Fanon
I'm thinking about suggesting all the House Games, Quidditch, etc. be moved to w:c:harrypotterfanon (which I didn't realize existed until Matoro told me today on IRC). Any comments or ideas about how to go about this? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Matoro briefly warned against Truth-or-Dare here we'll see if it continues. Perhaps if we just suggest they check out the fanon wiki instead of saying to take the game there? Hmm... -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Cedric Diggory
You keep reversing my edits to Cedric Diggory and state reasoning as "No quotes in middle of sections. No reason to break up perfectly good paragraphs. ", but many articles on this Wikia have quotes in the middle of sections, why is it that Cedric's should be any different? I understand that you worked hard on Cedric's article, but this Wikia is community based and we each contribute to the articles. You seem hostile to allowing change to this page.

Comunity Portal--Projects
Hey Cavalier One,

I realized that there are many projects listed in the Projects section of the Community Portal, but most of them are now practically over. No users are paricipating, and the porjects are either on hiatus, or no longer in action. I guess it is up to the project leaders to decided rather to take it down or not, but if the projects are over, I personally see know reason to keep them posted, as it may confuse new users, as it confused me when I first joined. I am a little afraid to edit the portal myself, not being an admin or anything, so I thought I'd talk to an admin. So, if it's all right, could you erase the projects from the portal? Thanks.

Active users
I wanted to clean up the Active Users list, but since there's no set policy, I thought I should run these criteria by an admin first. Please let me know what you think. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 11:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 3 months of inactivity for all users who meet the same standards as Voting Policy (autoconfirmed, 20+ article edits).
 * 1 month of inactivity for users who do not. The reasoning being that there are several users who have done little or nothing beyond adding their names to the list, and if they haven't done anything in a month, it's unlikely they'll make any more contributions if they didn't do enough to begin with to even reach voting status.

Editing problems
Hey Cavalier I have a question. I've already asked Matoro, Seth and Nick about this but they don't know what's goin on. As of probably a couple months ago now, I am no longer able to edit a certain section of an article anymore. I have to hit that "Edit this page" button and find the section I want to edit.

Selected Pictures + QotW Nominations
Hey Cav,

I just got back from my summer break, and have been looking around the site, getting the hang of things again. I realized that both the SP and QotW nomination pages are getting really long. There are about 20 nominations for the SP and about 30 for QotW. Could you sort those out? I also wanted to point out that a lot of the QotW nominations were made by non-registered users, or the nominator has not even cast a supporting vote. I think we need to put a policy in place so that we can do something about them, because a bunch of nominations that haven't even been voted on is just plain annoying.

I think the culprit is JamesVI. I don't have any strong proof, other than the fact that he keeps asking simmilar questions (that he clearly already knows the answears to) on my talk page. First - How did Petter Pettigrew know that Harry was going to be in Little Hangleton. Then - Why did Petter Pettigrew become a Death Eater. I've already asked him to stop, but it might be worth looking into again. Jayden Matthews 08:15, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Now that I've asked him to stop he has moved on to Seth. Jayden Matthews 08:54, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not so sure it's him. JamesVI has at least made several article edits. The user with those IP's has done nothing but start forums. They don't even comment on them, they just start the topic. It might be this guy, but since they only made one (registered) edit like that, I can hardly say it's a pattern.


 * Also, I was looking at the Editing Policy, and I noticed this on the talk page:


 * "Do we really need the forum section anymore? I don't think anyone could excessively edit on the Wizengamot."


 * No disrespect to Matoro183, but given the recent activity, I did find it amusing. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 13:22, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

 * Not much we can do really. Range blocking IPs may mean that some legitimate editors find themselves blocked. All I can do is keep on top of it, perhaps tighten the rules regarding forum editing policy and start handing out punitive blocks to those editors who disrupt the flow of the wiki. - Cavalier One Gryffindorcrest.jpg( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 12:37, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure if there is anything we can do about it. IP sharing has always been a problem in Wiki editing, because innocent anonymous editors are always liable to be blocked by mistake. One thing I would suggest doing, is having a quiet, private word with those who continue to respond to these forums when they have been told many times not to.

