Re: Do you need permission to post quotes?
Not that I'm aware of, as long as they're canon, fit the topic and don't overcrowd a page.

I haven't followed too closely your edit history on Harry Potter's page, but there were a few problems, such as removal of editor-restricted instructions and some formatting out of whack. I would therefore add the quote and wait a couple of days before editing again, just to see what happens. MinorStoop  20:03, December 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Too late, I already did on yours. And it's "respond", not "resond". :)
 * Also, allow me to inform you that removal of messages from another user's talk page is generally a bad idea, as a matter of both form (it's her/his talk page) and practicality (there's no way to know when a detail mentioned in the removed text may be needed). Only exceptions are obvious vandalism or (more rarely) grammar/spelling issues. MinorStoop  20:07, December 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, the only removal of messages I have ever removed from someone's talk has been one of my own.

 * Granted, but it's still something generally not done unless it's vandalism. :) Should you want to dismiss some text of yours try using the strike tags and (they'll do this to the text they enclose) and then explain why. At least it always worked for me. MinorStoop  20:24, December 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for telling me that.

MK, please take care to position links to pictures on a line to themselves, either before or after a paragraph, so that they do not disrupt the paragraph itself. I also noticed that sometimes (Lupin's wand) they do not fit the topic of the section they've been put in. Thanks, MinorStoop  07:04, December 23, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thank you.

Re:Lavender Brown
At the top of my head, can't think any reason why we shouldn't. I always thought of her as a somewhat of a fluffhead, based primarily on her liking of Divination, and let's not forget she lost out in the Battle of Hogwarts and died a short time later. I would therefore agree about her NEWT-level Transfiguration and Divination, but would ask a question or two about her DA-based defensive magic on her article's talk page, before mentioning it. MinorStoop  23:51, December 25, 2013 (UTC)

That makes sense now that you mention it. The fact that she did die in the Battle of Hogwarts dosen't show skill in the area of defensive magic. I think your right adding the NEWT-level Transfiguration and Divination should be all.

I put my suggestion on the Lavender Brown talk page.

As per my previous post, please take care to place your pictures in a line to themselves, before a paragraph. It helps both in showing them correctly in the viewed page, and in editing the same page in the editor. It helps if you're in source mode - this can be set up in "your preferences", in the "editing" page. Thank you. MinorStoop  21:48, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

I could have sworn I had done that, thank you.

 * Not on Remus Lupin's page - it seemed the kind of bad positioning more easily resulting from working in visual editor than in text editor. :) MinorStoop  22:30, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Luna- Care of Magical Creatures
Most certainly. However I can't provide a reference. If you can't either, add a note in the "Edit Summary" field. MinorStoop  22:29, December 30, 2013 (UTC) P.S. I would also go ahead with the Lavender's skills in Divination and Transfiguration. Nobody answered, so we can accept that as a tacit assent. MS

Making decisions
Hi there! I notice that, in quite a few cases, you've been asking User:MinorStoop for advice regarding edits to a particular page. While there is nothing wrong with communicating about major edits with a fellow member of the wiki, decisions that only affect a single page are best discussed on the talk page of the article in question, so that the whole userbase can be a part of the discussion. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 01:13, December 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ya know, 1337 is right - changes to only one article are best discussed on the article's talk page.
 * The only disagreement I might have with him is whether a character's magical skill is "major". I often went ahead and rewrote a sentence whose structure I disliked or deleted an unsupported paragraph and nobody complained. Sometimes, being bold pays. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  02:51, December 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Should I undo the edits I made? There right though with evidence to back them up and no one has undone them yet.
 * Misskatniss1546 (talk) 03:07, December 31, 2013 (UTC)Misskatniss1546
 * Nope. Let somebody else revert your edits, if they think they're wrong. :) <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  07:46, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

Resourcefulness a skill
Well, there's a "Bravery" section in Neville Longbottom's "Magical abilities and skills", so I don't see no reason why you shouldn't go ahead. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  22:57, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Your edits
One of your recent edits has been considered to be factually dubious by a few editors, and it called to my attention that you're not providing references to support your edits. All material on this wiki needs to be cited so it can be proven as true. A lot of it unfortunately isn't right now, but that doesn't mean adding unsourced material is acceptable. This page gives a brief tutorial on how to do it, and you can look on almost any major page on this wiki to see the general format (for instance, references from the books are generally formatted ). Unsourced material, even if true, may be at risk of being deleted. Please take this into consideration in the future. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 07:06, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I think their names sould be removed then if no sufficient evidence can be given.Misskatniss1546 (talk) 21:11, February 14, 2014 (UTC)Misskatniss1546

Ron & Cho - conjuration
I don't think they ever did. At least, they were never shown to in both books and movies. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  21:08, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

If no sufficent evidence can be given then their names should be removed from the list of practitioners. I'm going to do that, right now. Misskatniss1546 (talk) 21:13, February 14, 2014 (UTC)Misskatniss1546
 * Better start a thread on "Conjuration"'s talk page first. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  21:19, February 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just did. Misskatniss1546 (talk) 21:20, February 14, 2014 (UTC)Misskatniss1546

Re:Tonks picture
I've never been a picture guy: feel free to do as you deem fit. Just make sure that you can trace your pics to a reliable canon source (if you manage), fit them in the relevant pages, and achieve a good balance between text and pictures.

Not very much of help, am I? :-P <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  21:01, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

Order of Merlin, seven edits early
Put 'em on your user page, if you feel like. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  21:03, February 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, I'll have to take that back - that was 97 edits, definitely too early. We'll have to wait a few days until you're actually 2000 or so edits. I'm sorry. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  21:06, February 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Now, well above the minimum level for the award. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  06:55, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Potions and Potioneer
For consistency with all other abilities, I'd say that "Potions" is the best option. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="red">MinorStoop  10:12, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

Huge Favor
Misskatniss, could you do me a huge favor and indicate what your're editing when you edit? If you could leave a summary of your edit, like "pictures", that would help immensly. Thanks! Dr. Galenos (talk) 15:28, March 4, 2014 (UTC)

Undo my edits of page Albus_Dumbledore
Please, I'd like that you undo all my edits of day 26 March 2014 in the page Albus_Dumbledore!!! Thank you and I am so sorry for that! Andre G. Dias (talk) 20:27, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
