Please Help Me
Hi, I am new to the Wiki and there is a lot of stuff I try to do but can't figure out how to.

It seems like you know this really well, so could you explain how to add userboxes and (I don't know what this is called) the large box where birth date, blood status, family members, and all that stuff is?

Also, how do you put on a picture?

Please help, I'm clueless here.

Thanks.

chat mods
Hey, I heard we didn't have any chat mods assigned, and admins aren't on chat much, I have been some and would like to suggest making User:Speedysnitch a chat mod, they are in fairly frequently during the week and a lot on the weekend, and have 600 edits and seem fairly mature. Wasn't sure if that was something I should just go ahead and assign or how we'd go about dealing with chat mods.--<font face="Vivaldi" size="5" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Send an Owl! ) 21:03, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Voldemort's Name
True but who's to say that Tom wasn't short for Thomas and Tom was a nickname that he used (prior to assuming the guise of Lord Voldemort). True, he didn't like a common name (which is why he chose Voldemort) but he still needed a name and didn't feel any reason prior to the age of 16 to change his name, despite finding it common and mundane.

Jdogno7 13:24, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Edit Warring
It is not meant to be an edit war. I am merely undoing your edits as it is less time consuming than replacing the nickname Tom with the full name Thomas at the relevant points. You haven't answered my question. Is there anything that is INCONTREVERTIBLE, UNCONTRADICTABLE or ABSOLUTE that Tom isn't his full name but a nickname and Thomas is his full birth first name?

As I previously pointed out, Voldemort may have only used "Tom Marvolo Riddle" as it made the perfectly neat anagram of "I am Lord Voldemort", which he couldn't have done with Thomas, as he would have the word "has" or "ash" (two most likely real words you could make with those three letters alone) or just the three letters, h, a and s left over.

As I have come to understand, after asking people who have lost loved ones, it is unecessary for one to put the complete or full name of anyone on a gravestone, or even a name at all. If "grandpa" Riddle was burried under the name Thomas, it was most likely that he either wanted to be burried under that name or simply the name, he was best known by. Same for "Tom Riddle Sr."/Thomas "Tom" Riddle II, he was burried as simply Tom Riddle, because that was the name he was best known by, to others.

The only reason, he wasn't burried as Thomas Riddle II/Tom Riddle II was because no one in Little Hangelton, including Thomas Riddle II, knew that there was a Thomas Riddle III until the day the Riddles were killed. That would have been the first meeting between son and father, grandson and paternal grandparents.

The orphanage would have most likely had to legally register its wards, so it woudl have been on Muggle legal records that Voldemort was born Thomas Marvolo Riddle/Tom Marvolo Riddle, but not necessarily that that he was the son of Thomas Riddle II/Tom Riddle II of Little Hangleton and certainly not Merope Gaunt as she would never have existed according to Muggle legal records as well as Marvolo Gaunt.

Just wondering, did you delete a page called The Original Forty? You marked it as redundant and unnecessary information but it's from one of JKR's first notebooks... just wondering because I published it and left the page for a second then refreshed and said you'd deleted it.

Death Eater in HP4 film???
Hi Seth, I need again your help about something. On the french Wikia, someone created today a page about a Death Eater exclusive to the Goblet of Fire film fr:Calahan and after a little search, I can view that there's a mention on the french Wikipedia and I don't find any page on this wiki. I have seen several times the scene in the cemetary this evening (in english and in french): they think that it's a name that is pronounced between Crabbe and Macnair but for my part I'm not sure, do you know if this problem was discussed here in the past and/or what do you think about this?

A few times ago, I left a question about Dudley's gang (in archive 14) but I had no answer: do you know someone who can help me about this?