Search changed?
Hi. In the last months, I´ve always checked the contents of infoboxes by copying the headline of them into the search. ("{{Individual infobox" ) The results were all articles uing the infobox appearing on a list. When I tried it around two days ago, it didn´t work and the following massage appeared:

"No search results for that term."

 * Wikia released a new search system, which, among other things, displays results in the rendered text of the pages rather than the raw source with MediaWiki markup. Something you could do is simply look at what transcludes the template. You can read about the change in the search system here. Cheers, Grunny  {{sup|( Talk )}} 03:37, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

I am writing to say SORRY, SORRY, SORRY! Please can you release x247. I am sorry about the folly over Lucius Malfoy because I didn't understand why he was a dark wizard when he was a supremacist Ministry official I am ver, very sorry. Allow me to contribute more to this wikia, because I love HP. If you do not want me editing aanymore I understand, but I implore you to give me a chance. I have done some changes to Professor Umbridge's page and I shall to Cornelius Fidge and other resigned MoM officials because I do not think it is that fair. I love this wiki unlike wikipedia whoch is untrustworthy and biased. Please can you and other editors give me a chance to show what I can offer to the wizarding world!

Re: Warning
Cavalier, while I appreciate and respect this wiki's policies and guidelines, I really must oppose your latest decision on warning me in regards to my edit count. While I have been editing the forums over the past few weeks, I have realised that admins are willing to keep certain forums pertaining to Harry Potter, if they contain valuable pieces of information that could be used for article edits in future. On the whole, I would say that most, if not all my participation in forum pages has yielded such information. In comparison to the more technical comments I have left, there are very few of which that have "devolved" to simple discussion.

What I am trying to say is that I really do like providing detailed analyses in forum questions that regard Harry Potter itself, and I have always done my best to provide useful information that really has potential for article use. Now I have said that I will revert to my usual (what I like to think as) informative writing style and refrain from answering trivial questions and having conversations. I have made several changes to articles since I started at this wiki so it is not as though I merely answer questions in forums. Apparently I have made more numbers of forum edits than I have article edits, which is why I have been warned. To what end? Why exactly is editing forums (at least the way I do) such a crime? I'm still contributing my knowledge to help the wiki, am I not? Surely, the quality of edits is worth more than the quantity.--Yin&amp;Yang 13:58, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think we should consider bringing back the Leaky Cauldron forum for discussions that are relevant to article content but not to the wiki as a whole. Casual topics like "Should Harry Have Ended Up With Luna?" and "Who is Cooler: Harry or Draco?" don't serve any purpose on this wiki, but topics like "Do we know Umbridge's House?" and "How many students are there at Hogwarts?" can be useful, in that they allow us to go over the evidence and then edit the applicable article(s) accordingly. <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!) 05:34, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Plz
Please go to http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/User:84.70.220.82

Re:Leaky Cauldron forum
I think that "How many students at Hogwarts?"-type threads serve to highlight areas in which our article coverage is lacking, because if someone is motivated to ask a question in the forum, it means they didn't find the answer in one of our articles. When the Leaky Cauldron forum was closed, threads of this type — as well as casual threads that serve no purpose — spilled over into the Wizengamot forum, so I thought that reopening the Leaky Cauldron might resolve the issue, at least in part. I figured that shifting content-related threads to a separate forum would make it easier to keep track of threads related directly to the wiki.

The suggestion to transfer discussions to article talk pages is a good one, but one issue that comes to mind is that posts to article talk pages tend to get lost on the list of recent changes, and thus posting to the forum is generally a good way to ensure that a topic gets noticed.

Protect pages
Could you please give Rubeus Hagrid and Grawp semiprotected status, at least for a little while? There's an unregistered IP that keeps adding inaccurate categories to both pages. It started with adding Only children to Hagrid's article. When it was removed, they re-added it. When it was pointed out that he has a half-brother, instead of stopping, they started adding the category to Grawp's article too. They've repeatedly done this no matter how many times it's been reverted, and they keep shifting IP addresses after one or two edits. So far they've used 95.133.246.72, 95.133.79.20, 95.133.135.0, and 95.133.36.43. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 22:59, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Proposal for New Policy (Yin&amp;Yang)
Hi Cavalier. Okay, this is a lot longer than I thought it would be but this discussion is so complex I couldn't write it any other way. Also, I have no idea how this will be displayed so I assumed that it would be done so as a discussion. I know you mentioned a table, but maybe said table could have a link to this page so that the voters can read the argument in full. So could you present everything under and including Canon Policy Proposal on the forum? This has taken up a lot of your talk page so feel free to delete it once it is on the forum. Can you assure me that unregistered users can vote on this?

