(It feels really awkward to be the firs to leave a message on your talk, am I even allowed to?) So, you recommended me to take care of the gif things. I dropped my comments to Hot chocolate and Telephone booth, and I'll probably start sorting the Trio images later.

For now, I've decided to just check for GIFs, and I don't really know how to edit categories, as I've never done it before. Should I just give you a list of the lot, or is there a hidden uncomplicated trick to relocating files? I could have sworn I've read it somewhere in one of your messages to someone, though.

Cheers! 민태준  -  슈가 ( Inconvenience me here! )


 * Thanks for your reply! I don't really mind getting in trouble with others tbh xD I dislike installing apps etc. because I use Linux, so b] probably isn't an option for me.


 * I'll do what I can about the GIFs, I'll let you know when I need help, and if there's any task like adding to talks on articles or so, relocating things once I get the hang of it or simply spell checking some left over pages or something, let me know and I'll do it, I often do this stuff when I'm bored but this wiki has almost 16,000 pages so finding articles in need of the stuff is hard.


 * P.S Haha good xD Yeah, I guess someone has to start, but it's still weird, especially when you're me who doesn't normally initiate the convo, other than saying "hello" out of courtesy.


 * P.P.S Yeah, I know, but I keep leaving it out by habit.. I normally don't think much about it when I add the signature, so this stuff happens, sorry about that xD

 * Hello! I did a lot of the actor boxes, how many are there in total? Just asking. I'll try and set the GIFs right later on, but I doubt the downloading will work, because my Firefox is weird.


 * I added the infobox template, and change IMDb name to nm, like you said. I suck at assuming nationality, so for the most I just edited that out (I assumed one to be Irish, though, by the name). How is it?


 * Cheers, and thanks for giving me work and replying! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 12:45, January 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * Okay! I'm currently trying to deal with real life work, well, actually just trying to figure out how to tell my parents I'm redoing year nine by next week and then some other school things that are a bit time-consuming, but I'll see to the actor articles whenever I have the time.


 * I won't be around as much in February, 90% of my family has it's birthday in February [internal screaming], so I might have a short term of inactivity.
 * As said, I'll see to things whenever I have the time, and I'll be around in the chat, though mostly afk.
 * Decided to tell you this so you don't think I've forgotten or it's too much work xD


 * See you around! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 21:05, January 23, 2019 (UTC)


 * Random additional fact: I added something in Wizarding idioms. What do you think?


 * 민태준  -  슈가 ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 22:09, January 23, 2019 (UTC)


 * I guess I get your point, I was just confused because I saw them a lot, and they kept popping up all over the place.


 * I'll see what more I got to add on the Talk, but I'll just use this place to answer to the thing with the religious things: I can't say the same for the people who are perhaps viewing the Talk, so I understand the personal answer xD But don't worry about it with me, I'm apatheistic, so I don't really care about religion or whether it's true or not. The only time religion makes me angry is when people force it upon me, so I really appreciate your consideration.


 * Sorry if this message was kinda pointless, I just wanted you to know that you don't need to worry about offending me. Cheers! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 16:49, January 25, 2019 (UTC)

RE:Inquiry on Spanish publishers
Hiya Sam! It's a pleasure talk with you. I've read your message in my page, and at the beginning I couldn't understand very well your question, but then I've realized that at least you wanted to know the history of our publishers. The thing is that, as our spanish version of Salamandra says, at the ending of the 90s Emecé had opened a new brach of its publishing company in Spain. Then, that brunch that opened in Spain was acquired by Salamandra and became the first Spanish publishing company having the rights to publish Harry Potter in Spanish (the rest of Emecé in Argentina was acquired by the publishing Grupo Planeta, but Emecé is still publishing books, as you can see here. It seems that Grupo Planeta supports them).

In addition to this, and with those links you gave me, Emecé had the possibility to publish the first three books because it was linked with Salamandra (my friends in the spanish wiki still having some books published by Emecé). But, when it was acquired by Grupo Planeta, it lots the rights. For that reason you only can find the first three books and that's all. I think that's the whole history. I have to say that I'm not very sure of all the details, but you can ask Matías and Héctor for more information.

