User talk:Sammm鯊

Pages
(It feels really awkward to be the firs to leave a message on your talk, am I even allowed to?) So, you recommended me to take care of the gif things. I dropped my comments to Hot chocolate and Telephone booth, and I'll probably start sorting the Trio images later.

For now, I've decided to just check for GIFs, and I don't really know how to edit categories, as I've never done it before. Should I just give you a list of the lot, or is there a hidden uncomplicated trick to relocating files? I could have sworn I've read it somewhere in one of your messages to someone, though.

Cheers! 민태준  -  슈가 ( Inconvenience me here! )


 * Thanks for your reply! I don't really mind getting in trouble with others tbh xD I dislike installing apps etc. because I use Linux, so b] probably isn't an option for me.


 * I'll do what I can about the GIFs, I'll let you know when I need help, and if there's any task like adding to talks on articles or so, relocating things once I get the hang of it or simply spell checking some left over pages or something, let me know and I'll do it, I often do this stuff when I'm bored but this wiki has almost 16,000 pages so finding articles in need of the stuff is hard.


 * P.S Haha good xD Yeah, I guess someone has to start, but it's still weird, especially when you're me who doesn't normally initiate the convo, other than saying "hello" out of courtesy.


 * P.P.S Yeah, I know, but I keep leaving it out by habit.. I normally don't think much about it when I add the signature, so this stuff happens, sorry about that xD

 * Hello! I did a lot of the actor boxes, how many are there in total? Just asking. I'll try and set the GIFs right later on, but I doubt the downloading will work, because my Firefox is weird.


 * I added the infobox template, and change IMDb name to nm, like you said. I suck at assuming nationality, so for the most I just edited that out (I assumed one to be Irish, though, by the name). How is it?


 * Cheers, and thanks for giving me work and replying! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 12:45, January 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Okay! I'm currently trying to deal with real life work, well, actually just trying to figure out how to tell my parents I'm redoing year nine by next week and then some other school things that are a bit time-consuming, but I'll see to the actor articles whenever I have the time.


 * I won't be around as much in February, 90% of my family has it's birthday in February [internal screaming], so I might have a short term of inactivity.
 * As said, I'll see to things whenever I have the time, and I'll be around in the chat, though mostly afk.
 * Decided to tell you this so you don't think I've forgotten or it's too much work xD


 * See you around! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 21:05, January 23, 2019 (UTC)


 * Random additional fact: I added something in Wizarding idioms. What do you think?


 * 민태준  -  슈가 ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 22:09, January 23, 2019 (UTC)


 * I guess I get your point, I was just confused because I saw them a lot, and they kept popping up all over the place.


 * I'll see what more I got to add on the Talk, but I'll just use this place to answer to the thing with the religious things: I can't say the same for the people who are perhaps viewing the Talk, so I understand the personal answer xD But don't worry about it with me, I'm apatheistic, so I don't really care about religion or whether it's true or not. The only time religion makes me angry is when people force it upon me, so I really appreciate your consideration.


 * Sorry if this message was kinda pointless, I just wanted you to know that you don't need to worry about offending me. Cheers! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 16:49, January 25, 2019 (UTC)

RE:Inquiry on Spanish publishers
Hiya Sam! It's a pleasure talk with you. I've read your message in my page, and at the beginning I couldn't understand very well your question, but then I've realized that at least you wanted to know the history of our publishers. The thing is that, as our spanish version of Salamandra says, at the ending of the 90s Emecé had opened a new brach of its publishing company in Spain. Then, that brunch that opened in Spain was acquired by Salamandra and became the first Spanish publishing company having the rights to publish Harry Potter in Spanish (the rest of Emecé in Argentina was acquired by the publishing Grupo Planeta, but Emecé is still publishing books, as you can see here. It seems that Grupo Planeta supports them).

In addition to this, and with those links you gave me, Emecé had the possibility to publish the first three books because it was linked with Salamandra (my friends in the spanish wiki still having some books published by Emecé). But, when it was acquired by Grupo Planeta, it lots the rights. For that reason you only can find the first three books and that's all. I think that's the whole history. I have to say that I'm not very sure of all the details, but you can ask Matías and Héctor for more information.

