Sockpuppet
Hey Cavalier. I think we might have another shot at sockpuppet abuse. Anabellaswan and Horace E. F. Slughorn have both been inactive since August 15. Today on the Talk:Hermione Granger page, they both have voted 40 minutes apart. Sorry for suspecting if my theory is wrong, but I find it weird since they both have been inactive for about 7 months and both get on the wiki the same day 40 minutes apart. Reply back. Thanks.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 01:29, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Another thing to back up my claim is that the only things they both have voted on they have voted on together.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. Hogwarts.jpg( Send an owl! ) 04:28, March 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks Cavalier. Now we can solve this matter once and for all.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. Hogwarts.jpg( Send an owl! ) 18:54, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm really sorry for that. It won't happen again.--Station7 18:56, March 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, did you get any response from the wikia check user yet?-- L.V.K.T.V.J. Hogwarts.jpg( Send an owl! ) 17:29, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh well. Thanks anyway, Cavalier.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. Hogwarts.jpg( Send an owl! ) 18:01, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Shortcut redirects
Hey, Cav. This may not be any of my business, but I've noticed GrouchMan is changing the shortcut redirects (for example, in the user welcome message) again (for example, here and here), after your previous warnings to stop. I wasn't snooping; I merely noticed those earlier warnings while looking through the recent changes page, and I didn't want to get in the middle of anything. I just thought you'd like to know, so you can proceed from that point. Cheers. -- Cubs Fan (Talk to me)  20:55, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've noticed this as well. Also, despite being told not to format peoples talk pages he continues to do so. –K.A.J•T•C•E• 21:08, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you guys. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!! ) 22:50, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know it's not really any of my business, but isn't a month a bit much? For the first block, wouldn't a week be enough to get the message across? Granted, he does need to lay off the pointless user talk page editing and focus on something more constructive, but I've seen deliberate vandalism blocked for less time than that. - Nick O'Demus 08:59, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Warning
I'm sorry about that Cavalier but I just can't help myself when it comes to stuff like that. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!! ) 22:54, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if you think it's really that pointless & you think I should stop so be it. What does "continue in this vein" mean? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!! ) 23:00, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very well. Is it really that big a deal? It's not like I'm deliberately vandalizing pages. I've made now over 20000 edits & not once have I vandalized even a user talk page. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!! ) 23:04, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very well. So how's the vandal rate lookin so far? It's not too bad is it? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!! ) 23:12, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Redirects
What if I saw redirects on somebody's user page & I suggested they fix them? Does that sound like a better idea? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!! ) 23:02, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

User pages/user talk pages

What does it take to become an administrator? Does it take lots of edits and good behavior?

Just curious and wondering

Edit Dates
Hey Cav,

I'm having a bit of a problem with dates. You know the last edited by tags at the bottom of each article? Well I just found out that whenever I make an edit, it says "Quidditch Lover made an edit on" and then some random date. Maybe it's because I haven't been active in so long, but I don't know why inactivity would affect edit dates. There's one that says January 17, 2010, and other that says May 10, 2009. Do you have any idea why this is happening? It's not a major issue, so I don't have a problem with it, just curious. Thanks. <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color=gold>Q <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="green">u <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="gold">i <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="green">d <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="gold">d <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="green">i <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="gold">t <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="green">c <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="gold">h <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="green">L <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="gold">o <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="green">v <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="gold">e <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="green">r <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color="gold">(My <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color=green>talk) <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color=gold>(cont <font face="Script MT Bold" size=3 color=green>ribs) 18:39, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Editing
Do you mind if I give you an award at your "Awards" section?

Articles on the Grangers
The article states that the parents ,,, Mr and Mrs Granger,,,, recieved a letter informing them that their daughter was a witch and would be attending Hogwarts. I was under the impression that Hogwarts sent a representative, staff member?, to inform Mugle parents about their children, The articles make no mention of this and seem to suggest that in the Grangers case, it was not necessary. Im sure the Canon states that a representative is always sent to mugle parents. Could you look into this, A personal response would be appriciated.

