Question
I have a question. Can I put on my userpage that I have Autism. Then people understand me more. How do you think about this?--Station7 21:00, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Fleur Image
There are 3 links from various Potter fan-sites that got sent the images directly from WB. That one is the correct version. The other version is a photoshop. The user who uploaded the original, that I kept on trying to replace (I think it was Pol_187 or something), has uploaded a few photoshopped images before. I know he doesn't speak English very well, but I do think he needs a reminder. Thanks. Jack5555 20:52, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks! BTW, he uploaded more photoshopped images, and I corrected them, then he told me not to. Jack5555 22:44, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cav. First of all I'd like to apologize for my recent changes that were against policy. I didn't realise that they were against policy and I'll take great care not to do so again. Second, I think there should be a second vote on the image to use for Fleur's infobox. There's a new image in her talk page that I think would be suitable. I've also set up a blog post about it, and between that and the talk page, everyone who's commented so far has been in favour of it. Mr. Mortimer, 21:36, 19 December 2010

Mr Mortimer
Hi Cav, nice to see you again. I warned Mr Mortimer about not following the image policy a few minutes ago, but he's continuing to upload images without applying the template, or adding categories. Perhaps you could talk to him. Cheers. Jayden Matthews 20:09, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Article Comments
Thanks for fixing my forum post. I hope this temporary change won't upset everyone too much-it's reversible, so please don't worry about deleting comments everywhere-they will automatically disappear when we disable article comments. Let me know if you have more issues. Thanks so much for your help! -- Kacie (talk ) 19:45, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Talk pages
Hi, Cav! I saw your answer to Jayden Matthews about the replacing of the talk pages with comment boxes so I wanted to tell you that: I found out that the talk pages are not away. When you write Talk: before the article than it is again there. But that is much more uncomfortable as it was before. Harry granger 19:48, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, it's not permenant. That's OK then, though I still think the community should have been alerted to the change beforehand. Also, you probably noticed already, but I sorted out Mr. Mortimer. He wasn't deliberately ignoring the image policy, he just didn't know how to fill out the template. I explained it to him. Jayden Matthews 19:53, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a problem, he meant no harm afterall. Another thing I've been meaning to ask you is - are there any plans to customize Wikia's "new look" on this site? And if not do you want me to have a go? Or is HP Wiki "moving" Jayden Matthews 20:12, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool. I can always be working on it while the giveaway is taking place. That way, when it ends they'll be something to present to the community. I hate it too, especially the reduced article width:( Jayden Matthews 20:22, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Question
I saw a few new userpages recently created, and I'm not sure what to make of it:


 * User:Yard7296
 * User:Mai1116
 * User:Taka7296

They seems similar to User:Yard's page, supposedly an Admin from the Japanese HP wiki. I'm not sure what should be done about this, if anything. - Nick O'Demus 22:21, November 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm having trouble deleting comments on other pages. The option to delete isn't coming up, and when I click on the link to the specific comment, it just takes me to the main article. Am I missing something? There are 4 by User:Ihelpcrazys1217 that need to be deleted. - Nick O'Demus 23:53, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Doh
Hey, can you delete a page for me File:Monosodium Glutamate.png‎ I was trying to upload an actor pic, and I uploaded the wrong pic before I realised it.....pretty please, and thank you! --BachLynn (Accio! ) 00:16, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

vandalism
User 68.45.236.207 had done some serious vandal to 3 pages, I've reverted the vandalism and warned the user, but I wanted to give you a heads up. --BachLynn (Accio! ) 00:42, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hangon and I'm on other wiki's so don't think I ddon't know any thing, But I'm having some trouble an was wondering if you could help me, my http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/ has different coding than this one, If you try even editing a user page or any thing, it shows different text tools at the top, Please help me :( 14:13, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

upload
so i can't upload any pictures or animated pictures that i like on google? if they aren't harry potter illitrations?

