Arabella Figg: Unsung heroine
Hey there-- when you get a chance, do you think you could possibly do me the favor of looking over my changes to Arabella Figg? Her page was kind of a mess, and I've been trying to overhaul it. I know it's a pretty short article, but for some reason, when I work on just one article for a while, I realise I start losing perspective and missing little errors here and there, so I need a second pair of eyes. Also, I added a bunch of stuff, but I still feel like there could be stuff I've missed, so if you feel like there's anything crucial I should add, or that you want to add, that would be awesome. Thanks! -- Emmy (★) 18:57, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

I was actually wondering about that too (and yeah, that was already there when I started editing the page). I was looking through OOTP and PS for any references, but other than the fact that she's "Mrs." Figg, explicitly, I can't see any direct mentions of her being married. I guess it probably makes more sense just to omit that bit? -- Emmy (★) 19:24, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

I added a BTS about it, and removed "Mr.Figg" from the infobox. I'm not at all sure if I worded it in the best possible way, though. Does it come off too speculative? -- Emmy (★) 19:39, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

I totally agree that it seems really unlikely that a Mr.Figg living with Mrs. Figg would not have been mentioned, but I'm not sure about going into any more detail, just because I can't even find any references to the Dursleys saying "Mrs. Figg's house" -- they just say "Mrs. Figg's has broken her leg. She can't take him." As unlikely as it is, that could just mean Mr. Figg is away on business a lot, or something. I'm both losing my mind and litterally flipping through the pages of HP&tPS, so if there are more references, it's very likely I've missed them, haha. -- Emmy (★) 20:16, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Re: BTW
Oh, awesome, that's so convenient-- thanks for looking up the pus-squirting hex so super speedily! -- Emmy (★) 16:49, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

International Ministries of Magic
Hey, do you know if there's any kind of color system for the various national ministry infoboxes? I was trying to at least make them slightly less random in color by giving them at least the same 2nd background color (well... and I wanted to make sure the colors didn't clash...), but is there something already in place? Or should they maybe be colored based on their national flag, or maybe continent...? -- Emmy (★) 17:48, November 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you know where Luxembourg's National Quidditch Team is mentioned in GOF? Is really called the "Luxembourgian" Quidditch Team...? -- Emmy (★) 18:27, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ha, okay... it just sounds/looks so awkward, and I know Luxembourg's national soccer team is called the "Luxembourg National Football Team," not the "Luxembourgian"... but I guess I should just leave it. -- Emmy (★) 19:08, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hey i need ur help with the page Penetration Curse i cretaed, plus i think Rubeus Hagrid's umbrella should be its own article.12.40.220.253 20:26, November 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Both the "penetration spell" and "penetration curse" have had their articles deleted and their pages locked, because they are completely unverified. I really suggest you do not try to skirt around that and find a way to recreate the same page with a different name. -- Emmy (★) 20:33, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Bachlynn, i tried a while back to make a Hurricane page, as a hurricane was mentioned in Book6 when comparing the giants rampage to that of this. Could u please create it, it keeps getting redirected to Enchanted Window.72.229.183.70 18:43, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE: just in case
Thanks, every little bit will help. Most of this is Wikia's responsibility, so the only thing we really need on our end is extra vigilance. Just keep on eye on the Recent Changes, New Articles, and New Images, since there's bound to be an increase in vandalism/trolling/spam/fanon due to the extra activity. - Nick O'Demus 00:05, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Voice actors
Don't forget though, some of the actors such as Rupert Grint voiced their own characters in the video games too, and then you've got actors like Toby Jones, who voice Dobby in the films but hasn't been in any of the video games yet. - Nick O'Demus 09:44, November 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well technically, "Voice Actors" IS the correct term (see here and here), I'm just pointing out it applies to people outside the video games too, like the actors who voiced Dobby, Kreacher, Aragog, etc.


 * Also, I recorded the voice cast credits from the Wii OOTP and HBP video games a while back. If you want them for your own reference, I can upload them in a torrent for you (they're too large to upload directly here). - Nick O'Demus 04:00, November 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would say yes, actors like Rupert Grint would fall under both categories. I've uploaded the videos here (OotP) and here (HBP). - Nick O'Demus 05:13, November 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's there, you just have to scroll over to where the "V"'s are listed to see it. I would say that if the actor's only appearance was through voice-over, then the "Voice Actors" category should replace the "Actors" one. They should only keep both if they did both, like Rupert Grint. - Nick O'Demus 23:20, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Monobook
I've never really used Monobook, so I don't know. You might ask or, since they know a LOT more about formatting and the like than I do. (You can see on Grunny's talk page just how many times I've had to ask him about things like this.) : P - Nick O'Demus 16:24, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Doh
All done :) - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 00:31, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Missing character page
Afraid I've got no idea about Terry Skeres. To be honest, I've had little to do with the Deathly Hallows film page. I'd check the article history and see who originally added it and ask them, since they may know. Might be fanon that someone slipped in. As for admin ... the important thing to remember is that being an admin is a huge responsibility. Its not something to be taken lightly, nor is it somehow a reward. With this in mind, the advice I give to editors looking to become admins is this: look at the current admins and see what they do. See what tasks they perform that you could also do and help there. Learn the policies and rules inside out until you can quote them in your sleep (not really - that's why we have links to them - but it helps :P). It's not about quantity but quality. A wiki is a meritocracy, and those that deserve the rights will attain them in my opinion. I hope that helps. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 11:46, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

I am the one who said that Victoire Weasley was born between 1998 and 1999. I wanted to ask, why would she have been born between 2000 and 2001? Didn't JK Rowling say in "A Year in the Life" that she was born a year after the Second Wizarding War ended? I was quite sure. Please reply back.

thank you
much appreciated.Hazel-rah 21:38, November 20, 2010 (UTC).

Victoire Weasley
Forgive me, I did't explain myself properly.

I knew that Teddy had already graduated by 2017, I didn't mean to suggest that Fleur was giving birth while the Battle was commencing, and I knew Victoire was so named becuase of the event that occured on that glorious day in Wizarding history. I only meant that I was lead to believe that Victoire was born a year after 2 May, 1998. Because I heard about it somewhere, I thought it was in "J.K. Rowling: A Year In the Life." And I thought whoever said she was born between 2000 and 2001 was misinformed. Thank you for your kind explanation.

Thanks
Thanks for reverting that. I had to step out for a bit; it figures they'd launch into attack mode right then. - Nick O'Demus 13:27, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Sorry, for not around recently going to school and having a part time job, really takes time away from things like this. Anyway, am I the only one to notice the Nazi imagery in the Ministry in the new movie? I added it to the article on Runcorn who is dressed like a Gestapo agent, but I think something needs to be added to the British Ministry of Magic article to reflect that as well (the guards when our heroes go to the ministry are dressed like SS soldiers). --JKoch (Owl Me! ) 16:23, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I saw it the Sunday after it came out, matinee. I definitely think the imagery is intentional.  --JKoch Ravenclawcrest.jpg(Owl Me! ) 21:11, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