New article
The 8th Horcrux - Is having a MySpace page and being featured in their high-school newspaper "notable"? The way this is written makes me suspect it was done by one of the band members as self-promotion. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 10:31, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is something I noticed back when a lot of these articles were first being created last fall, but it was never really discussed further and the new wrock band articles kind of slowed for a while, so I let it kind of get pushed to the backburner. But take a look at this list. Every one of those has a MySpace page, which anybody can create. I don't think that alone can be justified as "notable". There were a few things I found that might count as "notable", such as convention appearances or news articles, listed on Grouchman's talk page here. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 10:43, March 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's not really something I'm "in to" either, most of what I know is what I've read online. I'll do some more looking around, and start a forum discussion when I've come up with something more definitive. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 11:30, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Article Deletion
an unregistered user redirected my newly created page Bearers of the Dark Mark into the Death Eater page and it seems the whole page has been deleted and i cannot get it back. it was not about the death eaters it was about who has been branded with the Dark Mark

Previous warning
Hey Cavalier, it's T.J.. This is my other account that I made after the Muppet Wiki blocked the GrouchMan account for a year. I want you to know that I've learned my lesson about what you said, & from now on I'll ask other users before editing their user pages. Thanks -- &#91;&#91;User:Greymon101&#124;&lt;font color=&quot;Green&quot;&gt;Greymon101&lt;/font&gt;&#93;&#93; (&#91;&#91;User talk:Greymon101&#124;&lt;font color=&quot;Green&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Terra Force!!&lt;/font&gt;&#93;&#93;) 02:01, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Warning
Well if you really think it's that insignificant then it will stop. But what's the big deal about it anyway? I still don't understand. -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! ) 02:04, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right. However if you ever notice that Seth Cooper's user page has been edited by me then I want you to know that he gave me permission to edit it whenever I see redirects. I hope you understand that. -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! ) 02:19, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Workpad
Hey Cavalier, I think your workpad has a few redirects you may wanna fix. But if you'd like me to do it I certainly would. BUT I knew I should ask for your permission 1st. Thanks!! -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! ) 20:30, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Harryhe/JamesVI/Fredwii
Hey Cavalier, what's the word on that annoying user who makes a new account every time he gets blocked? I believe his accounts are Harryhe, James VI, and Fredwii.

Gonorhea
Cav, what's wrong with Gonorhea's username? I don't quite understand why it's unacceptable. -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! ) 13:53, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, considering that there is no sex in the Harry Potter universe or on this wiki, and User:Gonorhea's username is a sexually transmitted disease, I would think it inappropriate. Remember, Grouchie, that we have 12 year olds who edit this site. --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch Ravenclawcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 14:02, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Fleur Delacour image
Hi

I was wondering can we use the image I just put onto the Fleur Delacour page as her profile picture.

Ok but can you at least do me this image of fleur File:Fleur234.jpg

But with this background

File:Padma_Patil_002.jpg

Please this is my only request.

Please do it. When I say the background I don't mean add Padma I mean the background used for the photo not Padma herself

That would take a heck of alot of Photoshopping! I think I'll be able to do it though.

My talk page
Cav, this guy won't stop changing the format of the links to my archived talk pages even after I fix it again. Has he done something like that on your talk page at all? He also left a stupid message: "What do you think is the Meaning of Life?". I deleted the message already but he keeps messin w/ my talk page. What do you think I should do about this? -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! P.S. Have a rotten day!!!! ) 16:26, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Stupid advice

GrouchMan
Hi, Cavalier One. I'm writting to you about GrouchMan. Despite your final warning he continues to repeat the behaviour that lead to him being blocked a few months ago. On Monday, I noticed he had edited the shortcut redirects in the welcome template of an anon's talk page. I warned him that future infractions would lead to him being blocked again. He agreed, and promised it would never happen again. He then asked if he could edit the shortcut redirects in my user page. I kindly asked him not to, and suggested that he should avoid such things completely in the future. Apparently, I don't get a say in what happens to my own page. He edited it anyway. I gave him another warning, and he apologized, promising to do his very best to resist. He lasted two days before doing it yet again. I'm not saying this because I want to get him into trouble. It just annoys me that he thinks he is above the rules, and that he can edit other people's pages regardless of their own wishes. I'm sure you agree, this cannot continue. Please take whatever action you feel is necessary. Thanks for listening. <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#406B2E">J <font face="Microsoft Sans Serif"><font color="#8DB87A">a <font color="#406B2E">y <font color="#8DB87A">c <font color="#406B2E">e  <font face="Arial" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8;">Darkmark.png•<font color="#406B2E">Avada Kedavra •<font color="#8DB87A">Crucio •<font color="#406B2E">Imperio • 16:41, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

