DADA Storeroom and Unidentified Teachers
Hi Seth! I have looked at your Defence Against Dark Art's Store Room article, and I have noticed you have kept the article's name with the grammar mistake. However, I think this article should be renamed Defence Against the Dark Arts Storeroom. I know it is misspelled in the game, but if you see the translation in other languages, you can see that it has been corrected and was just a mistake.

Besides that, I would like to ask your opinion [about my project on merging unidentified characters. I'm trying to do it with Unidentified Hogwarts employees, and at the moment I've merged the PS teachers. I will continue with the others, but I'd like to know your opinion before it, as I may be doing pointless work. Please do not hesitate to make suggestions or to make any neccesary changes. Thanks, --Ravenclawcrest.jpgThe Evening Prophet Ravenclawcrest.jpg (Owl Post ) 12:23, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

PS: It's an honour for me to write in your new talk page :D, but I warn you that an unidentified vandal (86.163.2.174) has left me an unsigned message. It was when he tried to put the noncanon template on the Entrance Courtyard, whereas I reverted it... Yes, he is the one who you have recently been writing to (regarding the Bellatrix, Viaduct, Courtyard... articles).
 * I know it is the only English name, but are translations canon? For example, if we have a cover of a French official Harry Potter book, can the illustration be used as an infobox image? If so, we can assume that looking at the other versions, the Art's is just a mistake. We should write the articles in an apropriate style, grammaticaly correct. --Ravenclawcrest.jpgThe Evening Prophet Ravenclawcrest.jpg (Owl Post ) 22:31, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism
Greetings, Seth

I have just found that a person with the IP of "96.237.25.109" has been vandalising Buckbeak though thankfully I have just reverted the edit. For this reason, I think you ought to do something about it and at least give him a temporary ban of one week or something because he can't have expected to vandalize like that and not get punished for it and if we let him go, he might go even further and vandalize more. You can even check the list of edits made to the article of Buckbeak (Right now it is second from latest edit). Once again the IP is 96.237.25.109. Hope you do what's better for everyone.

Resurrection Stone
Hello. You seem to be the only active admin. So...I suggest we put the Resurrection Stone page and Marvolo Gaunt's Ring page together because that are pretty much the some thing. Weirdo Guy (talk) 05:55, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

hi seth

i did added some videos and pictures to the page Harry Potter Puppet Pals last night. but when i came on today and checked the page it was gone do you now anything about this group of missing pictures and videos.

thanks

~scottyb100~

Yes. But it is a bit odd to make a separate page for one object. You can just put the Heading 2 and put what information needs to be known. You don't need to make a different page. Remember: a page can be as long as you want it to be. Weirdo Guy (talk) 17:19, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

hi seth cooper

well i really bad with harry potter and im begging for your help, well what i have to do is write a newspaper article that might have appeared on the front page of the daily prophet the day after harrys family died.

Im Desperate please!!!!

Please read than respond.
I have always wondered whether or not wizards and witches could augment or even enhance their physical attributes using magic, and I'll admit, I am a mild fan, though in spite of that, I understand Harry Potter quite well, and I know most, key word 'most', everything about it, and I was wondering do you happen to know if they could accomplish such a feat with magic...

Template preloads
Hey Seth. I have written a temporary script that you can use if you feel it would be useful to have the preloads working in the new editor for now. It adds the dropdown underneath the Preview and Publish buttons and will work as it did in the old editor. I'll add the custom template preload later. To use this add importScript( 'User:Grunny/infoboxpreloads-neweditor.js‎' ); to your wikia.js. Let me know if you have any issues with it. :) Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 14:36, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Article deletion
Hello Seth Cooper. When it's convienant for you could you please take a look at what I wrote on the "unidentitfied lethal curse" article. As the new DH: Part 2 trailer shows Molly striking down Bellatrix with the Killing Curse I feel there is no longer any reasonable justification for keeping the article.

