You know what's really sad?!

A plan I have
If you noticed my recent contributation to the page for the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) that I want to split the differences between the book and the film to make it easier for people to navigate similar to the Goblet of Fire and Half Blood Prince pages. The earliest movies the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets do not really need this since their sections are not quite as large. -Adv193 03:46, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Help?
Hey, Nick O' Demus. I saw that you're an admin and thought you could help. Last night, a user without an account as vadalizing a few pages along with my user page that to my relief, i was able to undo. I didn't know weither or not to report it. SnapeFan1 (Look..at…me… ) 11:46, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Vandals
You're welcome; i'm happy to help. And here's a question: I've noticed that sometimes a new user will not know immediately what all the benefits of their account are. Example: if they aren't following a suggestion made on their talk page, it's likely because they don't know the talk page exists. So how do you tell a new user that they have a talk page?

Question about individual infobox templates?
Well, I'm on a Harry Potter fanon site and I've tried to help out and see if I could create some infoboxes to help out certain users when they create their characters. But it turns out that I can't copy the right source code for the templates...when I try to copy and paste the one thats only allowed the found comes out too big and the source buttom at the bottom doesn't always come out linkable...is there any other way I could get it, please? Because I'd really love to help out on the site. I love Harry Potter. I'll even fully credit the site. JuniperAlien 12:15, April 24, 2011 (UTC

Okay the templates are the wand (Theres an error and the information won't fill out when being used) and the pet individual (Template turns out too large) Thank you so much. Don't forget to credit yourselves JuniperAlien 11:35, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Templates
Hi, Nick! I have a plead. Do you know how to make Templates? You have some wonderful templates here, but I miss one. There is no template for Severus Snape that says: This user was saddened by the death of Severus Snape. Can you tell me how to do one or do it perhaps for me? For that I would be really grateful.

Hi Nick. Thanks for letting me know about the Grindelwald image.

Hello! I've been wondering if there's anything I can do with my userpage so the "pages I've created" section isn't so long.

Re: Rollback
I have considered asking, and there are a couple of reasons why i haven't asked yet. One is that during a reversion, i sometimes like to look through pages to find out if there are any gnoming improvements to be made. Another is simply that i don't believe i'm experienced enough yet. I've only been a particularly dedicated user here for two weeks.

Also, I'd like some help uploading a picture for my user page. I can figure out the uploading itself, but the information that goes with it is over my head at this point. The picture can be found here and I'd like it at the same file name (Knightni.jpg). The Knights Who Say Ni 21:24, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. The Knights Who Say Ni 06:04, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * And i have a higher tolerance than some users on this wiki before i will do a cold-blooded reversion. like, i can tell if it was meant to be disruptive, but i've seen some edits that i thought were reasonable that were reverted by someone else w/o any edit summary besides undid revision # by The French Taunter. i usually prefer to write out a reason if it's not too obvious that it's meant to be disruptive.

i was just wondering if there was any specific reason for deleting my blog? i saw that it was offtopic, but it was a fanfiction blog. And I don't understand why it is offtopic, since it is containing details and thoughts from the Final Battle. If there is anything i can do to fix it, please feel free to let me know!

Re: Warning templates
i know about the templates (not all of them; thanks for telling me about the remaining ones), but i generally don't use them b/c they are too cold-blooded for my taste. that's why i wrote out the fanstuff notice for that user. Besides, as far as i know, there is a fine line between "Stuff JKR has told us that i don't know about" and "Fanon". is it considered good practice on this wiki to assume good faith? it is on another wiki that i'm active on.

Rich Text Editor
A couple days ago, Samreen Singh was asking for help on how to keep a name from being removed in an infobox. I could tell that the reason he was having trouble was because "Enable Rich Text Editor" was checked in his preferences, and i discouraged switching to the text-based editor. i have noticed that editing option causing a fair amount of small trouble across the wiki (like, pictures in the middle of paragraphs). Actually, tbh, this whole talk section is no more than an educated guess. I didn't even know the wiki could be edited that way until about a week ago, and then i realized that editing it that way made for a much more sensible explanation of why this small trouble is popping up than ppl randomly putting pictures in the middle of paragraphs. I didn't know how to help him b/c i don't have that option checked in my preferences. Do you, and if not, do you know who could help him in that respect?

Johnpaul Castrianni
hi nick, there is an issue on the talk page regarding Johnpaul castrianni, (sorry I am not used to wiki so didnt realise it wasnt as simple as just cutting) I am the person in question and it has been given to my attention that there is problomatic and offensive slander regarding myself by a user that is stating I am commiting fraud. I have appropriate documents to back up my claim as Lord of Kensington and the user submitted that I am nothing more than fraud which could potentially be harmful to me.

