Shortcuts WP:RRTF WP:PJTF

Welcome to the Rick Riordan task force of WikiProject Novels! We aim to create a standard of excellence for articles related to novels written by Rick Riordan. In general, this task force aims to organize, expand, and improve Wikipedia's encyclopedic coverage of articles that pertain to this author's works. Until November 2015, this task force was known as "WP:PJTF". View the discussion that led to our new name here.

Please make propositions or proposals, discuss issues, share ideas, and make comments at the RRTF General Forums.

This project covers:

• Books and series written by Rick Riordan (especially his works based on Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology)

  Example: The Throne of Fire

  Note: The 39 Clues is not covered, as WP:39 already exists.

• Other media based on the works of Rick Riordan, but not written by that author

  Example: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

• Characters in the above series

  Example: List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan

• Articles involving Rick Riordan, illustrator John Rocco, and/or important actors in the movies

  Example: Blackout (picture book)

If you are interested in joining the force, please read the guidelies stated below: Members are encouraged to put {{WP:RRTF/Update}} and a project userbox on their userpages. Members are also encouraged to add the talk page to their watchlist. This will allow all users to receive and send courtesy updates about project activity, such as Collaborations. Members must contribute to RRTF pages and RR articles constructively. Members must actively participate in the affairs of the WikiProject to remain in "Active" status. The project reserves the right to remove users from the "Active Members" list for any violation of Wikipedia or Taskforce policy. After reviewing these guidelines, just add # {{user|YourNameHere}} at the bottom of the list below.

2. Brambleclawx (talk · contribs) Will occasionally help out. This is not my area of specialty though.

4. Alec scheat (talk · contribs) I`ll help whenever I see a mistake or so in the articles. Not sure how helpful I can be, but I`ll try and correct mistakes.
5. MegCahill (talk · contribs) I'll try and help out whenever I can. But lately I've been way to busy to even think about Wikipedia.

16. Rajan51 (talk · contribs) I won't be active for a while, but I'll help later.
17. Benjamin112 (talk · contribs) I've been relatively busy as of late and I haven't read Riordan's series in a few years, but I eagerly hope that I may eventually come back more actively.

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Rick Riordan task force: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2020-11-18 Tasks edit Users and members: feel free to add things to the to do list to help the project focus on areas in need. Maintenance of task-force edit WP:RRTF is always looking for ways to make its pages more user-friendly -- you can help! Participate in the Outreach Program: Inform other editors and projects of your membership and what the task-force does. Send a {{subst:RRinvite}} to Wikipedians you think might have an interest in the project. Make sure every new or returning member gets a {{subst:RRwel}} on their personal talk page. Article style and oversight: Develop a standard format for articles, and create project pages to describe this formatting. (Use WP:NV's pages as a starting point.) Develop a quality and importance classification guideline, and appropriate project subpages, similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Assessment. Consider creating a Rick Riordan portal. (Keep in mind this previous attempt and these guidelines, and remember to start a discussion.) Maintenance of articles edit Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Article requests : Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo? Cleanup : The Battle of the Labyrinth; Percy Jackson Copyedit : Check for correct spellings (such as "di Angelo" rather than "Di Angelo"); check for duplicates of long character names on all pages (no need to write out first, middle, last every time). Expand : Mythology in Rick Riordan's works; Draft:The Burning Maze; Draft:Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes Maintain : The Titan's Curse and The Son of Neptune Stubs : Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard; Blackout (picture book); Hotel Valhalla: Guide to the Norse Worlds Verify : List of Percy Jackson and the Olympians cast members Wikify : Add out-of-universe elements such as real-world reception and awards to everything; check Alex Fierro - appears to cite same Goodreads page as multiple references Other : Please watch all Percy Jackson pages for vandalism using the Percy Jackson watchlist; Add any missing novels to Category:Novels by Rick Riordan

Editors are encouraged to use this sandbox for test edits. This will be checked regularly by RRTF members and necessary updates and corrections will be made. It is requested that an editor make test edits here instead of directly in the articles.

Any article related to this task force should be marked with "rick-riordan-task-force=yes" to the {{WikiProject Novels}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Rick Riordan task force articles.

The resulting code is usually:

{{WikiProject Novels
|class=
|importance=
|fantasy-task-force=yes
|fantasy-importance=
|rick-riordan-task-force=yes
|rick-riordan-importance=
}}