Nowadays, we only have Salamandra as official for the spanish version of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts (today I could buy the screenplay of The Crimes of Grindelwald in english. I could also see that there are some spanish versions of the merchandise of Fantastic Beasts by the company Harpercollins en español. I have The Case of Beasts: Explore the Film Wizardry of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them under its publishing company). As you can see in my page, I'm from Argentina, Tucumán (north), and I have the southern cone version printed in Spain, that's the 5th edition printed in 2017, (I've never seen other versions than Salamandra and Harper Collins with the Harry Potter covers, maybe that's a matter of country, because we are very different in some aspects of our language) and the hardcover version is the first printed version of the seven books that remains mistakes on the translations, e.g.: I can see that, at that time, the translators didn't translate Auror in its plural equivalent Aurores, remaining its original version (Aurors). This also happened with the words Galleon and Espejo de Erised (its spanish equivalent has to be galeón and  Espejo de Oesed, but this last one was something that the translators didn't notice); when the paperback version came out, it still had the same mistakes (Salamandra only corrected the species of the different types of birds and owls.

Finally, when the 20th version of Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal came out in spanish last year, those mistakes were corrected with the terms used in the films and in official translated sites. I don't know if with the other countries happened the same. I have the first printed version in of the books (Salamandra) because I always wanted to read them in that version; and when the 20th anniversary version of Slytherin of the 1st and 2nd book in english came out here I bought them just to have some of material for practicing in summer holidays.

Well, that's all that I know. How I've said, you can consult my friends for more details. They are older than me by far (well, Matías just has five year more than me) and they know more things for sure. I hope I have been helpful with your question. You know that you can count with me for everything you need. Greetings from Argentina. <3--LeFences (Leandro) (talk) 02:58, January 24, 2019 (UTC)

PD:I have to say your links are very interesting. I don't know if you know this, but I am a student of english with an aim of having a degree in the linguistic area. This research is very well done and I'm considering to present it in a english "asamblea" (the "asambleas" in spanish is a meeting of all the english students in the faculty in order to present their researches, projects and expositions of anything. It doesn't matter if is a investigation about something in spanish, the unique condition is that you present it in english).


 * That was nothing! It's a pleasure, and it's very curious for me too why they didn't corrected the paperback version, but I have a hypothesis: as the first book came out, many translator didn't know how to deal with the new terms and words. Finally, when the first film was premiered, the translations were revised more painstakingly and those terms and new names and words were corrected (actually, a translator can't touch the proper names of things, but they agreed in adapt those names with the spanish grammatical rules. In the case of Aurors, they had to add the plural suffix es in the consonants -l, -r, -n, -d, -z, -j, -s, -x, -ch).


 * Finally, if you have asked yourself how we transcribe the quotes of our articles, we sometimes transcribes the dialogues from the films, and sometimes we do it from our books, online pdfs and from the europe spanish version too. We have to include both latin american and europe spanish varieties.--LeFences (Leandro) (talk) 23:21, January 24, 2019 (UTC)

RE Images
Hey! So the general "rule" or convention is that it is better to have some canon image rather than none. That way there is at least some canon representation reflected and, if the image is of poor quality, other editors are aware it exists and may be able to find a better version. This has been especially true with hard to access images such as those from or. This guideline covers both the examples you gave - if we have no other sources to work from, use whatever is available from the canon.

A warning for images lacking Summaries would be very useful. Unfortunately, FANDOM changed Special:Images to make a pop-up form without for Adding New Images, instead of linking to the full Special:Upload so it's hard to fault anyone for not filling this information out these days (as they are not even prompted to do so because of FANDOM's design choices). If you want to draft a warning template that links to editing the File of concern that would be great - otherwise I'll see if I can put something together this week. I'll also look at seeing if the bot can identify images without summaries to perhaps automate these warnings (or possible removals) on a regular basis. Keep up the good work! --Ironyak1 (talk) 01:09, January 27, 2019 (UTC)


 * The issue with those images in particular is not really about them being low-quality, but rather that they were pulled from a pirated copy of the film, which makes their Fair Use status rather tricky. So while the justification given doesn't really line up with establish practice, the end result of removing those images is the same.


