There is a new page that is a repeat of Aphrodite, but the name is spelled wrong. Could one of the admins please delete it? Thanks. (Birdqueen102 (talk • contribs) 13:28, October 23, 2013 (UTC))

Done. SayuriDarling ~ “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” 17:09, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that on the Aphrodite page, there are some of her children missing, Lacy and the other kid named in TLH. '

I'll check it out. Also, it's better to place something wrong with the page on its talk page. SayuriDarling ~ “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” 21:40, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think there is anything wrong with the D.C. page. They did go to D.C. in TTC and we have other cities of places they went to. SayuriDarling ~ 넌 그런 적 없니 더 외로울 때 넌 그런 적 없니 눈물이 날 때 05:23, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I know but I saw the Hoover Dam page and I thought that covered it so I still reported it just to make sure. Nep a.k.a.The Dark Knight - "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot.." 05:26, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

The Hoover Dam is no where near Washington, D.C. and those events are in two different places. SayuriDarling ~ 넌 그런 적 없니 더 외로울 때 넌 그런 적 없니 눈물이 날 때 06:33, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

I just checked , I thought I read somewhere that it was in Washington for some reason. Nep a.k.a.The Dark Knight - "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot.." 06:38, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

Ideas

Hi everyone, I'm Cdragon13. I'd like to ask whether the time required to be here before voting for admins is going to be lowered. I've been here for a little over 2 weeks and I have 50+ mainspace edits, as required. I do not, however have the time required to be here to vote but I have met all the people nominated for admin rights. I would really like to vote and have had some time to think about my choice as I have not been able to vote yet. Thanks, Cdragon13 ~Flight of the Dragon 21:17, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

We really don't want to change the time period. We think that a month is a fairly acceptable time to be here to know all the users and such. Also, if you're here for a month it shows you just won't leave. SayuriDarling ~ “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” 15:57, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Well maybe instead of changing the time period you guys could just make an exception this time. Nep a.k.a.The Dark Knight - "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot.." 18:07, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

I don't see why there needs to be an exception. If you make an exception than everyone will want one. SayuriDarling ~ “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” 06:12, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hasn't the situation been resolved already, you always respond late lol. Nep a.k.a.The Dark Knight - "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot.." 06:15, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I just want to make sure that another admin doesn't respond because it is solved. SayuriDarling ~ “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” 06:18, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

So Wikia is doing a Halloween costume party . Should we join in? SonOfZeus1200~Peace out. 22:54, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

I think it might be a good idea. I'll consult another admin about it (aka the one who is most obsessed with Halloween, lbr). SayuriDarling ~ “But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” 20:49, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

I haven't seen Dark in days. Where is he? SonOfZeus1200~Peace out. 21:26, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

"Mentioned"

So, after browsing through the wiki, I've realized that some pages are for people "mentioned." I honestly don't see the point of making a page for someone mentioned in passing or something. For example, Psyche was mentioned in a story that was maybe half a page to a page long. I just don't see the point, and wanted to see what you guys thought of it. Albus Chase 21:01, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

I think it depends on what type of a mention we're talking about. For example, if someone is indirectly mentioned, they obviously shouldn't have a page. I think mentions that go more in-depth like in the cases of Ouranos or Chaos etc. should have a page. Anyway, I deleted Enyo's page today, and I'll see if I can find some more useless pages. Hyperborean ( Talk | Contributions ) 21:32,10/27/2013

The Hebe page and the Hippolyta page need to be deleted Hype. Both are mentioned in the series but have never appeared. SoN - "Sometimes it's only madness that makes us what we are." 06:45, November 8, 2013 (UTC)

Spoiler Templates

Well, the House of Hades came out almost two months ago. Shouldn't we remove the remove the Spoiler Templates? -DanyYB ~Daughter of Wisdom 06:59, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

