Love

Love is a forbidden feeling, I guess. But I fell in love with the books in this quartet anyways. The feelings (forbidden, again) were unreal when I read this. I just wish for more from this book, I suppose.

weight loss program in son

hey guys i was just wondering if anyone noticed this in son chapter 13 it mentions that

"Claire remembered a time some years ago when the weekly report showed that her mother’s weight had risen slightly. Her mother had been a little embarrassed, and perhaps annoyed, when the next meal deliveries included special weight-loss meals designated for her. She had eaten them, of course—it was required, and there were no alternatives—until the report showed that her size was under control once again."

i was just wondering why these weekly reports where never mentioned in the giver given the fact that son takes place in the same community

anyone have any thoughts on this?

Can I do it?

I have done a research on the dystopias of The Giver and Gathering Blue as my graduation research project. I just came to know that there is a fandom exists. I am wondering whether i can post my research here? As a fan I think I should do it to keep this fandom alive, but i don't know where to post it? here itself or somewhere better?

Question

Because of the little activity made by the staff, as well as users, I am planning to adopt the Wiki, however I am concerned about the reaction if I change anything to the design, or even if I get admin status. I need aproval from the Wiki, so should I do it in case the staff become completley inactive?

Community and the Trademaster?

Community and the Trademaster

I have a theory about why The Community is the way it is. I think that The Community lived like we do now in modern times, because they have shots and electricity, but they decided to trade with the Trademaster, beacause they didn't think it was fair that some people were richer than others. They traded their color for fairness. I don't think that they traded their differences, because some people have light eyes, and people still have some personality, like people get assigned different jobs, and some people don't like specific things.

The Reciever - A Giver Inspired Story

Hey, there guys!

So, on Wattpad, I'm writing a fanfiction/story that is about what happens after  Jonas gives the memories back to the Community, and honestly, I think it's coming along famously. (If you want to read it, here's my username: @tylaminecraft101. It's an inside joke, I'm not really into Minecraft.)

I wasn't writing this blog post because I needed to to get one of those badge things and this was the only thing I could really write about, no way! I was writing this because I needed some stuff for the story...

NUMERO UNO.....

I am trying my best to incorporate things from the Giver book and the movie, but my memory is a little hazy on the differences. If someone could please give me some and put them on my page somewhere or DM me on W…

What Happened To This Wiki?

Hello everybody! This is ManOnAMission with another blog post about this Wiki.

What has happened to The Giver Wikia?

I mean, sure, a lot has happened. We had a problem, then we fixed it.

Now I realize we have another problem. We need more users because this Wiki is basically deserted.

I mean that we only have 2 or 3 active contributors and we need more.

I don't want this Wiki to become dead with no active users.

Hi The Giver Wikia! This is ManOnAMission (with apologies for my previous blog post, which can be found here; I couldn't make up my mind and decided to stay.) with a quick heads-up.)

For this week and next week, I will not be online Monday to Thursday. I may be online on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Use of the Stub Tag

Okay, I know it's not actually called the stub tag (template?) but it's what my brain was supplying. Anyway.

We have a lot of pages for minor characters that are tagged as stubs, needing addition of information and expansion. However, there simply isn't a lot of information for a lot of them. Yoshiko, for instance, is a character mentioned once in passing by Father. She has very little information to be known about her, yet her page is tagged as a stub.

Shouldn't we remove the stub tags from the pages with little information to be known?

I am leaving The Giver Wikia

Hello everybody, this is ManOnAMission with one more blog post.

I am leaving The Giver Wikia.

This wikia was interesting in the beginning, but it got more boring, and now nobody is on the chat, and there is nothing to do.

If you would like to contact me, I will be on the One Night At Flumpty's Wiki, Five Nights At Wario's Wiki, and Five Nights At Treasure Island Wiki.

I have one last thing to say: It was an honor to be on this wikia.

Signing out,

Quotes

The following are some of the important quotes of The Giver (film). They are listed in the order they appeared in the film.


