention, so I'm posting here again. It's about the main characters, and I'm pretty sure that we should replace Nico with Bianca, since she actually got more spotlight on her than Nico in The Titan's Curse. Also, I wonder if Annabeth should also be removed from the main character area, since she only showed up before getting captured and after getting saved. --Mktsay123 (talk) 12:18, 23 November 2009 (UTC) Note:Conversation ongoing at the talk page. Input is welcome. Airplaneman talk 08:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Extremepro (talk) 21:43, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey everyone, this is NGG, haven't been editing much lately but I'm ready to help out again. I see you all have been busy with Sea of Monsters, well lets expand our horizons and push the rest of the articles up to GA or even higher. But if we all work together, sooner or later, we can get Percy Jackson back to featured topic. Anyway, just wanted to drop buy, see you all out there.----Next-Genn-Gamer 07:17, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
OK, I came in today finding the page has its big title gone..... A little desperating though...... Alright, to what I actually came to say: Seems like TTC is stuck at GAN, wonder if anything's wrong with it, or is it only that the reviewers aren't doing their job? Also, seems like someone has tagged the PJTO main page to be "fan-ish"... I wonder how we can fix it, or what's possibly wrong? I mean, I don't think it looks "fan-ish" to me, or maybe it's because I'm a fan myself. Anyways, seems like it isn't easy to get things on encyclopedia scale, huh? --Mktsay123 (talk) 16:06, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Would anyone like to work with me to get a newsletter for the task force going?-- iBentalk/contribs 03:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, people. I just came to say that I'm really pleased that this project has become active, and has improved so much. It really seems nice if an idea works out, and I'd like to thank everyone who have tirelessly contributed for PJTF. Pmlineditor ∞ 12:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, nearly all wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.
If you don't already have this and are interested in creating a list of articles which need cleanup for your wikiproject see: Cleanup listings A list of examples is here
If you are interested in moving unreferenced blp articles to a special "incubation page", contact me, User talk:Ikip
If you are interested in watchlisting all of the unreferenced articles once you install Cleanup_listings, contact me, User talk:Ikip

Well, seeing that The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid is due out at May 5, 2010, I'm starting to wonder if we are going to cover that critera. According to the Scope mentioned on the PJTF page, our scope includes the books, the characters, and Things related to Rick Riordan. So I wonder if we are going to cover the series. It would be reasonable to include the next Camp Half-Blood series, but what about The Kane Chronicles. Opinions?--Mktsay123 (talk) 15:52, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
![]() | Hello! It has recently come to my attention that this WikiProject might make an interesting article, so I have decided to ask to feature this WikiProject in the Wikipedia Signpost WikiProject report on April 12.Please stop by our newsroom or contact me on my talk page to arrange an interview. Thanks! Before I can continue, please indicate your acceptance here, on my talk page, or at our newsroom. -- iBentalk/contribsIf you reply here, please place a talkback notification on my page. 00:55, 5 February 2010 (UTC) |
i'm not sure if there is going to be some sort of new series or more percy jackson, because at the end of the "last olympian" rachel says a new prophecy that may or may not happen within the next few hundred to thousand years, maybe immediately. so i am wondering if there will be either a new book with percy or a new series entirely with a new main character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theraven713 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that in Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson) there was an illustration and I was thinking we should add some for the other characters.[discuss]--iBentalk/contribs 03:26, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm thinking of organizing a roll call to see who's still active/interested. I (or somebody) will notify members. Everyone's name will be moved to an "inactive" section; if they do not show interest by moving their name into the "active" section, they will be kept in the "inactive" section. They will be given two months' time. Does that sound OK? Airplaneman talk 04:56, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Are you guys at all interested in The Kane Chronicles, Rick Riordan's new series? It does say on your main page that your are interested in Rick Riordan related stuff. Thank you, Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 17:41, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Who decided the name "Tyson the Cyclops?" Wouldn't it be better to just call it "Tyson (Percy Jackson)" or Tyson (Cyclops)?[discuss]-- iBen 18:56, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I have a proposal for a notification system to alert users about current collaborations or things like that. There's a bot that can do it; I just need some feedback and opinions.[discuss]--mono (talk) 00:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