1 final chance
Hello Cavalier, I am truly sincerly sorry for all my screw-ups. I juwanted to say that, if in 1 week from today I've messed up again, I'll give it up without a fight and I'll gladly leave the Wiki in peace. You've got my word on that. & from now on the only thing that I'll focus on are redirects on articles. I'll give all of you a little break & take a few days off. I hope you can soon forgive me. Thanks again! -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! P.S. Have a rotten day!!!! ) 17:59, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

GrouchMan block
Hey, Cavalier. I'm sorry to say that I was snooping around other wikis, but I wanted to know how Grouchman was doing after being banned from the wiki. According to this, Grouchman says he suffers from Asperger syndrome, a type of autism that causes signifigant patterns of interests and behavior, which explains why he has had trouble with trying not to fix redirects on talk pages, etc. I am not telling you to unblock him, but I just wanted to explain to you why he has had trouble with you giving him warnings and him not fully obeying you. Thanks.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 16:50, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Sinistra
You may have reverted and locked the page, but if you really want to get rid of all my Sinistra work, you'll have to move all the pictures of the character back to "Images of Unidentified female teacher", because I moved them all to "Images of Aurora Sinistra". Plus, i've said she was Sinistra on Natalie Hallam's page, and you'll also have to restore "Unidentified female teacher (I)". One more thing: there is no reference to the unidentified employees' possibility of being Sinistra, so you'll have to re-add them in the Behind the Scenes section, aswell as remove the Forum:Aurora Sinistra page and User:Butterfly the rabbit/Sinistra draft aswell.

 * Are you serious? Surely the community has a right to decide which features our wiki supports. It shouldn't be within the power of the bureaucrats of the central wiki, or those users who contribte exclsively to the blogs to override a community vote. <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#406B2E">J <font face="Microsoft Sans Serif"><font color="#8DB87A">a <font color="#406B2E">y <font color="#8DB87A">c <font color="#406B2E">e  <font face="Arial" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8;">Darkmark.png•<font color="#406B2E">Avada Kedavra •<font color="#8DB87A">Crucio •<font color="#406B2E">Imperio • 16:55, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * True enough, although the result would pretty much be the same. Wikia would still lose this community. All it's members, all the content we've written and our skin. I don't think we should atually do it. I just though it might make them see things our way. Failling that, we could always create a policy banning the use of blogs completely, regardless of wether or not the feature itself remains. <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#406B2E">J <font face="Microsoft Sans Serif"><font color="#8DB87A">a <font color="#406B2E">y <font color="#8DB87A">c <font color="#406B2E">e  <font face="Arial" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8;">Darkmark.png•<font color="#406B2E">Avada Kedavra •<font color="#8DB87A">Crucio •<font color="#406B2E">Imperio • 08:28, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

How can I become admin as I would like to help out round here, I have a vast knowledge of Harry Potter and have read all the books and watched all the released films, so would be of great help when it comes to canon information and non-canon information. Thanks for your help pday2387 16:30, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Rollback
Lord Voldemort killed the vampire James put in a request for Rollback rights a while ago, and I just wanted to mention that I think he's earned the privilege. Also, according to the Local list users page, Thorning and Smonocco don't have Rollback either, and I think by now they've proven themselves as reliable, trustworthy users. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 19:34, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

poor syntax and spelling error in lavander brown article
referance lavander brown,,,, see prove ,,, improper english,,, and whiile,, bad spelling

Seven Page
On the page for the magical number Seven it claims only Seven people know the entrance for The Chamber of Secrets: Salazar Slytherin, Tom Riddle, Myrtle, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, and Gilderoy Lockhart

However Hermione Granger would know the entrance as she has also visited the chamber when she and Ron went to the chamber to find a Basilisk fang to destroy a horcrux.


 * Gilderoy Lockheart knew, but then he accidently casted that memory spell on himself, so he forgot. So we need to switch Gilderoy with Hermione, that still makes seven. Although, I'm pretty sure that Harry would've told Dumbledore, it only makes sense, no? --TheBook — (talk | contribs) 18:40, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Blog policy use
Hi, I'm an admin over at the Doctor Who Wiki, I just wanted to make sure it was okay to use the general essence of your blog policy and no personal attacks policy, as we're in the process of drawing up our own blog/forum policy? Also should I attribute / link back to your policy on our finished policy page? Thanks. --Tangerineduel 15:02, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Cabins
Dear Cavalier One,