The book come out around the world at different times. Typically someone may spend somewhere between two-three weeks reading a book if they are just pacing themselves. We typically remove it around the 6 month mark to give a good amount of time for all users to have read the book. SayuriDarling | 넌 그런 적 없니 더 외로울 때 넌 그런 적 없니 눈물이 날 때 15:22, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

Trivia Forum

I was thinking of making a forum where people could ask each other trivia questions regarding the series, it'd be like This. What do you guys think? Someone asks a question and whoever answers the question gets to ask the next question. Nep Everything's impossible until somebody does it. 23:10, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

You mean like a series of questions used to stump each other? Darkcloud1111

Fastest Hero Alive 00:37, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Not a series as in one person asking multitude of questions one after the other, more of a back and forth thing, whoever answers gets to ask the next question, and yeah it'd be preferred if people asked harder questions, that would "stump" other users. Nep Everything's impossible until somebody does it. 00:39, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Why exactly would you want to do this? GreekFreak1333 ~Never trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret 01:52, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

I think it's pretty much self explanatory, it's just so users can quiz each other. Nep Everything's impossible until somebody does it. 01:57, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

I don't like the idea. You can do that in chat and there are already 230948320843 sites where you can do trivia questions. SayuriDarling | The time has come for giving up, I have lost. 04:32, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

What's not to like about it? It's a forum for fun, and it's not doing any harm. Nep Everything's impossible until somebody does it. 04:36, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

It seems...well, pointless. Like Sayu pointed out, there's a multitude of other places you can do this. Just because it's doing no harm doesn't mean it's necessary. Ate lda 05:01, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Well how about this, it's not going against any rules and everyone is allowed to make forums, why does their have to be a point to everything? If this was one of you guys' ideas everyone would be all for it, what's the point of having a blog on friday's where users can talk about anything (which they can do on chat). There is no point, it's for fun. Nep Everything's impossible until somebody does it. 05:06, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

I have to agree with Sayuri and Atelda. There's millions of other places for leaving questions, and I doubt many users will use it unless we direct them to the right place. ✿Bella✿

05:09, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

I'll willingly test run it. If it's successful, we'll keep it. If it tanks, we won't. SayuriDarling | The time has come for giving up, I have lost. 05:14, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

So that means I can put it up? and it's not a permanent thing it's just for a while until people get tired of it. Nep Everything's impossible until somebody does it. 05:15, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

I guess. SayuriDarling | The time has come for giving up, I have lost. 14:44, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Go put it on the OT board and do whatever you want. SayuriDarling | The time has come for giving up, I have lost. 04:50, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Why not just have a forum board for off topic discussions? It would make more sense than having a blog with an arbitrary rule that says it can only be open on certain days. When was the last time we had a discussion in just one day? Hyperborean ( Talk | Contributions ) 09:29,12/15/2013

I don't care. SayuriDarling | The time has come for giving up, I have lost. 14:44, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Giant Army category

Hi, I wanted to see If I could create a category for the Giantes Army like the Titan Army one, is it OK? -DanyYB ~Daughter of Wisdom 23:23, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Another Wiki Copying Us

So I already brought this up on the off topic board but I thought I'd put it in a more appropriate place. While browsing community central I came up on a request to adopt a wiki here. I proceeded to look at the wiki and I found out that they had copied our icon, userboxes, and background, which you can see here. Nep Everything's impossible until somebody does it. 04:21, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

So far it's pretty harmless seeing as no one will go over there unless he starts affiliating. If he continues to copy from us I'll make sure to deal with it. SayuriDarling | The time has come for giving up, I have lost. 04:30, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think there's a problem seeing how that wiki has no community and is pretty much dead. Hyperborean ( Talk | Contributions ) 10:29,12/26/2013

I highly doubt anyone who doesn't realize there is no need to adopt a wiki when you're the founder is a threat to our wiki or any other Percy Jackson fansites. That wiki will remain dead forever, basically, so copying us seems harmless. ✿Bella✿
