Re: Why?

Yes, it was mentioned in both those places, but the actual section gives a little more information about it. I suppose it is really a matter of of opinion, so you could bring it up at [1] (the PJTF talk page). The Percy Jackson Task Force works to improve the articles related to Percy Jackson. Anyone is welcome to join. Also, welcome to Wikipedia! It's nice to meet you. PrincessofLlyr (talk) 00:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why thank you for the kind welcome. I wish I could actually eat those cookies though. :) It's nice to meet you as well. How do I join? (75.164.32.165 (talk) 01:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Simply add your name to the active members section. Sorry you can't eat the cookies, but it's the thought that counts, right? :) Feel free to ask me if you have any other questions! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 01:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the Percy Jackson and the Olympians page, underneath the film section, the article states that the Sea of Monsters is scheduled to be released in 2012. I follow news related to film regularly and I know this is not true. The film version of Sea of Monsters has neither been confirmed nor denied, only speculated. This article actually suggests that it is indeed in development. It's references are also not valid as they lead to film profiles created on the respective film sites. There is no official source confirming Sea of Monsters, only speculation. I just thought you might want to know as it would not let me edit the page because I'm new and also because it is misleading. Although I certainly hope a film version does come out! Just wanted to bring this to your attention. Thanks again for the nice welcome! :) (Razer522 (talk) 04:54, 16 February 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Thank you for the heads-up; I have removed the information. Sorry about the protection status, but there has been a lot of trouble with new users and IPs adding all kinds of stuff, probably due to the release of the film. Oh, and for formatting conversations on a talk page, you can use a colon (:) to indent your reply. It was one of the first things I had to learn about Wikipedia - it just makes things less confusing. (And yes, I know, I didn't employ it earlier in our conversation!) Thanks for your interest in the PJTF; we can always use new editors! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 05:18, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As an additional note, I saw your edit summary asking why peanut butter was highlighted. This is my stab at an answer! Blue highlights are actually links to other Wikipedia articles and they are used frequently. However, it was also quite unnecessary for peanut butter, a common food, to be linked. For more information, see WP:LINK. PrincessofLlyr (talk) 15:01, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I knew that blue highlights were a link to other articles, I just didn't understand why peanut butter sandwiches had one. Is there an article for peanut butter sandwiches? I find that odd, but also a bit funny. Also how do I find the awards Battle of the Labyrinth earned? I'm only asking because I noticed that part of the article is blank.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you to use multiple colons for more indentation; I reformatted your comment so you can see what it looks like. There is an article entitled Peanut butter and jelly sandwich to which peanut butter sandwich redirects. It is funny, and there was no reason for it to be linked, so you did the right thing in removing it. About BotL awards, you can search it (Google and other search engines), but I will warn you that it can be hard to find the real awards. You cannot use fan sites as references, and preferably not booksellers (Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc.). Also, you cannot use websites related to the author or publisher, as those may be biased. However, if you find an awards list on one of those websites, you could search it more specifically. Those are just a few suggestions. I will warn you, however, that a lot of the good reviewers and awards sites will only be accessible with a subscription. On another note, thanks for your interest in improving these articles! I cannot tell you how many new users I've welcomed that are only here for vandalism - it's nice to meet a useful editor for a change! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 23:11, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Okay I'll do my best to look up some awards. Also how close is BotL to being a GA? Your welcome, I hate to see a page vandalized and when it is I try to correct it. I don't know why I didn't join Wikipedia sooner! I edited a few Harry Potter articles a few month's ago because some of the summary's were horribly written. That and other articles that convey false info, (like the Sea of Monster film I mentioned)I usually correct. So I'll do my best to edit as much as I can. Thanks again for your nice welcome.