About a month or two ago, I started contributing to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians wiki, another series I enjoy. Over there, they have Wiki Cabins. Don't ask about the cabins part, its got something to do with the series, takes to much room to explain (and very much time to type!). Anyway, they have four cabins. Apollo cabin who deals with images and image licensing, Ares cabin who is the vandal-fighters, Demeter cabin, dealing with wiki growth, and Hermes cabin, dealing with the stalwart of gardians and new users. I thought maybe here, you and the other Admins could make wiki HOUSES! I don't how to make them or add people, im just giving u a rough Idea. You're the admin not me... but I'd like to a prefect or something like that......
 * Hufflepuff, wiki growth
 * Gryffindor, Vandal-fighting.
 * Slytherin, Stalwart of gardians and new users (i honestly dont know wat that means.)
 * Ravenclaw, Image licensing and editing.

Hi,Cavalier One, I'm The avatar (Avatar) the admin who came up with Wiki Cabins from Camp Half-Blood wiki. If you do in fact consider this "Wiki House" thing then feel free to take a look at what the Wiki Cabins are here: Wiki Cabins. And towards Shooting Starz, they deal with new users, I suggest you read the Wiki Cabin Page before you start talking about them as though you know exactly what they do. Thanks for you time, Cavalier.  Avatar  ( Talk ) 13:45, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Help
How do I put a picture on my avatar? Can you tell me step by step because I'm following what the steps says but they aren't coming up. Can you tell me please?

Fan fiction
Dear Cavalier One,

I need permission from the administrators to write my fanfic on my blog. Last wiki I did it on almost blocked me for it!! Thanx! I'm getting permission from the other admins as well.

Shooting Starz

Okay. I still have my journal.
Thanks for warning me about fanfics. I still have my journal. I can tell you about my story there but I doubt you care... no one seems to.

P.S. I almost always have a P.S. on my comments....

P.S.S. How can I make a custom signature?

Shooting Starz

Re:Cabins
I expected as much, and no problem, as you mentioned to Shooting it's meant for growing wikis.  Avatar  ( Talk ) 12:05, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Help
Do you know anyone that can help me though?

Dates
A user has brought up a very good point about our British style and dates on this wiki. See the forum here:Forum:Date Month --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 02:27, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Image policy
The new image policy states, "Do not upload images found on any website other than an officially licensed site, or recognised fan community site (Mugglenet, etc) which has access to official images and news." How does this apply to images that show canon subjects (e.g. film props on exhibit somewhere) but which are not taken from a source specifically related to fandom (a newspaper, Flickr, etc.)? <font color="Green">★ <font face="Times" color="green">S <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">a <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">r <font face="Times" color="green">s <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">u <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">f <font face="Times" color="green">f <font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!) 00:42, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

I think to start doing this someone should teach it. Can you tell me how, please?

I know that my opinion is not important and that is a standard, but let me note that I disagree with the new image policy.Is totally unnecessary, in my opinion. What is important is what the images bring to the articles.Pol 871 08:51, August 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Seth and I are careful to correctly attribute prop exhibit and WWoHP pictures we upload, but most of these images aren't in the public domain (i.e. freely-licensed), and thus we use them on fair use grounds, like all other copyrighted material on this wiki. Is this an issue? <font color="Green">★ <font face="Times" color="green">S <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">a <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">r <font face="Times" color="green">s <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">u <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">f <font face="Times" color="green">f <font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!) 03:26, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

anyone else?
Do you know anyone who knows anyone people on set?

Vault
Also, have you seen any pictures of what the Lestrange Vault looks like because I must KNOW. You don't know how badly I'm dying to know what it looks like.

Question
I recently deleted the article In Memory of Fred Weasley, and I noticed this is the 3rd time it has been done. I know there is a way to protect certain page titles to keep them from being recreated, but I can't figure out how to do so. How do I give this the Protected Titles status?


 * Nevermind, I think I figured it out. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 11:38, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

blocking my account?
I am currently on hollydays and I have almost no time, only the right to edit. When I return home within two days, I promise to implement the new policy in the pictures that I've uploaded. Yet I can not help feeling disappointed with the treatment I receive from the administration, I think I've proven to be a user friendly, cooperative and a good source of images.I believe that by blocking my account, this wiki will lose more than winning, although the images are more organized. I am frankly disappointed after all the work I have contributed to the site and I hope there is someone who values most what I do not do not do, which is simply not applying the new policy due to lack of time.Pol 871 16:07, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'm very disappointed by their way of doing things. I have never refused to carry out the new policy is more, I undertook to implement just arrived from my vacation, because at that time did not have enough time, but you do not believe it. I am aware that the rules must be respected, and will do so because I have always fulfilled, as it should be. I hope you understand my reasons and we can end this problem, for my part I will respect the new policy. Like I said, I did not only lack of time. Please let me respond.