Hello!
Sorry, Didn't realize my profile wasn't on here. I talked with Kacie and she said you were really interested in getting affiliates. So I have been doing some marketing on behalf of Harry Potter Wiki, specifically for the contest but also for regular affiliates. If you would like to find your own affiliates thats fine. And in regards to the email I was going to have you all take it over. Just wasn't sure who was top dog or muggle rather :) Anyway, let me know the verdict. Babyjabba 01:07, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Visibility
I agree with all of those actions. --JKoch (Owl Me! ) 16:03, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Recent rise in new users" is right; we've had as many new registrations in the last week as the last 3 months combined. But yeah, increasing our visibility and working closer with some of the other major fansites would be great. And having affiliated FaceBook and Twitter sites to channel some of the more "social" editing couldn't hurt. - Nick O'Demus 20:13, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * These are all GREAT ideas! We would love to help you get this plan in motion. -- Kacie (talk ) 23:43, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree as well! --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 15:30, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Deathly Hallows Review and Picture Pages
Cav, I'm going to add a Deathly Hallows: Part 1 review page and a picture gallery page so people can post reviews and pictures tonight after the premiere for an extra giveaway entry. Where would you like those two pages to live on the wiki?-- Kacie (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:45, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Missing Character Page
Hey, so I've been editing through some actor pages, and I noticed that Freddie Hogan is mentioned as playing "Terry Skeres", but there isn't a page for this character yet, it's in part 2 of the Deathly Hallows, I was wondering if you know if we have any more information regarding this character yet? Also, eventually down the road I'm hoping to make admin, I was wondering if you had any ideas of areas I need to improve as a HP wikia editor so maybe someday I can be an admin.... --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:47, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Link Buttons
Hey Cav, I uploaded these but I'm not sure what kind of licensing you all want on them...I looked at the options and it made my head hurt :P I havn't put them anywhere yet, I just need somewhere to house them so sites can come grab em. By the way, any headway on affiliates stuff? Babyjabba 23:56, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Affiliates
Hey Cav, We are up to 4 affiliates so we really need to get a page up, so that they don't change their minds. It will only take a second and you can discuss it and change it around all you want afterwords. Anyway, please let me know the plan so I don't leave these people hanging. Babyjabba 21:15, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Comments/Talk Page edits
I've been gone for a couple of months, so what's with the "Comments" that are supposed to be talk page edits and that little bubble with the numbers in it atop articles. Thanks, --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 02:40, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Template:1st
User:Arusbeck177 made a recent vandalism edit to the 1st template. Yatanogarasu already reverted it just a bit later, but "HARRY POTTER RULEZ<3" is still showing up wherever the template is applied. Does this need to wait for the next data cache to clear out? Also, will deleting the template and then recreating it fix this? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 07:06, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, it stopped doing it. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 09:45, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

A second opinion
There are a couple of new articles I'm not sure are worth keeping: Unidentified male Durmstrang teacher at the Yule Ball and Woman at Wedding of Bill and Fleur. It's one thing to have articles for unnamed extras who have a speaking part, play a prominent role in a scene, or at least have their actors positively identified, but these seem to be too far into the background. I'm not even certain if that "Durmstrang teacher" actually IS supposed to be from Durmstrang, and while the woman's actress is listed as Annette Elstob, I'm not so sure that's her in the picture on the article. I'd like a second opinion before removing them, so what do you think? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 12:12, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can I give my opinion ? If they don't have a speaking role in the movies or they have no significant importance the article shouldn't be kept about them. AznPride112 12:17, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Assistance
Hi, user 86.145.92.21 has posed some pretty big discussions on the Killing Curse page and the Unidentified Curse that Bellatrix used against Sirius in the book, the talk pages are getting pretty heated. Also as much as this user seems to quote policies, I'd also like to note that so far this user has only made numerous edits to talk pages, which I don't need to tell you is also against policy as he has made no edits to actual articles. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 17:20, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Multiple accts.
Hey, I think User:Bulgaria 2002 is a second acct for User:Radu Nichifor. Even though both have made few edits, both have been warned of Fanon regarding the fictional "Radu (last name I can't remember). Check out Bulgaria 2002's edits to British Ministry of Magic and compare them to Radu Nichifor's edits to Bulgaria and Rubeus Hagrid. Thanks, --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 20:40, December 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I asked Wikia to run a checkuser on and, and their response was: "The two users do indeed match one another, but they don't match any other users." Both accounts created the Death Of Cornelius Fudge article, and both accounts received Fanon warnings for it. You also recently gave Awesomeman222 a 3 month block for vandalism. What would be the best course of action? Should both accounts be permanently banned, or should both accounts be given a temporary block with additional warnings on the multiple accounts policy? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus  02:52, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Enodoc's User and User Talk Pages
For some reason, Caio1478 has, as his only contribution to this wiki, decided to create my User and User talk pages on this wiki (and in Portuguese, no less). While I have nothing against this wiki, I would be grateful if you could delete them as I do not plan to contribute here.