Canon Policy Proposal:

The following is the basis supporting the ‘for’ side of the argument which proposes to remove the second and third tier from the Canon Policy as a means of following the statements of J.K. Rowling who views the books/her own creative story/her word-of-mouth information and the films/videogames as “separate entities”. This adheres to part of the policy which essentially states that Rowling’s word is law. The overlap between the “separate” storylines in this wiki is very great, often blurring the boundaries between what should be separate (according to Rowling) and what is not. If the aforementioned tiers are removed, this would NOT mean that all the references, sources, articles, in-text quotes or images pertaining to the films and videogames found within the wiki would be deleted, but rather, no longer included under the title of in-universe.

There are two possible repercussions to this; and a choice would need to be made between Situation [a] and Situation [b]. The former ([a]) would mean that any language found within text that is written from the perspective of in-universe would require editing to conform to the altered policy. For example, the line: Bellatrix was present during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1996, a statement worked from the current policy, would be changed to: In the film, Bellatrix was present during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1996. Also included under Situation [a], would be that all article pages devoted entirely to a character, location or object existing only in the films or videogames would be given a tag identical to those present given to the current out-of-universe pages e.g. those relating to the actors of the real world.

Situation [b] would still include the use of tags on pages wholly dedicated to films or videogames, yet would differ greatly and admittedly require fewer alterations to in-text language, than if Situation [a] was selected. If Situation [b] is chosen, then there would be a rule enforced to ensure that all relevant articles have ‘Behind the Scenes’ sections in which it is clearly pointed out that a certain event only occurs in a film or book. Since most, if not all pages, already do that, there would be very little effort required to conform to the change in policy.

Supporting Evidence for Reason of Change: The current policy regarding ‘canonical’ information, while well thought out, fails to cover all the appropriate aspects of what should be included as an in-universe topic. In other words, there is a loophole in which contradicting versions of the Harry Potter storyline crosses over inconsistently. Here is an example of such a case: Sirius Black's death: The book (Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix) does not describe the colour of the fatal jet of light that strikes Sirius's chest. This is most unlike the film adaptation which clearly indicates Bellatrix Lestrange murdering Sirius with the Killing Curse. The article, Sirius Black, states that Sirius was killed by an unknown spell due to the book’s omission of the spell’s description. According to the current policy however, an omission from the book allows the film priority meaning that it was the Avada Kedavra that indeed killed Sirius. This is where the consistency halts, however. If it is accepted that the Killing Curse destroyed Sirius, and the Killing Curse itself, as laid out by the books, causes instant death then that does not explain why Sirius took a slightly extended period of time for him to die (again as described in the book). In conclusion, only a policy that firmly stands by Rowling and her books would be consistent. --Yin&amp;Yang November, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't have any problems with that article of Sirius, stating the details on how he was killed. Because that bit info. showing the importance of the Veil. (imo)

Note: Sirius was NOT killed by an unknown spell. The article says He was struck with an unnamed curse and pushed through a veil in the Death Chamber, to his death. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="darkblue">ÈnŔîčö DC (<font face="Times" color="brown">Send me an Owl! ) 19:33, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Voting Rules
Okay Cavalier, the vote is underway. That I am happy about, the rules set up around the voting... Not so much. I understand why a new user is not allowed to vote, but it is a little unfair that there are still users out there who have no idea that this debate is going on. The only people to have voted so far are the people directly involved in the debate and we all know that I am quite alone in that group. I ask you to give me some time to do a little "advertising" to other users so that know what is going on and tell them why they should bother reading through the lengthy discussion we have been performing over the past few days. If there is a way of spreading the message a little further, please let me know before you cut the one week deadline short. This has to be as fair as possible, no matter how different our views.--Yin&amp;Yang 14:18, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

