I made a request to include under the other project section information that John will be donating proceeds from one of his Youtube channels to AFC Wimbledon. This request was refused, citing the fact that including information of football support was not encyclopedic in nature. I must counter that it is very common for English celebrity pages to include their support for clubs, and request this section be returned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.243.208.150 (talk) 16:04, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
"The Yeti", John's wife, has not appeared in any VlogBrothers video... The reference links to a video in which John says "I'm Hank", Hank says "I'm John" and Katherine, Hank's wife, says "I'm the Yeti". Obviously they're all kidding. I think that sould be edited because lots of people think that she is Sarah Green. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.202.229.129 (talk) 14:55, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Do we really need that quote that already appears on the 'Looking for Alaska' page, and only quotes someone's blog? IF that's the case, can we quote dozens of positive reviews as well? Czolgolz 13:40, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I didn't know where else to put this as I discovered that the TINT does not have it's own page. Probably the wrong place to put it, but since Hank Green (John's brother) mentioned it, I think this is as good a place as any...
www.thisisnottom.com is an riddle game, where solving the riddle leads to the next page and the next page, and finally to a chapter of a story/life tale of a girl running from what-we don't know, not knowing who she is or what memories she has that are hers. Now, there's also www.thisisnotforums.com where a great amount of discussion about thisisnottom (or TINT for short) has been discussed, but since the majority of nerdfighters know of wiki, I thought it would be easier to make a page here for it.
However, I'm not going to persue to make a page for it and watch it get deleted, so, someone give their opinion on if this would be needed, please? Or, if there is a wiki page... I haven't found it yet, what would I look for?
Many have guessed that John has been writting the TINT pages, but nothing is really for sure, it's very intriguing none the less No Stahr (talk) 18:16, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
I think the mention of these should either be expanded or deleted, as it doesn't explain anything. Andral 02:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
the definition is wrong, nerdfighters arent always nerds. they fight for nerds (see how to be a nerdfighter) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.248.65 (talk) 15:16, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Nerdfighters, ftw! I'm not sure how else to expand it. Someone should get to work on that one.

What happened to the Hank Green page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wistungsten (talk • contribs) 08:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
but Hank Green redirects to here —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.89.207.118 (talk) 03:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I found that disturbing as well, and set to amke the Hank Green page, unfortunatly its Hank green with a lowercase g
Michael Anderson (talk) 18:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I would think that Hank Green should be allowed to have his own page, and not keep being deleted. Most of Charles Dickens's children have their own pages, and none of them really did anything of distinction, besides being born with a famous father. Hank Green, on the other hand, is half of Brotherhood 2, which is the biggest video blog project ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.1.219.49 (talk) 17:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
In addition, Hank Green has released album, cofounded his own record label, appeared on one of the Discovery Channel... channels (sorry for the awkwardness there) until he was let go. He did blurbs advancing Green Technology. He also has written reviews for the NY Times. That all seems notable enough to warrant his own friggin Wiki page. I mean if William Hung can get one then Hank Green, who actually accomplishes stuff, certainly deserves one.128.200.138.168 (talk) 21:23, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
I agree, Hank Green is important enough to merit his own wikipedia page instead of being redirected to this one. He's half of vlogbrothers, he's released his own album, and has decreased overall WorldSuck dramatically. I think that's enough to get a wikipedia article.
--12.108.214.239 (talk) 01:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
I strongly agree. In fact Hank Green is better known in YouTube; John often mentions how Hank is more popular. Apart from all of the accomplishments mentioned above Hank was also featured on YouTube because of his song "Accio Deathly Hallows". There are way less important articles out there; he has definitely accomplished enough to appear on wikipedia. --81.37.140.89 (talk) 13:59, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Hank Green deserves his own page. 171.64.248.147 (talk) 00:11, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
One user has been maintaining a Hank Green page in her sandbox, and it is well-referenced and in many ways better than this one. User:Madithekilljoy/Sandbox —Cadwaladr (talk) 17:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Why is the User's Sandbox Not a page? I mean at this point would it be a candidate for deletion! For christ sakes, he has his own record label and actual does noteworthy things! Nerdfighters, we need to get this up and staying like John's page.ValensDragosee (talk) 06:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
It's offical he has his own page Hank Green Gang14 (talk) 15:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
There seems to be a totally useless and trivial section within the Brotherhood 2.0 subsection devoted to a specific song performed by one of the brothers. Deletion is hereby proposed. 68.57.109.141 (talk) 02:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that Nerdfighter deserves its own page? --Stotheb2010 (talk) 15:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I do! Nerdfighteria and Nerdfighters FTW! Hank needs his own page too!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.102.11 (talk) 09:58, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
I feel like Brotherhood 2.0 and Hank should each get their own page, but not because I'm sitting here thinking Nerdfighters are awesome, they are, but I think that John's wiki page deserves to be mainly about his writing. He's a damn good author and should be more famous for it than he is for being a youtube celebrity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.141.205.70 (talk) 14:34, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Looks like the first reference link ( http://www.sparksflyup.com/bio.php ) leads to a website that no longer exists. Evil oatmeal (talk) 13:37, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
There is a new website which provides the same information (http://johngreenbooks.com/alaska-questions/). Mywordsflyup (talk) 10:11, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
I noticed that Anglerfish wasn't Wikilinked, and it may be of use to create a section in order to discuss minutia, since the page is locked (at least for me (perhaps because I am new (but still)))
Another thing is the author of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald isn't on the "inspired by" list (though it was quoted under the name of the fictional novel, "An Imperial Affliction" in TFIOS), whereas Walt Whitman is (Quoted in Paper Towns).