Explicit vandalism
Please take a look at what was just done to the Gellert Grindelwald page. 12.51.4.122 15:55, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting
Hi, Cav! Perhaps you can help me. I tried to delete the page name: Charlie Weasley from my user page under the "following pages", because this page is now named Charles Weasley. Charles Weasley is in, but I can't delete the old Charlie Weasley. I use Mono. Is that the cause or what can I do? Thanks in advance for your help! Harry granger 17:28, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thank you very much. I tried it and it does function. Thanks again. Harry granger 18:27, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Page Deletion
Hi, I just noticed in the wiki's recent activity that this page was created by a wikia contributor. I believe this doesn't belong in the wiki at all, and should be deleted. It's about some Harry Potter RPG site or something. Thanks. -- Texthawm | To   Click Here  21:52, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the advice on the image thing, but.. which image did I upload? The only image I ever uploaded was one for my user image. Could you tell me which image was uploaded by "me"? Sorry If I did something wrong, I'm a rookie, and I don't know much about the rules. I just read some lines from the privacy policy, but nothing further. Please send me some advice, so that nothing like this happens again. Thanks again, InoSakuraConflict 23:03, December 19, 2010 (UTC).

Film Wizardry
User:NevilleismyHERO came to me asking about the canonicity of Harry Potter Film Wizardry. I just noticed it being used as a reference on the page Mafalda Hopkirk. Do we know if it was a licensed product, or had any JKR input? --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 04:20, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Frustrated
I would like to know why you guys continue to mention Harry Potter being released in the 90's.

In 1990, J. K. Rowling was on a crowded train from Manchester to London when the idea for Harry suddenly "fell into her head". Rowling gives an account of the experience on her website saying:<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Harry_falls_into_author.27s_head_44-0">[45] "I had been writing almost continuously since the age of six but I had never been so excited about an idea before. I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up in my brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who did not know he was a wizard became more and more real to me."Rowling completed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1995 and the manuscript was sent off to several prospective agents.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-45">[46] The second agent she tried, Christopher Little, offered to represent her and sent the manuscript to Bloomsbury. After eight other publishers had rejected Philosopher's Stone, Bloomsbury offered Rowling a £2,500 advance for its publication.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-46">[47] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Ivory_Tower_2_47-0">[48] Despite Rowling's statement that she did not have any particular age group in mind when beginning to write the Harry Potter books, the publishers initially targeted children aged nine to eleven.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-48">[49] On the eve of publishing, Rowling was asked by her publishers to adopt a more gender-neutral pen name in order to appeal to the male members of this age group, fearing that they would not be interested in reading a novel they knew to be written by a woman. She elected to use J. K. Rowling (Joanne Kathleen Rowling), using her grandmother's name as her second name because she has no middle name.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Ivory_Tower_2_47-1">[48] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-49">[50]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published by Bloomsbury, the publisher of all Harry Potter books in the United Kingdom, on 30 June 1997.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-50">[51] It was released in the United States on 1 September 1998 by Scholastic—the American publisher of the books—as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-51">[52] after Rowling had received US$105,000 for the American rights—an unprecedented amount for a children's book by a then-unknown author.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-52">[53] Fearing that American readers would not associate the word "philosopher" with a magical theme (although the Philosopher's Stone is alchemy-related), Scholastic insisted that the book be given the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the American market.

