Olympe's mother
I'm guessing the article was created because Hagrid asked Olympe at the Yule ball if it was her father or mother who was a giant, I don't know though if that's enough to constitute an article for her mother. Hey, I was thinking of making a category for real-world actors who did video game voices, but I know that there is an overlap of some of the movie actors who did the voices and wasn't sure what a category could be. I've done a lot of edits on the actors pages the last couple of months and it was just an idea I had. What do you think? --BachLynn (Accio! ) 02:11, November 14, 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 ) 13:05, 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".

New characters/articles
Hey, Seth. I heard alot of deaths that weren't mentioned in the book coming from Ron's radio, and I didn't catch all of them and didn't bother to write them down. :P Do we have any way to get all of the names to get articles out of all of them? Thanks.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 02:09, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Facebook and Twitter
Okay, our official Facebook fan page and Twitter feed are up!

Hi, Seth! What happened to this site? Looks as has somebody vandalised !!! Harry granger 21:26, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

Fix
I hope you can the category: Category:Death Eater defectors. Rubeus Hagrid appears as Lucius Malfoy and Neville Longbtoom appears Severus Snape.--Station7 21:38, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Another one: Category:Slytherins, Draco Malfoy appears as Lucius Malfoy, Category:Gryffindors, Lily Evans and James Potter appear as Albus Dumbledore.--Station7 21:42, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Low Res Images
A lot of the pictures recently being added to the wiki are really low res captures from Part 1. What is our policy on those? I mean, sometimes it is hard to tell what the picture is supposed to of (example: the picture of Gringotts post theft). I honestly have no idea what that picture is showing. --JKoch (Owl Me! ) 19:54, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Panini
Hi, I don't know if you're aware, but in the Panini DH1, it's possible to see Kendra and Ariana's grave. Apparently according to the text, we must also see when Harry finds Lily's letter to Sirius in the room but I haven't found the picture yet. For information, did you also see this discussion page? Talk:Ted Tonks See you soon, -- 20:35, November 29, 2010 (UTC) (Thanks for correcting my wrong link on french wiki)


 * According to Panini sticker album too, there's indeed Viktor Krum in DH1: Krum is on the picture 111, a new image with Stanislav Ianevski. -- 20:30, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Duels
What is our policy about specific duels within battles. I know we have an article for the Duel in Little Hangleton during the Return of the Dark Lord and the Duel in the Ministry Atrium during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. But there is a new one, the Duel between Bellatrix Lestrange vs. Molly Weasley? --JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 02:38, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Multiple accounts
I've been editing for the past week with my usual wikia account "Planet-man828", but then realized that all the edits I made last year were with this account, which is the one I want to keep using. I know some places have rules about users having more than one account so figured I'd clear it with an Admin ahead of time.

Also, is there any way you guys can merge the two so I can keep the record of my Planet-man828 edits under this account? No big deal if not, but I'd appreciate it if it's possible.

Thanks, --Paraknight 09:14, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

I have disected all opposing arguments quite thoroughly, and demonstrated quite clearly (using the books as a reference) why Avada Kedavra could have killed Sirius. Ergo, according to this wiki's canon policy, it did. Unless you have anything further to add to the discussion, kindly delete the article. 86.145.92.21 16:30, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Editing Policies
hey, not sure if you've noticed yet, but user 86.145.92.21, despite the policies he's been quoting to administrators about canon, so far only has made numerous edits to talk pages, and has yet to edit a single article. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 17:26, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

I've just asked BachLynn23 about creating a page to list all known potion ingrediants and all known plants. BachLynn23 said that a list for potion ingrediants would be okay, but isn't sure about a list for plants. What do you think?Raindrops 242 19:12, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Dark Arts
Hey, I had a couple of questions about the Dark Arts page I was wondering if you could clear up for me.... :-) First off there's a picture of Polyjuice potion on the page, but I do not see polyjuice potion listed as a dark potion. So if it's not a dark potion I'm thinking the picture should be removed, and if it is a dark potion then shouldn't anyone known to have brewed it be listed as known practitioners of the dark arts (i.e. Hermione and Moody). Also, on the talk page there was discussion as to whether Harry and Dolores warranted being listed, the way the talk page was left I thought it was left they shouldn't be. Now Harry probably should, I'm a little unclear why Umbridge is, I mean she only almost used crucio, when she sent the dementors after Harry they were technically under ministry control, and if the blood quill constituted as dark arts, then shouldn't the quill be listed on the page? Also didn't Minerva use Imperio on the Carrow twins in the Ravenclaw tower? Oh, and when did Dumbledore use dark arts? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 01:37, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Why are the Potter family listed under the Peverell family. If the Potter family were members of the Peverell family then there would be no point in having separate family categories. All families would have to be included i the one category.