 * I've done an initial scan with the bot of recent images and the vast majority are missing the Description info so something is going to need to be done (or the clean-up needed is just going to keep getting worse). It'll probably include notices to users with links to each File neeeing info and then considerations of which are unused and can be safely deleted and which are worth updating by hand. Any related thoughts or ideas are welcome! Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 02:24, February 2, 2019 (UTC)

Help
I need some help. You know I'm in the chat a lot. Well, there's this user, Wikiatastic, who's a bit of a nasty piece of work. I took pictures of it now, but she actually once made a new account just to vandalize my profile and cause me trouble. From the beginning she posts rather disgusting things, like decorating Christmas trees nude, and other inappropriate things. It was okay in the beginning, and it piped down after I gave her an earful for it, but it continued a short while after and became a bother. It's honestly annoying. I admit I don't treat her nicely, but I mainly do so in the hopes that she'll get the message. She clearly does not get it, however. I've told her multiple times that I don't want anything to do with her, but I know leaving the chat will only result in her either waiting or joining when I'm back.

I know you're a content mod, but I don't know if the admins will respond if I ask them, and all I honestly want is that she's banned from chat. Isn't there anything I can do? It's trouble.

Sorry for bothering you, and thanks for reading! 민태준  -  슈가 ( Inconvenience me here! )   14:01, January 27, 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry for my late reply! I didn't see the message because my FANDOM didn't give me a notification.


 * I've sent her my own message, (see this), and I hope she'll get the hint.
 * Judging by her behavior, she is beyond reason, but I will still attempt to make myself clear with her.


 * This doesn't mean I'll stop trying to work against her. I know other people in the chat, and it's possible for her to become their victim as well.
 * It's also possible she will take to vandalizing my profile in response, as she has done before with a sockpuppet account.


 * Thanks for the help! I reallly appreciate it, and again sorry for the inconvenience! 민태준  -  슈가  ( Inconvenience me here! )  0.61 Slytherin Crest Transparent.png 18:19, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

Re: Red links
Hi Sam! Just seen your post about wanting links to different things in the HP & Cursed Child cast list page. Sorry, I removed them as most pages I've seen before wanted them gone to tidy the pages up. I'll get on with adding these this week. Hopefully the formatting of the rest of the page has been tidied up for your approval :) Tomhumphreys123 (talk) 19:33, January 27, 2019 (UTC)

Duplicate category.
Hello Sammm, I have found an article which is a mistaken duplicate of another article. It is of an Unidentified Death Eater who duelled Arthur Weasley in the Battle of Hogwarts. The duplicate article is very short in length, whilst the original article is of much better quality; its image is superior, contains greater detail and is longer overall in article length. Therefore, the duplicate category really needs deleting, because the existence of both the same character is confusing. Thanks RedWizard98 (talk) 01:04, February 2, 2019 (UTC).

Barnaby gay?
Hey I watched a video of the Crushed side quest and saw that Barnaby was saying that they really liked [our player] and for that particular character, they were male, and Barnaby didn't eat the love potion infused sandwich, so does that mean Barnaby is gay/into guys and should be added to the LGBT list/page? I wanted to make sure before adding it in case I could be wrong. IlvermornyWizard (talk) 09:21, February 3, 2019 (UTC) IlvermornyWizard

RE Chat policy
Hey - yeah, the IRC is largely unused and the related policy has more to do with technical setup and issues than actual usage. With the web chat and Discussion options, at some point it'll probably just be deprecated entirely rather than merged with the Chat policy (although conceptually I agree they basically are covering the same activity, although we have no IRC mods to enforce the policy ;).

 * To be honest I should have looked a little more deep. But NVM. I don't think of you likr that at all. You have worked really hard to help this wiki. And I don't think it was rude of you to say that but when you put it that way, I after rereading your messages, it shows that they can be read from both perspectives. It's not your fault though. Reader's perspective. I read it as a factual information rather than anything else. Anyways, happy editting.

