User talk:Nick O'Demus

Q
Q- I was wondering if you know of a way in which I can see a list of all the pages that I have created, not edited but actually created. Is it possible? Patr0nus  ( Expecto Patronum! ) 16:20, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Forums question
Thanks for helping to find misplaced forum threads. Adding " " or "  " to a page automatically adds a navigational header to the top of that page and lists it in the applicable category. As for forum threads that have posted in the wrong place (e.g., in article space, on a talk page, etc.), these can be relocated to forum space by moving the page to "Forum:Whatever," then adding one of the aforementioned header templates. I'm not sure if the ability to move pages into forum space is open to non-admins, though, as I don't recall ever trying to do so when I was a non-admin. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f (Owl me!) 11:44, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Hi thanks for informing me about jayden he was a friend of mine i think it is reallly nice of you to give him a card and im sure he will apreciate it --Gryffindor&#39;sgiant 16:18, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Wizarding currency
Would you please explain why did you replace three articles about coins with redirects to the article Wizarding currency? I'm mostly active in the Russian HPWiki, so I may not know about local criterions here, but I haven't discovered any discussion on the appropriate talk page. Also, please take into account that I didn't want to split the main article or somehow touch it, I only wanted to create three separate articles. Thanks, --Microcell 18:34, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Nice one
Hey Nick O'Demus. I just wanted to say I think it's really stand-upish of you to make that condoloences card for User:Jayden Matthews. I'm sure he will really appreciate it. Who did he lose, does anyone know? –K.A.J•T•C•E• 10:05, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Awww man, that's really awfull. I know it's always bad when someone dies, but when it's really close family...We should all be there for him when he get's back! –K.A.J•T•C•E• 11:09, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

House Point Game
Hey Nick, I was just wondering if we have all the Prefects we need for the next House Point Game. If you and Starstuff need any help I'd be happy to help. --<font face="Mistral" size="6" color="Black">Profiteor 02:09, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

OK, sounds good ... if my option matters at all, Margiechocoholic would be an excellent Prefect for Gryffindor. Again thanks for the update --<font face="Mistral" size="6" color="Black">Profiteor 02:33, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes if you saw the message Jayden left on my talk page he just need a bit more time which is fine. Jayden proposed starting a Hufflepuff Quidditch Team but due to the lack of numbers I think it will have to wait I think It will be very easy task to keep up with Prefect duties. If you have any ideas that would be wonderful.
 * For Ravenclaw, if Oread can't stay as a Prefect I know You-Know-Who is a great user and contributor.
 * Yes I heard Jayce couldn't say its very unfortunate but Starstuff is great so I think it will be cool.

Minute silence
Hey Nick. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but Jayden's brothers funeral is next friday and Profiteor and myself discussed maybe holding a minute of silence as a mark of respect.

HPG again
I'm sorry for the late reply. I'm going away from tomorrow until the 12th, and though I'd hoped I could put in more time into setting up the House Points Game before leaving, I've been so busy with packing and making other arrangements that I haven't really had any time to spend online.

I agree with you that Margiechocoholic is an ideal choice for Gryffindor Prefect. It would be great if you'd ask her. If for some reason she can't take on the role, then Yatanogarasu and GrouchMan also identify as Gryffindors, have over 500 edits, and have been active recently.

As for Oread, I think we should wait until Thursday the 10th, to give her a little more time to reply. But if we don't hear from her by that time, then You-Know-Who, Rodolphus, and ShirleyA are most the users most qualified to fill her position.

I asked Smonocco if he'd like to take over for Jayce as the second Slytherin Prefect, but he had to decline, due to time commitments.

One way to help offset the uneven House membership would be to form House alliances. A House with more members would ally with a House with less members in order to help compensate for the latter's disadvantage. I'm thinking Gryffindor-Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw-Slytherin. Points would not be pooled together, but manpower would, as it's difficult for a team to carry out collaborative work when they've only got three or four active members. Any points earned by a Hufflepuff player under this scheme would go to Hufflepuff, rather than being split between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, but the alliance with Gryffindor would ultimately help the Hufflepuff team earn more points, by making it easier for Hufflepuff players to make progress on collaborative projects.