navigation templates
Hey, just wondering if you had taken a look at any of the new nav templates I've made (potions, care of magical creatures, dada and astronomy)? Also, if you have time could you take a look at my sandbox (User:BachLynn23/Sandbox), I've been playing around with doing a nav template for the Ministry of Magic. I mean maybe we don't need one and that's cool, I've been trying to make it look like a directory you might see in the lobby of a company/office building, any thoughts or suggestions? Feel free to make edits to it..... --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:51, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I really like making templates! Yea, the length I knew was an issue, but I was torn on where to split it down, I'll play around with splitting it down into seperate templates and let you know what I come up with, also I was thinking I wanted to try and to a template for Arithmancy, history of magic and muggle studies, but I wasn't sure if there was even enough information to put on templates for those classes. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 19:05, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, also, for the departments, should I list departments even if they don't have their own page, or only departments that have an article? I was sort of thinking where it's purpose is a "navigation" template that it should only list things that can be "clicked" on...... --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 19:15, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've found a few since, I need to update the links on the British Ministry of Magic article because a lot of the departments aren't linked, but there's still a few offices listed that don't seem to have articles:
 * Office of the Adviser to Minister
 * Office of the Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic (the senior undersecretary has an article for the office as well as the position, but Junior asst only has one for the position)
 * Muggle Liaison Office
 * Accidental Magic Reversal Squad, Obliviator Headquarters, and Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee (these all just link back to Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes)
 * Goblin Liaison Office
 * Pest Advisory Board
 * International Magical Office of Law
 * International Magical Trading Standards Body
 * Broom Regulatory Control
 * Portkey Office
 * Lobby and Reception Area
 * Security Desk
 * The Thought Chamber, The Time Chamber, The Space Chamber, The Love Chamber a.k.a. The Ever-Locked Room (These all just link to the department of mysteries)
 * Also, Senior Undersecretary of The Minister of Magic's Office, shouldn't this be "to the" instead of "of the" or maybe I'm just reading it wrong (kind of tired today, lol), and should the article for the office be a little more generic, it seems to only talk about Dolores's office when she held this position. And are there any separate articles for the courtrooms? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 19:51, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow, you're right, what do you think about maybe getting organised and starting a project on this, it seems to me that with the new movies and video games out that British Ministry of Magic article could probably use some cleaning up and maybe really go through all the articles related to the departments and offices making sure we have all we need and such. I've got a couple of other on-going projects I've been working slowly on but as i still don't have a  job, I definitely have time to help with this. I just figure with all the contributors to the site it would be easier if we had a project started so people know what needs to be done to help...what do you think? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 20:16, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

 * Sounds to me like it may have been a position created at the moment out of need. I mean in the middle of a war it would seem silly to completely sack Fudge as he could be useful, it could also just have been another way of calling him an assistant or something, but as you say there is definitely no proof whatever the position actually was that he had an office.... Oh, and made a feew changes to the templates, if you get a sec check them out let me know what you think....--<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 01:55, December 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yea I feel the same as you do about option #1, I'm still going to play around with it, I really want to come up with an option that gives us tidy and looks cool, what do you think about the employee ones? I haven't decided if I should take off the minister for magic personel completely off the main one and keep it as a seperate template, or keep it on the main one and just have a seperate template for it also.... I've been watching you work page, using it as a reference point for my templates, I just came across something though, the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol and Hit Wizards are part of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, should they be listed as separate departments on the Ministry page and templates? (oh and fyi, also feel free if you see anything on my sandbox / templates to edit feel free ;-) --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 02:16, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Ministry nav template
I've done some more edits to the template in my sandbox. I split one into just departments, but it still seems a bit long, I was thinking of maybe switching up the style, and using a style like the staff template uses instead. I split the other into just employees, although I could still go down further on this one and do a separate one just for employees relating to the Ministry of Magic. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 20:27, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

I did the departments in 2 different styles on my sandbox, check it out, let me know which you like better, either way there's still tweaking to be done as far as the departments listed..... --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 22:35, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Office
Hey, I think the move you just made might make that article more confusing. From the title it is ambiguous if you are talking about the physical office in which she works, or the job position as in "she holds the office." --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 21:02, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Btn 98 and 17
Hey, the Between 1998 and 2017 page list Ron as moving from WWW to the Auror office, I thought we decided he worked for the Aurors first, and then moved on the help his brother? --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 02:27, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