The second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was originally published in the UK on 2 July 1998 and in the US on 2 June 1999.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Harry_Potter_UK_Release_Dates_53-0">[54] Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was then published a year later in the UK on 8 July 1999 and in the US on 8 September 1999.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Harry_Potter_UK_Release_Dates_53-1">[54] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was published on 8 July 2000 at the same time by Bloomsbury and Scholastic.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-54">[55] Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the longest book in the series at 766 pages in the UK version and 870 pages in the US version.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-55">[56] It was published worldwide in English on 21 June 2003.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-56">[57] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was published on 16 July 2005, and it sold 9 million copies in the first 24 hours of its worldwide release.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-57">[58] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-58">[59] The seventh and final novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published 21 July 2007.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-59">[60] The book sold 11 million copies in the first 24 hours of release, breaking down to 2.7 million copies in the UK and 8.3 million in the US.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-60">[61]

Moved page
Someone moved Neville Longbottom's first wand to Frank Longbottom's first wand, his reason was that he thought that the article title should be that of the original owner, but even if that's the case it would have been Frank's only wand (not first), but I was always under the impression that it was called Neville's was because it's first identified in the story line as his wand and there's never a reference to Frank using it. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 15:14, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Slytherin captains
Dear Admins,

I don't know who is doing what and who is still active here so I am sending this to all of you. There are a few users, mainly BachLynn23 and Rodolphus that keep changing pages here with untrue facts. I have amended the Slytherin Quidditch Team page with the info that there are no female players, as Rowling states so a few times in her books and in several interviews, on the team. I also took out the spoof names in the list on the right hand side.

Two minutes later that Rodolphus changed it, I corrected it, the user changed it. It is not right that fans and those seeking correct information get mislead on here with names that were created in a fanfiction or the users own mind and may think it happened making a fool of themselves with other fans during discussions.

I have messaged the user and asked to please stop but they did not react and just amended it again. Even putting on some of the pages "Spoof only" but this has now been taken out by BachLynn23.

Maybe you can make sure the page is correct and then have it so that no one can edit it anymore, or do something about this? I am a Harry Potter expert and know every fact that is given us from the books and the great athors interviews therefore I don't really think it is nice to have false information and made up people on here.

I hope you can take care of this in one way or another as I won't continue editing as I am not in kindergarten or pre-school and most certainly those users appear to be as they re-edit true information with false and misleading information.

Hey Cav-

How do we know who Bathsheda Babbling is?

User page problem
Hi, Cav! Perhaps you can help me. I didn't get an answer from Seth Cooper and Nick O'Demus until now. Perhaps they don't know and you hopefully knows. What's wrong with Wiki? When I wanted to look at my "followed pages" with 45 articles in my user page with the "more"-button, there are only 15 to be seen. What has happened? I should say: I use MonoWiki. Harry granger 20:27, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

Image uploads and placements
Hey, I've seen some more photo uploads from user Leobrazil that don't conform to the upload policies, also, I tried politely asking them not to put photos in the middle of paragraphs, but they continue to do so, not only are they right in the middle of paragraphs, but in the middle of words. I've been trying to stay on top of his edits and correcting the picture placements. --<font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:05, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry
Hi, just noticed that I edited your parchment. I was looking at a few articles of the wiki at the same time and didn't notice I was editing a piece on your sub-page. It's a tiny edit, but still, I'm very sorry. --GlennVP - (talk) - (contributions) 22:24, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Image policy violations
It appears to me that Oiv8 is continuing to violate the image policy. Perhaps it would help if someone could leave Oiv8 a message in Portuguese. (Unfortunately, I can't help much with that.) In addition to potentially violating the image policy, I think there may be copyright violations here too. (I know that opinions vary on that from place to place, and the legal precedent is not very clear yet.) Anyway, as I'm not a frequent contributor here, I'm just leaving this note. Best wishes! -- CocoaZen 18:33, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

