Please Help Me
Hi, I am new to the Wiki and there is a lot of stuff I try to do but can't figure out how to.

It seems like you know this really well, so could you explain how to add userboxes and (I don't know what this is called) the large box where birth date, blood status, family members, and all that stuff is?

Also, how do you put on a picture?

Please help, I'm clueless here.

Thanks.

chat mods
Hey, I heard we didn't have any chat mods assigned, and admins aren't on chat much, I have been some and would like to suggest making User:Speedysnitch a chat mod, they are in fairly frequently during the week and a lot on the weekend, and have 600 edits and seem fairly mature. Wasn't sure if that was something I should just go ahead and assign or how we'd go about dealing with chat mods.--<font face="Vivaldi" size="5" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Send an Owl! ) 21:03, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Voldemort's Name
True but who's to say that Tom wasn't short for Thomas and Tom was a nickname that he used (prior to assuming the guise of Lord Voldemort). True, he didn't like a common name (which is why he chose Voldemort) but he still needed a name and didn't feel any reason prior to the age of 16 to change his name, despite finding it common and mundane.

Jdogno7 13:24, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Edit Warring
It is not meant to be an edit war. I am merely undoing your edits as it is less time consuming than replacing the nickname Tom with the full name Thomas at the relevant points. You haven't answered my question. Is there anything that is INCONTREVERTIBLE, UNCONTRADICTABLE or ABSOLUTE that Tom isn't his full name but a nickname and Thomas is his full birth first name?

As I previously pointed out, Voldemort may have only used "Tom Marvolo Riddle" as it made the perfectly neat anagram of "I am Lord Voldemort", which he couldn't have done with Thomas, as he would have the word "has" or "ash" (two most likely real words you could make with those three letters alone) or just the three letters, h, a and s left over.

As I have come to understand, after asking people who have lost loved ones, it is unecessary for one to put the complete or full name of anyone on a gravestone, or even a name at all. If "grandpa" Riddle was burried under the name Thomas, it was most likely that he either wanted to be burried under that name or simply the name, he was best known by. Same for "Tom Riddle Sr."/Thomas "Tom" Riddle II, he was burried as simply Tom Riddle, because that was the name he was best known by, to others.

The only reason, he wasn't burried as Thomas Riddle II/Tom Riddle II was because no one in Little Hangelton, including Thomas Riddle II, knew that there was a Thomas Riddle III until the day the Riddles were killed. That would have been the first meeting between son and father, grandson and paternal grandparents.

The orphanage would have most likely had to legally register its wards, so it woudl have been on Muggle legal records that Voldemort was born Thomas Marvolo Riddle/Tom Marvolo Riddle, but not necessarily that that he was the son of Thomas Riddle II/Tom Riddle II of Little Hangleton and certainly not Merope Gaunt as she would never have existed according to Muggle legal records as well as Marvolo Gaunt.

Hello seth! If you make someone a chat mod, can you unchat mod them? I'm wondering... <font face="Arial" size="2" color="Orange" >Speedysnitch (<font face="Monotype Western" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 21:50, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering, did you delete a page called The Original Forty? You marked it as redundant and unnecessary information but it's from one of JKR's first notebooks... just wondering because I published it and left the page for a second then refreshed and said you'd deleted it. It's information from Pottermore I found. (If you'd like another friend, I'm NifflerIce56) Xenophiliusisamazing 19:27, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Death Eater in HP4 film???
Hi Seth, I need again your help about something. On the french Wikia, someone created today a page about a Death Eater exclusive to the Goblet of Fire film fr:Calahan and after a little search, I can view that there's a mention on the french Wikipedia and I don't find any page on this wiki. I have seen several times the scene in the cemetary this evening (in english and in french): they think that it's a name that is pronounced between Crabbe and Macnair but for my part I'm not sure, do you know if this problem was discussed here in the past and/or what do you think about this?

A few times ago, I left a question about Dudley's gang (in archive 14) but I had no answer: do you know someone who can help me about this?