MoM Departments nav box option 3
Good morning! So I've been working on a 3rd option this morning for the department Navigation template, and I think I've got it, so you really really need to take a look, I think this option may combine the tidiness we liked about #2 with the appearances we liked about #1....let me know!!! --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 15:26, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Games and Sports
Happy New Year!!! So not that I need any more projects right now, but I was going through some articles and noticed that there are quite a few sports or game related articles but no specific info box for them (not that I found at least), and was wondering if this is something that would be worthwhile to have, what do you think? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 16:03, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Level 3
Hi! So I know you've seen some of the latest work I've done today, and right now I'm a little stuck with what to do with Level 3 of the Ministry, as far as the department box it would look the same as Level 2, but as far as I can tell we only know of 2 employees in the entire level of department's, so what do you think I should do? 1) Combine the two templates 2) not do an employee template for level 3. OR (insert your suggestion here, lol)??? Oh, and I definitely like the changes you made to Level 2 employees! :-) --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 23:54, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I am JediBob64 and I kind of need help, because on the actual help page i cannot find how to add images or those info-template thingies. Thanks. 6:36, January 1st, 2011

Levels 8 & 10
Hi, so what are your thoughts on the nav boxes for levels 8 and 10. Now with Level 8 (the atrium) I figure there's enough there to warrant a nav box for the level, but as far as employee's, assuming Maintenance is in fact level 8 I only know of 1 (Reginald Cattermole), now with Level 10 it is just courtrooms and as we only have an article on 1 court room and no employee's, I'm thinking Level 10 doesn't need to be broken down into smaller nav boxes? Anyways, until I hear from you I'm only going to make a Ministry Level 8 nav box (no employees one), and nothing for 10. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 14:52, January 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm with you on Level 8 employees, I only put Maintenance on the Level 8 nav until we have prove or disprove, I'll look through book 7 in a bit, the part where Ron is disguised as Reg, maybe there's something there (or could be the movie but I haven't seen it yet, unforunately), but assuming we prove it's on Level 8, that still only leaves us with 1 employees, not much to navigate. And moving the Wizengamot to Level 10 (from level 2 emp's) seems like a good idea, so the level 10 nav box should it be Level 10 employees or just Level 10 and cover both the courtroom 10 and the Wizengamot members? Oh, and I forgot to ask, as there is a separate nav for Aurors, should I take the Aurors off the Level 2 emp nav box? I don't know why I didn't think of that when I made the box, must have had a blonde moment, lol! --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 15:56, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, so assuming I don't find anything in the book about Maintenance being on level 8, I'm thinking it gets grouped in with the departments that we don't know their location in the MoM...... I haven't checked yet, but assuming Mainteance is one, then I know of at least 2 dept's that we don't know their location within the MoM. I have to run to the store, but when I get back I'll start working on Level 10's nav boxes and merging the Aurors boxes and doing all the necessary page corrections. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 16:22, January 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I just read the entire chapter when Ron and them are in the Ministry (both in the American and British versions), and nothing is said about which level the Maintenance dept is on. The entire time Ron is there he's dealing with Yaxley's office, when Harry runs into him after going through Umbridge's office he was on his way to get Bernie Pillsworth, but before that happens Arthur suggests another spell to try on the office, so he never actually goes to get Bernie, he gets off the lift before Harry and Arthur, then Arthur got out at Level 8. Also, I have all the Auror employees on the Level 2 emp's, so if you want to go ahead and delete Template:Aurors go ahead. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:19, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Misc Ministry emp's
Hey, so it just occurred to me, if we do something for the Dept's that are of unknown location within the Ministry, should we also do something for all of the Emp's who we don't know specifically which dept's they work for? (i.e. Bernie and Bletchley) --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:32, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'll make one up, see how it looks and all. If we use it, we do, if not, no biggie. I mean, well, do we have a category for MoM emp's of unknown dept? (like we do for Hogwarts students of unknown house)? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:51, January 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought that might have been the case, I figure even if we don't end up using a nav box for them, they at the very least should have a category. Oh, and can you look at, I wasn't sure what to title it on the nav box. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:56, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

MoM workers with no dept identified
I went through the list, and these are the names that don't have an identified department that they work for:
 * Bernie (Possibly maintenance as he was to help Ron/Reg, but that's speculation)
 * Basil
 * Bob (Possibly in Level 4 somewhere, as he's dealing with a fire breathing chicken, again, speculation)
 * Bletchley
 * British Ministry of Magic pamphlet maker
 * Cho Chang's mother
 * Stamford Jorkins
 * Ministry Official No. 39423
 * Ministry of Magic meeting assigner
 * Lucius Malfoy (Maybe we do know this one, something to do with the Board of Governors?)
 * Wakanda
 * Overweight Ministry of Magic worker
 * Phoebus Penrose
 * Travers
 * Selwyn
 * Albert Runcorn (Level 2 maybe, speculation)
 * Unidentified Ministry of Magic Wizard at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup (Level 2 or 6 possibly, speculation)

