Horcrux FA
I think I will take you on at trying to make all of he Horcrux article FAs. I myself haven't been on much lately, so I need something to keep my mind on before the mass of editing from the film publicity by wikia. Thanks. (P.S., I have just created this page from the redirect from your third talk archive. I didn't want to disturb it. Hope you don't mind.)-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 20:52, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Boots
Hey, so I was going through some of user 72.229.249.242's edits/new pages, and I was thinking about "Boots", as boots is not listed anywhere on the "Hogwarts uniform" article I'm not sure that's the best redirect (which is where the article stands currently). As video games definitely aren't my area of expertise (with the exception of Lego HP), I'm not 100% where to proceed with this. This website (http://www.gamefaqs.com/gbc/565542-harry-potter-and-the-sorceres-stone/faqs/30967) lists 3 different types of "boots". So the questions I Have are 1) Does this warrant an article. 2) Should there be 3 separate article for each type of boots. 3)Should this simply redirect to the video game article. 4) Should there be one article to cover all three boots (possibly the same with belts). What do you think? --BachLynn (Accio! ) 14:25, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Right, sorry-- I'll definitely do that. -- Emmy (★) 01:22, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Increasing our online visibility
With the recent rise in new users and contributions that has been the direct result of the current Wizarding World Giveaway, I would like us to consider increasing our visibility within the HP fan community. To this end, I am tabling the following actions for consideration: The HP community on the Internet is massive, and I think we could benefit from a higher profile. As you well know, I am against turning the site into some type of social network/forum, and I don't plan for that to change. I think that by maintaining these resources off site will allow us to better channel those users who want to engage in such activities away from the wiki and into more appropriate places. For instance, the FB fan page can be used as a social forum and image host, which will allow us to direct users there instead of dealing with them on site. Thoughts? - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 13:03, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The creation of some type of "affiliates program" where we can maintain links to other HP related sites and they can link back to us through mutual agreement.
 * 2) The setting up of an official HPW twitter feed that all administrators would be able to access and post through (or designate a member of the admin team to use).
 * 3) Setting up a Facebook "fan page".

Facebook and Twitter
Okay, our official Facebook fan page and Twitter feed are up! Any SysOps who want admin access to either should let me know through the email function; the FB can have admins, while I will provide the Twitter log-in details to you (it is set up on a separate HPW exclusive account). Links are on the main page as well. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 12:36, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

re:hey
I actually haven't seen the movie yet (gasp I know) I'm waiting till things die down a bit at the theatre, I hate crowds, but from all the pics I've seen I agree with you, the way they are dressed is reminiscent of the Nazi uniforms/attire. I wonder if that was done intentionally or accidentally. --BachLynn (Accio! ) 20:53, November 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's so cool, can't wait to see it, I definitely think it warrants mention in the ministry article. --BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(Accio! ) 21:14, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry if I caused trouble, I'm only trying to help. In my defence, it's impossible to distinguish sysops/crats from regular users...perhaps a hilite could be added to their signatures through the global CSS? 12:00, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

re:talk page comments
Hi, Ummm, I'm not entirely sure I understand what you are saying, so instead of editing an existing discussion page for an article and adding a new topic, unreg users are creating an entirely new talk page? Is there still a page somewhere to see newly created pages? I remember on the old skin (that I miss oh so much) there was a side bar app thingy you could add that showed you new pages created.......hmmmm..... Do you have an example of what you are talking about so I can understand better? --BachLynn (Accio! ) 20:44, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I see, have you been to this page before? New Articles....... I see the example you are referring to listed here also, and when you click on it, it brings you to the comment..... Helpful? --BachLynn (Accio! ) 20:51, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

I should add, just in case, I changed the drop down menu to show just the new "talk" articles in order to see the pages you were talking about. --BachLynn (Accio! ) 20:56, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Are you using the new wikia look? I seem to recall seeing a speech bubble that didn't seem to serve a purpose, but since being utterly frustrated with the new look I've since converted to monobook, although I can't stand the way you add categories using monobook, other then that I prefer it now to the new look. Oh so funny thing which only someone else who edits on this wikia would truly find humorous (as opposed to my husband), I'm american yet since editing on here with British terminology and spelling, I find myself sounding more and more British with each edit, lol, my husband caught me saying "bugger" and "spot on" earlier, I totally didn't realise I had done it lol! --BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(Accio! ) 21:11, November 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hope you don't mind me butting in. Those speech bubbles just show how many edits have been made to the talk page, and the link to said talk pages should be right next to the bubble. -- <font face="Gisha" color="red">Cubs Fan <font face="Gisha" color="white">(Talk to me)  21:34, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

