Help
Hello GrouchMan, could you help with that problem too? Only it's for another site. -- Station7 19:53, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem that you had with the archive, that I did. But the datum etc, how do you make those letters so little? -- Station7 20:07, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * I mean from 5th November 2009 to 17th November 2009. -- Station7 20:09, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Fredwii
Not that I know of, no. By the way, do remember to vote for/against the proposed changes to the Canon Policy here. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:15, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a huge discussion going on about changing the canon policy as to that only book-canon should be included in the wiki. To cease the discussion, we've started a formal vote. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:41, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * I meant the exact opposite thing. Some users want to label all film-canon as non-canonical. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:50, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Re:JamesVI
Sorry for the late reply. I agree that we should be vigilant for any account that seems like it might be sockpuppet of JamesVI.

Hello fellow wizard
Hey GrouchMan, you seem like a very impressive Harry Potter wizard. Now what are you, Gryfindor or Slytherin? I am slytherin, because i enjoy Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy. -- Darkdove 8 01:02, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * very cool! Why do you like Gryffindor, is there a reason? (not trying to be mean)

Where?
Where are you on Wookieepedia? I couldn't find you. I'm on other wikia's to, but not that one. I was just wondering where you were on that site? I hope that that's fine ;) -- Station7 14:17, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Where can I find your user page on Wookieepedia? Please say it if you don't understand me, I will do my best. -- Station7 17:07, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Because I saw on your user page that you're an editor on Wookieepedia. -- Station7 17:11, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

RE:Harryhe
I'm certain of it. For one thing - his signature is identical to JamesVI's and Fredwii's. But mainly my suspision comes from the fact that he asked you why you thought Fredwii and JamesVI were the same person. He's a new user. How would he even know about JamesVI. Jayden Matthews 20:17, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

That doesn't mean exactly nothing, if I could see my meaning. If I ask about another person, could it be that someone don't wanna have that second account deleted, because those vandalism people are smart. On the lostpedia site, they thought that I was using to 2 other users, because we react at around the same time. I was mostly deleted, but not because they checked it for nothing. With this I mean that you not have to trust everybody just because of that reaction. He could probaly defence himself, but at the other hand not. Think about this. -- Station7 20:47, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Hi T.J.. How ya doing? Jayden Matthews 19:13, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I'm quite well, thanks. In fact, I've got something to share with you. These past few weeks I've been working a new skin for this site, which I'll propose to the community when it's completely finished. You can have a preview, if you'd like. Jayden Matthews 19:35, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's called a skin. Basically it's what determines the appearance of the Wiki itself. I don't dislike the current one. I just think it could be alot better. Anway, you can view my project here . Let me know what you think. Jayden Matthews 20:33, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * So, what do you think of it? Jayden Matthews 20:51, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Really? I'm so glad! It still needs alot of work though. Hopefully It'll be ready the propose in a few days. I'm not sure what the reaction from the community will be, though. Jayden Matthews 21:16, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I hope so. I think the main reaction will be - "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I guess we will find out soon enough. Jayden Matthews 21:25, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi T.J. How's it hanging? I've made a few changes to my project, if you'd care to take a look. Jayden Matthews 20:33, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm good, thanks. Just so you know, I've opened a forum discussing my proposal, if you want to leave your comments. Jayden Matthews 12:38, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's the place. Jayden Matthews 12:46, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Hey
Not too bad, all things considered. I had a pretty bad case of the flu early last week (regular, not swine). The first couple of days were the worst, but once I got past that, I was alright. Unfortunately, I had to skip Thanksgiving with my family, since my grandmother and my step-father's mother are both pretty frail, and I couldn't risk being around them while I was still contagious. We did a brunch earlier this week to make up for it, so I still got to spend some time with family, and they saved some turkey and stuff for me. My brother and my dad were also in town for their birthdays (Dec. 2nd, same day), so we went out for dinner last night, and I'm making plans to visit my grandparents for Christmas.

I've been working on trimming down the Wanted Pages list for the last few days, and I'm just about done. The list only updates once a day, around 07:00 (Wiki time), and once it does the next cache, it should be down to around 300. Since it was around 950 when I started, I'd say that's pretty good. Some of the remaining links are in some Users' talk pages and archives, so I'm going to be asking them for permission to go in and clean them up, which should knock out another 50 or so. The ones that are left are linked to templates, and I'm not going to mess with those, since too many things could go wrong from even slight changes that could negatively affect the Wiki.

