Under the vlogbrothers section of the article, add: “John Green is also responsible for naming Wallet Island on the White River, a cool place that is only land part of the time, has a seating area, and one may find expired beer. He named the island because he once found a wallet there. The island also later became an official place on Google Maps. The video in which Wallet Island is mentioned appeared on the vlogbrothers YouTube page on June 16, 2020.” 216.15.59.34 ( talk) 21:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
John's new book "The Anthropocene Reviewed" is a book of essays. As can be seen here: [1] his book is described as a "collection of personal essays". It would be accurate therefore to call him an essayist, which should be added to his introductory sentence.

Is there any record of his short story collection? I can’t find anything online that isn’t seemingly copied from this article. If there is a reliable source for it, then problem solved, obviously, but if not, I have my doubts as to its existence. Packer1028 ( talk) 07:03, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
Green has stated that he has 2 Irish Great Grandfathers. Play below youtube video from 1 min 42 secs onwards.

The result of the move request was: moved. Necrothesp's point regarding long-term significance is well taken, but the consensus here is that the author is primary nonetheless. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 23:21, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
– Just from a quick page views perspective, John Green (author) is the clear primary topic among John Green's. His average of 1662 views/day is unrivaled by any other listing on the disambiguation page, with the next John Green who uses a parenthetical disambiguator, John Green (headmaster), getting 4/day. The first page of a quick Google search also only returns results on the author. He has had a sustained career of success in multiple fields and is listed as a Level 5 Vital Article. Cerebral726 ( talk) 14:25, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Instead of focusing on legitimate critical response, the section seems to get sidetracked on blogposts complaining about questionable instances of systemic sexism. I think this response is (barely) noteworthy, but should not take up half of the section when John Green’s books are most notable for their overwhelming positive reception and impact on the young adult sphere. Perhaps a section on the awards he’s received and expanded retrospective evaluations of his work. I don’t want to come across as a bad faith fan trying to push a narrative here (I’ve never read any of his books) but most reputable sources give him a positive reception, and this article presents him as much more polarizing than necessary. 2603:6010:11F0:3C0:A89B:A314:267E:CE0B ( talk) 11:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

The born field currently reads that John Green was born in Indianapolis although this is where he currently lives as to my knowledge he was not born there as he grew up in Orlando. I don’t know for certain where he was born but it wasn’t Indianapolis. 72.142.115.10 ( talk) 02:57, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I'll review this. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 12:21, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Images are all appropriately licenced. Some comments on sources: footnote numbers refer to this version.
I'm not sure what the separate "primary sources" section is intended to cover -- some of these are not primary sources -- the NYT bestseller list, for example. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 00:54, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
@ Mike Christie:, I have addressed all the sources. Let me know if you have any concerns about the sources that were used to replace questionable sources, or any further comments about the ones that I felt were acceptable to keep. -- Cerebral726 ( talk) 20:35, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
Sources look good now. Will follow up with the rest of the review shortly. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 13:10, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
I'm copyediting as I read through; please revert anything you disagree with.
That's it for the content. I'll do spotchecks next. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 15:59, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Spotchecks. Footnote numbers refer to this version.
There are several minor inaccuracies in the above. I'll wait for you to fix these, and then do another pass. Passing the spotcheck is a must, so if you think there might be other slight inaccuracies in the sourcing you might want to go through and check before asking me to make another pass. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 16:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Just one very minor issue. Passing GA; congratulations! Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 22:13, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Cerebral726: I think using that picture definitely makes sense, since we have it ready, so I would go for either ALT0 or ALT3. You met all the criteria, although I must address that I've slightly edited the paragraph about Pizzamas by myself, so now it should be clearer that the initiative contributes towards the donations to Partners of Health. Also, can you confirm that this is just
your third DYK nomination? Just to be sure you don't need to submit a QPQ review...

@ GuardianH: Just wanted to clarify this edit. The GA Version has "rapid" in it. Did you intend to change it to not match the GA version? Cerebral726 (talk) 16:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
The infobox on this article deliberately shows Green's spouse's name as "Sarah Urist" rather than "Sarah Urist Green" which is the title of her article. Shouldn't her surname be shown as Green in the infobox since she changed it when they were married? Tagging @ Cerebral726, who often edits here. Penguin314 ( talk) 15:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Use article title (if linking) or common name. Making that change. Cerebral726 (talk) 20:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