Nowadays, we only have Salamandra as official for the spanish version of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts (today I could buy the screenplay of The Crimes of Grindelwald in english. I could also see that there are some spanish versions of the merchandise of Fantastic Beasts by the company Harpercollins en español. I have The Case of Beasts: Explore the Film Wizardry of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them under its publishing company). As you can see in my page, I'm from Argentina, Tucumán (north), and I have the southern cone version printed in Spain, that's the 5th edition printed in 2017, (I've never seen other versions than Salamandra and Harper Collins with the Harry Potter covers, maybe that's a matter of country, because we are very different in some aspects of our language) and the hardcover version is the first printed version of the seven books that remains mistakes on the translations, e.g.: I can see that, at that time, the translators didn't translate Auror in its plural equivalent Aurores, remaining its original version (Aurors). This also happened with the words Galleon and Espejo de Erised (its spanish equivalent has to be galeón and  Espejo de Oesed, but this last one was something that the translators didn't notice); when the paperback version came out, it still had the same mistakes (Salamandra only corrected the species of the different types of birds and owls.

Finally, when the 20th version of Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal came out in spanish last year, those mistakes were corrected with the terms used in the films and in official translated sites. I don't know if with the other countries happened the same. I have the first printed version in of the books (Salamandra) because I always wanted to read them in that version; and when the 20th anniversary version of Slytherin of the 1st and 2nd book in english came out here I bought them just to have some of material for practicing in summer holidays.

Well, that's all that I know. How I've said, you can consult my friends for more details. They are older than me by far (well, Matías just has five year more than me) and they know more things for sure. I hope I have been helpful with your question. You know that you can count with me for everything you need. Greetings from Argentina. <3--LeFences (Leandro) (talk) 02:58, January 24, 2019 (UTC)

PD:I have to say your links are very interesting. I don't know if you know this, but I am a student of english with an aim of having a degree in the linguistic area. This research is very well done and I'm considering to present it in a english "asamblea" (the "asambleas" in spanish is a meeting of all the english students in the faculty in order to present their researches, projects and expositions of anything. It doesn't matter if is a investigation about something in spanish, the unique condition is that you present it in english).


 * That was nothing! It's a pleasure, and it's very curious for me too why they didn't corrected the paperback version, but I have a hypothesis: as the first book came out, many translator didn't know how to deal with the new terms and words. Finally, when the first film was premiered, the translations were revised more painstakingly and those terms and new names and words were corrected (actually, a translator can't touch the proper names of things, but they agreed in adapt those names with the spanish grammatical rules. In the case of Aurors, they had to add the plural suffix es in the consonants -l, -r, -n, -d, -z, -j, -s, -x, -ch).


 * Finally, if you have asked yourself how we transcribe the quotes of our articles, we sometimes transcribes the dialogues from the films, and sometimes we do it from our books, online pdfs and from the europe spanish version too. We have to include both latin american and europe spanish varieties.--LeFences (Leandro) (talk) 23:21, January 24, 2019 (UTC)

RE Images
Hey! So the general "rule" or convention is that it is better to have some canon image rather than none. That way there is at least some canon representation reflected and, if the image is of poor quality, other editors are aware it exists and may be able to find a better version. This has been especially true with hard to access images such as those from or. This guideline covers both the examples you gave - if we have no other sources to work from, use whatever is available from the canon.

A warning for images lacking Summaries would be very useful. Unfortunately, FANDOM changed Special:Images to make a pop-up form without for Adding New Images, instead of linking to the full Special:Upload so it's hard to fault anyone for not filling this information out these days (as they are not even prompted to do so because of FANDOM's design choices). If you want to draft a warning template that links to editing the File of concern that would be great - otherwise I'll see if I can put something together this week. I'll also look at seeing if the bot can identify images without summaries to perhaps automate these warnings (or possible removals) on a regular basis. Keep up the good work! --Ironyak1 (talk) 01:09, January 27, 2019 (UTC)


 * The issue with those images in particular is not really about them being low-quality, but rather that they were pulled from a pirated copy of the film, which makes their Fair Use status rather tricky. So while the justification given doesn't really line up with establish practice, the end result of removing those images is the same.


