Mention of trivia

Why is there no trivia mention of the fact that the book takes place in the same universe as the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series? 69.207.201.84 (talk) 07:24, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, it must be on the Kane Chronicles series page. I'll add that. PrincessofLlyr ^{royal court} 12:58, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It`s debatable. At certain points, it hints that they are in the same universe. However, I`m not sure if the author has mentioned anything about it. 125.237.148.11 (talk) 10:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It does not specifically say it, but it does strongly suggest it. For example, while looking at the Empire State Building Carter and Sadie's uncle mentions "other gods"(ie Greek Gods) on that end of the city. Sumsum2010·T·C·Review me! 03:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It does more then hint... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.83.3 (talk) 01:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is thereno mention about the Mexican gods there is a breif refrence in the book —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.173.214 (talk) 18:11, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

I have not read the book, but I've found some reviews linked off Riordan's blog that could go in a new "Critical Reception" seciton.

The Washington Post [1] (also included in their summer reading club.)
The New York Times [2]
Kirkus Reviews [3]

Welcome, --Glimmer721 ^talk 23:44, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also discovered this interview: [4].

Thanks! I'll add them to the article ASAP. --Perseus, Son of Zeus 15:46, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphic Novel

The graphic novel has already been released, this part of the article needs to be changed. EgyptKEW9 15:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)EgyptKEW9EgyptKEW9 15:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EgyptKEW9 (talk • contribs)

Requested move 18 November 2017

The request to rename this article to The Red Pyramid has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

The Red Pyramid (novel) → The Red Pyramid – The Red Pyramid redirects to the current title. The article was redirected per WP:BOLD on the grounds that Red Pyramid is the only item that needs to be disambiguated with the novel, and that the pyramid is never exclusively referred to as "The Red Pyramid" except when "The" is used as an article. Thanks, King Prithviraj II (talk) 15:58, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:47, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But is "The" enough distinction from the Red Pyramid at Giza? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:47, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@King Prithviraj II: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:47, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, like I said, the "the" is only used as an article in front of Red Pyramid and never (emphasis here) along with "Red Pyramid" in other cases. Also, a note has been left on top of both articles, by which misguided (if any) readers can go to the articles they wish to read. An example would be The Sea of Monsters, another work by the same author and Sea of Monsters, an orchestral piece. King Prithviraj II (talk) 16:57, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the move was needed. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:57, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I still don'the get the logic. "The Red Pyramid" is never used to refer to the monument attached as a whole, it only appears when "the" does its job as an article. There is no need to disambiguate if the target location is open. King Prithviraj II (talk) 19:42, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Anyone bothering to type "The" is more likely looking for the book. There's no conflict between titles, and as long as hatnotes are in place on each article, no confusion. Station1 (talk) 07:49, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