LV's soul
Hey, could you clear something up for me, in the King's Cross article, under 1998, it says that the thing Harry sees represents 1/7 of LV's soul, I realise that that technically there was only 6 horcruxes around at the same time (By the time LV made Nagini, the Diary was destroyed) but at some point that still made 7 horcruxes in existence right? Adding in the piece of soul within LV, doesn't that mean that his soul was in 8 pieces. The whole splitting soul thing kinda confuses me, I mean if you cut a cookie into 8 parts, even after you eat a part the remaining still represent 7/8 of the original whole....... Do you see where I'm confused? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 20:23, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Low Res Images
I would say in this cases we can use good sense to discern which images stay and which don't. For instance, File:Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald.JPG is very low quality but as it is clear enough to make out (and, at the current time, the best resolution we can hope for) it is "usable". As for images like this one which are not clear and really do not add anything to the article, it is better not to use them. Which Gringotts image are you referring to, specifically? This one? Well, I do think it deserves being showcased in an article as it is clear enough [one can make out the destroyed chandeliers (in the upper center), pieces of the roof (center, the golden arches among the rubble) and collapsed wooden guichets (far right/left)] and it presents a visual depiction of the trio's escape. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 21:29, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

LOTR Horcrux comparison
First of all, this is Planet-man828. I forgot that I used to use a different account here and have reverted back to it.

Anyway, I think drawing the line there is fairly arbitrary, but won't press the issue or add more. I would like to clean up up the paragraph that's already there though, so heads up if you wanna take a look at it. --Paraknight 09:04, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, that I didn't know. I thought in the middle of a sentence it had to be written small. Good to know for the future! Harry granger 19:40, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying that for me. :) Severus Riddle 14:41, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Locket
It's a bad answer : Reducto and Reductor Curse are the same page so the link was perfectly correct (the link was not towards Reducio as you pretend, you can check). You have replaced Expulso by Blasting Curse, I'm really doubtfull because here, it's not the same spell, it was not written Confringo. Interwiki links should be a fact more interesting for admins than "clean up links" that don't need to be cleaned: redirections exist on wikia to help people. -- 17:12, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

New Look
I hate it too. You can always switch over to monobook, as I have done. Jayden Matthews 18:07, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Comments
There is, so far as I know, no way to automatically move a comment to an article talk page. If you wanted, you could cut-and-paste the comment text onto a talk page with an unsigned tag, then delete the original comment. It would probably also be helpful to leave the anon a note about where their comment has been moved.

I find the new layout aesthetically pleasing but much more difficult to navigate when editing. <font color="Green">★ <font face="Times" color="green">S <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">a <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">r <font face="Times" color="green">s <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">u <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">f <font face="Times" color="green">f <font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!) 18:16, December 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * When an article first loads, where the "talk" link is located, it briefly says "comment." If you click that link in time, it opens a comment box at the very bottom of the page, below the two square ads. It seems that the "comment" link has been programmed to disappear, but people seem to catch it in time to leave comments. <font color="Green">★ <font face="Times" color="green">S <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">a <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">r <font face="Times" color="green">s <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">u <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">f <font face="Times" color="green">f <font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!) 18:30, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Policy
It would make the most sense to note proper source formatting under the "Sources" section of the Layout Guide. If you want to add such an explanation, I don't see why it should be an issue. Your proposed change to a policy page would simply be recording a rule that's already in place, so it wouldn't require it first be approved by a vote. <font color="Green">★ <font face="Times" color="green">S <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">a <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">r <font face="Times" color="green">s <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">u <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">f <font face="Times" color="green">f <font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!) 19:27, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Percy Weasley
Sorry but I thought it would be best to edit this page considering that the name given is wrong. 'Percy' is a nickname used in the novels, not an actual birth name. Percy's real name is Percival, though not used often. It states this in 'Order of the Phoenix' when Harry is being tried by the Wizengamot. Fudge reads off everyone's full names. 'Percy's' name is stated as: Percival Ignatius Weasley (court scribe at the time).

Duels
I'd say selection criteria would be relevance within the particular conflict. The Duel in the Ministry Atrium, for instance, was of huge significance to History (resulting on the Ministry's recognition that Voldemort was indeed back). The duel between Bellatrix and Molly, as kick-ass character moment it may be, it was not very relevant to the conclusion of the battle or the war. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 13:29, December 3, 2010 (UTC)

Comments
The comments section was enable to allow users to respond to the Wizarding World Giveaway. When it was turned on, it caused all pages to display comments sections instead of talk page links. Grunny fixed this by altering the site's .js to recreate the link and eliminate the comments sections on all but that one page, but anons and those without javascript enabled still see the comments sections. There's no automatic way to delete the comment, but typing http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Article name/@comment username-somenumbers?redirect=no&action=delete and replacing "Talk:Article name/@comment username-somenumbers" with the page name of the comment should bring you to the delete page. Now that the contest is over, though, I've requested Staff to turn the feature off permanently. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 17:26, December 3, 2010 (UTC)

Bellatrix's abilities
If you don't like "amazing" being written in Bellatrix's duelling skills section then would "exceptional" be acceptable? After all that has been written in Albus Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort's articles and Bellatrix is an exceptional duellist and displayed her skills on numerous occassions.Powerstaark 19:24, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