 * I've done an initial scan with the bot of recent images and the vast majority are missing the Description info so something is going to need to be done (or the clean-up needed is just going to keep getting worse). It'll probably include notices to users with links to each File neeeing info and then considerations of which are unused and can be safely deleted and which are worth updating by hand. Any related thoughts or ideas are welcome! Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 02:24, February 2, 2019 (UTC)

Help
I need some help. You know I'm in the chat a lot. Well, there's this user, Wikiatastic, who's a bit of a nasty piece of work. I took pictures of it now, but she actually once made a new account just to vandalize my profile and cause me trouble. From the beginning she posts rather disgusting things, like decorating Christmas trees nude, and other inappropriate things. It was okay in the beginning, and it piped down after I gave her an earful for it, but it continued a short while after and became a bother. It's honestly annoying. I admit I don't treat her nicely, but I mainly do so in the hopes that she'll get the message. She clearly does not get it, however. I've told her multiple times that I don't want anything to do with her, but I know leaving the chat will only result in her either waiting or joining when I'm back.

I know you're a content mod, but I don't know if the admins will respond if I ask them, and all I honestly want is that she's banned from chat. Isn't there anything I can do? It's trouble.

Sorry for bothering you, and thanks for reading! 민태준  -  슈가 ( Inconvenience me here! )   14:01, January 27, 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry for my late reply! I didn't see the message because my FANDOM didn't give me a notification.


 * I've sent her my own message, (see this), and I hope she'll get the hint.
 * Judging by her behavior, she is beyond reason, but I will still attempt to make myself clear with her.


 * This doesn't mean I'll stop trying to work against her. I know other people in the chat, and it's possible for her to become their victim as well.
 * It's also possible she will take to vandalizing my profile in response, as she has done before with a sockpuppet account.


 * Thanks for the help! I reallly appreciate it, and again sorry for the inconvenience! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 18:19, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

Re: Red links
Hi Sam! Just seen your post about wanting links to different things in the HP & Cursed Child cast list page. Sorry, I removed them as most pages I've seen before wanted them gone to tidy the pages up. I'll get on with adding these this week. Hopefully the formatting of the rest of the page has been tidied up for your approval :) Tomhumphreys123 (talk) 19:33, January 27, 2019 (UTC)

Duplicate category.
Hello Sammm, I have found an article which is a mistaken duplicate of another article. It is of an Unidentified Death Eater who duelled Arthur Weasley in the Battle of Hogwarts. The duplicate article is very short in length, whilst the original article is of much better quality; its image is superior, contains greater detail and is longer overall in article length. Therefore, the duplicate category really needs deleting, because the existence of both the same character is confusing. Thanks RedWizard98 (talk) 01:04, February 2, 2019 (UTC).

Barnaby gay?
Hey I watched a video of the Crushed side quest and saw that Barnaby was saying that they really liked [our player] and for that particular character, they were male, and Barnaby didn't eat the love potion infused sandwich, so does that mean Barnaby is gay/into guys and should be added to the LGBT list/page? I wanted to make sure before adding it in case I could be wrong. IlvermornyWizard (talk) 09:21, February 3, 2019 (UTC) IlvermornyWizard

RE Chat policy
Hey - yeah, the IRC is largely unused and the related policy has more to do with technical setup and issues than actual usage. With the web chat and Discussion options, at some point it'll probably just be deprecated entirely rather than merged with the Chat policy (although conceptually I agree they basically are covering the same activity, although we have no IRC mods to enforce the policy ;).

 * To be honest I should have looked a little more deep. But NVM. I don't think of you likr that at all. You have worked really hard to help this wiki. And I don't think it was rude of you to say that but when you put it that way, I after rereading your messages, it shows that they can be read from both perspectives. It's not your fault though.

RE Short code list
Feel free to use that list as needed. Note that I put it together when I was first setting up all the short codes so it is out of date. While I can understand a new category such as Source templates could be useful, it also means updating all the short code templates to make what amounts to a subtle distinction (as Source templates are also Appearance templates). Not sure if the payout is worth the effort to be honest, whereas having an easy-to-access explanation of what each short code means seems more worthwhile IMHO.

Afshan Azad's birthday
Hey Sammm,

It was brought up in the discussions today that Afshan Azad was actually born in 1989, according to an Instagram post by her, but a lot of other sources (including the HP wiki) say she was born in 1988. Would you mind looking into this?

Thanks, Harrypotterexpert101  https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ursuul/images/0/0a/Council-icon-FANDOM.svg (talk) 15:35, February 12, 2019 (UTC)

Upload notices
Hey - when you get a chance, can you check this notice I've drafted for people who have uploads requiring and let me know if you see anything that needs improvement? The bot is able to generate the notices, but cannot post to User Talk pages as FANDOM has some extension hooks in place to prevent spam. As such I'll have to cut and paste them one at a time so would like a second pair of eyes to double-check the format and help make sure there is nothing I'll need to go back and correct afterwards. Really no rush & thanks --Ironyak1 (talk) 23:10, February 12, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback. I did find the templates a bit wordy, although I agree that some justification for the request does make sense and have added a small clause to that effect. I also find that Source and Licensing are the most important as hunting down the Source takes a lot of time afterwards, and Licensing is a Copyright claim which should be made by the uploaded (it really should be required at the point of upload by the system). While Categories should also be added by the uploader, at least those can be easily determined after the fact by any user.


