Comments
What do you think this new image (New image OotP)? I think best represents the character, rather than the current one in which appear the three toms and may confuse visitors.Pol 871 18:41, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we need to be looking at a Deathly Hallows image. Maybe this one (New image DH)? Jayden Matthews 15:08, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, i think, that a HBP-picture of Tom Riddle would be preferable. Why not this one (Young Riddle Image)?
 * Because it doesn´t show his most recent appearance. The picture on the left seems acceptable to me.--Rodolphus 14:49, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why would a picture of him at the age of sixteen be preferable to a picture of him at his current age of seventy one? Jayden Matthews 15:08, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * In my opinopn, it isn´t.--Rodolphus 15:18, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Jayden Matthews 15:53, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we should put the Deathly Hallows image as it is chronologically the last (actually I guess he is in his last minutes). --El Profeta Vespertino 12:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that this image is the best (New image DH).Pol 871 19:32, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Without a doubt. Jayden Matthews 22:19, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * When voting closes?Pol 871 14:58, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Etymology
The etymology section should be re-ordered. The long paragraph in which all of the various possibilities are discussed is fascinating, but since all of the evidence points to the name simply being the French, "Flight from death", this should be the first suggestion.

Years of death and born
Since Hagrid was expailed from school because of Tom Riddle and Hagrid is born in the 1940's so Riddle can't be born in 1926.

Secoundly Tom ain't 72 when in dies in 1997.. But only around 50


 * Actually, Hagrid was expelled in 1942 ("fifty years ago" in 1992), not born then. In 1942 he was thirteen, so Hagrid was born in 1929. Riddle was three years older than him, so he was born in 1926. --Parodist 15:48, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

eyes
in the fourth film, when voldemort opens his eyes after turning human, he does have snake eyes before quickly turning normal. this is said on wikipedia as well, we should put on the article. 16:34, july 30th, 2010.

can someone please agree with me, because I want some support behind this before I put it on the page. --- 15:26, august 5th, 2010.