Hi Cavalier One
I was wondering if you could tell me how to do something. I have seen a few people post things at the Wizangamot and sign there name and put thing like (send me an owl) and things like that could you explain to me how to do it?

Thanks a lot,

Castle related moves
User:Jpkilleen moved pretty much every article that dealt with places in the castle last night. I think most should be moved back b/c of caps style in the titles. --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 15:11, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Image verification
I'm sorry for not adding the source to the Quibbler file. I have added a source, although I'm not sure if I did it correctly (it's my first picture upload). Just wanted to let you know that I attempted to fix it. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. HPfanatic08 04:40, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Recent uploads
You're welcome. As I have always said, I am a contributing editor. So let me clarify why such question. I recently re-released the entire photo gallery of members of the Order of the Phoenix, as many of the photos were of whole body and could not appreciate either the person in the picture. Wherefore I cut the profile images of some characters in order to clearly see who they are. That is, the image is the same but cut specifically for the order item. As for the image of Lily, sorry. I had not noticed, so the back up properly.Pol 871 09:52, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for fixing my user page and talk page after that unregistered user messed them up! :-) --BachLynn23 19:06, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * No kidding, that would have really sucked if I had to do my home page all over again. I hate people like that, that just mess things up for no reason. --BachLynn23 19:13, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hi! On the page about Dumbledore's Army's coin, it mentions that Zacharias Smith had been a traitor also, I was curious, where did this happen, I was under the impression that the only traitor was Marietta? --BachLynn23 20:21, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Fonts
Hi! You know on the main page, you've got headings in the Harry Potter font? How did you get it like that? Lucky Star  13:31, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

User video uploads policy
I know we have a policy limiting user images, but what about videos? Because to me, this should qualify as excessive. I'd like a second opinion though before I delete them. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 05:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seconded. It would be one thing if the video were BTS stuff, but mostly they are just stupid videos, rick rolling and such. --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch Ravenclawcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 05:30, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

New Users
Do you have any idea why it is taking a while for new users to get their talk page message that creates their page (turning their name from red to blue)? It has been this way for a couple of days. I've left warnings on pages that don't even have the automatic welcome message 20 minutes after they edited. Thanks, --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 20:02, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Cedric
I would normally go to Seth (who is out of town) or Nick (who is having computer issues) with this, but could you look at General Ironbeak's recent edits to Cedric Diggory. I think he was excessive (especially deleting the entire "Post Mortem" section). --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 03:49, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

 * Video uploads are for official use in articles only. Fan-made videos and non-HP related videos are not allowed, and will be deleted. Users may post links to videos on sites such as YouTube on their userpages.

I'll start a discussion in the forums for the proposal with the revised wording. Thanks. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 08:57, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

re: upload
Hey, thanks for pointing out that to me, but I'm still confused as to where the information template is, you said it was on the upload page, but all I saw after I uploaded the photo (while I was editing the hangman page), was the license information and caption, and image size. Am I not uploading the picture in the right spot? Maybe that's why I didn't see the template. Also, would the source be the website I snapped the picture from (using jing)? You know what, just go ahead and delete it, I'll leave uploading pictures to others, I was going to delete it but I don't know how. Thanks! :-) --BachLynn23 21:37, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Confused me...
Hi. I noticed there are a number of articles about foods. I don't quite see why these are included unless the are specific to the magical world or have some important role in the story. Articles such as "Steak" and "Butter" seem slightly over the top. Do they exist in the Books? Of course. Are they important to the story? I can't think of a time when they are. Do they need their own articles? Definitely not. Please tell me if I'm missing some critical reason for why they exist, and if not, please delete them as they seem to contribute absolutely nothing to the wiki. Thank You! -LegolasFan- aka User 76.214.52.217 22:33, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Image Replacing Problem
Today, I tried to upload higher quality images of two current images on the wiki. When I uploaded them, they did not show up. I have never had this problem before in the past, so I am not sure what's wrong. Are you able to do anything to fix it? Jack5555 02:35, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
