[edit] Race

Can anyone add 'Race' to character template that is being used by several pages of characters in this series? I feel it is important since the books deals with many types of cratures, from centaurs to demigods. (Emino 08:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Advance Copy

I am not a member of wikipedia and I have a question about whether something meets wikipedia's standatds. I work for a newspaper and, if an advanced copy of a book is not used for a book review, the reviewer puts them out where anyone can take them. The Titans Curse was one of these books. Would it meet wikipedia's standards to publish spoilers about the plot? Also, The Sea of Monsters should be further explained (as with The Lightning Theif). Could someone please elaborate on this.

Putting down spoilers for an unrealeased book would probably be unnecessary, as it would ruin the plot for many. The earliest day I would adivise adding this would be May 5th, 2007. We are trying our best. Thank You. I hope this helps.

It does. I will wait until then. Thanks!

You are welcome. --Geracudd 00:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manticore

[edit] Return of the Gorgon?

Again, source please. I don't know where you got the idea that was the name.--Geracudd 13:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title for Book 4

The title has yet to be released by the author although an update is posted to Rick Riordan's blog http://rickriordan.blogspot.com/2007/04/percy-four-update.html Please note the Gorgon thing is nonsense.

Thanks. I suspected as much.--Geracudd 00:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

The title is going to be The Battle of/in the Labrinth.--User:broncofreak12321 —Preceding comment was added at 16:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie!

The IMDB Site is not good, you have to signup for a pay account. Thus, for non-paying people it is an irrelevant source. Should I remove it? Chanceeastham (talk) 03:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, there aren't much references to the movie, and I really want to know more about it! But I must say, it has the imformation you need to know. (Strix Struma (talk) 01:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC))

I thought a movie was officially announced... production should begin soon if it happens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehccheehcche (talk • contribs) 02:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I am pretty sure the author of the books (Rick Riordan0 has a role in making the movie. Not sure what it is... hopefully more news to follow! Ehccheehcche (talk) 01:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Higher Standards

all of the articles relating to teh series seriously need higher standards; just reading a few lines of it, i noticed that it sounds more like a brief oral description than an encyclopedia entry. for example, this part of Nico's description in the article for Titan's Curse: "This is when Percy realizes that Hades is their father, but it isn't determined whether or not Nico knows this. Also he hates and wants Percy dead since he did not protect his sister as he promised." it would be better as something like "He now hates Percy because he did not protect Bianca like he had promised."

I find that many of the summary articles here are not very well written. This is a great series, and I think that the articles should be written with a bit more care. I have taken some very small steps in editing them for better flow. As I have the time I will edit more. Aleixa (talk) 18:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Big Three

I think there should be an article explaining who the Big Three Are(Posiden, Zeus, and Hades). What ya guys think? King Rock ^{Go 'Skins!} 00:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Alot of articles in about the series need to be cleaned up. Especially with details regarding the fourth book. I just finished it and will try and help some. Thanks! Ehccheehcche (talk) 01:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First kiss with Annabeth

It says in the article that in the Battle of the Labyrinth, "On page 203 Percy and Annabeth share their first kiss." However, in the Sea of Monsters (paperback edition), page 268, "Annabeth planted a kiss on my cheek".

• I would have deleted the text, but I don't know what to replace it with.
• Would that sea of monsters kiss count, as they aren't "sharing" the kiss?

Meh, I'm probably treating a wikipedia article as harry potter analysis material. But I thought it was worth pointing out.