Jonas's voiceover - After The Ruin, we started all over. Creating a new society. One of true equality. Rules were the building blocks of that equality. We learned them as newchildren. Rules like... Use precise language. Wear your assigned clothing. Take your daily injections.
("Injected!")
Jona's voiceover - Obey the curfew. Never lie.

(The Giver title card)

Jona's voiceover - My name is Jonas. I don't have a last name. None of us did. That day, the day before graduation. I had met it. I was scared. Tomorrow we would be assigned our jobs, our purpose. It seemed that everybody knew theirs already. (pauses) Not me. I was lost. I a…

Apostrophe S or Apostrophe?

We've come into some controversy over the Jonas's Mother and Jonas's Father pages. When I originally adopted the wiki, I edited things to keep everything consistent, but now some people want to change it back.

We could just name them Mother and Father since that's what they're referred to in the books.

An Overpopulation of Stubs

Hello, Darkstripe here, a fellow Elder! I'd like to address a bit of an issue.

First of all, I'm starting to notice that there are WAY to many stubs, which should really be updated/improved. We've really been working on improving already full articles (there's nothing wrong with that, I'm not trying to say there it) but I think the admins and all the other active users should start working on adding to stubs, so we can remove the tag and have better articles.

Now, just hold on a second before you start shouting, "Hey, you haven't improved any stubs recently! Don't be so hypocritical!" I know I haven't recently, but in my spare time (which I have little of nowadays) I'll start trying to do so.

If and when I find the time, I am going to create …

The future of this Wikia

Hello everybody, this is ManOnAMission, with a question for the admins.

What is the future of The Giver Wikia?

This a very clear and mysterious question. Unless you have ESP or are a gyspy, this question will remain unanswered. But another question arises, what can we do to insure that this wiki is accurate and safe?

The answer is clear: keep doing what we are doing: making contributions to the various pages, and keeping this wiki running.

To the admins, I would like to apply for chat mod and rollback. Also, admins, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Sincerely,

ManOnAMission

Ideas for the Chat Room.

Hello everybody! This is ManOnAMission again, this time with a few suggestions for our recently opened chat room!! Yay!

Suggestion #1: The Chat room should be called The Community.

Suggestion #2: The Chat room should have a color scheme of gray and then slowly transistion to red.

Suggestion #3: Allow people to customize their chat settings (i.e., text color, font, status, etc.)

These are just a few suggestions for the admins to consider.

Possible Disappearing Recent Activity

Hello all! I am going through the list of comments and deleting all the spam and inappropriate comments. It's long overdue. Fellow admins, remember that we can delete comments, and should be doing so as soon as something inappropriate is said. If you don't know how, I'll be happy to show you :)

However, since I don't have my bot account active on this Wiki, this means that all these deletions is going to affect the Recent Activity. When you do a bunch of deletions in a short period of time, it makes the RA basically disappear. It may be entirely empty, or just short.

So don't panic! It's not the end of the world, just a big spam cleanup :)


I have also requested the disabling of IP editing on the basis of COPPA compliance.

Vandalism Issue Follow-Up and a few other things

Hello everybody! ManOnAMission here again with another blog post! I have a few things to say and ask.

To the admins, I am encouraging the complete ban of I.P. editing and commenting (if it has not been enacted already). The reasons do not include my previous blog post but some evident changes around the wiki. There is a large and consistent amount of I.P. users who are vandalizing the wiki with no intent of stopping, or helping this wikia maintaining its accuracy and sanity.

To the admins, I would like to be an admin. Just let me know if I am eligible.

On a side note, I got a new avatar picture.

Thank you and on behalf on the sanity and accuracy of The Giver Wikia,

The Giver:My Interpretation

The following essay was created by an anonymous user as an article page, where it should have been put up as a blog post. They seemed very proud of it, so since I am deleting the article, I will put it in it's rightful place as a blog post. 


Today, I am going to tell all the people who like reading fun-filled, exciting books with an amazing theme spoilers on The Giver. This is my interpretation of The Giver, and I hope you all enjoy.


