RE Questions
Yes, the Native American students can be added to the Ilvermorny list, even if they are unnamed or unidentified. If a user account is blocked, any additional accounts are considered sock-puppets and will be blocked as well if used to circumvent the block. See HPW:SOCK policy.

 * As noted on HPW:SOCK policy, "If any of a user's accounts are to be blocked, then all accounts associated with that user will also be blocked." It doesn't matter when the accounts were made, the intent is to block the user because of their actions, regardless of what account(s) they might be using. --Ironyak1 (talk) 11:46, June 26, 2017 (UTC)


 * Before a page is deleted it needs to be reviewed by an admin - blanking the content makes this more difficult for them to do.


 * Yes, Draco and Delphini are both House of Black descendants, but as they do not bear the Black name they are technically not in the House of Black (like the Weaselys, or Albus Potter). Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 18:52, July 7, 2017 (UTC)


 * The  mention is already in Appearances, but in the History section of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, something could be said about how The New York Ghost reports on their House points. It would also make sense to have MACUSA listed in the infobox for the Potter family with a comment (like this:  ) about it being the American branch or individuals.

 * I don't see any reason why you couldn't add a castle description for Ilvermornym and gifs can be used to accompany the text as well. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 18:57, September 3, 2017 (UTC)

Here is the quote from - "I went to America to free a trafficked Thunderbird, which was quite risky enough, given that MACUSA had a curse-to-kill policy on all magical creatures at the time. I am proud to say that one year after my visit, President Seraphina Picquery instituted a Protective Order on Thunderbirds, an edict she would eventually extend to all magical creatures."

"Thunderbirds" is always capitalised so it's not clear if there was a formally named "Protective Order on Thunderbirds" law, but there was at least a "Protective Order", on Thunderbirds to start and later on all magical creatures. Hope that helps. --Ironyak1 (talk) 15:39, September 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * There is no way to make the image clearer, other than to pause the movie at a clearer moment and take a better screenshot. You can adjust the display size by adding an option to the File tag: 150px, 200px, etc... eg ImageName.jpg


 * As for articles on Duels, most articles are named like Duel at Godric's Hollow, so "Duel between Isolt Sayre and Gormlaith Gaunt", for separate articles, or "Duels at Ilvermorny Castle" to cover the multiple duels, would fit this standard. Hope that helps! --Ironyak1 (talk) 23:17, November 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * File:ManHatOnMilliners.png was taken from MinaLima print at their online shop, not from the movie - that is why it is so clear. There are other sources, like books and art prints, for some items. --Ironyak1 (talk) 19:59, November 7, 2017 (UTC)

RE Gregory Goyle's mother
A pure-blood is defined as someone without any muggle-or muggle-born parents or grandparents. So Goyle's mom may in fact be a half-blood due to a muggle or muggle-born grandparent, but as this would be a great-grandparent for Gregory he could still be a pure-blood. See to see how half-bloods can appear on a pure-blood family tree. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 15:48, June 28, 2017 (UTC)

Categories & Subcategories
Generally, only the most specific category should be on the article. For example, if an article is in Category:Malfoy family, it is automatically already under Category:Pure-blood_families, Category:Sacred Twenty-Eight families, Category:Wizard families, Category:Families, etc... The bot will automatically remove any redundant parent categories so any that have been added to articles will removed during the next run of the bot (about once a week). Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 04:07, September 28, 2017 (UTC)


 * Wikimedia (which Wikia is built on) uses a category tree, which has categories and subcategories arranged much like a system of folders. You only put the article (or file) in the most relevant subcategory (or folder), not in every category (or folder) above it.


 * All Malfoys are members of Sacred Twenty-Eight families, which are all Pure-blood families, which are all Wizarding families, etc... There is no need to apply all these categories as if the article belongs to the sub-category, it automatically is included in all the parent categories in the tree above.


 * The categories are not tags which have no structure or relationship to each other and would require all the relevant categories to be applied (any Malfoy article would have Malfoy family, Sacred Twenty-Eight families, Pure-Blood families, Wizarding families, Families, etc, etc... Hope that helps --Ironyak1 (talk) 23:42, September 28, 2017 (UTC)

My mistake, too many tabs open. This issue has been resolved, it seems.

RE:Ilvermorny Crest
Apologies; I hadn't really noticed the design of the Ilvermorny crest had been updated! Cheers, --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:05, October 4, 2017 (UTC)

RE Gif images
Sorry for the delay, but yes gifs are allowed and are used on many articles. --Ironyak1 (talk) 01:44, October 16, 2017 (UTC)