I would appreciate that. Thankyou. Also, I was unaware of this so-called "vote-farming" being against the rules too but I had absolutely no intent of literally making ads to post, anyway. I was, as you said, planning on posting a few neutral comments on a some (not every) talk pages. Can I just say that your commanding tone is a little unnecessary? I was not trying to defy anyone, I was just letting you know what I was planning to do.--Yin&amp;Yang 14:45, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Warning
I won't continue leaving messages on peoples' pages, but I refuse to label doing so as "harrassment". Like I said to You-Know-Who, I was not intending to get his vote, just tell him that he had voted twice and presented false information about my side of the argument. That is all.--Yin&amp;Yang 08:36, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Monaco
Hi, Cav. Could you please delete "User:Jayden Matthews/monaco.css"? It was a test wich I've now moved to a diffrent site. Thanks. Jayden Matthews 14:40, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I definately wasn't planning on establishing a competing wiki. I can promise you that. The hptest wiki is just a playground where I can work on a proposal for this wiki's skin. I've been thinking about it for a while, but I didn't want to start a discussion about it until I actually had something to propose to the community. Thanks again. Jayden Matthews 14:52, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Cav. Yeah, the films were my inspiration. Originally I was trying a sort of "Mauraders Map" theme, simmilar to the Elder Scrolls Wiki. But then I thought - It's not really very original, and it looked quite plain. So I decided to try to the film route. That blue/green theme has been used to represent the films since OOTP, so it seemed appropriate. I have spoken to a few others. Seth has suggested a few things I can do to clean it up a bit so I'm doing that at the moment. I had already thought about the logo, and I think it's close to perfection. Basically it's the same thing we have now except the crystal ball is whole and dead center. It's also transparent, which means the rock and the waves are visable in the ball. I'm also working on 3-D versions of the FA DYK headers etc. Anyay, thanks for the advice, I'll try to implement your suggestions. Jayden Matthews 11:51, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Proposal
Hi, Cav. I think my proposal is pretty much ready. There still seems to be some coding issues, as the color occasionally dissapears from the toolbox area, but I don't know how to fix that. I've tried to incorporate everyone's suggestions. I removed the image from the toolbar as Starstuff recommended. And I took Seth's advice and toned down the blue, and added more black, white and gray. The only thing I've not been able to do is the logo I wanted, because my skills at image manipulation are not sufficent (and I'm using crappy Gimp2). The only thing I can think of is to include an extra option in the voting area, whereby the community can choose to keep the current logo if they wish. Well, that's pretty much it. Do I have your approval? Jayden Matthews 09:59, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks. It's just that, this is a really tight community, one that's been very kind to me. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes. As for the sidebar, sorry, I forgot all about it. I wasn't suggesting that we reorganize it at any rate. As for the logo, I've tried recoloring it. The only problem is when you do that, everything in it gets recolored. Voldemort's face, the lettering, the highlights on the orb everything, and it really doesn't look good. Like I said, I don't have the skills to do a more proffesional job of it. I think it would be better to let the community decde between keeping the current skin, adopting the new skin with the new logo or adopting the new skin with the old logo. It amounts to the same thing at the end oft the day. Jayden Matthews 10:51, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

OK. the ball is rolling. Jayden Matthews 11:34, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Protect from Recreation list
Recently I've been trying to clean out the Wanted pages, and I came across this (Harry Potter Wiki:Protected ). The last edit to to it was two years ago, and I was wondering if it should be updated, or if it's even necessary to keep it at all. What do you think? At the very least, I'd like to remove the pipe links so they don't show up on the wanted pages, if that's alright. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 08:59, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

 * I've just about finished with the Wanted pages, but there are a few left in some Users' talk pages and archives. I'll be asking for permission from each User first, and I'd like to check yours too. If it's simply a misdirected link, I'll fix it, and if it's a deleted article/file/template, I'll either remove the brackets or put "nowiki" around it so it isn't active. If you'd like, when I'm finished I can leave you a full account of any changes I made.