RE Short code list
Feel free to use that list as needed. Note that I put it together when I was first setting up all the short codes so it is out of date. While I can understand a new category such as Source templates could be useful, it also means updating all the short code templates to make what amounts to a subtle distinction (as Source templates are also Appearance templates). Not sure if the payout is worth the effort to be honest, whereas having an easy-to-access explanation of what each short code means seems more worthwhile IMHO.

Afshan Azad's birthday
Hey Sammm,

It was brought up in the discussions today that Afshan Azad was actually born in 1989, according to an Instagram post by her, but a lot of other sources (including the HP wiki) say she was born in 1988. Would you mind looking into this?

Thanks, Harrypotterexpert101  https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ursuul/images/0/0a/Council-icon-FANDOM.svg (talk) 15:35, February 12, 2019 (UTC)

Most people are in agreement that it's 1989. Is it ok if I change it?

Upload notices
Hey - when you get a chance, can you check this notice I've drafted for people who have uploads requiring and let me know if you see anything that needs improvement? The bot is able to generate the notices, but cannot post to User Talk pages as FANDOM has some extension hooks in place to prevent spam. As such I'll have to cut and paste them one at a time so would like a second pair of eyes to double-check the format and help make sure there is nothing I'll need to go back and correct afterwards. Really no rush & thanks --Ironyak1 (talk) 23:10, February 12, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback. I did find the templates a bit wordy, although I agree that some justification for the request does make sense and have added a small clause to that effect. I also find that Source and Licensing are the most important as hunting down the Source takes a lot of time afterwards, and Licensing is a Copyright claim which should be made by the uploaded (it really should be required at the point of upload by the system). While Categories should also be added by the uploader, at least those can be easily determined after the fact by any user.


 * In regards to the numerous actor images, it is part of why I am trying to get this notice pinned down. I think there needs to be some good faith effort at the point of upload before expecting others to correct the issues. At one point in the past, the number of images without Copyright Information reached a critical mass that we got a notice from Wikia and had to spend several days reviewing all the images and correcting over a thousand images by hand. I really don't want to go through something like that again! --Ironyak1 (talk) 00:55, February 13, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for bringing that script to my attention! It is definitely worth looking at if it will make sure at least the Copyright info is required for all uploaded images. I'll try to find some time to evaluate it. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 03:37, February 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * The script works for me - I just stuck in in User:Ironyak1/common.js if you want to compare setups (although your global.js looks ok at first glance - you bypassed your browser cache?) It requires you to pick an item from the Licensing dropdown in Special:Upload and Special:MultipleUpload before accepting your file(s) - pops up a little highlight box telling you to pick one of the Licensing options. It also enforces Licensing if you choose the "Add features and media - Photo" while editing an article. What it doesn't do is require Licensing if you use Special:Images - "Add New Image" so there is still at least one way around it. I also haven't played with any of the other options like allowing multiple uploads and such but it has promise. If you get it working let me know what you think. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 05:02, February 14, 2019 (UTC)

Moving images
Hey,

Since you had moved a few images, I suggest using this script so you can rename and automatically update images without having to manually update nor leave a direct. &mdash; MechQueste  talk  17:24, February 13, 2019 (UTC)

Actor pages
I saw the actor-page creating user is now blocked. There are still several of unedited pages, could you leave around fifteen-twenty of those untouched?

EDIT: I got a list of them, if you wanna know which ask me.

Thanks! 민태준  -  슈가 (Inconvenience me here!) 12:47, February 15, 2019 (UTC)


 * Can I explain in chat? I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'd rather talk there.

Potential fandom/Junk writing
Hello again Sammm, whilst going about editing today I happened to notice this newly created and unexplaine article created by a new user, called Skovboskolen School of Thots. Given the fact this article has been given no explanation to as why it has been created and it looks very much like to me it could be fandom or simply junk writing. The existence of such a school is not noted in any canon source I am aware of, and I also researched the word "thot"; it is an informal and derogatory noun which is used to describe a promiscious woman. If this article is indeed dishonest, it should definitely be removed, as using such language is rather innappropriate, I would think. Thanks RedWizard98 (talk) 12:57, February 15, 2019 (UTC).

