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)

• We appreciate IP addresses wanting to help, but we cannot accept members without accounts. Please create an account to join. Thanks!

1. Ladywitchthought (talk · contribs) – I haven't read this series for a couple of years, but once I re-read them, I will hopefully find time in the holidays to help.
2. Brambleclawx (talk · contribs) Will occasionally help out. This is not my area of specialty though.
3. MeisMyself (talk · contribs) I will help out whenever I have the time. I can't guarentee that I have the time to do all the requirments to be active, 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.
6. KF5LLG (talk · contribs) I have read all of the series books. Heroes of Olympus, the original percy jackson, and the kane chronicles.

8. Cassie Hawthorne (talk) 03:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC) I have read all of the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus books, but I'm not an active editor. I usually only edit articles if their errors really bug me to the point of almost-insanity.[reply]

14. Cassiethecat800 (talk · contribs) I'll try to help out, but I haven't read all of his books.
15. Pedrohoneto (talk · contribs) I'm not very active in the English Wikipedia, but gradually I'll try to translate the articles of The Heroes of Olympus books that I promoted to good status in the Portuguese 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.

The following CCs are articles in need of improvement by RRTF members. The ultimate goal should be to achieve good article status for each and every article under our scope, but the following represent the most important pages in the most need. See this page for a useful template.

1. Draft:The Burning Maze --Draft class • High importance • 9,360 vpm (views per month)
2. The Trials of Apollo -- Stub • High • 35,070
3. The Ship of the Dead -- Start • High • 8,280
4. The Dark Prophecy -- C • Mid • 12,390
5. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard -- Start • Top • 20,250
6. Percy Jackson (film series) -- C • Top • 36,780 (# 331: WP:NV's 500 most popular pages)
7. Hotel Valhalla: Guide to the Norse Worlds -- Stub • Low • 390
8. The Kane Chronicles -- Start • High • 10,380
9. The Battle of the Labyrinth -- C • Mid • 6,660

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=
}}

Please note: The parameters "percy-jackson-task-force" and "percy-jackson-importance" will generate the same template, and do not need to be changed for individual articles.

Stub template: {{fantasy-novel-stub}} (goes at the bottom of unfinished or very small articles)
Navigation boxes: {{Camp Half-Blood}} {{Kane Chronicles}} {{Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard}} (go at the bottom of articles to organize links to related pages)