Now these employee's department's are identified, but the location of their departments are not identified:
 * Reginald Cattermole
 * Balfour Blane
 * Gilbert Wimple

Here's what I have so far for the dept's of unknown levels & their emp's. Also, do you I'm still debating on nav boxes for History of Magic, Arithmancy, and Muggle studies, do you think there is too few information to warrant boxes? I mean with History of Magic, there's 1 professor, 1 classroom and 1 text book (unless I add all books related to history).......I'll work up a box for the emp's of unknown dept right now. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 22:53, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Classrooms
Hey, I was curious, I've noticed that classrooms have been put into a teacher's "possessions" category, can classrooms be considered someone's "possession" I mean the classrooms are a part of Hogwarts, but the teacher's don't necessarily own them, I mean I could be totally off base, I was just wondering.... :-) --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 22:02, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Hogwarts Castle project
Hi, so just wanted to touch base with you, I was looking at the Hogwarts Castle article today and noticed that it had a "needs to be cleaned up" tag, so I thought I'd tackle that, do you know if anyone else is working on it? At the same time I thought maybe I'd come up with some Nav templates to go along with it, something for each floor showing all the locations and portraits and such on each floor, I've started by going through all of the Hogwarts location articles, and am beginning to realise this may be a larger project then I first realised (lol), I'm writing up notes right now (questions will follow in the next day or so), I've noticed that some articles give conflicting information, and I have a feeling that part of that is because of locations changing between books and movies and video games, but not all of the articles reflect BTS sections explaining this. Right now I'm thinking nav templates for: Grounds, Below Ground, ground floor, 1st fl, 2nd fl, 3rd fl, 4th fl, 5th fl, 6th fl, 7th fl and Locations of unknown position in Hogwarts. I've also realised that those may not be enough per say, for instance there's the Towers that connect at multiple levels, and various staircases and corridors that connect floors, so I'm not sure where those should fit in if I do nav templates, what are your thoughts? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 01:36, January 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool, thanks, I should be a lot more organised by this weekend (maybe, lol), I'm going to start referencing back and forth between our site and Lexicon, I have a feeling some of the discrepencies in the articles here may be because of the differences in American/British versions of the floor systems (ground floor/first floor/etc). --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 02:10, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

classrooms and dormitories
Hi. I´ve created a Slytherin dormitory article. And noticed that nummerous classroom articles (fifth floor classrom, classrooms 7B,7C,6A,1A,1C,1D,1E) currently don´´t have images. Unfortunatelly, taking screenshots doesn´t work on my computer. Should we create an article for the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw dormitories? What do you think about adding an image of the Lego Ravenclaw door knocker until the last film is released.--Rodolphus 12:35, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Abilities and Skills
I think some users are exaggerating in the Magical Abilities and Skills sections. I mean, Tom Riddle, needs to be pared down, a lot of what is listed is listed twice or three times. People are blowing Harry's abilities out of proportion too, I think.

Skills Forum
Hey, I have been looking into the "Magical abilities and skills" sections of many of our articles, and I have found some serious problems with users going overboard, so I started a forum to see if we could standardize the rules and come up with some criteria to determine whether a character is an "Expert Duellist" or just a "Skilled Duellist." It can be found here. --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 19:45, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Keep an Eye out for Ghosts
Can I ask why you have deleted this article? It may be an explaining note, but it's the only name we have for the room, which appears on the Marauder's Map replica. I can't see the reason for deleting a page simply because there is no better name than the one given in the source.--Jpkilleen 00:30, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Trophy room
Hi, in reference to the Hogwarts Castle article and the navigation boxes I'm creating for the castle, where should the Trophy Room be? In the books it's on the third floor, but in the movies and video games it's down a set of stairs off of the Great Hall (which I would presume if it's going down a set of stairs that it would make it located "below ground floor level", what do you think? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 17:27, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Below ground floor

 * Stairs/Paths (Beginning or ending here)
 * Entrance Dungeon staircase
 * Potions staircase
 * Boathouse path
 * Boathouse staircase
 * Passages
 * Way to the Forbidden Forest

Also, should Training Grounds and Secret room near the Training Grounds be put under "grounds", "ground floor" or "first floor"? --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 20:08, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Books
Oh, and I don't know if you've noticed, but a user went through and was changing all the books so that the Titles are no longer italicised in the article names, I wasn't sure if this was ok or not, I was under the impression that book article names are supposed to be italicised, but wasn't sure. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 21:05, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * I'll keep that in mind from here out if I notice it happen again. It happened over such a short period of time and on so many books I wanted to be 100% sure before I did anything. I know the user who did it does try to make good edits, but in this case is probably just isn't aware of how it should be. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn Gryffindorcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 22:36, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
