RE: Warning
Well, considering: It was most likely just "hit-and-run" vandalism, and I doubt we'll even see anything from this person again. Personally, I usually save Vandal2 until either they continue to vandalize after getting the Vandal1 warning, or if their edit was especially vulgar, profane, or disruptive. - Nick O'Demus 00:17, March 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) It's an unregistered IP
 * 2) It's their first and only edit
 * 3) It was relatively minor


 * Well, I'll admit these are just my personal guidelines. You don't have to apologize for having a different point of view. - Nick O'Demus 00:21, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Vote
That vote on the Talk:Hermione Granger page has gotten really close, huh? :P-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 00:57, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I am sure that others will agree with the new image Seth has uploaded and switch around their vote. If the picture gets over 6, I will eliminate the one with less votes, as we can't eliminate the other image, as it wouldn't be fair, as Seth just put on the image a few minutes ago.-- L.V.K.T.V.J.

Private Lessons
The original article needs to be moved back, not just copy-and-paste the text, or it will lose the page history. I'll ask an admin to fix it back to the way it was. - Nick O'Demus 03:41, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * Grunny fixed it. - Nick O'Demus 07:40, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Chief Snatcher
Kind of iffy. The source reference does have it capitalized as a proper title, but it also says "Chief Snatcher Picture Double", so it's not enough to tell if that will be the character's actual credited name in the film or not. We probably need to find a better reference. I'll go ahead and give it the conjecture tag for now, as the reference it's based on isn't official. - Nick O'Demus 04:07, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Magical genetics
> Sorry for eavesdropping, but you seem to have put considerable thought into this issue. The population part is a very compelling argument. I going to take a leap and say that you have a biology background. --JKoch<sup sizcache="0" sizset="39">(Owl Me!) 13:26, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Guilty as charged - I'm a biologist by training, even though not by career.

Considering that wikis are collaborative projects, I would say that eavesdropping is no crime.

Magorian
Actually, the main image was concept artwork for the fifth film, so technically, it is not fan art.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 02:18, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Crookshanks edits.
Certainly.

Whoever wrote that sentence clearly dropped a word, and it was impossible to me to find out which. Someone more skilled in wikis than I am might have found out the author and pointed it out to him, but it is too early for me to know how to do it. This way, I felt that the faulty passage would get a faster resolution than otherwise, and this is what happened.

My apologies.

Re:Slughorn
Please read HP&HBP p. 470 (UK edition) :) --Thorning 20:34, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Number of horcruxes.
John, before this one-upmanship with Thorning about the number of Voldemort's horcruxes escalates in an edit war, or whatever, I wanted to ask you. If it looks like a horcrux and behaves like a horcrux and has to be destroyed before Voldemort can be killed, what is it if not a horcrux?

Note seven of the horcrux page on this wikia states that Harry does not count as the horcrux-making process has not been used, but it looks highly suspicious to me. First, the soul fragment within Harry had to be killed before Voldemort could be, and I suspect that it is the killing of the soul fragments to be important rather than the destruction of the horcruxes. Second, a murder has been done (or more likely, at least two, since both James Potter and Lily Evans got killed withing minutes from each other). Third, at the time of the killing of Harry's parents', Voldemort's soul has already been split five times (since there are five horcrux), presumably using the same wand. It is not inconceivable that after repeating the process so many times, in the conditions present on that event, the wand (or Voldemort's subconscious mind) automatically activated the spells for making the horcruxes. after the Avada Kedavra spell that killed (presumably) Lily Evans.

I get the feeling that Thorning is right.

BTW, I noticed Thorning's post after I wrote this.

Ngebendi 21:43, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Apologies.
Sorry, John, for using the wrong term. Having seen what seemed to be a series of reciprocal "undo"es performed within minutes, I used the term "edit war" for want of a better definition, and felt compelled to step in with my opinion.

Guess I will get the knack of things here pretty soon, and in the meanwhile I'll bang my head in a few walls. Please, bear with me.

RE:Mafalda Hopkirk
Well, as little information we know about her, it looks great. Speaking of cleaning up articles, can you help me work on Albus Dumbledore's Pensieve? It only has information about what happened in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, so we need information about it from Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix.-- L.V.K.T.V.J.

 * Well, I will start a 1997 subsection right now, so you can work off of what I did. If we don't edit the same thing, then it will not matter. That is what I found out while we were editing at the same time.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. Hogwarts.jpg( Send an owl! ) 02:41, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Possibly Redundant Article
Half of it is pretty redundant. I'm thinking remove a lot of the stuff about the Minister, leaving just a brief mention and link to the Minister's article, expand the sections on the support staff, and retitle the article as Minister for Magic support staff with a Conjecture tag.

Order of the Phoenix Page Edit
Sorry if I'm going about this in the wrong way; I am a new person, so I'm going to come off as very ignorant.

The edit I made in the Order of Pheonix today that you changed back is what is bothering me. Mr. Weasley was not in the First Order, if I am not mistaken. Even if he was, further up on the page where the table telling about each Order member is listed, he is only put as being in the Second Order. So, when it says:

"Molly Weasley is not stated to have been a member of the original Order, despite her husband and her brothers all being members." (bold is mine)

That would be incorrect, wouldn't it? He was never mentioned as being part of the Original order either, likely for the same reason as Molly. Her brothers were mentioned in the picture, but Mr. Weasley wasn't.

So, I don't know if you want to change it, or how we go about doing things now, but I just thought I'd let you know, because it bothered me. I use the site myself to check up on obscure facts, and I want people to get the right information.

Thanks,

Blogs
At the moment, they're not. Wikia is refusing to suspend the feature since they are being used by a lot of people. I'm counter-arguing at the moment, and hopefully it may do some good. If not, I intend to set a strict policy for blogs in place, and police them rigidly. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 13:50, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikia believes that the current vote is not a wide enough consensus to warrant the suspension of the feature. As I said, I'm arguing the point and not giving up on it :) - Cavalier One Gryffindorcrest.jpg( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 07:35, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Blog policy
The thing is, that's already covered by the editing policy. "The Harry Potter Wiki is not the place for fanfiction or roleplaying". Currently the blogs are being used exclusively for that purpose, and should therfore be discontinued completely. I'm really angry that wikia won't allow us to remove something from our wiki, that we as a community have unanimously agreed is counterproductive. <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#406B2E">J <font face="Microsoft Sans Serif"><font color="#8DB87A">a <font color="#406B2E">y <font color="#8DB87A">c <font color="#406B2E">e  <font face="Arial" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8;">Darkmark.png•<font color="#406B2E">Avada Kedavra •<font color="#8DB87A">Crucio •<font color="#406B2E">Imperio • 18:33, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually there are other wiki hosts. And it is possible to transfer the Harry Potter wiki to another host. It's been done before on a wiki that I used to edit. They decided that wikia wasn't serving their best interests, so they upped and moved to another provider.