 * In regards to the numerous actor images, it is part of why I am trying to get this notice pinned down. I think there needs to be some good faith effort at the point of upload before expecting others to correct the issues. At one point in the past, the number of images without Copyright Information reached a critical mass that we got a notice from Wikia and had to spend several days reviewing all the images and correcting over a thousand images by hand. I really don't want to go through something like that again! --Ironyak1 (talk) 00:55, February 13, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for bringing that script to my attention! It is definitely worth looking at if it will make sure at least the Copyright info is required for all uploaded images. I'll try to find some time to evaluate it. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 03:37, February 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * The script works for me - I just stuck in in User:Ironyak1/common.js if you want to compare setups (although your global.js looks ok at first glance - you bypassed your browser cache?) It requires you to pick an item from the Licensing dropdown in Special:Upload and Special:MultipleUpload before accepting your file(s) - pops up a little highlight box telling you to pick one of the Licensing options. It also enforces Licensing if you choose the "Add features and media - Photo" while editing an article. What it doesn't do is require Licensing if you use Special:Images - "Add New Image" so there is still at least one way around it. I also haven't played with any of the other options like allowing multiple uploads and such but it has promise. If you get it working let me know what you think. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 05:02, February 14, 2019 (UTC)

Moving images

Potential fandom/Junk writing
Hello again Sammm, whilst going about editing today I happened to notice this newly created and unexplaine article created by a new user, called Skovboskolen School of Thots. Given the fact this article has been given no explanation to as why it has been created and it looks very much like to me it could be fandom or simply junk writing. The existence of such a school is not noted in any canon source I am aware of, and I also researched the word "thot"; it is an informal and derogatory noun which is used to describe a promiscious woman. If this article is indeed dishonest, it should definitely be removed, as using such language is rather innappropriate, I would think. Thanks RedWizard98 (talk) 12:57, February 15, 2019 (UTC).

Reporting vandalism/fanon
Hello Sammm, I have already messaged Ironyak1 about this, but this new user Molly Weasley 54, has written fandom in the article regarding the disintegration curse. Upon reverting this rubbish twice, they decided to leave a ludicrous threat that they would curse me if I were to undo their edit again. Even more absurdly, a polite message I left on their wall was reverted by them, simply with an angry face. I don't think this is a genuine account. Thanks RedWizard98 (talk) 14:48, February 16, 2019 (UTC).

CoS GIFs etc.
I know I'm probably double messaging you, but I'll just ask anyway since I'm bored out of my mind and I want something to do.

Have you done the GIF and Image sort from CoS yet? If not, I'll see to it, probably today. Should actually be prepping for History, but there's no use to that now since I haven't got any worksheets and essays to reread, so I figured I'll just look for FANDOM work instead.

Sorry about the confusion from my last message, and I'll be available in chat today to explain. I can only be online till 23 (11pm) CET, which is around nine hours ahead of you, so I hope I can catch you.

EDIT: I believe I got all the GIFs recategorized. Checking the other films now.

 * Np with the help! I was bored and kinda felt a bit bad about not doing it when you asked me to.


 * I'll see to that in a bit, my schedule's clogged till Sunday. Gotta clean out and refurbish my room, will have a two night sleepover and dance event that will last till Sunday.
 * I also have to prep for some exams our wonderful teachers decided to set in inconvenient moments.


 * I've got a week of holidays after next week, so I'll have enough time then. I'll see to the images once I have the time, but I probably won't be able to do anything more than dpost and chat mod till Monday.

RE:Duplicate category.
Yes, I figured that was it, but no harm done. I think it's standard to refer to people from the US as "American" in English so it seems unnecessary to disambiguate, IMO (United Statesian? haha).