I just had an idea: Portal:Percy Jackson![discuss]--mono (talk) 00:18, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Don't use non-free images. They can't be used outside of the articles they are meant to illustrate. See WP:NFC. I'm also concerned about the amount of content; will there be enough for a portal to be active? Airplaneman talk 04:19, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I have to say that I agree with Airplaneman - I think we will quickly run out of content. Maybe we should just stick with dispatch. PrincessofLlyr (talk) 14:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I think the work preparing The Battle of the Labyrinth for GA is mostly done except for the Reception section. So why don't we start working on The Last Olympian too? Because it seems to me that we would only be able to expand the section if we hace a source to all the information. -Mktsay123 (talk) 07:25, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
As I've written on the PJTO main page, I don't think we should start making pages for The new series yet. Though official information has been released, there's still too little to be compiled into an article. I say we at least wait till summer, which is when Rick Riordan indicated more info will be released. So I'll move that we don't support any articles as such created by good-faith editors. (Though we could start crafting the articles in the sandbox.) Comments? -Mktsay123 (talk) 03:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi members of PJTF, I am currently a student in a Digital Geographies class studying computer-mediated communication and cooperation. I have really enjoyed watching the development of the articles and seeing how your Task Force works together. I think Wikipedia Signpost beat me to interviews. If anyone is interested, I humbly request your help for a class assignment. If any members would like to answer a few questions about their participation in PJTF and in Wikipedia in general, I'd greatly appreciate it. Please let me know if you're interested on my Talk page. Thanks!! --loafysam (talk) 15:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Um I dont know if this is just me, but the link to the PJ watchlist leads only to changes related to the character...I am pretty sure it used to lead to ALL PJ pages...Homework2 pass a notesign! 17:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed that a fair amount of our 32 members haven't been even trying to edit. Many joined just to join. Therefore, I propose implementing a "obligations" guideline like the one at Wikipedia:MAC#Obligations. Any members not participating would be removed from the members list. What does the project think?--moɳo 00:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
←Btw, the Collaboration of the Month for WP:39 is The Maze of Bones after a decent round of improvements at The 39 Clues. Princess, could you assess The 39 Clues again to see if it's changed?--moɳo 01:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

template), multiple fact tags and general referencing problems, an in-universe style tag, and multiple sections in dire need of expansion/referencing/prose edits. It's gone a long way, but it's not close to GA status (or B class for the matter). See WP:ASSESS. Mono, I know this has happened in the past, so I'll say it just in case: please don't take it personally :). I can help a bit, but I haven't and don't plan to read The 39 Clues and therefore have little knowledge or motivation to edit/improve articles within the series' scope. Currently assessing the 100+ WP:MAC articles (down from ~400!) and working to save Macintosh, which is at WP:FAR. Airplaneman ✈ 01:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey WikiProject Novels/Rick Riordan task force! Thanks for being a part of the Percy Jackson Task Force here on Wikipedia. We're cleaning up our list of members; the project would like to make sure all members listed are participating. Therefore, we're holding a roll call for the members of the Percy Jackson Task Force and appreciate your help by acting quickly. Before you confirm your membership, you'll want to look over the obligations for members. In order to remain a member, you must:
Additionally, consider adding ((WP:PJTF/Update)) and ((Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User Percy Jackson task force)) to your userpage for project updates and to show off your membership. We hope you're still active and interested, as the Percy Jackson Task Force is looking for more contributions from members. Also, check out ways to help the project. Thanks, ~~
We've deleted most references to a sequel movie because of unreliable sources and WP:NFF. However, as it seems that things about it keep cropping up, would it be an acceptable compromise to put a blurb about there being rumors of a sequel? That acknowledges the possibility without saying that it is a verifiable fact that the sequel is being made. PrincessofLlyr royal court 20:45, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I was never planning to create an article, just have a mention about the rumors and the fact that C.C. has expressed interest in making a sequel. I figure it could go in a section under "film" in the main PJ&TO article and a small section at the end of Lightning Thief film. Redirect is probably the best idea. PrincessofLlyr royal court 14:33, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Bianca's listed as a main character on the List of Percy Jackson & the Olympians characters. Is she really a main character? Clarisse isn't even listed as a main character and she shows up more than Bianca. Then again, if we move her from "main", does she go under "demigods" or "immortals"? What does everyone think?

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Percy Jackson task force articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

I suggest that, considering the new series is out, we change our name to the 'Camp Half-Blood Task Force'. Harry Blue5 (talk) 21:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with the Aviator that it seems like unnecessary work. I had even considered it earlier, but honestly, The Lost Hero has a lot about the original PJ&tO characters from what I can tell. If nothing else, it's early to rename. I say give it some time and if we run into confusion we can consider it. PrincessofLlyr royal court 03:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed that a lot of our articles would be given a higher rating on the quality scale if only they had more references (Example) and if we could find more reviews(Example) we would be a lot better off. Is this a major issue for the rest of you? Wondering, Winner 42 ( Talk to me! ) 22:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
I just started looking over the page today because I finished the book yesterday. It's off to a terrific start - C-class already! Currently it's listed as only mid-importance for PJTF. I was thinking high-importance would be accurate. Anyone else agree? PrincessofLlyr royal court 20:03, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