While my question does not relate to the contribution above, I did not feel I should create another image policy violation section, just to keep this page clean for the benefit of others and Cavalier One.... Recently I was blocked for image policy violations, which I do feel was my fault. I failed to read the policy and therefore did not know what to do when uploading the photos. However, I recall reading somewhere that if I should have any questions, I should ask an admin. Of course I had questions concerning this topic, but when I came here, to the Talk Page of the admin that blocked me, I could not post anything! I believe, unless the user has seriously violated various policies and such, and has wreaked havoc among the wiki, they should not be able to post on an admin's page. I mean, how am I to ask questions if I am blocked? I don't think that is a very good feature on here, being blocked to ask questions. But now that I know what to do when uploading photos, I have no more questions for the time being. I am not sure if you are able to do anything about this, or if there is any way to fix this, I just thought I should give some feedback. Thanks AlastorMoody 21:16, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

AlastorMoody here again.... So, I uploaded some more pictures to the wiki, thinking I was now providing a source for them. But it turns out I was only putting lisencing not source. I've thoroughly examined the image-upload popup thing where I put it in the description of the image, which side it goes on, and what size I wish it to be, and still I have only found lisencing! Cavalier One, do you think you could please tell me how to cite my sources, so I do not get blocked again? Thank you very much.... AlastorMoody 23:54, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

==Can I have a moment of your time, Edit== I couldn't help but notice that the Tamplets on each section were designed in a very unique way. I also noticed similar styles on other wikipedia (Such as the StarWars Wiki.) uhm, http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Dark_wizard_infobox. By any chance do you know if this is unique only to certain wiki? Or is there a way to configure the biography the same on other wikis as well? Because when I tried to use it, other than it appearing as does on the other wikis the bottom half is configured as a 'Square' shape. Do you get what I am trying to say? Like so:

/* Image uploads, redux reply */
You told me that an image has been deleted because I didn't fill the place where i got the image from, etc... Now I think there is something wrong because when I upload a picture, It doesn't show me the window in which I am supposed to fill in those information but merely shows me a window for me to type in the caption, choose the place for the image, and the size of the image. That's all.

Questions
Hey, couple of questions, did you get an email about a new Wikia Community Council meeting tonight? Also, eventually I'd like to become an admin, but I know that you guys only need a certain amount of active admin's at a time, and was wondering just how that worked? --<font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 22:03, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

So I just finished with the first Wikia Community Council meeting, and apparently, a small group of people have been chosen for it, it's to talk about changes, new things, problems, etc. We'll get to test new features as they come out. It's going to meet once a month, and will have a wikia page I'll be a part of to communicate between meetings. So, that being said, if there is anything you would like me to bring to a meeting, problems you've had, ideas, etc. Please let me know. They've started this as a trial, a way to communicate more with the members of wikia. --<font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 02:17, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Wizarding World Winner
Cav, Our Wizarding World giveaway winner is currently blogging about her Wizarding World adventures every day here on the wiki, and I'd like to showcase her exciting news and pictures by adding Recent Blogs to the main page just until the end of the week. Is that ok with you? Right now no one can easily find and enjoy her blogs on the wiki, so no one is commenting and she doesn't feel like a part of the larger community. Thanks-- <font color="Blue">Kacie (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:01, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Affiliates
Hi. I'm not really sure who manages the affiliates section of the Main Page, so I figured I'd come to you. I noticed that the Leaky Cauldron has an affiliates section as well, so I figured, why not have the Harry Potter Wiki and the Leaky Cauldron become affiliates? I figured it wasn't really my place to submit the wiki, though, I thought that was more an admin's job. So, what do you think? You can submit the wiki here if you think it's a good idea. Just a suggestion! -- Texthawm (Owl Me) 19:49, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia
Hi Cav, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Peter and I'm a member of the Wikia staff. With Harry Potter DH Part II coming out soon, we are interested in featuring it on the main page, perhaps posting the trailer, featuring a game of some sort as type of countdown to the film. Also, in general, we'd love to help you continue to grow the wiki and have some ideas to that affect. Among some of our internal suggestions are:


 * Giving the main page a new background. Just to change things up a bit and keep the look fresh.