Last round I suggested players could collaborate on improving the articles on the Hogwarts founders and their respective Houses. Maybe the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff alliance could take Gryffindor/Godric Gryffindor to start and Ravenclaw-Slytherin could take Ravenclaw/Rowena Ravenclaw?

I'm really thankful for all your help in setting up the House Points Game. Would you mind being in charge while I'm away? <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!) 12:52, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm still on vacation, but I've got a laptop, and I promised myself that I would change over the Featured Article and Selected Picture on the main page on time so that we wouldn't have to change the schedules yet again. Thanks once more for staying on top of the HPG. We can go over our ideas when I get back on the 12th, but that is cutting close to the starting date, so if it comes down to it, we can postpone the starting date by a few days to ensure that have enough time to get everything ready. <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!) 16:42, September 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Regarding Matoro183 or You-Know-Who, it's a tough call. Matoro183 has been on the site longer and You-Know-Who has been more active recently, but since both experience and regular activity are things we look for in Prefects, I think we should ask both at the same time,  <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!) 17:06, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Gryffindor prefect
Hey! Thanks for asking me, I would love to become a prefect for Gryffindor. Just a quick question though, does the term go on for three months (would it finish on the 15th of December)? I am looking forward to it though. Hopefully you won't mind me coming to you with questions. Thanks,  Margiechocoholic  Owl me!undefined 06:54, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

 * [...] While we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one. As some of you may already know, Jayden Matthews's brother's funeral takes place this Friday, September 11th. As such, some of the people here at the HPW who have worked with Jayden ask the community to observe a simple moment of silence on this date and to sign the condolences card set up on Jayden's talk page. Thank you.

Re: Muggle-born Death Eaters
Before the release of book 6, JKR was asked about Snape´s blood status, and she stated that, in rare cases, muggle-borns can be Death Eaters. You can read it here.

Voldemort also wanted to have Harry´s mother as a Death Eater despite her status. You can read it here..

Re: Game Characters
I only own the Half-Blood Prince game for PS3, and, at the moment, do not know of any regular contributor who has played the DS version.

I'm guessing that Christian Serrano is the same person as 77.224.18.227. Back in July, this IP created several articles on characters from the DS version of the HBP game, which also featured difficult to understand English text apparently the result of a flawed Babelfish translation (see this forum post).

I found a video review of the game on YouTube, and at 1:20 in it, you see a dialogue bubble with the name "Fay Dunbar," so it seems the characters are legitimate. <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!) 22:14, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Round table discussion
I think it might be difficult for us to arrange a round table discussion time that worked for everyone due to time zone differences. If we want to try, though, we've got TimeandDate.com and WorldTimeZone.com to help us figure out the best time. Margie is in Australia (GMT+10), I'm on the west coast of Canada (GMT-7), but I'm not sure about you or Profiteor. It would be nice if we could arrange it so that the discussion time fell somewhere between 6AM to 9PM for everybody. It might ultimately be simpler to share our ideas in a regular discussion thread, though, as one of us would probably end up having to log on at an inconvenient time to participate in a real-time discussion. <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!) 21:44, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Re:De game

 * Edit classification: This is a good idea. I'd also suggest setting point ranges, like 1 to 5 for "minor," 5 to 15 for "medium," and 15+ for "major."
 * House alliances: The "Quidditch team" system was a good idea, but, as you pointed out, it was not workable for Houses with less than seven active members. When I suggested Gryffindor-Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw-Slytherin as the house alliances, I didn't just take offsetting the uneven membership into consideration, but also the compatibility of the Houses with each other, based on the traits and values presented in the books. I suppose canonical House relationships don't really effect members of this wiki, though, because it's not like our Gryffindors and our Slytherins refuse to work together. As to the possibility of a Hufflepuff-Slytherin alliance, I like this idea, and I think it could work.
 * Deducting points: I think the option of deducting points needs to remain in place in order for the code of conduct to carry weight. Without the possibility of players being penalized, the rules against copying, put-downs, etc. are kind of toothless. I don't foresee many, if any, points being deducted this round, but I think we need to keep the option available, in case somebody does something against the code of conduct.
