This article was the subject of an educational assignment that ended on 2 April 2012. Further details are available here.

This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2015. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Montclair State University/Young Adult Literature (Spring 2015)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

On 22 October 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Paper Towns to Paper Towns (novel). The result of the discussion was Moved.

Whoever put Ken, Linda, and Mary obviously needs to read the book before they try posting something. I got a wikipedia account just so I could correct it.

Thanks for fixing it. I was adding reviews earlier to the page, and never even noticed. raven1977 (talk) 23:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is about providing accurate information, not about having fun. I think it's fun to provide accurate information, which is why I'm called an editor. People who think it's fun to put nonsense into Wikipedia are called vandals. Cadwaladr (talk) 15:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, if I see anyone doing it I will stop them Kay? =]

Reviews

There must be better examples that exist for the reviews section. Didn't Paper Towns receive a four star review that John was excited about? That should probably be there instead. Alanlastufka (talk) 11:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I wasn't really thrilled with that Publisher's Weekly review. I'll look for some more. Cadwaladr (talk) 15:26, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Switching tenses

I just bought this book, and the book started out in the past tense, but in the middle of the book, it changes tenses to the present for no apparent reason, then back again to past tense, and towards the end it switches tenses back to present tense. Could someone please tell me if all copies are like this? It was really annoying, but the book was awesome anyways! --Wikipedian96 (talk) 02:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC) Yes, all copies are like that. John Green talked about it in one of his vlogs and has mentioned it at several readings. He purposely wrote that part in present tense to bring the reader into the same sense of immediacy that the characters are experiencing at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.4.140.27 (talk) 07:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Movie?

Is there any evidence for the movie section that's third-party? John Green has been known to make stuff up for his amusement (see Paige Railstone). --— Super Martyo boing! 05:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Random comment

HI im Dickiy i like this book a lot very intresting for kids yea - GianFraco

Found at the top of the page. Didn't want to delete it completely b/c I'm not sure it's vandalism. Roseclearfield (talk) 20:32, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Q: Hello everyone! Does anyone know the sites name from the book which is like Wikipedia? It would be so good to know. A: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.0.104.59 (talk) 13:12, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reason?

This is one of my favourite books and I love John's writing, but when I was reading Paper Towns I was trying to figure out why Margo did what she did. I have my own opinions on the subject, but I'd like to know what other people who have read the book as well think of Margo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asakauye (talk • contribs) 18:38, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of "pseudodivisions"

This articles spells it as "pseudodivision", but I'm pretty sure it's spelled "pseudovision" in the book. --77.85.199.226 (talk) 17:05, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be added?

The name of Margo's dog, Myrna Mountweazel, is a synonym for a paper town (only Mountweazel though). Should this be added? ==Nyanyanyanyan

Trivial stuff like that isn't important to the plot and not about the actual book. Vanteblack (talk) 01:16, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved and (re)creating disambiguation page (closed by non-admin page mover) BegbertBiggs (talk) 17:34, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Paper Towns → Paper Towns (novel) – No primary topic for the title case version. Although I'm a supporter of WP:DIFFCAPS and having the original meaning as primary often it doesn't seem like there is a primary topic for this case. The novel has 4,609 views but the film has 14,127, the soundtrack has 104 and Phantom settlement has 2,166[[1]]. The lower case Paper towns could redirect to Phantom settlement like Cash machine or redirect to the DAB like Excess baggage does though it currently redirects to the novel it should probbaly be changed to a DAB or the settlement type even if the novel isn't moved. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:25, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support as long as all three of the following occur: a) move PT to PT (novel), b) PT becomes default dab page for book, film, soundtrack and Pt, and c) Pt redirects to Phantom settlement.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:17, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Loriendrew's plan. A work of fiction is the primary meaning of "Paper Towns", but perhaps no primary topic between the book and the film. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 20:01, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