I have created 3 exclusive pages about the french version on the french wikia last week (mentionned in the Quidditch through the ages). When I will have more time, I will create them here too but I will need your help about this, as usual. See you soon. -- 19:26, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Seth, Thank you for your answer. I had the same feeling about this fake Death Eater but I wanted to talk to someone, which is not easy because I am currently the only active administrator on the French wiki. I had fixed this morning the french pages about Dudley's gang and I'll try to be aware about further changes here. And yes, it was these french pages, I hesitated, I did not know whether to translate "Académie française des sorciers". For your information, I give you the whole french text :

"Glossaire à l'usage des apprentis sorciers Le Quidditch est né en Grande-Bretagne et le vocabulaire qui s'y rattache est bien entendu anglais. Pendant des siècles, l'usage de ces termes anglais a prévalu sur tous les terrains d'Europe. Cependant, depuis la fondation, en 1635, de l'Académie française des sorciers, une commission d'experts présidée par deux éminents académiciens, Boniface Toubeau et Archibald Bienbon, a créé des équivalents français à l'usage des équipes - et des supporters - de notre pays. Nous publions ci-dessous un glossaire anglais-français des principaux termes employés." "Les balais cités dans cet ouvrage ne sont pas toujours commercialisés sous le même nom en Grande-Bretagne et en France. Voici les équivalents de marque qui permettront aux lecteurs de s'y retrouver s'ils souhaitent faire l'achat d'un balai." "Un dernier conseil : si vous vous rendez prochainement en Grande-Bretagne, n'oubliez pas d'emporter ce glossaire, il pourra peut-être se révéler utile si vous rencontrez quelques sorciers locaux..." and the list of terms, but when there's a page on the french wiki, we add a interlink here.
 * Another question... Is there a page here where I can find the whole text on Chocolate Frog Cards in games? I explain my problem. In the french version (PC), for Hengist of Woodcroft, it says: "(Moyen Âge, dates inconnues. Persécuté par les Moldus, Hengist aurait fui pour se réfugier en Écosse, fondant le village de Pré-au-Lard." and I have found this on the net: blog page there's a mention to the Three Broomsticks (les Trois Balais) that is missing in the french version, so I would compare both versions for other wizards. I have recorded the french versions fr:Folio Magi here, my husband hasn't finished the game yet (I've bought it in a fleamarket last year / last week I've bought several Harry Potter items, some posters, a electronic book, some trading cards and a frame. I normally search... old fashion dolls, nothing to do with Harry Potter) -- 13:27, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

SETHH! Why did you delete my page? It was the only file I saved with my year 1 fanfic info! WAAAAAA :(

Thank you SO MUCH for reposting it! I have saved it on my computer and sorry for that I 1. didn't know and 2. it was the only thing that was working because the internet had stopped and it was the only page up (and micorosoft word had been acidentally uninstalled so i had to install it again)

Horrible English
Hey, Seth. Sorry for my horrible English on the pages Académie française des sorciers, Boniface Toubeau and Archibald Bienbon. I'm from Denmark and had to use Google Translate to translate the French. So actually it's the Translator's fault, and not mine. --Danniesen

Rowena Ravenclaw
Seth,

Please edit out the third point on Rowena Ravenclaws in the behind the sceens section, because it was rather insulting. This is the point:


 * Despite being a house that values intelligence, the house has its quota of female beauties (Rowena and Helena Ravenclaw, Cho Chang, Padma Patil, Luna Lovegood), and even Fleur Delacour, who decided to sit at the Ravenclaw table while staying in Hogwarts. Male Ravenclaws such as Roger Davies have also been described as good looking. Even Filius Flitwick, Ravenclaw's head of house in the 1990s, was described as good-looking in his younger days. Ravenclaw's effigies also depict a beautiful albeit intimidating-looking woman 

According to what is written, if you are beautiful and in Ravenclaw that is rather surprising! It is helping propetuate the belief that if you are beautiful (or handsome) you must not be very smart.

Plus the page is about Rowena Ravenclaw not about the students in her house. None of the other pages of the founders have listed a list of it's members during Harry's year.