Survey
Hey there Sammm! As I am in the Community Council, I am interested in gathering feedback on what makes Fandom so special as a company. You are being contacted today with some survey questions on what you think makes Fandom a great place. This is research for a blog I am making on the Community Central Wiki. Here they are:

1. How do you view Fandom as a company? Do you feel that they support you enough as a Content Moderator?

2. What kind of technical updates would you like to see in the future? What features would make your job easier?

3. What feedback do you have on the recent Discussions updates? Do you think they were helpful, not worth the time?

Thank you for taking time to answer these questions!

Quick chat
Hey Would you mind to join me in the chat? I have some technical queries. It won't take long. Reverb frost (talk) 07:39, February 26, 2019 (UTC)
 * Well this is my first vote on HPW so I don't know what to do? I mean I do know that I must contact one of the admins to open the vote but when is the right time to do so? Like when sage applied for chat mod chat mod recently, she had no against votes and her appointment was fixed without a formal vote. In my case i have less for votes but still no against vote. Also no admin has replied yet. So like I don't know how to proceed with it and neeeed your guidance.
 * Also I understand your position. But I have always been a fan of one on one convi. Where you ask instant questions and get instant reply. And I also don't understand the system of leaving your messages open where everyone should be able to read it. I mean I have got nothing to hide but doesn't mean I like it to be made public. XDDD. That's why I usually call everyone to chat. Hope you understand me as well. I mean I respect the system just don't understand it. And i get that talk pages are more comfortable for you and next time I will try to ask you here only. Hope I am not coming wrong here. Reverb frost (talk) 01:37, February 27, 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. It more than helpful of you. I hope your packing goes well. XDD.

Discussions redundancies
Hey - figured it was easier to reply here so I know you actually see the message. Repetative questions is actually one of situations that FANDOM recommends not moderating heavily, which makes sense as the flow of messages will quickly move similar questions down out of view, other users may not have seen the previous message so it's new to them, and the previous message/FAQ may not have the "best" answer.

Given the likely expansion and possible changes in types of Discussions posts, you'll likely want to look at the Category options for filtering out some type of posts. With your knack for organization, I'd hope you share any ideas you have to better arrange posts for serving differing interests. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 13:40, February 27, 2019 (UTC)

I don't think I can shed any light on the whole Louisa Warren-as-Hannah Abbott and Emma Jayne-Corboz-as-Susan Bones, but I do agree with you entirely: if there doesn't seem to be any source to back that up, that info should be removed from their articles. We're on the same wavelength on the whole Fay Dunbar situation (see Talk:Fay Dunbar) — I think the only reason anything has been done about it is purely due to inertia (mea culpa, at least in part).

About the first four bullet points, your guess is just as good as mine. I left a message at Talk:Unidentified Hufflepuff girl (II) and Talk:Jan Kowalski. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 17:23, March 2, 2019 (UTC)

RE 2 new Image categories
Their promotional info gives the company's name with the Ltd, which matches their article here as well. Best to keep it consistent and use "Atomhawk Design Ltd"

On the map you get at Universal when you purchase an interactive wand, the term used for all the motion symbols is "wand gestures" - maybe not the best, but at least it has a canon source to back it up. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 04:06, March 5, 2019 (UTC)

Some categories
I was reading the contributions of a certain User:Oerk. He created categories such as Category:Spells with Modifiers. Honestly, I'm not following if the contributions are good or not but that specific category doesn't seem to be fitting. One category such as Category:Cleaning spells, it has 7 items, much lower than the other cateogries in Category:Spells. It is nice but idk if it is needed. Tbh. I look forrwrd to what you think. Thanks. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  17:50, March 5, 2019 (UTC)

RE Category questions
I agree that a "Spells by usage" makes better sense to group together subcategories like Healing, Cleaning, etc... That said, I don't see any problem with the Cleaning spells category as there is a clearly definable group of them. I also don't worry too much about the "is it necessary" argument - if it is a logical arrangement based on canon info, then it is reasonable. ( nothing we do here is necessary ;)

As such, my complaint with the "Spells with Modifiers" is that I don't believe there is any canon mention of that term or evidence for that sort of organization (which I think you pointed out in your initial reply). We really don't know from an in-universe perspective how spells are developed - for instance, is Protego Diabolica a modified Protego (seems reasonable), or the merging of two distinct spells, or something that was discovered first and Protego was distilled from it? Just because we as an audience learned of a spell first, and then saw variations of it, doesn't mean that it how they developed or should be categorized. That category should probably just be removed IMHO.