I have created 3 exclusive pages about the french version on the french wikia last week (mentionned in the Quidditch through the ages). When I will have more time, I will create them here too but I will need your help about this, as usual. See you soon. -- 19:26, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Seth, Thank you for your answer. I had the same feeling about this fake Death Eater but I wanted to talk to someone, which is not easy because I am currently the only active administrator on the French wiki. I had fixed this morning the french pages about Dudley's gang and I'll try to be aware about further changes here. And yes, it was these french pages, I hesitated, I did not know whether to translate "Académie française des sorciers". For your information, I give you the whole french text :

"Glossaire à l'usage des apprentis sorciers Le Quidditch est né en Grande-Bretagne et le vocabulaire qui s'y rattache est bien entendu anglais. Pendant des siècles, l'usage de ces termes anglais a prévalu sur tous les terrains d'Europe. Cependant, depuis la fondation, en 1635, de l'Académie française des sorciers, une commission d'experts présidée par deux éminents académiciens, Boniface Toubeau et Archibald Bienbon, a créé des équivalents français à l'usage des équipes - et des supporters - de notre pays. Nous publions ci-dessous un glossaire anglais-français des principaux termes employés." "Les balais cités dans cet ouvrage ne sont pas toujours commercialisés sous le même nom en Grande-Bretagne et en France. Voici les équivalents de marque qui permettront aux lecteurs de s'y retrouver s'ils souhaitent faire l'achat d'un balai." "Un dernier conseil : si vous vous rendez prochainement en Grande-Bretagne, n'oubliez pas d'emporter ce glossaire, il pourra peut-être se révéler utile si vous rencontrez quelques sorciers locaux..." and the list of terms, but when there's a page on the french wiki, we add a interlink here.
 * Another question... Is there a page here where I can find the whole text on Chocolate Frog Cards in games? I explain my problem. In the french version (PC), for Hengist of Woodcroft, it says: "(Moyen Âge, dates inconnues. Persécuté par les Moldus, Hengist aurait fui pour se réfugier en Écosse, fondant le village de Pré-au-Lard." and I have found this on the net: blog page there's a mention to the Three Broomsticks (les Trois Balais) that is missing in the french version, so I would compare both versions for other wizards. I have recorded the french versions fr:Folio Magi here, my husband hasn't finished the game yet (I've bought it in a fleamarket last year / last week I've bought several Harry Potter items, some posters, a electronic book, some trading cards and a frame. I normally search... old fashion dolls, nothing to do with Harry Potter) -- 13:27, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you SO MUCH for reposting it! I have saved it on my computer and sorry for that I 1. didn't know and 2. it was the only thing that was working because the internet had stopped and it was the only page up (and micorosoft word had been acidentally uninstalled so i had to install it again)

Horrible English
Hey, Seth. Sorry for my horrible English on the pages Académie française des sorciers, Boniface Toubeau and Archibald Bienbon. I'm from Denmark and had to use Google Translate to translate the French. So actually it's the Translator's fault, and not mine. --Danniesen

Rowena Ravenclaw
Seth,

Please edit out the third point on Rowena Ravenclaws in the behind the sceens section, because it was rather insulting. This is the point:


 * Despite being a house that values intelligence, the house has its quota of female beauties (Rowena and Helena Ravenclaw, Cho Chang, Padma Patil, Luna Lovegood), and even Fleur Delacour, who decided to sit at the Ravenclaw table while staying in Hogwarts. Male Ravenclaws such as Roger Davies have also been described as good looking. Even Filius Flitwick, Ravenclaw's head of house in the 1990s, was described as good-looking in his younger days. Ravenclaw's effigies also depict a beautiful albeit intimidating-looking woman 

According to what is written, if you are beautiful and in Ravenclaw that is rather surprising! It is helping propetuate the belief that if you are beautiful (or handsome) you must not be very smart.

Plus the page is about Rowena Ravenclaw not about the students in her house. None of the other pages of the founders have listed a list of it's members during Harry's year.