Thanks DebMannd1068 23:06, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I took care of it, Seth. Shorty1982 23:16, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

What Constitutes a Stub?
I was curious because I noticed a number of articles that were marked as stubs, but I'm not realy sure why. I was under the impression that articles generally are supposed to be marked as stubs if there is significant content regarding the subject that still needs to be added and not necessarily simply because they are small in size. For example, Poisonous duck is marked as a stub, but what else can be said about that subject (unless a discussion of the characteristics of ducks in general is desired)? It is only given the barest of mentions in one book. There are a number of creatures like this that are marked as stubs, such as the Gulping Plimpy, to give another example. ProfessorTofty 03:11, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. Based on that, I will probably be removing the stub tag from a number of articles, possibly doing some minor fix-up or adding if there is anything that can be improved without indulging in speculation or canon-violation. ProfessorTofty 19:58, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Zacharias Smith
There's a problem with Smith's page. Could you check it please? It's explained on the talk page. Rodolphus shows a problem with the year (I'm agree with him...) and me too: there's a pic of the battle of Hogwarts that is added and people said it's Smith, but there's no evidence that it's him at all. Thank you. -- 11:32, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for deleting that second photo for me. I would have done it myself but I didn't know how. Thanks again.

Robert Ripley
Hi Seth. Just thought I'd let you know that Dannisen is now logging out in order to remove the "deletion" tag from the Robert Ripley article, using an IP address nearly identical to the one he used to argue against his previous block. He seems to think that he's the invisible man:) Jayden Matthews 14:35, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Streeler and Giant orange snail
The page of the streeler has a picture with a Chocofrog, but I think that this Chocofrog is not depicted as a Streeler: it's a (in french a "escargot orange, I believe it's in english "poisonous orange snail") so as the wiki have two pages, one for Streeler and one for Orange snail (which doesn't seem to be able to change color, because of their name and their appearance in the games), I think that the pic should be move, but maybe I'm wrong because I played only with the french version of the game. In Harry Potter Trading Card Game, there's a picture of a streeler, no doubt, here it's written streeler on the card, so it's possible to change the pic. -- 17:02, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Equus poster
Hi Seth. It's a scan of an actual copy of the poster. You can tell it's the same issue as the one in the cafe becasue of the slightly sepia colouration, not found in later editions. The poster is advertising the premier of the revival in Shaftesbury Ave. To be honest, I would have tagged those articles even if the posted wasn't dated 2007. Jayden Matthews 11:48, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the one in the cafe is a leaflet or program, rather than a full poster. But still, those articles Dannisen created would be unnecessary in any case. Jayden Matthews 10:33, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Stubs, Part Two
While looking over the list of book stubs, I noticed a number of articles based solely on books that were briefly featured at J.K. Rowling's Official Site - David Copperfield, Pride and Prejudice. I'm not really sure of the point of having articles based solely on books briefly given a mention at the website that actually have any association with the Harry Potter series - it sort of reminds me of the recent debates regarding the Robert Ripley and other such articles. However, assuming we are keeping these articles, what would be the best way to clear them out of stub status? I was thinking maybe a brief line or two describing the plot of each one, along with a link to Wikipedia's entry for them. Perhaps also their own category and a template indicating in some way that they're here because they were mentioned at the official website, but we're not interested in hosting more detailed articles on them. ProfessorTofty 19:03, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good. I'll go ahead with that, then, and we can get those "stub" tags cleared off of some more pages. ProfessorTofty 21:57, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Reply from Night Owl 87
Hello Seth, and thanks for the welcome! :) All I was attempting was a minor edit, where it listed Albus Dumbledore having died in June of 1998 instead of 1997 (which of course, due to Snape's own death the following year was impossible). I thought I had checked the "Minor edit" box; but maybe it got unselected while I was checking the Help and Preview pages. There was already some information in the "Edit Summary" box; and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to delete that, or just add my own notation(s) on to the end. I know some HTML code; but it has been a long time since I last used it, so I didn't want to risk messing up anything. Hope I didn't occasion any confusion, as I am completely new to this.

Need some possible help
I have decided that until the DVD comes out or if a valid source is found then the deleted scenes section on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 needs to stay out due to speculation. While I recently took care of this, if it continues to be a hassle or if you find it necessary could you semi-lock the page until November 11th.

Edits to Severus Snape
Not sure if it's strictly against policy, but User:LeocadiaBegbick keeps making numerous changes to the article for Severus Snape, around 200 within the past month, from what I can tell. Most of these edits seem to be simple rejiggering of words and phrases, rather than anything particularly substantive. What's more, many of these edits are often made within minutes of each other, sometimes to the exact same section as one or more of the previous edits. ProfessorTofty 04:24, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