ETA: As for the Spells infobox being linked to Spells, there has been discussion in the past of certain categories being used to make master lists so the article appears both on the general list and any applicable subcategory. This is functioning in that regard, which has its ups and downs. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 01:36, March 8, 2019 (UTC)

with respect to notificaitions. It is likely because the notification is on the bottom right of the computer, and its not something people would look at, or perhaps notice.

Template help
So I was recently dragged into this wiki, and it sorta sucks. No templates. I had the responsibility of making it better pushed onto me, so I now am kinda at a loss.

How do I make a template? Sort of tryna put the wiki out of its misery. Would be great if you could tell me!

Hogwarts Mystery article handling
Yes, of course! I will have a look now. I fell behind everyone in the chapters and I'm trying to catch up. I hope to be up to date and able to contribute to the pages properly soon, but I think you have done a great job at maintaining and improving the articles for HM. - Kates39 (talk) 22:26, March 20, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I find it hard to focus on just one thing in HM too because they have that many things going on at once! I often forget where the main story is up to because I spend a lot of time trying to do the other things. The biggest problem I have is when I get to a duel and need to be at a certain level for courage, empathy and knowledge to win but I’m a few levels behind.


 * I will go and have a look at the character pages for the next few days and try and improve and expand them, and check they have enough sources that link to the correct chapters. - Kates39 (talk) 18:13, March 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * please don't worry, I'm very happy to speak about HM and your not bothering me. I value your opinion on any aspect of editing and HM so don't be worried about contacting me! :)


 * The thought of what to do canonically about contradictions in the story from options in HM had crossed my mind too. I did not know about Seth's thoughts and what other editors have debated since I was on hiatus so thanks for bringing it to my attention. I find Seth's approach a bit confusing, because every option and the actions they cause cannot be the same level of canon because they do not work together. I favour an approach where everything that gets wrote in the biography is from parts of the story that were the same for everyone, and the options and their different actions get put in BTS. Keeping it vague in the main biographies feels the best way to avoid confusion to me and keep it simpler, and if anyone wants to know what was an option, it's plainer for them to find in BTS. - Kates39 (talk) 23:41, March 22, 2019 (UTC)

RE Image credits on Discussions
Hey - I think it's fine to ask where someone got an image or if they know the artist. It helps the OP think about using people's work and may influence their future behavior. However, if they don't know (or don't care) it's probably on you to hunt down a credit as you do care (and can likely find it :). More of a, oh by the way, this was done by so-and-so, here check out their other work, type of comment.

FANDOM doesn't have any requirements on this issue (or Twitter, or FB, or most anywhere else in the social media landscape for better or worse), so there isn't a lot of backing to push for everyone being expected or required to provide an image credit just on this Discussion Board.

Just for setting tone, I'm not real upset by any of this or anything. I've just spent the last month moderating Discussions largely by myself which has lead to a low tolerance for users trying to dictate to each other what they should and shouldn't do (based on their own opinion). So this is just part of a larger effort to move Discussions into a more friendly tone of conversation, rather than one of personal criticisms. Hope that helps! Cheers --19:18, March 21, 2019 (UTC)

Emma-Jayne Corboz
Hi, I just wanna inform you that the Wiki has two pages for the actress Emma-Jayne Corboz: Emma Jayne-Corboz and Emma-Jayne Corboz. one of them should be deleted/merged with each other and If I'm not mistaken, Emma-Jayne Corboz is the correct spelling of her name.

--Shacob (talk) 21:36, March 21, 2019 (UTC)

The girl who helped Ron
It's curious how such a prominent extra has what appears to be no record of her involvement anywhere (even other extras have credit for less!). I would have thought that her part in helping Ron would have granted the actress the same kind of recognition that Marianne Chase gets for being part of the Kissing Couple. I found a video of her helping Ron, and I would have thought she would have similar kind of description for being near enough center of the scene.

I think Hollie Ellis has the right kind of look of the character at certain angles. At first, I thought no for Abigail Hardiman but then I googled her and saw one pic from another angle that was better, but I'm not confident about them. Just like you, the best I can say is "hmm, maybe?". I have looked at about 20 extras from that film and I'm finding nothing. I'm on a challenge now to track her down, but it's like she went to live under a rock after filming her scenes! I'm beginning to think too that this girl was not in OOTP. It depended on the fact that Marianne Chase was confirmed to be in the OOTP, but whoever thought she was the girl who helped Ron had it wrong. Maybe that actor was just in the one film?