Thanks for asking. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 16:49, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Rolf Scamander

RE:RE:RE:RE:Rolf Scamanader
Well, I would say just because even Luna is a sort of major character, her husbands great great grandmother would not be important enough to be an exception to the 2 generations rule. --- Ratneer (Owl me) 23:10, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Voting
Hi T.J.. Just to let you know, voting is now open on the skin issue. Jayden Matthews 13:34, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Hermes
Hermes appears in the first Harry Potter on Platform 9 3/4.
 * Yup, they're right, although he isn't named at the time.

"The speaker was a plump woman who was talking to four boys, all with flaming red hair. Each of them was pushing a trunk like Harry's in front of him - and they had an owl."

Also, here are some Muppet YouTube clips for you.
 * Muppets Studio channel. I particularly recommend the "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Habanera", and "Ode to Joy".
 * Turn the World Around. This was Jim Henson's favorite performance from the show.
 * Vintage Rowlf The Dog Montage. Did you know Rowlf was actually the first Muppet?
 * A couple of Muppet specials, including "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson" released after his death.
 * Just one Person. The finale of the "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson" mentioned above.
 * Some clips from Jim Henson's Memorial. Bring a hankie.
 * Another clip from the Memorial, with Big Bird singing "It's not easy being green".

 * Lobsters
 * Meatballs
 * Donuts
 * Cake
 * Hot Sauce

Relationship Categories
I noticed you've created a few "PERSON HERE's Relationships". Don't you think they are a bit... I don't know a word for it. There is only like 2 or 3 articles per category, is it really necessary? 21:41, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know, to me its seems like its just making categories to make categories. I mean, Its not like there are huge numbers in them, there like one or two. 22:02, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've seen no admins on since you created them. I guess I will start a discussion on the forum, see what everyone else thinks. 22:15, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh? You created those category a short while ago, I'm saying I haven't seen any admins on since then. 22:25, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I said that the categories you made were unnecessary, You said they were necessary, and you said that if the admins had a problem, then they would of said something. I said, that the admins haven't had a chance to see your new categories because none of them have been editing since you made the categories. BTW. I don't think it matters if the admins have seen them, its not like they are Supreme Ruler or anything lol. 22:31, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not really. The administrators are only there because they are trusted users who have special tools to deal with vandalism and other site related things. You, Me and the admins are all equal as editors, Arguments like "It is correct because an admin said so" doesn't work, because the admins have no actual authority over editors.
 * Administrators cant just block people willy nilly. If they do, they can be reported to central wikia. I am trying to find a article I saw once about admins. All editors are equal. That includes Admins.
 * I hope I don't come off as rude. By all means tell me if I am. BTW: If you wanted to check out the forum post for those categories you created and post your opinion, Its Here 22:53, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

David Colbert‎‎
You might want to hold off on that. There was already a forum discussion on the subject of unofficial guidebooks, and several of the admins said not to do articles for each of them. However, as mentioned in the forum, I still think a single "List of Harry Potter unofficial guidebooks" article would be a good idea, I just hadn't gotten around to it. Want to help? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 13:45, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Amazon.com is a good place to start. I'm thinking along the lines of the List of Harry Potter fan websites. It would list each book by title, with author and publisher names and weblinks if possible, and a short, one or two sentence description. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 13:52, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * I started the article. Right now I've just listed a couple of them and used the Amazon.com links. Links to the authors or publishers are preferable, and I'll try to find them and some more details about each book as I go along. This'll probably end up being a fairly big article eventually. I don't think it'll be necessary to list them on the list of fan websites article too, it'd just be kind of redundant. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 14:09, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Prewett brothers
Some articles serve as informational hubs, gathering information on a broad topic and giving a general overview of it, like Dark Arts, Hogwarts, etc. The issue that I see with pages like Fabian and Gideon Prewett, Fred and George Weasley, and Parvati and Padma Patil is that the relationships between these people are already covered in their individual articles, and a relationship doesn't seem like a broad enough topic to warrant its own summary article. I can also see these pages leading to the creation of a lot similar pages (James and Lily Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, etc.). That's why I think that pages like Fabian and Gideon Prewett should remain strictly disambiguation pages. <font color="Green">&#x2605; <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!) 11:05, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