 * Changing the Quote of the Week to a random quote generator that will automatically keep the quotes updated.


 * Categorising the pages with no category. Making more use of the 1,000 photos that are not being used.


 * Adding more content to the Daily Prophet News page (such as the recently released HP DH 2 online game).


 * Reaching out to more affiliates to get more links set up which will help with Google ranks and bring more traffic to the wiki.


 * While the site abounds with HP facts and knowledge, we think it could benefit from more interactive elements- like polls and areas where users can chat about their opinions on things- maybe creating a link page to promote more dialogue.

We hope you and the other admins will be receptive to some of our thoughts. Let me know.

Thanks,

You recently told me to put my name on Talk

Did you mean on your talk page?

RE: Ideas
Thanks very much for your quick response. I get what you are saying about the social networking stuff- we aren't looking to change the essence of the site, so will stay away from the games/polls/additional comment section stuff. I am setting out time in the next few work days to devote to HP, so I will go ahead and add to the Daily Profit News, investigate the random quote counter, and put up a few additional external forum links. I'm happy to help with the affiliate expansion if you want assistance reaching out, just let me know. And I can put up the Twitter feed as well, but would like to make sure the others are ok with that before I do it.

I have not heard back from anybody else yet, but will let you know when I do. Kacie will be getting in touch regarding the giveaway for HP 2 with more lead time. A few other thoughts on HP DH 2- how about a countdown, not neccessarily on the main page but on the HPDH Part 2 page. Also, what are your thoughts on changing some of the main slider images/links? This could be part of the background overhaul effort.

Let's stay in touch. Thanks again.

Bchwood 23:35, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cav,

So I added some info to the News section and reached out to some affiliates (I added links to those i reached out to). I'm being asked to really get a move on with the changes we are discussing, so am planning on devoting some time this coming week to address the following:

-New background. How about an image of Voldemort on the left column and Harry on the right, in battle poses.

-Slider. We should upate the main page slider, featuring a Deathly Hallows 2 image, perhaps replacing Dobby with a nostalgic look back at the first book, and perhaps featuring the Battle of Hogwarts?? Other ideas?

-Twitter live Feed. Should we create a new section header for this and facebook banner so the feed will show up against the light green background color?

Would like to get going on this stuff on monday, so try to get back to me over the weekend if you can.

Thanks again.

Bchwood 02:47, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cav,

So far everybody responding in the affirmative to my proposed alterations. I've posted a blog to get ideas for the main page slider images. As you will see on the main page I've added the twitter feed at the bottom and have begun some affiliate reach out. I wanted to show you the new background i am proposing to use. You can view it as http://pksandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity.

Thanks,

Bchwood 21:46, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Cav,

I like your suggestions for the slider. I put up a blog to ask the community's opinion and lots want to see Bellatrix featured, which I think would be cool. So how about DH2 movie, DH the book, Beatrix, and the Battle of Hogwarts for the 4 sliders?

Also, you mentioned you had some ideas for facebook forums. We could definitely benefit from more activity and connections on Facebook, if you have time to see that through this week would be great, otherwise i'm happy to do it if you can give me some more direction as to what you were thinking.

Thanks again.

Bchwood 02:36, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cav,

The proposed background image wasn't working blending in well with the main page, so I changed it as you can see. Let me know your thoughts on it. Also, with regards to making more use of Facebook, what if took some of the trivia questions posted in the blog and put them in a triva game on facebook- post a question, with a link to the page on the wiki that has the correct answer on it. Or something like that?

