However the main problem I have is the addition of information and how it is managed. Hypothetically speaking, if we did merge we could either import all the pages or make new pages on the same information. The problem is that not many users have knowledge of both series. I never really liked the Kane books and have only read the first one a long time ago. If we merged, I wouldn't be able to tell if someone came in and added vandalism, speculation, or just the wrong information. I'm sure others would be in the same boat as me.

Lastly, we are already a pretty big wiki. We have information on two series, two movies (currently), graphic novels, companion books, and whatever side stories or crossovers Rick Riordan makes in his spare time. Adding information from a completed series, as well as Rick Riordan's future series with Norse mythology could bring the site into "cluttered" or "unfocused" territory.

(and as stated above, there is always the problem of who will be demoted/promoted during the merge as far as admins, rollbacks, and b-crats go).

I'd say those^^ are some pretty good reasons why it shouldn't happen.

Plus, if this is agreed on, what will be the background? What will all the customization become? And how are we going to separate the pages for the KC and PJ?
