Greyback image
Because, as far as I understand it, the image in question is not a promotional headshot, but a make-up test shot. Therefore it is out of universe, and should not be the main infobox image, as the make-up in question may not reflect the actual make-up of the character in the film. I have no arguments about using it in the article in a behind the scenes section, however. If it is a promotional headshot, however, and it is proved to be the final make-up look of the character, then its position as an infobox image is valid. Hope that answers your question. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 16:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Might be a good idea to ask - I took a quick buzz around a few fan sites but might have missed it. It looks genuine enough, which is the reason it hasn't been deleted yet, and the same user uploaded a new body shot of Narcissa Malfoy as well. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 16:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Infobox improvements
Actually I did notice your thread, and I have been thinking about how to respond. I think you are right in that the infoboxes could be set up a little better, and the appearance of it needs to be tweaked. I don't, however, think we need to cut back on the amount of infoboxes we have. Your point makes sense about Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, but we really need separate house and character infoboxes.-- 17:13, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The shades of gray would be a big improvement if we could somehow implement it. I've been looking at the source code, and most of the styling is housed in either separate templates or Common.css, which makes it difficult copy over; you have to manually check each template used for the needed code. I'm gonna see how much of it I can sort out.-- 17:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I have it...though the rb template isn't working, so the corners on the bottom aren't round. See here for a test.-- 18:31, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. I think that that would be more of a "nickname" than an alias.-- 18:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Template
That's a good idea. We often "borrow" a lot of things from Wookieepedia. But, the thing is, Bellatrix raiding the Burrow is not considered canon. A whole raid definately would have been mentioned in the book, and therefore never happened. The books take precedence over the movies. The template would work, or a mention in the "behind the scenes" section. I personally think that those templates detract from the article visually, but either way works. 14:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! 15:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The way of the appearances does look pretty cool. You might want to start a thread about it at the Wizengamot forum. 16:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Images
Nice job on the images! Just a word of caution, however. Sometimes changing the main infobox image without consultation results in annoying some users. Hopefully, since your images are good-quality improvements, there will be no grumbling about them. Keep up the good work. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 15:59, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Deletion request
All done. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 14:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Some nice looking images. Just makes me more annoyed they pushed back the release date >( - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 14:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

RE: What's best
Usually, I would go with the promo shot over the movie still, even if its a full body one. What are the chances of simply extracting a head shot from the body shot that would be good enough to be used as a main image? - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 11:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Judging by that image, I would keep the main infobox image as it is. I like the image, and it would work as a main image, but there appears to be too much artifact distortion around the face for one thing. As an image in the article, it would be fine. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 11:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

House points
This is just a message to let you know that the House Points Game is now up and running at Harry Potter Wiki:House points. As your Prefect, I'd like to invite you to visit the Slytherin Dungeon, where I'll try to organize something our team can work on soon. Otherwise, keep up the good solo work, and here's hoping we win the House Cup. :) &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 09:26, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:Fenrir Greyback
I tend to agree with you that werewolf isn't really a blood status; werewolves are people who have the infection of lycanthropy, whereas blood status is a reflection of ancestry. Of course, if we consider werewolves to be people who are simply ill, then do they really qualify as a separate species? The HP Lexicon refers to what they have as a "condition", but they seem to define them as both creatures and humans:


 * ''"The werewolf is a most unusual creature in that it doesn't technically exist except for a brief period of time around the full moon. At any other time, a werewolf is a completely normal human. However, the term werewolf is used for both the wolf-like creature and the normal human. Remus Lupin is a werewolf by definition even if he isn't in the actual form of the wolf."

So I'm not entirely sure how to categorize them, though species seems more appropriate than blood status. What do you think? O r e a d <font face="Times" color=#800080>(talk) 20:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree; the way you suggested seems to be the most accurate. The Lexicon is just confusing. DarkJedi613 also agreed that it is not a blood status. Out of curiosity, do we know if Greyback was turned into a werewolf or if he was born as one? I'm not sure if the latter is even possible, but Remus's fear that he would pass on lycanthropy to Teddy seems to indicate that it is. <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000A0>O <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000FF>r <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000A0>e <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000FF>a <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000A0>d <font face="Times" color=#800080>(talk) 21:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Prefect
Cubs Fan 2007 was originally a Hufflepuff Prefect but changed to Gryffindor because no other people had signed up for that House. It really doesn't seem fair to ask someone to act as leader of Hufflepuff if they are also going to be the House's only member.