photo upload
Hey, so I just uploaded a screen shot photo, to help a user with their signature, I was having a hard time describing to them where to put it, I didn't use the image template, but I didn't have plans for the photo to stick around longer then it would take the user to get their signature correct. I tagged it for deletion. :-) <font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 01:15, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Countdown..
Just thinking.. I'm Admin on True Blood, and we have a countdown on our page - counting down the days til the season premiere. You should ask Grunny to make one for Deathly Hallows! That would be cool! http://trueblood.wikia.com/wiki/True_Blood_Wiki p.s I know I have no rights in this, but I'd love Hogwarts as the backdrop on the Wiki :):)Buffymybasset-- 03:40, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

complicated question
I've got multiple questions P.S. This is my signature
 * 1) If you have a picture that you need to upload but you don't upload it will it result in the uploader being blocked
 * 2) (Not question) The reason is because my signature on this wiki has a pic of lucius malfoy that isn't uploaded but it exists on the wiki, and I have like 2 other wikis where the Lucius pic (on this wiki) doesn't exist (Lucius Malfoy.jpg or something and mine is Lucius Malfoy.png). If I type Lucius Malfoy.jpg on this wiki then it won't come on the others
 * 3) Please answer

Sirius edits
Hey, can you take a look at the Sirius Black edits, I think that the edits I've reverted are legitimate, as the editor is not taking a neautral point of view and is interpreting certain events differently then they actually were, but I'd like a second opinion. --<font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 17:05, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

NPOV
Hey, was just thinking, should we have a NPOV warning template, because some of the stuff I've reverted tonight, it's not so much "fanon" as it's mostly "perspective" but it's not necessarily "vandalism" either, what do you think?--<font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 00:06, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Students
Hey, so User:Undesirable No.1 has gone and created an article for each house, Ravenclaw Students, Gryffindor Students, etc. And I was redirecting them to the House pages, but they essentially told me off for being "rude" for redirecting them even though I told him before that we already had articles for the Houses that listed every single student from those houses. He seems to think it'll be easier to have one with all that, and another one for just the list of students. As I am the newest admin, this is one of those "grey" areas I'm just not sure. To me it's unnecessary, but as it's not fanon and not vandalism, I wanted to check with you. --<font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 03:13, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

correction to snape image caption
I;m sorry to bother you but how would one go about fixing a caption on Severus Snape's profile. One of the images where snape is standing in Godric's Hallow, the person who submitted it put "Snape looking at the previous home of Bathilda Bagshot, in Godric's Hollow." but Snape is standing out side what's left of the Potters house. Not Bagshot's place.

A second opinion

We're also WAY behind on some of our featured content, especially the QOTW's and DYK's, so if you've got a couple of minutes, drop in and voice your opinions on any you like or dislike, and maybe we can get some of the backlog cleared out.

Fred and George Weasley Wands
Hey Cavalier One,

I would just like to tell you that the pictures you uploaded on for Fred and George Weasley's wands are wrong. The interview used as a source in the article described Fred's wand with the pinecone handle and George's looking like the broomstick. You can also see in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 that Fred is holding the pinecone handle wand.

Dear Cavalier One,

I have always wondered whether or not wizards and witches could augment or even enhance their physical attributes using magic, and I'll admit, I am a mild fan, though in spite of that, I understand Harry Potter quite well, and I know most, key word 'most', everything about it, and I was wondering do you happen to know if they could accomplish such a feat with magic...

Liverpool F.C. wiki
I noticed the blog news reel you lot have on the side of your main page on this site. It is something I have seen on other wiki's and would really like to implement it on my own. I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to help us make a similar one for our news page. While we are someone decent with wiki format I fear we are poor at the necessary coding it would take to create such as thing. News and rumours are an important part of football and rather than flood article space this seems like a perfect option. We just need someones help in doing it!

Blog policy enforcement
Hello, there. As perhaps you have noticed, there's been a serious lack at enforcing the blog policy lately. As a result, the "Recent changes" history is frequently clogged up with blog posts among the lines of "Have you ever dressed up as Harry Potter on Halloween?" or "What do you think about such-and-such in the upcoming film?". I have came to you, as you were the one who drafted the policy, to ask you what to do as I wasn't sure if I should start deleting blog posts like crazy, as some of them have grown considerably in just a few days. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 14:35, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