Thanks DebMannd1068 23:06, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

What Constitutes a Stub?
I was curious because I noticed a number of articles that were marked as stubs, but I'm not realy sure why. I was under the impression that articles generally are supposed to be marked as stubs if there is significant content regarding the subject that still needs to be added and not necessarily simply because they are small in size. For example, Poisonous duck is marked as a stub, but what else can be said about that subject (unless a discussion of the characteristics of ducks in general is desired)? It is only given the barest of mentions in one book. There are a number of creatures like this that are marked as stubs, such as the Gulping Plimpy, to give another example. ProfessorTofty 03:11, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. Based on that, I will probably be removing the stub tag from a number of articles, possibly doing some minor fix-up or adding if there is anything that can be improved without indulging in speculation or canon-violation. ProfessorTofty 19:58, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Zacharias Smith
There's a problem with Smith's page. Could you check it please? It's explained on the talk page. Rodolphus shows a problem with the year (I'm agree with him...) and me too: there's a pic of the battle of Hogwarts that is added and people said it's Smith, but there's no evidence that it's him at all. Thank you. -- 11:32, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for deleting that second photo for me. I would have done it myself but I didn't know how. Thanks again.

Robert Ripley
Hi Seth. Just thought I'd let you know that Dannisen is now logging out in order to remove the "deletion" tag from the Robert Ripley article, using an IP address nearly identical to the one he used to argue against his previous block. He seems to think that he's the invisible man:) Jayden Matthews 14:35, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Streeler and Giant orange snail
The page of the streeler has a picture with a Chocofrog, but I think that this Chocofrog is not depicted as a Streeler: it's a (in french a "escargot orange, I believe it's in english "poisonous orange snail") so as the wiki have two pages, one for Streeler and one for Orange snail (which doesn't seem to be able to change color, because of their name and their appearance in the games), I think that the pic should be move, but maybe I'm wrong because I played only with the french version of the game. In Harry Potter Trading Card Game, there's a picture of a streeler, no doubt, here it's written streeler on the card, so it's possible to change the pic. -- 17:02, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Equus poster
Hi Seth. It's a scan of an actual copy of the poster. You can tell it's the same issue as the one in the cafe becasue of the slightly sepia colouration, not found in later editions. The poster is advertising the premier of the revival in Shaftesbury Ave. To be honest, I would have tagged those articles even if the posted wasn't dated 2007. Jayden Matthews 11:48, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the one in the cafe is a leaflet or program, rather than a full poster. But still, those articles Dannisen created would be unnecessary in any case. Jayden Matthews 10:33, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Stubs, Part Two
While looking over the list of book stubs, I noticed a number of articles based solely on books that were briefly featured at J.K. Rowling's Official Site - David Copperfield, Pride and Prejudice. I'm not really sure of the point of having articles based solely on books briefly given a mention at the website that actually have any association with the Harry Potter series - it sort of reminds me of the recent debates regarding the Robert Ripley and other such articles. However, assuming we are keeping these articles, what would be the best way to clear them out of stub status? I was thinking maybe a brief line or two describing the plot of each one, along with a link to Wikipedia's entry for them. Perhaps also their own category and a template indicating in some way that they're here because they were mentioned at the official website, but we're not interested in hosting more detailed articles on them. ProfessorTofty 19:03, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good. I'll go ahead with that, then, and we can get those "stub" tags cleared off of some more pages. ProfessorTofty 21:57, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Reply from Night Owl 87
Hello Seth, and thanks for the welcome! :) All I was attempting was a minor edit, where it listed Albus Dumbledore having died in June of 1998 instead of 1997 (which of course, due to Snape's own death the following year was impossible). I thought I had checked the "Minor edit" box; but maybe it got unselected while I was checking the Help and Preview pages. There was already some information in the "Edit Summary" box; and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to delete that, or just add my own notation(s) on to the end. I know some HTML code; but it has been a long time since I last used it, so I didn't want to risk messing up anything. Hope I didn't occasion any confusion, as I am completely new to this.

Need some possible help
I have decided that until the DVD comes out or if a valid source is found then the deleted scenes section on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 needs to stay out due to speculation. While I recently took care of this, if it continues to be a hassle or if you find it necessary could you semi-lock the page until November 11th.