I am asking please if that talk comment could Please be removed asap. I do fully respect freedom of speech but not at the expensive of me as a person.

Well we would not want your freedom to lie being at the "expensive" of a person. I refer you to my talk post on the Castrianni wikipage. The title is not recognised by any legitimate authority. The Department of Nomenclature is not a real heraldic institution. In short the "Lord" claim being recognised by the harry potter wiki simply makes us look foolish and makes it appear as if we do not research such claims. Through the internet I can buy certificates saying I own land on the moon, mars or venus (http://www.moonestates.com/?gclid=CPOOxv_83KgCFYEc4Qodaz4rAg), just because I own a certificate from a dodgy website saying I have a title does not make it real. What makes a title real is its recognition by Heraldic authorities, and recognition a title from a title mill does not have. Atredies 08:35, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

issue cont
sorry again nick, could you advise on how i can do that or if you may, would I be able to scan my legal documents stating my title and email them to you directly?

i appreciate this situation but was the original writer able to provide proof I was not? the comments are extremely slanderous and I do need them removing but I really need help in getting that removed.

many thanks

links regarding offensive material
not sure if this helps but here are several links that do have me being stated as Lord Johnpaul Castrianni

and as stated I am more than happy to email scans of the official documentation to prove my title and then hopefully have the slanderous comments removed.

Johnpaul Castrianni
If I may offer my two cents on this issue? I've just visited the website where Mr. Castrianni aquired his "lordship". It's very amateurish, and promises those who buy a title from them will recieve a huge ego boost, and will have better luck finding a boyfriend or girlfriend. It's clearly nonsense. He isn't a lord, and I'm starting to think his acting credits are bogus as well. Jayden Matthews 13:44, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I did a little digging, and this appears to be longstanding hoax. "Lord Johnpaul Castriani" pretty much only appears in the links that he provided. The form he uploaded is clearly not a scan and was obviously created in a photoshop program. There is also no such thing as the "Department of Nomenclature." The imbd page he provided also makes no mention of him appearing in any films. The other site he provided is a forum, and can be edited by pretty much anyone. Not a single respectable Potter fan site has material or news related to him either.-- Matoro 183 (Talk) 21:27, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

I have tried to show them some form of proof but this still is not good enough. i ahve commited no crome no done anything to offend or publicly hurt anyone yet these people are allowed in some ways to bully me on here.

HP Wiki logo
Greetings Nick O'Demus,

Many apologies if this has been brought up before and/or is an idiotic idea, but wouldn't it be best for the HP Wiki logo to look more like the real HP logo seen on the films?

Nick, should we make a page of a death eater with a white bushy beard and grey bushy hair? He has a scarred face and is holding Ron Weasley in the Order of The Phoenix. He is seen in the Forbidden Forest, The Entrance Courtyard (several times because one, when voldemort is talking to the hogwarts combatants, before harry leaps out of hagrids arms, and then again bellatrix commands him and other death eaters to "fight")



I've done the page. make all the edits you need Unidentified Male Death Eater (III)

Please read!
Yeah, please block him, as he's been harassing me a lot lately, for a while now, and I've just been removing his posts, but I'm getting tired of doing it, so please just do it. -- ImperiexSeed, 8:15 PM, July 10th 2011

An Observation
You have recently made some revisions to the Spell page which removed a lot of information under the guise of "way too much speculation and "original research" (whatever that means). Firstly, this wiki clearly allows speculation to be noted in the articles, so long as it is marked as such, which it was. Special mention goes to the classification section, which was full of canonical information but you removed in favour a much less informative/useful version.

Likewise, the Dark Spells page was redirected by you to the Dark Arts without even bothering to merge the content (some of which is not included anywhere else on this wiki). You then had the gall to protect this page after your edit without deigning to state your case elsewhere (i.e. the talk page), all seemingly for no reason. And this is ignoring the fact that we are allowed offshoot articles like this one which expand on a subject mentioned elsewhere (like in the Dark Arts page).

Finally, you edited out my edit on the Counter-spell page saying that Sacrificial protection is a counter-charm (which it is).