 * This should knock the final list down to around 250 (from 950 at the start). Those that are left are mostly linked to Wiki templates, and I'm not going to mess with those. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 17:21, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Done. Here's the list of changes:
 * Current talk page - 2 deleted templates, 1 deleted User sub-page
 * Archive 1 - 2 User links, 2 deleted pics, 2 fixed HPW links, 3 "nowiki"'s to deleted rough-draft policy pages
 * Archive 2 - 1 deleted article
 * Archive 3 - 4 User links, 2 sig templates, 1 deleted pic, 1 "nowiki"'s to deleted rough-draft policy pages, 1 nonexistant "Special" page
 * Archive 4 - 1 User link, 2 deleted articles, 5 "nowiki"'s to deleted rough-draft policy pages, 1 nonexistant Project page
 * There are also 4 red links in the Workpad page, 6 in the F.A. Prefects page, and 2 in the Titleicons page, but I've left those alone. Also, the Temp Storage of the F.A. archives have already been moved to the F.A. Nominations History for each article, although I was unable to find the histories of the first 7 articles.
 * <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 11:26, December 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. If you don't mind, I'd like your opinion on one more thing. A lot of the remaining red links are found on a few template talk pages, rather than the templates themselves. Specifically, these three: Template talk:-, Template talk:Tlx, & Template talk:See also.


 * Curiously, it looks as though almost all of the content on those talk pages came from somewhere else, and was copied and pasted here by User:Forerunner. He posted virtually all of the content, and none of the other Users in those discussions are on this Wiki. He seems to have set up several of the templates, and there are a couple of comments on his talk page from John Reaves and Chosen One where they questioned the need for some of them.


 * What I'm wondering is, should these talk pages just be left alone, or are they even necessary? Or, is there some way to archive the content that would nullify the links without messing up the formatting of the page?

Hi Cavalier. Since I'm in contact with you at the moment, I thought I'd just ask you a question to do with my signiture.

I agreed, but for some reason, the code she told me to type in my "Signiture" box didn't work and after trying several variations of the code (with slight tweaks here and there), I pretty much gave it up as a bad job.

The Triwizard Tournament is having "Location infobox" instead of an infobox pertaining to an "Event".

I know that but it is a fictional character. You are getting wound up. I feel that you and Seth are targeting me because I have seen people who have written swearwords and all kinds on the page. You're not being very fair and think you need to review your policies. This wiki must be run like a kakistocracy. 'Family audience' needs to know that the Internet is not safe. People dont research the users they research the information. Think about it!

Why? Also isn't it against policy to be threatening, blackmailing and patronizing. There are others who swear such as the Slytherin user who pretended she is a vampire who used the f word in her user page. Jayden Matthews used quite a disturbing sexual boggart.

User Miki1234
User Miki1234 changed pictures without discussuion, this is annoying me. The pictures are on their best, but he changed them for no reason. What do you want to do with this? For example: Harry Potter's page, great picture, but changed without discussion.--Station7 18:18, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Got a question.
I dont really know if you are any good at Templates/Wikicode, but I was wondering if you knew a way to view the Special:Editcount as raw. You see, Im trying to make a edit goal template/userbox, and Im using trying to make the code work, but it wont if the Editcount has a ',' in the number. Here:

Template Page:

The part I am having trouble with is:

Then you would put:

Because the Editcount page returns the count as a number with a, like 1,234 the #expr wont accept it. I have no clue how to make it raw without the ,. I hope you do, or someone does. I dont know if you can help, but I would be ever so greatful if you did. 23:54, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Voting
Ratneer has called a vote on the Past/Present tense issue. As an admin, could you make it official? Also, do you feel normal Voting Policy should apply, or as this would be a fairly major issue, should there be tighter restrictions, like when the voting on Canon Policy was held? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 09:22, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Why does this exist? The article is just false speculation. Please either delete the article or merge it with sirius black. I have placed the templete several times but it keeps getting removed. 98.117.158.220 06:21, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Sirius black was not killed by Bellatrix's curse. The curse simply knocked him into the veil of death
 * 2) Sirius and Bellatrix were not killed by the same person. Deathly hallows simply states that the scene was similar, with Bellatrix laughing when she died.

for( var k = 0; k < infoboxes.length; k++ ) { var infobox = infoboxes[k];

var rows = infobox.getElementsByTagName('tr'); var changeColor = false;

for( var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++ ) { if(rows[i].className.indexOf('infoboxstopalt') != -1) break;

var ths = rows[i].getElementsByTagName('th');

Re:Grunny
Hey Cav,

Grunny is a great member of this community and I would fully support a motion to grant him admin rights permanently. Unfortunately, I've had to face a lot of unexpected and extremely stressful issues in real life recently (many of which remain to be resolved), and thus I haven't had as much time to contribute. Whether I am able to dedicate as much time to this site as I have done in the past really depends on how these issues work out. So bringing Grunny onboard as an admin will help to offset my absence.