How do we know for sure that the author Arsenius Jigger is the same as Jigger, author of Potion Opuscule? --Danniesen 18:17, November 2, 2011 (Denmark)

Okay, thanks. But why did the potion-book only mention his surname? Normally a book would say, in his case, Arsenius Jigger or A. Jigger. --Danniesen 19:32, November 2, 2011 (Denmark)

Category:Images of the Huffelpuff common room
Help! I was to quick and spelled wrong. Huffelpuff instead of Hufflepuff. I don't know how to delete this "new" category. Perhaps you can help. Harry granger 17:43, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Seth! I saw this photo on Narcissa Malfoy. I think THAT has nothing to do here. What do you think? 20:26, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, that was very quick. Thank you. I consider myself not for prude, but that was already quite strong. 20:34, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Seth,

With Warners Oscar campaign just launched, was wondering if we could put up a poll on the main page asking the community to vote on which Oscar category they think HPDH Part 2 has the best chance of winning in? I think it'd be a fun poll with some longevity to it!

Let me know your thoughts! Best, <font color="Blue">Peter 20:27, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Template:Activeusers
Hi, I only wanted to tell you that there is a link crash on this site in your user name. 00:05, November 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I fixed it - as far as I can tell, it was just an issue with a link to another user (not currently active) inserted in the middle of the name. ProfessorTofty 00:28, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Major Problem
Weblykinly at Nickipedia has gone mad with power. She's uploading images that she had no legal permission to upload just for her little "project". She claims her images are good without citing sources. She thinks just because she's a administrator she can do a project on her own without permission from any of her colleagues. She then blocked me indefinitely for fake reasons when I confronted her about her powere abuse. Something must be done. She is still stubborn that I used sockpuppets. She wasn't letting me disagree with her, forcing me to conform. Please help. Something must be done about her.--Jack&#39;s Posse Fic 20:04, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Seth,

Wanted to give you a heads up that we're putting the poll up today; we're creating the header for it and using the Oscar preview video to accompany the poll! Hope it's okay if we reduce the featured article length a bit to make more room for the poll... I think the community is going to love this!

Cheers,

Killer
Who is the killer from Three unidentified Snatchers who disintegrated during the Battle of Hogwarts? By the way, is the movie canon enough to put the pictures of them and their kills at User:Station7/Killcount ;) --Station7 16:09, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Or should I seperated in movie and books? --Station7 16:12, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

And what about Nevillle killing Scabior and the other 4 Snatchers. Are they only movie kills? --Station7 23:05, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi,i am new to wiki and there is a lot of stuff i can't figure out how to do. It looks like you know this really well. Could you tell me how to add userboxs, and i don't know how to put the large box where birth date, blood status, family members, and the other stuff. Also to put on a picture. Please help, because i haven't a clue. Thanks.

Trolling
Hello, would you please come on chat for a minute? Degrassi wiki chat is being trolled by some HP users. Icy I'll see you in hell babe 03:45, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

Main page
The main page still shows Pottermore opening to the general public in October in the "Daily Prophet News" section. As it is nearly the end of November and it still hasn't opened we know that's not accurate. Can you fix that, please? Thanks, -Shorty1982 20:33, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Canon and Fanon
Let me get this straight...is canon true stuff about the content of the wiki its in? If so, is fanon false junk people post on the wikis, like vandalism? 94.9.29.102 22:00, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Advanced Potion Making picture
Hi. I noticed that you had put an outstanding photo of pages from Advanced Potion Making. I have a question - where did you get it from? I try and try and still can't find enough pages from this book. Thanks in advance :) James

re: RE: advanced potion making picture
Ok then, thank you very much :) I'll follow that path :)

Lego Harry
Hello. Great work on Dirk's article.
 * I´ve heard that Hestia Jones appears in the game as well. Is there any resemblance to a film witch?


 * Madam Pomfrey can be found at the Ravenclaw wnreance. The others found there include Myrtle, Luna and Penelope in years 1-4. Can we add to BTS that Pomfrey was likely a Ravenclaw based on this?--Rodolphus 14:41, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

I´ve found Hestia. She is in the Leaky Caudron. You have to charm the chairs at the far left.--Rodolphus 15:30, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Correction: Pomfrey is found at the Hufflepuff entrance.--Rodolphus 15:29, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

