uhhh youtube.org isn't a real site... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.43.48 (talk) 00:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I have fixed it. Erik the Red 2 (talk) 00:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

K, so since when does the summary on the back of the book count as an actual plot summary? This is an encyclopedia, not a third grade book report. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.200.52 (talk) 20:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC) Unfortunately, it's the only info we have-but you're right, using the actual summary off the back of the book is plagiarism. I'll try to fix it. Erik the Red 2 (talk) 00:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mortal acquaintance?

The "Mortal Acquaintance" is under dispute - whether it's Nancy Bobofit or Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Shouldn't it be the latter? If you go to [1], you'll see a profile for Rachel under "Olympians, Gods, and Monsters", which includes her home town, her various nicknames, and even one object that she owns (note that Nancy is not mentioned in the profile listings). Since none of these descriptions are found in the book, it can be safely assumed that these will appear in Battle of the Labyrinth. Also, the description of the "mortal girl" that Percy sees in Chapter 1 closely matches Rachel - frizzy, red hair and marker marks.

[edit] Oops!

Confirmed: It IS Rachel. I checked the webpage - you can read the whole first chapter, and it confirms that it's Rachel. End of story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.66.248 (talk) 17:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
