Do you think the Argo II will crash?[]

I just want to create a blog to ask people if they think the Argo II will crash. Lots of people think it will.Percy Jackson Fan Girl (talk • contribs) 16:45, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Approved. And don't annoy me, like you say you would. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 04:08, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Questions about the 5th book in the Heroes of Olympus series blog[]

Is it okay if I can make a blog that asks questions about the book? Like "Who is going to die in the last book?" or "Which characters will be the narrators of the book?" Can I create that kind of blog?PercyJacksonfan12 (talk • contribs) 23:12, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Nope, we haven't even gotten to the Fourth book. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 04:09, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Why do we have to read the 4th book in order to ask questions like these? It's just a guess.PercyJacksonfan12 (talk • contribs) 04:54, February 6, 2012

I agree. This is a blog asking how you think the series will end. Is there really a problem with that? Evrytime I Dive in My Pool... I Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle! 23:50, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

It's specualtion, Specualtion that doesn't even have any proof at all to back it up. PerseusJackson Talk to Me You never have to bring down someone to elevate yourself. 22:46,2/7/2012

Do you think the two camps will combine into one after the war is over?[]

I want to make a blog about whether or not Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter will combine. I want to know what others think about whether they will be combined and, if they do, what will the leadership be? Will Reyna become an honorary member of the Council of Cloven Elders, like Chrion and Mr. D are? --Ohiogal07--Glory lies not when we fall, but in rising every time we fall. (talk • contribs) 14:48, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think so. The reason why I think that is because Romans and Greeks are always different. They may be closer to each other, but they will never merge. So denied. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 15:26, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
But that's only your opinion on this blog. It would have made a perfect comment. Since people will want to discuss that topic, I think we should approve it. Mεηαrα~ The one you least expect 15:32, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
Here you go. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 15:51, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
Wait . . . so is it approved, or not? I'm confused . . . --Olivia Grace-- Glory lies not in making others fall, but in rising every time we fall. ^(Talk) 14:04, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
It isn't approved, I just provided a link to a blog that already exists. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 14:08, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
Oh. Ok. Thanks for your time. --Cole Hilton-- Only those who dare to fall greatly achieve greatly. 14:12, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Questions blog[]

Is it okay if I can make a blog that asks questions about the series and the characters?PercyJacksonfan12 (talk • contribs) 23:52, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Depends on what kind of questions. "When I was alive, I was a rather cautious man thank you very much."-Ghost the Zombie 14:42, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Fauns/Satyrs, evil Cyclopes and Centaurs[]

I would like to make a blog about the differences between monsters introduced in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and The Heroes of Olympus series, like the differences between fauns and satyrs. Like, why are fauns always so focused on getting money, and not as focused on nature, like satyrs are? We also witnessed evil Cyclopes and centaurs, along with good Cyclopes and centaurs. Why are they like this? I would like to make a blog about these things. --Cole Hilton-- Only those who dare to fall greatly achieve greatly. 14:15, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

I approve. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 14:27, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
Even though this is approved. I don't see the point. The difference is how each mythology viewed each mythological creature. For the Greeks not all Centaurs were evil obviously since Chiron exists, But to the Romans the centaurs were evil lustful creatures that did nothing but rape and pillage villages. It's all how the culture viewed each creature. "When I was alive, I was a rather cautious man thank you very much."-Ghost the Zombie 14:46, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Will one of the greek demigods die?[]

I would like to make a blog to ask users if they think one of the greek demigods will die. It will be four Demigods from CHB, but usually only three demigods return from a quest. 93.179.14.239 18:24, February 13, 2012 (UTC) (forgot to log in.

Which was the cliffhanger that made you want to kill Rick?[]

I thought about the about the Cliffhangers the series had seen so far and I wanted to ask users which ones did they like the most. Maimer1882~Put up or shut up 03:24, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

I think it would be interesting. Lets just hope it doesn't turn into a what will happen next blog. SonOfZeus1200~May the Gods be with you. 04:10, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Is this relevent to the series? Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 04:00, February 16, 2012 (UTC

I think it would make a great blog.PercyJacksonfan12 (talk • contribs) 04:58, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Ath are you honestly telling me that you never read a clifhanger from Percy Jackson and just couldn't wait tfor the next book. I just wanted to ask the users which ones they like the best. Maimer1882~Put up or shut up 13:08, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Fine: approve. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 00:44, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

"Wikia Contributors"[]

I would like to create a blog to ask if its possible to change a setting to make it that you HAVE to log in if you want to edit, i want this because:

1. it will stop vandalism of pages

2. it will stop us from having to revert pages made by stubborn people, example, for hermes, we had to fix a title of hermes twice, exactly the same thing, both from a "wikia contributor"

3. People will be warned if they disobey 1 and 2, you cant really warn a wikia contributor, and if all else fails, we can ban them if they are really bad. this system works at the RP wiki and works really well, so i think that this blog would be succsesful if we are to stop vandilism and fixing mistakes that people think are right, yet the aren't. Zakzedd (talk • contribs) 07:16, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

So... what's stopping people from making an account and vandalizing the wiki that way. And i think this should be put in Consensus. Maimer1882~Defend This House...I will 23:18, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Why u wanna make a blog other than discuss with b-crats and admins about it?Blackjack22-Live for the next touch 14:29, February 26, 2012 (UTC)blackjack22

Favorite Antagonist?[]

I was thinking about this blog cause I think this is a good topic and users might want to answer. Swords23Awesome (talk • contribs) 23:21, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

That sounds like a good blog. SonOfZeus1200~May the Gods be with you. 17:26, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
If you promise it won't turn out as a "vs" blog, I'd say yes. Template:Signatures/Hyperborean 17:51, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

