Riordan Wiki:Blog Request

This is where Users request permission to make blogs.

Procedure
You can use this page to request a blog as long as it follows the policy below. You will give the name of your blog as a heading and a description of what you're blog will be about. The blogs that have been approved by administrators will be allowed to be created and the user will be sent a message saying they can create their blog.

Requirements
The Camp Half-Blood Wiki's blog policy, like the talk page and User page policies, is designed to keep the focus on editing articles. To maintain this focus there are a few policies regarding blogs. Please make sure your blog fits these policies before requesting it's creation. Blog posts failing the above rules will be deleted and the user warned and/or blocked at the administrator's discretion. All blog posts must be categorized into Category:Blog posts.
 * 1) Blogs must be on-topic – This means they must discuss something related to the site, whether it be new material coming out that will impact our articles and what changes will need to be made, announcing changes to the site structure or content, organizing a project for improving the site or an article, or discussing potential changes in policy.
 * 2) No fan fiction – This is a canonical wiki, and not the place for fan fiction. It serves little purpose to ban its inclusion in the main wiki, but allow it to blossom in the blogs. There are many Half-Blood fan fiction sites across the Internet, and even a Percy Jackson Fan Fiction Wiki. Users will be redirected to these sites. In the case of abuse, the user can be banned under administrative authority.
 * 3) Keep it civil – Civility is expected to be maintained in all blog posts and comments. Blogs are not to be used to make a point or make personal attacks against users.
 * 4) No objectionable material – Please remember that this is a wiki that children and parents are likely to read. No foul language, or content of a sexual nature.
 * 5) Your blog is not your primary contribution to this wiki – Users who edit their blogs excessively will be subject to sanction. Excessive blog editing, in this case, is defined as over 15% of a user's total edits are in the Blog domain. The majority of a user's edits should be in the more useful (Main space)/Template/Category domains. Users who have an excessive number of their edits in the blog namespace will be warned and potentially blocked at the administrators discretion.
 * 6) Blogs do not replace forums – Blogs should not be used to ask for help or other site questions that would be more appropriate in one of the Forums, such as the help desk. These blogs will be moved to the appropriate forum before being deleted. Similarly, blogs do not replace article talk pages in being used to talk about changes to a specific article.
 * 7) Creating welcome blogs – If you are a new user to the site, you may want to introduce yourself to the other members. However, creating a blog to welcome yourself creates clutter on the blog page and the blogs themselves are unrelated to the Camp Half-Blood series. If you do make a blog like this, be prepared as it will be deleted.

"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.

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)

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.

 * Please register for an account in order to make a blog, it is free and it only takes about five minutes to do.  Ηψπεrβορεαν Talk 19:22, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * There is already a blog with this topic. Darkcloud1111  ~Fastest Hero Alive  21:11, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Favorite Antagonist?
I was thinking about this blog cause I think this is a good topic and users might want to answer. Swords23Awesome (talk &bull; 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. 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 &bull; contribs) 02:56, February 19, 2012 (UTC)Ramy2012[[User:Ramy2012|Ramy2012 (talk &bull; 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 &bull; 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. 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 &bull; 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 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)

 * 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 &bull; 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

Present & past tense
I would like to make a blog explaining to the idiots 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. 12:25, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