Perhaps a couple of the Rionach screenshots could be added to Rionach's page, and hopefully the hub idea will get going soon when you get a reply. Until then, let's keep digging for this girl's actor and search for her in other films and hope one of us finds gold lol! I'm looking into the Emma-Jayne Corboz / Ryan Nelson / Louisa Warren thing too. How was it decided that they portrayed prominent book characters? That's another priority because I had saw the fandom using these pics / creating gifs from these scenes and thinking that's who they were, that it's a surprise that they may not be who they were meant to / confirmed to have portrayed.

(btw, don't worry about the archive thing. It was just unfortunate timing and you were right to bring that section back because it's an active discussion. I should have thought of that!). - Kates39 (talk) 18:58, March 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, I noticed that too. Rionach's page originally said that she had spoken and told Harry that Ron had asked Fleur to the Yule Ball, but the video has proven that it was Ginny. It's yet another thing proven wrong about what was wrote on the page. I think the page is a perfect example of confusion lol.


 * I have searched for the actor using the categories you mentioned, and by using google. Through google, I have gone through a few pages on other websites who have listed every actor that they have found, and not one of them have proved to be a good match for this extra. Perhaps she's just not a professional actor searching for employment, and that's why she doesn't have a page on any acting website?


 * I'm not opposed to a hub if you want to take that route, and I support a page for an "Unidentified Gryffindor girl" too. I think both will work well, but a page to store these images and info about this girl in the meantime could be a good point to begin and dump it (begin putting these findings together I suppose), and if an actor is ever found, she could be added to that page.


 * sorry if I made you feel that verifying actors for book characters is the main priority. I meant to say it should be another priority. It's part of the same project I think. You have found an extensive problem: a few years ago, a person managed to go unquestioned when uploading images and not sourcing properly why they think that actor in a film screenshot portrayed these characters.  It's like you say, this project has a lot of things that need to be done lol.


 * I will delete the pic of "the girl who helped Ron" from Rionach's BTS. Then I think Rionach's page is good for now. I will give you time to think about whether you want to create an "Unidentified Gryffindor girl" page or not. I think it's a good idea. I think the "Cho Chang's friends" page is good too, but was the girl helping Ron a friend of Cho Chang? Have you found them in a scene together? - Kates39 (talk) 23:15, March 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * That's okay, thanks for explaining! I noticed an editing problem a couple of days ago too actually. I think wikia were updating their userface because I noticed at least a couple of minor changes. Yeah, go ahead and create the Cho Chang's friends page. I think it's a good idea. I'm at the conclusion that Ryan Nelson was never credited as Michael Corner. I have continued research into Emma-Jayne Corboz and Louisa Warren but I'm close to concluding that they were not stated to have portrayed a specific character either. I have deleted the "tgwhR" from Rionach's page too. - Kates39 (talk) 13:04, March 24, 2019 (UTC)


 * Interesting find but I don't know how much I trust the book if it has no source for Michael Corner's actor. I have continued a search for an acting credit but I feel perhaps the infobox pic and others should be put in BTS, and the part about the actor reworded to say that he "may be" the actor who portrayed Corner. But since it's long thought to be true, I might add to Corner's talkpage in the next few days and find out if others have any thoughts.


 * I will have a look at Rionach's talkpage now and add my thoughts. Thanks for the head's up, I have been looking at pics of actors vs. character using glasses lately to work out if they look alike! It's incredible that this problem has gone extensively unnoticed for such a long time. And I saw your edit to Cassius Bell's page - nice to see the website getting used, I have always found it very useful! - Kates39 (talk) 17:52, March 27, 2019 (UTC)

RE: Findings
Hi Sammm, just Ayrehead is fine with me

Thanks for the kind words and thank you for adding the frame by frame referencing! Good to know about the page referencing in the template as well, I'll make sure to use it in future.

My additions were just based on re-watching the film now that I've got the bluray and identifying the character by spotting the credited actor. I want to check the screenplay and other supplementary books as well and see if there's any other info, but haven't yet had a chance. I definitely didn't pick up on him re-appearing after killing the witch when I saw the film in theaters either, it was only when specifically looking for him that I noticed his suspicious behavior. I'm curious to see if they'll follow up on it and have him appear among Grindelwald's followers in the future films as Abernathy did in this one. Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:27, March 27, 2019 (UTC)

Hufflepuff 90's students
I am surprised and quite offended that you wiped out my edits that I spent an hour and 30 minutes doing. I spent around 5 hours editing the table back in December, as well as Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Hvae you not realised how messy the separate 90's table looks? Especially as Hufflepuff is the only house with that! It looks ridculous!

