Category:American Episcopalians should be replaced with the subcategory Category:21st-century American Episcopalians. Additionally, the article seems to be missing the grey lock indicating its semiprotection. Thanks, 142.160.131.202 (talk) 05:54, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the WRITINGS section, edit the last line "On June 22, 2017, it was announced that Green's fifth solo novel would be entitled Turtles All The Way Down. It was released on October 10, 2017.[47]" Add text so it reads "It was released on October 10, 2017 and debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list."

In the Writing section it reads that: "In late 2013, Green stated that he was writing a new book with the working title The Racket.[44] He sold 5,000 words of a rough draft on IndieGoGo for $10 in order to raise money as part of the Project for Awesome charity event.[4"

This makes is sound like he only sold one sneak peak for $10 when he sold 4,584 of these sneak peaks earning a total of $45,840.

For clarification you might write: "In late 2013, Green stated that he was writing a new book with the working title The Racket.[44] He sold 5,000 words of a rough draft on IndieGoGo for $10 each in order to raise money as part of the Project for Awesome charity event.[4"

Edit Request 9 January 2020

I would like to propose a new subsection beneath Projects for Life's Library. Green founded he Life's Library book club in 2018 with Rosianna Halse Rojas. It is a substantial book club with a sizeable community, and it links to his charity work with Partners in Health Sierra Leone. This is a substantial contribution and I believe it is worth being listed on his wikipedia page. Further details can be found at its website.

The proposed addition is as follows:

Life's Library

In 2018, Green founded the Life's Library book club with Rosianna Halse Rojas. ^[1]^[2] The book club reads a book approximately every 6 weeks, with online discussion occurring on the Life's Library Discord. Green and Rojas alternate choosing books, with guest curators occasionally making selections.^[3] Life's Library is free to participate in, with paid subscription options available to receive digital or physical subscriptions, containing additional materials such as a discussion podcast, or a version of the book itself. All profits from Life's Library are donated to Partners in Health Sierra Leone to help reduce maternal mortality. ^[4]^[5]

Thanks Nibsy884 (talk) 06:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great suggestion, I added it in with an additional source. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:39, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Tumblr thing

Has really no one thought about the tumblr thing? i am not explaining it here. if you know it, im sure you understand. if you dont, well get ready for a lot of cuss words

Semi-protected edit request on 28 September 2020

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected redirect at John Green (author). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Under the vlogbrothers section of the article, add: “John Green is also responsible for naming Wallet Island on the White River, a cool place that is only land part of the time, has a seating area, and one may find expired beer. He named the island because he once found a wallet there. The island also later became an official place on Google Maps. The video in which Wallet Island is mentioned appeared on the vlogbrothers YouTube page on June 16, 2020.” 216.15.59.34 (talk) 21:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
