User talk:Starstuff

Note to admins
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.

New Community Council
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. --BachLynn (Accio! ) 02:20, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Starstuff,

I'm on the wikia staff and wanted to reach out. With Deathly Hallows 2 approaching, we'd like to help engage users on the wiki. Among some of our internal thoughts for doing this are: We hope you and the other admins (who I am also contacting) will be receptive to some of this. Let me know your thoughts...
 * 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 all pages. Using and/or deleting some 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.
 * Creating a Deathly Hallows 2 Reviewer page and perhaps another giveaway contest.
 * Finally, we'd love you and the other admis to start thinking of ways to keep the wiki active post final film. We can all hopefully brainstorm on this in the near future.

Thanks,

Voting issues
Voting is in progress for new infobox pics for Gellert Grindelwald and Fleur Delacour. There's only a couple days left before they both close, so be sure to weigh in for your favorite.

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.

Thanks. - Nick O'Demus 09:05, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

 THE ONE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED 

House Points Game
Hi Starstuff, Nick O'Demus said that you run the House Points game. When will it re-start? Thanks, Head.Boy.Hog (Talk To Me)  12:19, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Ignotus Peverell's grave
Hello there, Starstuff! Currently, the only reference we have for Ignotus Peverell's birth and death dates is "Harry Potter Film Wizardry", but it would be great if we had a picture to prove it. Can you upload an image? Thanks. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 13:16, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hello
Hello Starstuff

I am D.Richards and a new member at this great wiki of Harry Potter.I truly like the shows and its books and have joined this site.I'm just asking 1 question.Is it possible for me to edit in some pages? Like to add in more pictures? Thank you and I would be most appreciated if you sent a reply.

Lavender
i am a first time visitor of harry potter wiki, and noticed you edited a picture of lavender brown that is wrong, showing an african american girl rather than the real girl that plays the character. please fix it. :]

RE: House Points Game
That could work. One thing that's been tough to keep up with recently is all the new pictures that some users keep adding to articles related to DH: Part 2. In some cases, the articles are getting extremely cluttered because of it. I even added a line to the Layout Guide that "images should be placed before or after paragraphs or sections of text, not right in the middle of them", because it's been happening so often (even right in the middle of words, and it's still happening all too often). I think there definitely needs to be some more focus on cleaning up and improving existing articles.

I've also tried to bring back the discussion on the Forum:Merging Articles on Unidentified Characters. has expressed some interest in making it work. I'm hoping to have more free time in July to devote some attention to this myself. Between work and looking for a new car, I haven't had as much time for editing recently.

I also set up a Wizard's Chess game at the Hogwarts Roleplay Wiki, but no one's used it yet. : (

Starstuff,

The Ravenclaw Prefect is offline. Can you answer my questions until he comes online?