I would like to add the fact that in 2007 with help from his brother Hank Green and his wife, Sarah Green, John Green composed a picture book entitled "Everybody Poops in my Pants" [1]
Bearjcc (talk) 15:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
The article says that the movie is set to be released in 2013, but no reference is given. In 2011 John said this, where he pretty much said it wont be happening because of lack of interest, and the page for Looking For Alaska also confirms this. Could someone remove this? I don't have an account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.0.167.132 (talk) 23:56, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

"Starting in 2012, Green and his brother started a short-format education video series entitled Crash Course, where John teaches world history, and his brother teaches biology."
A new season (? I suppose you'd call it that?) of Crash Course has started. John now teaches English literature (covering Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye) and Hank teaches ecology. I'd edit it in myself but mine is the account of a noob. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missfuneralsong (talk • contribs) 11:42, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

This addition was made recently including information on what football club John happens to support (financially) this year. This was reverted, with the editor explaining: it is common practice to include celebrities support of football clubs.
I don't think this is typically common at all, but even if it was, Green's support of certain FCs is not a particularly significant part of his biography because it is largely not discussed in reliable sources. Just because it happens to come up in one of his YouTube videos does not mean we necessarily need to include it. Does anyone else agree? I, JethroBT drop me a line 16:23, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
The following celebrities' pages list the team that they support:
Samuel L. Jackson, Liverpool FC; Patrick Stewart, Huddersfield Town Academy; Kobe Bryant, Barcelona FC; Drew Carey, Barcelon, Rangers, Seatle Sounders; Daniel Day Lewis, Millwall; Will Ferrell, Chelsea; Sir Richard Attenborough, Chelsea Football Club; Keira Knightly, West Ham United; Lennox Lewis, West Ham United; Daniel Craig, Liverpool FC; Fatboy Slim, Brighton & Hove Albion; Sir Elton John, Watford Football Club; Clive Owen, Liverpool Football Club; HRH Charles, Prince of Whales, Burnley Football Club;
Seeing as this article deals with a popular Vlogger i think it is only fitting to include information of his support for a club, especially since he has stated his financial contribution of the proceeds of one of his Youtube channels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.243.208.150 (talk) 18:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