I've been having trouble balanciing the responsibility of overseeing the House Points Game with the responsibility of being Slytherin's only active Prefect. I could use a helping hand from a second Slytherin Prefect. Freakatone was made the second Slytherin Prefect last November, but he hasn't been active since this January, and I've just been a bit reluctant to remove him from his position and find someone to take over.

Are you interested in being a Slytherin Prefect? If not, you can still be a Hufflepuff Prefect. <font color="Green">&#x2605; <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!) 00:03, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:Slytherin Dungeon
When I put together the Slytherin Dungeon, my main concern was functionality, so I admit I didn't give much consideration to its appearance. I'm not sure how we could improve it in that regard, though, beyond adding more pictures and re-arranging the layout. But I did have an idea for something silly: any time either of us gave points to Gryffindor, "Professor Snape" (that is, one of us) would hand out a "detention," which would just be a funny line written in a special "Detention log" section on the Slytherin Dungeon page. We would need to run this idea by Cubs Fan and Hellabore before going forward with it to make sure they don't have any concerns. <font color="Green">&#x2605; <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!) 09:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Quidditch pitch
I saw your comment about this article on the featured article nominations page and I really do see your point. Could you help expand it to be one of the best. It would be a very big help. Cheers! --- Madam Hooch 250px-Hogwarts_coa.jpg( Which Broomstick )

Like you suggested could you write a paragraph about each stadium in Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup. An I agree the intro could use some expanding, could you help with that too? It would be a big help. Cheers! --- Madam Hooch 250px-Hogwarts_coa.jpg( Which Broomstick )

I have made some pretty huge edits and I have done all you and Starstuff suggested to do. Could you please tell me if it is now ready to be featured? If it is, could you change your vote to support it. Cheers! -- Hellabore

Also thanks for suggesting those ideas, it has made the article to featured article status. --- Hellabore

 * I'm currently unsure whether I'll be able to join the team. Basically, Hellabore would like me to be one of the referees, but Matoro has advised that referees should not become members of their House teams in order to ensure that the decisions they make as referees are impartial. I suggested an alternative system because I was concerned about having to stay on the sidelines in the Quidditch competition due to the lack of regularly active members in Slytherin. But, regardless of whether or not I join the team, I think either you or Smonocco should be the captain, as I've got too many irons in the fire to do the job effectively. We should perhaps wait until the referee issue has been resolved until we send out invitation messages to Slytherin users. Hellabore has it set up so that each position is given specific jobs to perform, but, personally, I'd rather it be more open-ended, so that people don't feel obligated to refrain from chipping in somewhere just because it's not on their set to-do list.

Salazar Slytherin Picture
Please don't take this the wrong way, but please, on behalf of all who have been trying to get the point across to you, do not change the picture for Salazar Slytherin again, as it needs to match the other Founders' pictures and the one up now is one actually released by Rowling. Regardless of whether the picture you prefer was in film or not (it never actually made it into the final cut of the film), most universally agree the picture released from the Wizard Calendar by Rowling is the canonical one and is part of a set of pictures she released herself. Had the picture you posted actually featured in the film, it'd be a different story. Rowling's picture is the canonical one, and since we never actually see Slytherin or any of the Founders in person in the films, the canonical source for a photograph of them is Rowling herself. So please refrain from the edit war over the picture, as it is getting to be a bit ridiculous to have so many users pretty much in agreement that the picture you support, while noteworthy and indeed worthy of being featured in the article, is not appropriate for the main picture in the infobox. Hero of Time 87 15:54, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Pictures from JKR's website are NOT out of universe. Please re-read the canon policy. In terms of infobox pictures, we probably need an actual policy about it. Would you like to start a discussion in the Forum about which images you think should be used? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 18:54, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Please provide a link to the image in question. Regardless, I doubt it matters that much, and the background can be removed. If its just a pattern, etc. then it really doesn't matter. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 18:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