Reporting vandalism/fanon
Hello Sammm, I have already messaged Ironyak1 about this, but this new user Molly Weasley 54, has written fandom in the article regarding the disintegration curse. Upon reverting this rubbish twice, they decided to leave a ludicrous threat that they would curse me if I were to undo their edit again. Even more absurdly, a polite message I left on their wall was reverted by them, simply with an angry face. I don't think this is a genuine account. Thanks RedWizard98 (talk) 14:48, February 16, 2019 (UTC).

CoS GIFs etc.
I know I'm probably double messaging you, but I'll just ask anyway since I'm bored out of my mind and I want something to do.

Have you done the GIF and Image sort from CoS yet? If not, I'll see to it, probably today. Should actually be prepping for History, but there's no use to that now since I haven't got any worksheets and essays to reread, so I figured I'll just look for FANDOM work instead.

Sorry about the confusion from my last message, and I'll be available in chat today to explain. I can only be online till 23 (11pm) CET, which is around nine hours ahead of you, so I hope I can catch you.

EDIT: I believe I got all the GIFs recategorized. Checking the other films now.

Cheers, and have a nice day! 민태준  -  슈가 (Inconvenience me here!) 11:50, February 17, 2019 (UTC)


 * Np with the help! I was bored and kinda felt a bit bad about not doing it when you asked me to.


 * I'll see to that in a bit, my schedule's clogged till Sunday. Gotta clean out and refurbish my room, will have a two night sleepover and dance event that will last till Sunday.
 * I also have to prep for some exams our wonderful teachers decided to set in inconvenient moments.


 * I've got a week of holidays after next week, so I'll have enough time then. I'll see to the images once I have the time, but I probably won't be able to do anything more than dpost and chat mod till Monday.

RE:Duplicate category.
Yes, I figured that was it, but no harm done. I think it's standard to refer to people from the US as "American" in English so it seems unnecessary to disambiguate, IMO (United Statesian? haha).

At any rate, I've been away for around a month, so I'm just catching up. Anything important happened while I wasn't looking? --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:49, February 18, 2019 (UTC)

Survey
Hey there Sammm! As I am in the Community Council, I am interested in gathering feedback on what makes Fandom so special as a company. You are being contacted today with some survey questions on what you think makes Fandom a great place. This is research for a blog I am making on the Community Central Wiki. Here they are:

1. How do you view Fandom as a company? Do you feel that they support you enough as a Content Moderator?

2. What kind of technical updates would you like to see in the future? What features would make your job easier?

3. What feedback do you have on the recent Discussions updates? Do you think they were helpful, not worth the time?

Thank you for taking time to answer these questions!

Quick chat
Hey Would you mind to join me in the chat? I have some technical queries. It won't take long. Reverb frost (talk) 07:39, February 26, 2019 (UTC)
 * Well this is my first vote on HPW so I don't know what to do? I mean I do know that I must contact one of the admins to open the vote but when is the right time to do so? Like when sage applied for chat mod chat mod recently, she had no against votes and her appointment was fixed without a formal vote. In my case i have less for votes but still no against vote. Also no admin has replied yet. So like I don't know how to proceed with it and neeeed your guidance.
 * Also I understand your position. But I have always been a fan of one on one convi. Where you ask instant questions and get instant reply. And I also don't understand the system of leaving your messages open where everyone should be able to read it. I mean I have got nothing to hide but doesn't mean I like it to be made public. XDDD. That's why I usually call everyone to chat. Hope you understand me as well. I mean I respect the system just don't understand it. And i get that talk pages are more comfortable for you and next time I will try to ask you here only. Hope I am not coming wrong here. Reverb frost (talk) 01:37, February 27, 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. It more than helpful of you. I hope your packing goes well. XDD. Now it is true that I'd want this vote to move ahead a bit fast because the purpose of this vote was to be voted in the transition time. Thanks a lot once again.
