Good source

This interview could be useful for expanding the article, perhaps by adding a "Background" or "Inspirations" section. I'll see what I can pull out of the interview if I get a chance, or maybe somebody else would like to take a stab at it. Andrea (talk) 03:28, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Plot missing

Could someone write up the entire plot including all the spoilers so that I don't have to read the book? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.57.180.251 (talk) 23:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Just read the book. It's damn near genius. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.123.54 (talk) 00:55, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

We need a full plot write-up. That's pretty much the only major thing missing from the article at this point. Silverseren 02:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Don't be lazy - just read the book, it won't kill you. I'm 6 months late, but it was an amazing journey, nonetheless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.74.95.246 (talk) 15:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

• Folks, the talk page is not to talk about the book (even if we all like it). It's to talk about improving the article. Please keep discussions to constructive additions to the article. I, Jethrobot (note: not a bot!) 06:21, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Source for Citation Needed

This YouTube Video is the one where John Greene explains the character Hazel's name. This could be the citation required in the character summary. Also, the quote is slightly off. I do not normally edit wikipedia so I will leave it to someone who knows exactly how to do such things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.221.142 (talk) 20:03, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Compress characters into synopsis?

I'm thinking of having a student of mine work on integrating the information in the character section into the synopsis, since it seems to be recommended. Any objections? --Roseclearfield (talk) 16:14, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

That would be wonderful; if not your student, can someone else do this? "Characters" sections are the hallmarks of weak pages. If a character's traits, etc. are not evident in the summary, they are likely not all that important to the story in the first place. And if they are, include them in the summary. As is, the section is not a synopsis so much as a complete plot explication, so I think I'll change the title of the category to a more honest one. LaneErickson (talk) 04:19, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I am going to fix this. I am a student of Roseclearfield.--EHass (talk) 13:39, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

New page for film adaptation?

Obviously, there isn't enough information yet (the film isn't even confirmed), but does anyone think a new page would be necessary, so as not to have an oversized 'Film Adaptation' section? Many adaptations haven't done this, but most have. What do people think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheese453 (talk • contribs) 14:30, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

• See WP:NFF for guidance on when a separate film article would be advisable. Generally this is not until principal photography has begun.--Milowent • 20:33, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

The Fault in Our Stars Wrong Information on the type of cancer Hazel has

The book clearly states: "...diagnosed with stage lV thyroid cancer..." (page 24) Hazel had thyroid cancer which metastasized to her lungs; she did not have lung cancer which is what Misplaced Pages says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.249.61 (talk) 18:02, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 January 2014

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Remove Due to unnecessary details..

On December 21, 2011, Barnes & Noble accidentally shipped 1500 copies of The Fault in Our Stars before the release date to people who had pre-ordered the book. Green released a statement saying, "Mistakes happen. The people who made this error were not bad or incompetent people, and they were not acting maliciously. We all make mistakes, and it is not my wish to see Barnes and Noble or any of their employees vilified." Many people who received the book pledged not to read it until its release date, January 10, 2012, or discuss it until the next day, January 11, as per a request of Green's not to spoil it for other readers. Most kept to this promise leaving the experience untarnished for those who got the book on intended release date.

 Not done Without Green's comment this might be WP:UNDUE, but given the author's reaction and the cited sources it seems reasonable. Arjayay (talk) 18:15, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 2 February 2014

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at The Fault in Our Stars. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please change the final sentence of the plot summary for the 'The Fault In Our Stars' page from 'she did in fact enjoy the infinity that he gave her within the numbered days as much as he said he enjoyed his with her' to 'she did in fact like the choices she had made about who hurts her in life.' as this is actually what she means when she says 'I do.' at the end of the book.

Question: Who has said "this is actually what she means when she says 'I do.'"
Is this just your opinion? or is there a reliable source you can provide, and we can cite, to justify "actually what she means"? Arjayay (talk) 18:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
