RE:
Hello! The page for the Prefect's Badge award can be accessed here. It is basically awarded at any user's discretion for any noteworthy service to the Wiki -- so keep up the good work and someone might attribute it to you! --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 15:19, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Hi! The proper forum to apply to adminship is here. Bear in mind, though, that administrators are expected to be experienced members of the community, since their duties include performing essential housekeeping chores and swiftly helping and giving advice to users in need. I would recommend you spend some more time on the wiki (you've been here for only 18 days!) to get properly acquainted with out conventions, policies, and the general workings of the wiki, and, last but not least, to make yourself noticed by the rest of the community.

That said, I appreciate your effort at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter page. As to what else could be added -- well, anything provided you stay on topic! The point of specialised wikis like this one is to be able to be as exhaustive as we'd like about our subjects! Cheers. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 17:16, October 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * Signatures (and wiki-text in general) can be edited via wiki markup (which is a kind of simplified HTML language). You can change your current signature by hovering your mouse over your avatar on the top Wikia bar (right at the top of this screen; upper right corner) and selecting "My preferences" (what you want is the "Custom signature" field, under the "Signature" header). As for the mark-up itself, while I would find it difficult to explain it to you (my knowledge of it is purely intuitive, bits and bobs I picked up over time), I've found a pretty decent tutorial here.


 * You can learn more about Rollbacks here.


 * I welcome your eagerness, and do not mind the slightest becoming your correspondent (depending on my availability, of course!) ;) --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:12, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Prefect badge
There's no single, direct requirement for a prefect badge. Just keep up the good work and you should get one soon enough. -- Cubs Fan (Talk to me)  20:43, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Full stops
You are actually in the right. The Wikipedia Manual of Style ("Some criteria for a good caption - Formatting and punctuation") suggests that: "Most captions are not complete sentences, but merely sentence fragments, which should not end with a period. If any complete sentence occurs in a caption, then all sentences, and any sentence fragments, in that caption should end with a period.". --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:34, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Your request for rollback rights
Hi, don't understand me wrong, please, but do you really believe it helps when you edit your request day per day? I could imagine that this could annoy the admins here. No offense!  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  18:55, November 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * No problem. I thought I should tell you. It's better waiting a few days before reacting. :-)  Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 19:11, November 4, 2015 (UTC)

RE:User:ArrestoMomentum forgot to make a new section
Hello! Due to the lack of response, I've opened a formal vote at Harry Potter Wiki:Requests for permissions. Voting ends a week from now (sooner if we reach a consensus), so that's that. The best of lucks! -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 21:57, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Just a quick reminder that the "right" parameter from image syntax (e.g. here) is not a typo. While it's redundant, it's a pointless effort to try and remove them from every image in almost every article -- it's not as if it's a huge and needed syntax simplification (and some users like to use it to keep track of where images are so that they can alternate the positions of the images that follow, especially on longer pages). Basically it's ok to add new images and omit that parameter, but I think there's more productive ways of contributing to our wiki than the herculean task of erasing something as widespread as that and that does no harm. Thanks! -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 18:54, December 14, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Hi! I don't think it's that strictly necessary to have that sentence in all student articles written in the exact same way, as long as it's alright (that said I don't like how the wording "such-and-such was a student who attended Hogwarts" sounds; the relative clause kind of makes it seem that the subject was a student who, incidentally, attended Hogwarts, when in actuality, he was a student due to have attended Hogwarts -- this is, however, a minor quibble from me; it's worth what it's worth.) -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 19:30, December 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Basically, I am saying that while I would advise against it, I'm leaving final judgement with you. -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 02:50, December 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * You don't have to change them back if you don't want to, it's not as if it does any damage to the articles! ;) -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 02:57, December 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * There's no set time you must wait before you reapply, just do it when you think you're ready. As for your OM... -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 15:15, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Thanks. To put the award in your userpage, just go to edit mode and copy the code, then paste it there.

As for your question, I placed a notice on Community-corner, which automatically notifies all users (a box on the lower-right corner, like the "You've got an owl" one). -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 19:16, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

Katherine redirection
Hi, do you know how to edit the redirection in Isobel MacDougal. Someone made an error and put Katherine MacDougal see Katherine (disambiguation) and redirected it to Isobel MacDougal, but the name was Katrina MacDougal see Katrina (disambiguation). How do you change the redirection from Katherine MacDougal to Katerina MacDougal so that I can delete Katherine MacDougal from the disambiguation. (Vaudree (talk) 04:31, December 21, 2015 (UTC))

RE:
I'd advise against it. At best you'll end up having the same amount of votes, at worst, it might be viewed as gaming the system by exhaustion. Just give it time. -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 18:44, December 21, 2015 (UTC)