I want to make a blog asking comparing Jason, Percy, and Nico. I think this blog will recieve many comments and interests.Ramy2012 (talk • contribs) 02:56, February 19, 2012 (UTC)[[User:Ramy2012|Ramy2012Ramy2012 (talk • contribs) 02:56, February 19, 2012 (UTC)]](User:Ramy2012)

I’ll have to say no to that since that’s the type of blogs we’re trying to eliminate. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 03:28, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
Plus that blog has been made before. SonOfZeus1200~May the Gods be with you. 17:26, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Next Lucky Edit?[]

I saw some admins get many lucky edits. I think people will want to know when is the next lucky edit, so, I'd like to make this blog.Swords23Awesome (talk • contribs) 16:11, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

The lucky edit badge appears every 1000 edits. There isnt any way to know except counting every edit a person makes between badges. The reason admins get them is because reverting vandalism counts as an edit, but any other user can get it by editing. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 16:21, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Signature Blog[]

Okay, this is one of my requests. I would like to make a blog to offer my coding skills to create signatures for people. This request MUST be approved by Dark or one of the admins.Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 05:37, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Just pointing out that there is already a page showing how to make a signature here. Template:Signatures/Hyperborean 10:15, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Approved (many users are confused by the signature help) Mεηαrα~ The one you least expect 10:43, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe we could just improve the help page? I mean yes we can make a blog, but maybe at the same time we can improve the page. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 13:18, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Blog Policy Blog[]

Lol on the wording, but it says it all. This shall be in a poll. Oh yeah, the rubric will be this: One a scale of one to five, I would rate this policy as:

1:Epic Fail

2:I didn't like it, but give me one more month, and I'll get used to it

3:It was okay

4:I liked it, but I could give some suggestions to improve it

5:I liked it, it gave me more time to focus on the actual wiki itself.

Why I'm requesting it, just for the sake of equality. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 05:37, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

NO TIGER THIS IS UNAPPROVED YOU CANNOT DO THIS. ~~you're the freakin' b-crat go make a blog for the better of the wiki~~ . Being completely serious this is APPROVED. SayuriDarling (talk • contribs)

So did sayu approve it or.... And i approve it Maimer1882~Put up or shut up 19:28, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Maimer, don't make your font small, it annoys me when the <small> code doesn't stop right at your message. Oh, and Sayu-chan, deal with your b-crat.

I aprove, you'll get to know how the new policy was doing with the other users. P.S. whoever you are who made a message above me, Seriosly? You purposely made your text small! How do I know? Does this look like small text to you? Plus, you're the one who forgot a signiture. SuPeRaNdOmBrO~CAUTION: I AM THROWING CANS AT YOUR FACE! 09:19, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Heh, Heh, Heh, That was me. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 01:03, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. But still. not cool SuPeRaNdOmBrO~CAUTION: I AM THROWING CANS AT YOUR FACE! 04:57, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

The code randomly got small on me ath. Sorry Maimer1882~Put up or shut up 14:54, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Character to Character[]

My sister is reading Goblet of Fire, and she was telling me about Draco, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and all the others. And so I got the idea about how the character's are similar. It's NOT a verses blog. I'm just showing the similarities from one specific HP character to one specific PJO character. See what I'm saying? --Hermione_Chase ~Octavian's #1 Fan. 21:18, February 23, 2012 (UTC)BullyFan112

We've had blogs that compare and contrast similarities to other series, such as Harry Potter. And I personally can say it can cause some major fighting between which series is better etc. I'm going to say no. SayuriDarling (talk • contribs) 04:31, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

The Second Great Prophecy[]

I'm reading the heroes of olympus series for the second time. and I've noticed some important things to the great prophecy from all over the place. these might be very important.Dancahill57

I would have to deny this because there are so many of these types of blogs out there right now. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 03:48, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Present & past tense[]

I would like to make a blog explaining to the users when it is proper to use present tense and when to use past tense on pages. I've said this before and I'll say it again; The (book) reviews should be in present tense as the books are still in existence. It's also a way of making the narrative or description more immediate to the reader. So basically, both tenses are being used on this site (sometimes even on one page) and it's an issue. Template:Signatures/Hyperborean 12:25, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

I think....it would be better in a template, but get the others opinion. Athletiger^Talk~Diana Chen 14:14, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Make blog? The users curious enough have already looked up on google and the others I don`t belive will read it. I`m not sure of what is a template but I support AthletigerBlackjack22-Live for the next touch 18:24, February 28, 2012 (UTC)blackjack22

Now that I think about it, it would indeed be better in a template.Template:Signatures/Hyperborean 20:31, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

The Unofficial Heroes of Olympus Companion[]

I wanna make a blog about the unofficial Heroes of Olympus companion, called "The Unofficial Heroes of Olympus Companion: Gods, Monsters, Myths and What's in Store for Jason, Piper and Leo". I wanna ask if there's anyone who has read it and who can tell us more about it. Besides, I think it's something people want to discuss. Mεηαrα~ The one you least expect 13:03, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Well I have never read it, but it seems like a spoof in my opinion. But if it's not, then yeah. Hermione Chase ~Octavian's #1 Fan. 14:30, February 26, 2012 (UTC)Hermione Chase

"This book is a must-have for anyone reading Rick Riordan's popular books. With an easy-to-read style, The Unofficial Heroes of Olympus Companion offers background information on gods, goddesses, and monsters of Greek mythology. It is also just a great read for anyone who has discovered, through Riordan's books, how fascinating Greek Mythology is." That is what someone on the review section said.