Well first off, I would like to say kudos to you Lois Lowry, because this book is awesome. Anyway, I think that lois Lowry means to represent our community today. Think about it: we all follow the rules and get chastisement, we all go to school, for those of us who need community service hours or confirmation/gr…

Vandalism Issue

Hi, I'm ManOnAMission, a relative newcomer to this wiki, and have read the Giver Quartet and watched The Giver movie.

Anyway, what I REALLY wanted to discuss is the high amount of vandalism on this wiki.

After reading Mycastleofbooks' blog post about vandalism and how IP editing could possibly be disabled, unless the vandalism does not stop (the blog post can be found here).

On a side note, if the admins are reading this blog post, PLEASE take into consideration what I am about to say.

I completely agree that IP editing should be disabled.

The reason is that it will force people that are trying to edit a page to sign up for Wikia, which will make users more easily punished or banned if they vandalize a page.

However, this blog post is just an opi…

Status of the Wiki

So we haven't had a lot of updates recently, but I'm putting that down to the hype of the movie having gone down. There's been some speculation about a movie for Gathering Blue, although it probably won't be out for some time. Maybe we'll get more contributors if an announcement is made.

Your thoughts?

Jobs vs. Assignments

So I noticed, some pages are in the category of Jobs. And we don't have a category of Assignments. Pages that are about occupations in Community should go in the category of Assignmens and pages in the category of Jobs should be about occupations of Village. They are two very separate things! For example, Drone Pilot, Nurturer and Speaker, would go into the category of assignments. Singer, threader and dyer should be in jobs. Would someone please get on fixing that, I'm very busy.

Erasing Everything (No, don't panic!)

I wanted to bring to the attention of our community the matter of anonymous users making harmful edits.

I've noticed a few IP addressees (that's what shows if you edit anonymously) have made edits claiming to have greatly improved the page, but instead have erased everything or added nonsensical information.

If you do this, you will be given a temporary block lasting one week. If you do this when signed in, you will be given a warning.

If you do this accidentally, please undo your edit. If you leave it empty, it creates more work for the admins who then have to undo the edit themselves.

Check us out at es.eldador.wikia.com. If you start helping us edit, I may consider you or contact me. I am currently Wiki El Dador's only admin.

Languages

So I was looking at other wikis and noticed that some have their wiki translated into other languages. Harry Potter and LOTR have them in almost 30 other languages. I think it would be cool if we translated our wiki into another language. Other wiki's don't have every page translated, so we dont have to translate everything. What are your guy's opinions?

Film adaptations of Gathering Blue, Messenger and Son

Hello everybody! I'm corious on what your guys thoughts would be if other books in The Giver series get film aduptations. I personally would if they didn't make it with similar advertsing to The Giver where they were just trying to sell to the audence of Divergent and Hunger Games and to a group of people who would enjoy it for what it actually could be. Also, I think relesing Messenger before Gathering Blue would make more sense so that more people with actually know how Gathering Blue is connected to The Giver and would actually see Messenger instead of watching The Giver then Gathering Blue and giving up after that point due to not enough connection.

Anyways, leave your thoughts in the comments!

The Giver Movie!

I literally just got out of the theater, and I have to say, it was amazing. Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil it! I have only a few things to say.

1. It was very different from the book.

2. It may have been better than the book.

3. There was a mention of something that was in Gathering Blue, but not the Giver. This may leave room for the sequel!

Personally, I loved the movie and hope that there'll be one for Gathering Blue. What are your thoughts?

Irrelevant Information

Lately I've been seeing a lot of irrelevant information going into articles as well as irrelevant categories being added to categories. So just a reminder, if I see to much of this from one user, you will be blocked for a week, first offense. Second offense will be longer. So please pay attention to what you are doing. If it's an accident I get it. But I hate wasting an hour fixing people's mistakes. And if you're doing it on purpose, it's really annoying. Don't do it to raise our rank on the wiki, cuz in my mind, your rank when you do that is dead zero. Thank You! Sorry for putting out a sour note but it had to be done to keep myself sane.