I cannot possibly see the reasoning behind these edits save for you personally disagreeing with them (even though canon says otherwise) and strongly desire that you revert them or explain your reasoning, because all things considered, I don't think you should have made them. Green Zubat 04:25, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, I just noticed you're also the one who protected the magic page without explaining it anywhere, which I also strongly desire that you either revert or explain, consideiring that this makes it extremely difficult to edit that page. I recognise that this was probably your intention, but the page is full of errors and I know you'd say "well post on the talk page" but I have done this and my post has gone ignored for a week now, despite being very large, so I doubt anyone will pay attention to it (if only to deny it). Couldn't you at least move it down to semi-protection? Green Zubat 04:38, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Magic - oh, I see. Well, I feel stupid now :s

With regards to original research, I understand that its not actually canon, though I personally see no reason to remove it from the article (incidentally, I was originally against original research, as I am also associated with a stricter wiki, however from the look of this place when I joined it seemed like this wiki allowed that sort of thing). Is it therefore OK for me to assume then that original research (previously exiting or otherwise) should be moved to "Behind the scenes"?

And as you recommend, I will make my case to one of the other admins with regards to Dark Spells; thanks for your time.Green Zubat 17:51, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * And btw, Apparation is never stated to be a spell as far as I remember, its just something wizards can do. Hence, it shouldn't come into the picture except possibly in the Behind the scenes section.Green Zubat 18:12, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Molly Weasley
A number of problems:


 * I never said offensive magic = dark magic, but she did use seriously dark magic (Petrifying curse, Killing Curse take your pic) and she threaten to use dark magic in the lower echelons too.


 * Dark Arts is a category of magic, duelling is not. Duelling just describes one's ability to fight another magic users, it is not appropriate to discuss her Dark Arts skills there (nor her skill in any of the other categories of magic, like Charms or Transfiguration).


 * If you don;t agree with my edit, change it. Don't blindly revert it or you might delete some information (which you did, besides the Dark Arts stuff)

Green Zubat 23:32, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * With regards to Molly Weasley: I did check the revision history, checked it thrice, actually. You clearly did a blind revert; aside from removing the info about Dark magic you also put the info about jinxes and hexes back into Charm...which incorrect categorisation.


 * As for the Ginny Weasley page, her inheritance is what gives her such magical skill, hence it fits in the "Magical skills and abilities" section.


 * On both pages you don't seem to want to acknowledge their ability to cast Dark magic (I'm assuming because you think it looks bad on them or something, which is not the cast; dark =/= evil). Instead you keep trying to push the information into inappropriate sections. For example, you changed Ginny's page to have a Hexes secion, which would be fin if she'd only been sen to use hexes, but that's not the case, she's also been known to cast a very powerful reductor curse. That fact however, you tried to slip into the duelling section, which is inappropriate*. Because Ginny has used Curses and Hexes it naturally follows that we should have a section on her page for "Dark Arts", sine they are both.


 * Slipping things like the Reductor curse into the duelling section is bad practise because its a double standard; duelling is about how well you can fight an opponent, not about how well you can use Dark magic, hence we could theoretically shove charms in there as well instead of having a separate category, but you don't feel the need to do this, only with the Dark magic.


 * All in all, we should strive to categorise a character's magical skills and abilities by the canonical classifications known to us as best we can, so if a character uses Charms we should have a section for it. If they transfigure something we should have a section for Transfiguration and, yes, if they pratise the Dark Arts at any point we should have a section for that too. Green Zubat 17:35, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Oh, and I almost forgot: with regards to film canon vs. book canon, I was under the impression (well, actually I was told so by another admin) that non-book sources are canon unless they contradict the books, at which point they're non-canon. Molly's duel with Bella does not appear to contradict the books and hence must be canon.

Bellatrix Lestrange Cleanup
Hello,

I dont know if you assign anyone or what not, but the Bellatrix Lestrange page needs alot of cleaning up.

Re:You alright?
They're doing renovations on my apartment building again, and though it isn't as intense as last year (four months living out of boxes), it's still very frustrating and bad for one's general mood. When I found that most of the year of birth and year of death categories I'd put a lot of effort into building had been deleted, on the grounds that a category for a specific year isn't warranted when there's only one character known to have been born/died in that year, I got upset. It doesn't seem logical to me to lump characters known to have been born in, say, 1821, 1823, and 1827 into "Category:1820s births," because the top-level category is "Individuals by year of birth," not "Individuals by decade of birth." Characters were only intended to be listed at the decade level if their exact year of birth was unknown but the decade could be pinned down. I wanted to focus on updating the James Potter, Lily Evans, and Vernon Dursley articles with some of the new information that's come out of Pottermore, and having to rebuild the year of birth/death categories instead is just really frustrating. <font color="Green">★ <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!) 09:40, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

 * This year they're painting the building's exterior, which isn't as much of a disruption as last year's complete overall of the heating system, but it's frustrating going to the trouble of putting a tarp over a window that doesn't quite close properly and then having the power-washers decide to pack it in for the day early, forcing you to take down the tarp and put it back up the next morning because it's too hot to just leave it up for the night.