Salazar Slytherin main pic vote
A vote was opened on the Salazar Slytherin talk page over the pic used for the infobox.

Book and Movie Pages
Hey, I think we need a policy on how to do the pages for the books. Specifically any plot synopsis, because some pages such as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone have chapter by chapter break downs, and others such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban just have a large block. One, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has kind of a combination. I think we should do the same with the movies' pages as well. Tell me what you think.


 * That is what I asked Seth Cooper. How about a forum titled Policy Guidelines for Formatting OOU Articles? to figure this out? --Hcoknhoj 08:15, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll try to come up with a good looking proposal, and then I'll start the discussion. --Hcoknhoj 08:27, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Proposal is up. --Hcoknhoj 09:01, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Question
What's the protocol for checking into possible sock-puppet use? I was checking a couple of user's contributions lists to see if they met Voting policy, and I noticed some similarities:


 * 1) Mouldywart registered on May 4, 2009, and made several edits on that day. Then they went completely inactive for just over 3 months.
 * 2) On August 15, 2009, Robbyfenwick registered, and made several edits on that day, two of which were to vote on the talk pages of the Tom Riddle and Cedric Diggory articles, despite it being the day of their registration. The votes were struck for not being autoconfirmed. That same day, about 11 hours later, Mouldywart reactivated and made 4 edits, one of which was to vote on the Cedric Diggory issue, for the same option as Robbyfenwick did.
 * 3) August 18th, Robbyfenwick returned and made 3 edits, one of which was to remove the strike on their Cedric Diggory vote.
 * 4) Both accounts went completely inactive for just over 5 months.
 * 5) January 19th, 2010, Mouldywart reactivates and makes 2 edits, one to vote on the Salazar Slytherin talk page.
 * 6) January 24th, 2010, Robbyfenwick reactivates and makes 5 edits, one to vote on the Salazar Slytherin talk page for the same option as Mouldywart did.
 * 7) January 30th, both Robbyfenwick and Mouldywart make 4 and 2 edits respectively, one of each of which is to vote on the Infobox Guidelines policy proposal, again for the same option, and within 7 minutes of each other.
 * 8) Of Mouldywart's 8 total edits since they registered on May 4, 2009, 3 of them have been to vote on the exact same issues and for the exact same options as Robbyfenwick did.
 * 9) Icing on the cake: both signature templates use almost the exact same format.

I'll admit it's possible these may be two guys who simply know each other and are coordinating, but this seems way too much to simply be coincidence. I've heard Wikia has ways of checking for these things, like verifying IP's, and I want to make sure no one's unfairly undermining other users' votes.

<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 10:24, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just being paranoid, but these sparse periods of activity coinciding betwen extended periods of inactivity just seems a bit suspicious to me, and even the possibility of someone abusing the privilege and unethically giving their own say greater weight than anyone else's gets me steamed. I'll wait for what Wikia has to say on it, and I'll be fine with it if they say it's fair.


 * One other question though. I noticed that Hellabore is the only User listed on the Multiple Accounts policy page, but I know of at least 3 others who have openly disclosed a second account (2 of them redirect from the old account to the new one). Shall I add them there?


 * <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 11:03, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. I'm not sure if I used the best description in the comments though. Also, I was thinking Grunny deserves a Prefect Badge for his work on fixing templates and reverting vandalism. Shall I do it, or would you like to, since you know him better? I already gave him the Order of Merlin Third Class not too long ago. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 11:36, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Have you heard back from Wikia about the Sock Puppet possibility? Also Famini71 asked me if she and her husband having separate accounts but using the same computer regularly qualifies as multiple accounts. Since she admits it's the same I.P. for both, my inclination would be to say yes, but I'm not sure what Wikia's official stance in that particular circumstance is. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 11:48, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
