The Tenth Planet R1 release

Hi, re this edit - it wasn't the ref that "kept getting removed" - it was the unsourced date; and it was only removed once (in the last 60 days). --Redrose64 (talk) 19:42, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I was aware; before the ref was only in the edit summary. I meant that the problem wasn't in the source itself. I probably should have worded it differently. Glimmer721 talk 16:20, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is a 2008 science fiction novel by the American writer Suzanne Collins (pictured). It is written in the voice of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, exercises political control over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle to the death. In writing the novel, Collins drew upon Greek mythology, Roman gladiatorial games, and contemporary reality television for thematic content. The novel won many awards, including the California Young Reader Medal, and was named one of Publishers Weeklys "Best Books of the Year" in 2008. Since its release, The Hunger Games has been translated into 26 languages, and publishing rights have been sold in 38 territories. The novel is the first in The Hunger Games trilogy, followed by Catching Fire (2009) and Mockingjay (2010). A film adaptation, directed by Gary Ross and co-written and co-produced by Collins herself, was released in 2012. ('Full article...)