Do you think Walburga and Orion should get new infobox images from the game?--Rodolphus 15:13, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Need a hand with something
Since the section in 10 December has a citation needed tab on the event section and that part is shown on the main page I need your help in adding that citation which refers to Chapter 11 of the Chamber of Secrets book. Since it is protected I cannot edit it myself. -Adv193 02:20, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Project:IRC
Could you please update all links in Project:IRC so they point to irc.wikia.com/?channels=wikia-harrypotter instead of irc.wikia.com/?select=wikia-harrypotter ? Because the latter is not working but instead people are joining the wrong channel. --88.13.93.113 14:59, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

IF UR A HARRY POTTER ADDICT YOU WOULD KNOW THAT HERMIONE DID CHANGE WANDS IN THE MOVIE U IDIOT!

Unliking a blog post
Is there anyway to unlike a blog post? I accidentally clicked the "Like" button while leaving a comment on this blog post and I naturally do not like the post. -Shorty1982 22:44, December 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I checked Facebook and I was able to remove it there. I didn't even realize I had my Facebook tied to Wikia. -Shorty1982 22:58, December 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I hate how Facebook is getting tied into everything I do online, whether I like it or not. I didn't have Facebook connected to Wikia according to my preferences and it still connected to my Facebook somehow. I never use my Facebook to log into, or set up an account on, for anything but Facebook. I connected to Facebook and told Wikia to never send anything to my newsfeed. So many sites have started using Facebook for their comments, which I don't like as I like to keep the different sites I go to separate from one another and because I don't want these various sites getting any bit of my info from Facebook at all. -Shorty1982 23:07, December 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, and you're welcome. That guy's post really annoyed me, insulting you solely for following the policies of this wiki. You never delete something without having, and giving, a good reason. IMNSHO you are an excellent admin and one of the many excellent editors on this wiki that help make it such a great source of all things Harry Potter, keep up the good work! -Shorty1982 23:13, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

hi seth i was just wondering how you got your picture to look like your name is on the marauders map so yea please respond and tell me how i can do tht thxHgsanti 02:29, December 12, 2011 (UTC) Hgsanti

Other Licensed Harry Potter Books
There are a number of more minor, but nonetheless officially licensed Harry Potter books that don't yet have any mention yet on the Wiki, such as the Harry Potter Magic Eye books, the Harry Potter Pop-Up Book and the Harry Potter film poster books. Seing as these books don't really add anything to canon, I was thinking of creating a page for them like List of Harry Potter unofficial guidebooks page, though possibly with brief descriptions of each one, since they are license products. I just wanted to make sure first that it wasn't okay to actually create individual pages for them. If this is something that would need more discussion or a vote first, that's cool too.

JaysonBoy 17:20, December 12, 2011 (UTC)Wikia in Latvian
Hi! i didn't knew where to ask you but.. I have saw the other Harry Potter wikis in other languages (like Russian Harry potter wiki) and i wonder if i could create one in Latvian? Im great Harry Potter fan and i want to create it. Can you allow it? Please answer me!

Personal attack
Look at this blog. He is attacking you personally. --Station7 20:09, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Excuse me, why do you keep deleting my blog posts? Abranon 23:24, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hi this is Cartoon44. You deleted my Cry for the moon page. I wanted to know why because I personally saw the manga myself. I'll give you the link below. Tell me if I can make the page again. If I didn't even get the details right can you at least read the comic and summarize it if I can't? oon-chapter-1%20(oneshot)-page-2.html

Tom Riddle Photos
Why is it that after the months and months that the duelling on the staircase and Voldemort hugging Draco photos have been on there, suddenly when  I  upload a higher quality one of the second one, they get deleted? I realise they're not canonical, but why me? Why when  I  contribute to it, they get deleted? Why not do it as soon as they were uploaded, however many months ago? AlastorMoody 02:31, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, thanks, Seth, you're awesome.... Certainly my favourite admin... certainly the nicest here.... AlastorMoody 02:36, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Seth! I'm wondering how do you make a template? Like Character Boxes? And how do you put your name in a Character Box? Thanks.Harry James Potter 4ever 07:48, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Official Ministerial Business
Hey Seth. I just wondered what the Official Ministerial Business mentioned on Mafalda Hopkirk's identity card was. --Danniesen 22:17, 22 December, 2011 (Denmark)