Please revert back to my edit.

RainbowBubbles3 (talk) 16:51, March 29, 2019 (UTC)

You seem to have an argument against all of my points, except the part about how Hufflepuff is the only house with the weird 90's table. Why has Hufflepuff got this but no other team? It looks messy!

I give up with this wiki. Once you've replied to this, I am done. This is by far the strictest wiki I've ever seen. It's horrible and not at all community-friendly. If it was less strict, it might be a bit tidier as more people would like to come here.

RainbowBubbles3 (talk) 17:49, March 29, 2019 (UTC)

Please understand the only reason the links were lost was because I was exhausted from staring at my computer because I was trying to get back my hours of work from December. I planned to do the links the next day. I don't understand what you mean by lota of information was lost.

RainbowBubbles3 (talk) 20:03, March 29, 2019 (UTC)


 * I've made an offer to combine the tables but keep all the formatting. Hopefully this will help, and I understand why you wouldn't want to engage with this tone of "conversation." Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 18:00, March 29, 2019 (UTC)

RE:Permission for relocation
Sorry I took this long to reply. Yes, I think that would be perfectly acceptable; just make sure to leave a note directing people to the new location where one can find the discussion and, in the new locations, saying where the convo could originally be found.

I am also sorry to hear about your grandpa. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:04, April 2, 2019 (UTC)


 * Alright, doesn't seem to have uploaded any more pictures since Ironyak1's last message on their talk page, so I think I ought to leave it at that; if they persist, please ping me and I'll issue a short cooldown block whenever I'm available. --  Seth Cooper  owl post!  23:54, April 3, 2019 (UTC)

TMR Horcrux search
Hey! I just had a look at HBP and DH and it does not say for certain at any point where he looked and found books. They do not even say when Dumbledore took books about Horcruxes from the Restricted Section. The books imply that Dumbledore could have taken the books before Riddle's time.

In HBP (Chapter 23), Slughorn tells Tom that even at that point in time it was "a banned subject at Hogwarts, you know ... Dumbledore's particularly fierce about it ...". If he and the school felt that way about it at that point, why would they have kept books about it in the Restricted Section for Tom to read?

It's not certain if he read books, where he found them, what books they were and at what point Dumbledore took the books from the library. Dumbledore just thought that Tom knew how to create Horcruxes by the time he spoke to Slughorn, and that he just wanted an opinion on whether creating seven was possible because he would be unable to find that out in any book.

Then in DH (Chapter 6), Hermione says that she got the books that Dumbledore took from the Restricted Section and put in the office for safekeeping, and that "Secrets of the Darkest Art" was one of the books. she and Harry proposed that Tom "could" have taken that book and that they "bet" he had. But it's not a given fact. I think those two paragraphs should be reworded to say that he might have found books in the Restricted Section, but it's unknown for certain. - Kates39 (talk) 10:55, April 7, 2019 (UTC)


 * That's okay! I notice paragraphs every now and then that have worded things in a factual way but it was taken from Harry's speculation etc. I will have a go at rewording it today. :) - Kates39 (talk) 10:32, April 8, 2019 (UTC)

Dementor at the Attack
Unless I misread Prisoner of Azkaban all these years, the attack on Sirius had all of the Dementors at Hogwarts pooling themselves together, having finally located their quarry. Hence the obvious conclusion that any individual Dementor earlier observed to have been at Hogwarts must also have been at the Attack. If I'm mistaken that passage of the page should probably go, or at least be rewritten heavily, but I don't think I am. --Scrooge MacDuck (talk) 09:25, April 8, 2019 (UTC)

Rionach O'Neal's POA scene confirmation
Well done! I never thought to try and ask Marianne. But it would make it non-canon if she was portraying Rionach in that scene because the Chasers in the books for the whole time that Harry attended Hogwarts were known. Is that the only scene she was in during POA? Perhaps it could be worth us both checking POA scenes for her before her POA appearance is put in BTS. - Kates39 (talk) 10:46, April 30, 2019 (UTC)

Disappearing categories feedback
In terms of oddly disappearing categories, thank you for looking into the issue, although I certainly did under any circumstances mean to erase categories, as I on that edit, as I was simply editing Ernie's boggart form in, so I have no idea why such categories got removed, for your information. Clearly, administrative errors and failures do sometimes occur on this website, but at least I take notice of them when they do happenand try to resolve them.