There's a lot in disambiguation pages, for exemple : Anne (disambiguation), Roger (disambiguation) and others in dates, I think we could leave the infos about birth or death about Anne Rowling for example, but sister's marriage and so, it's not useful, isn't it?
 * There's a lot of anon talk pages or archives with these links, do you want a list of all pages to check them?
 * There's files too, for exemple a Anne and Peter's marriage in J.K.'s gallery.


 * Sorry to disturb you, I didn't check who deleted the pages. I don't want to reconsider anything: this wiki has its own policies and it's fine for me (I only disagree when some people want to enforce your policies on the french wiki as if we were your subordinates). I'm just asking this because:


 * There's always links (red links), so there's a risk to see these page created again. Some people work with Special:WantedPages. Just for that I have begun to delete the links, but I can't delete all of them because some of them are in talk pages or archive talk pages.
 * There's a no sense to create in-universe characters as J.K. Rowling or Daniel Radcliffe (where as a "behind a scene" is sufficient) and to say that real people mentionned in dedications of the books are not related at all.
 * Here I return to my work on the French wiki where I have enough to do-- 11:02, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Spell
Hi Nick, I noticed that Tom Riddle's unidentified spell and the Shield Penetration Curse are the same. Could you merge them into one for me? Thx, Dement0r 18:41, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Locked articles
Burning of the Burrow could probably be downgraded to semi-protected. Part-troll ... the user responsible for creation has been active lately, and made this edit to his talk page to alter Seth's comments on the matter at hand. Its such a minor subject that it doesn't deserve even partial protection (to be honest, I don't think it even deserves an article since I'm sure it was meant as a joke rather than an actual characteristic description) but I'm loathe to lower the protection since I think the user will just edit it again to the way he wants. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 13:30, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Questions about Harry Potter
I am a big HP fan but I have a few questions to ask

1. What would a boggart take shape of if the person's worst fear was a boggart?

2. Could someone cast Riddiklus on another's boggart?

3. How old was Voldemort when he died?

4. Why didn't Charlie marry?

Try your best to answer them; if you don't know just put N/A on the question ;-) Mother Fudger! 12:49, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for those!

Can you ask me some questions and I'll try and answer them? Mother Fudger! 14:20, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Concern
"500 - Internal Server Error" for me too. If the website is permanently down that means trouble for us, as that was one of the preferred sources for JKR interviews. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 21:38, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Family Members
Had Lily's last name been established by the time of OOtP? Anyway, some can be overlooked but some are just too obvious to miss, going to look for one now...-HoboHunter28- (Leave me an owl!) 01:48, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

I'm having some trouble finding them but once I do I'll give you one.-HoboHunter28- (Leave me an owl!) 02:08, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Here. Try the case of Harfang Longbottom. Can you give any explanation of this? -HoboHunter28- (Leave me an owl!) 19:35, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Why did you revert them?

Pottermore information
Alright, with the early opening beta of Pottermore underway, new information is starting to dribble onto the site: case in point - Ollivander's first name is revealed, and the name of McGonagall's mother. Now, with this being a closed beta, we're going to be hard pressed to verify this info unless at least one of us has entry to Pottermore. If we don't, we're going to have to trust the user base until we can verify it. I have been accepted myself for early entry, but am still waiting for access. So the question is, has anyone else applied for/ got early entry so we can effectively screen for fanon? - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 17:07, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Fanon, redux
Hey, Nick. Can you block 24.165.95.84? He's continuing to add fanon to the Ronald Weasley page after a warning. Thanks. -- <font face="Gisha" color="red">Cubs Fan <font face="Gisha" color="white">(Talk to me)  04:15, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've noticed edits like those, too. Not only are they unconstructive, they're redundant, as well. -- <font face="Gisha" color="red">Cubs Fan <font face="Gisha" color="white">(Talk to me)  04:32, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Crests
Hey Nick. There have been a few discussions over the past couple of years regarding the Hogwarts House crests. Specifically which version of the crests to use. Now that a brand new set of crests have been revealed on Pottermore I thought that now might be an ideal time to reignite the debate. They would undoubtebly be the most canocial images in existence, as they come directly from Rowling's own site. What do you think? Jayden Matthews 17:28, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do. Here are the crests. Jayden Matthews 18:09, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Vandalism attack
I assumed 84.178.96.39 was a one-time vandal and gave the standard warning. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware the IP's action fit a pattern of ongoing disruption, because I've gotten lost in all the new information coming out of Pottermore, and thus I probably haven't been monitoring the recent changes list as closely as I should.

Thanks for keeping an eye on things! Also, thanks for this, which put a huge smile on my face. <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!) 18:12, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
