This page needs serious work

I tried to clean it up somewhat - it was totally disorganized and littered with obviously false joke statements and NPOV interjections - but it's still pretty atrocious, and I'm not sure how much of it is true. Ugh. -Elmer Clark 04:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

May you can see id the info is right online like on http://pilkey.com/ or go on other sites. --Gemini531 22:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to clean it because I'm a fan of him but I'm really busy now doing other clean up. he iz so kool - Cute 1 4 u 01:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't really clean it up but i'll add the tag.-- Cute 1 4 u 07:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey this page is disorganized with everyone's statements but i'm leaving one too so i can't say anything but I l.o.v.e. your books and I hope you write some more cause you have a great talent no one else has! see U later! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.67.234.254 (talk) 17:24, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sue Denim?

Why does this article redirect from "Sue Denim"? There's no mention of it on this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.87.162.208 (talk) 12:21, 3 May 2007

Pilkey used the pseudonym Sue Denim as the author of his Dumb Bunnies series. --Oddharmonic 04:09, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this right?

In the beginning of the article, it says he wrote the Captain Underpants and The Adventures of Super Diaper baby at age 12. Is this right? --Firesun 14:29, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it is not right. He started writing about Captain Underpants and "Diaper Man" at age 8. "Diaper Man" eventually became both a hero and a villain in Dav's books. He became the villainous Dr. Diaper in the first Captain Underpants epic novel and the heroic Super Diaper Baby in the epic graphic novel The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.189.10.62 (talk) 02:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish?

Somewhere I heard that he is Jewish. Could someone mabye find something on the internet that says that? I have nothing wrong with him being Jewish, its just that it should be mentioned in the Philosophical and/or political views section of the article. The End 1493 (talk) 23:42, 29 December 2007 (UTC) No he does not have that honor of being Jewish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.189.10.62 (talk) 19:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Release dates

Does anybody know anything about the release date of any of Dav's next books? The last C.U. book was released in 2006, and his website hasn't been updated since then. >_> 114.77.6.119 (talk) 08:40, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's because Dav's been taking a break for a few years, so he can help his ill father. Oh, wait and there will be a book from him that will be reasuled in August 2010--72.161.59.164 (talk) 23:48, 28 March 2010 (UTC)I got it its called The Adventures of Ook and Gluk Kung Fu Cavemen From the Future. It is cool. I got the last copy of it in the shop. Shnupbups (talk) 11:09, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quotation from The Educational Book & Media Association

The quotation needs to be properly cited, or paraphrased. If keeping as a quote, it should be framed as a cquote. Better to paraphrase and cite the actual publication containing this quotation.Trashbird1240 (talk) 20:47, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