Blanking of a user page
Hi, Seth! Something odd happened to the user site of the user John Canavi. has blanked this page and left this message: "Blanked on request of J.P.C. The user in question no longer has access to this account. Please do not re-instate this page." Can this be the case? I am not sure. It is his first edit which created his ID-account and on his talk page is no message from John Canavi. So I thought I better ask you. What do you think? 21:13, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Seth, hope you've had a merry Christmas! Just so you're aware, Dannisen (yes, I know!) should be due another block per Cav's last warning, in regards to copying non Harry Potter related content from Wikipedia. Also, I'm not sure if you saw what he wrote on Lavendar Brown's page, but describing someone with black skin as being "diseased" is unnaceptable, and most definately grounds for Administrative action. Again, merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Jayden Matthews 18:55, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I did, thank you. I'm still enjoying it, truth be told! Over-indulged on the alchy-hol a little, but hey, it's Christmas! As for... him, you're the admin, so as always it's your call. It just incredibly frustrating coming to the realisation that nothing whatsoever will encourage him to change, and that we will be back here again, probably within days. When you say good faith, I'm not sure if you're talking about the articles, or the Lavendar buisiness? If it's the former, than I'd have to diagree. He deliberately copy and pasted them from Wikipedia, despite being told several times not to, by Cav and myself. If it's the latter I agree it was probably just sheer stupidity on his part. I'm sure you can understand why I found what he wrote repulsive. Anyway, enjoy what's left of the season! (I've missed talking to you bytw) Jayden Matthews 20:00, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Hi it's me Kellyanne in the Merlin wiki I had bad stuff happening. Everyone hated me even the admin then. But just to let u know I bet this wiki is great. You know In the other wiki my friend got access to my account and wrote bad stuff to people I hope you'd be a great ADMIN and i'm sure u will.!!!

Occlumency
Playing LEGO Harry, I´ve noticed that somr characters are revealed to be Occlumens (the yellow sprll is Occlumency, isn´t it?)

I´ve seen that Walburga and Lucius are Occlumens in the game. That's canon, isn´t it?--Rodolphus 18:18, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, I am new to the wiki, but I was wondering, have you ever considered using badges? I have been on some wikis that use them, and they really boost how much people edit. Not that people don't edit here, but most consider it as an acheivement to strive for so they edit more and with higher quality. There is also the fact that some spam to get them, but with 17 admins you should be able to attend to that.

It is just an idea, and I leave it up to you to decide.

Have a great day! Wise men  don't need advice.   Fools won't take it.  03:40, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

P.S I know I have left this message on Cavalier One's talk page, but he is not responding. :/

Ok, that sounds cool.

Also, I noticed one of your admins User:Me Potter Fan hasn't edited since Oct 12 2009. As that is over 2 years ago... shouldn't he be demoted? Wise men  don't need advice.   Fools won't take it.  23:26, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

That's exactly my point. If he isn't doing anything, why should he stay as admin? Wise men  don't need advice.   Fools won't take it.  23:32, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Seriously? Wow.

I was an admin on the Bakugan Wiki, and got demoted. (I was barely on and wasn't using it.

We have had over 20 admins, and if you don't edit for 2 months without a reason, (e.g vacation,no internet, etc...) you are demoted. Right now we have 8. Wise men  don't need advice.   Fools won't take it.  23:51, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Modifications on a user page
Two users (one anonymous and Danniesen) changed one of my sign model by adding the tag delete. It seems to me that such behavior is not allowed: the model is one of my user subpages. When I revert the vandalism the first time, Danniesen started an edit war by putting the tag stating "Not Harry Potter"... -- 11:41, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

Wizards Cards
Good idea to upload more wizard Card images. I tried to add a Biography to Rastrick's article.--Rodolphus 15:11, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

ID number on userpage
What's going on on this userpage? There is high traffic of ID-numbers who edit this page which isn't allowed. How can that be stopped? 23:26, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

That's a good idea. I think the user himself will be thankful for that. 15:59, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