Your opinion
Another user has taken it upon themselves to delete the content of these articles and redirect them.
 * Counter-jinx, Counter-curse, Counter-charm, and Untransfiguration‎‎ to Counter-spell
 * Hex, Jinx, and Curse to Dark Spell

Also, another user keeps vandalizing Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000 broomstick.

They did it again.

Hey Seth. I was windering since you;re the only administrator I know online atm, could you do me a favour? Some spells on the wiki are listed as transfigurations when they're actually charms.

Blog policy
Hey Seth. I try and do a sweep every couple of weeks, but it has exploded of late. Basically, I generally open Category:Blog posts and go through each one in turn. Some I leave if they are useful, like linking to the fan fiction wiki, or the rpg wiki since they serve as useful redirects. I also leave the staff ones (by Bchwood, Kacieh, Babyjabba, Kate.Moon and a few others since they are used for promotional purposes on Facebook and Twitter). Generally, any that state "OMG Hary Potter rulez <3" (that was painful to type) or the like get culled, citing the blog policy in the delete. If you want to go ahead and cull them, be my guest, or I can get to it in about an hour or so.

Hi Seth,

Hope you've been well. Quick question for you- wanted to make sure you were aware of Wikia's new Chat feature. We were hoping the HP Wiki would start using it this month.

Please let me know your thoughts on this as soon as possible. I left Cav a message as well.

Thanks,

I know that this is asking a lot and quite irrelevant here, but I asking a favor of you, dude, could you unblock a user by the name of TomWellingishot, who is from Smallville wiki, who somehow got blocked from logging in and or editing until August 5th, as she has done nothing, I repeat, noting at all, whatsoever. Some bad user called Cloisfan1 has the same IP number as her and they both got blocked for what he did, thanks. Also, she is TomWellingishot, a girl user, who has never ever done something to deserve getting blocked, so please, help this poor girl out. -- ImperiexSeed, 2:55 PM, July 7th 2011

ImperiexSeed told me what you said, and I think you misunderstood. The block won't appear on my contributions; I wasn't directly blocked.

Hi seth In regards to the Hogwarts Express Conductor there are a few things that I know that are not true..I have tried to correct these things but every time I go back they have been put back??how do I fix this??

HI Seth thanks for the fast response!!

Well I have gotten to know a few of the guys who play the Conductor and they have told me that per Warner Bro guide lines they are not to say what House they are in so Conductor is Not a hufflepuff!! he is also time less there is to be No lateral content from what is in the Books so He would not have met Sirius Black while at Hogwarts..

he also did not start with the Train in 1978 as there is to be no time line with the Conductor... this Info is small and not that big of a deal but it drives the guys nuts as they went through some major training for the role of Conductor..so just a few things I wanted to help correct..

Thanks again

Found some Vandalism
I recently found that the content of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (video game) page had been wiped out and replaced with a single line by a user with the IP of 90.50.106.200. I've reverted the edit (manually because I had trouble finding "Undo", but have now found it for future use) but I thought I'd stop by here and inform you of it. (Revision comparison) Ordona 22:53, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Spell types
Ok, so: recently I've been engaged in a discussion with Nick O'Demus about the status of some of the pages at this wiki and he recommended that if I disagree on any of them I state my case to either you or Cavalier One. So this is me, stating my case.

The main thing is the classification of spells in the Harry Potter universe; there are a number of terms relating to spell types and when I first arrived at the classification section on the spell page a list of the the different spell types is all I saw, no description or anything. Hence, whilst expanding it I gathered all the spells of the Dark Arts like curse & hex into one group (under the heading Dark Spells) and all the spells with "counter" is the name into another called counter-spells, hence that 4 type system of classification was born. It was simply for clarity. "Dark spells" was a term already in use on this wiki (as a section in the Dark Arts page), hence its use as opposed to a completely different title (I didn't use Dark Arts/Magic because those terms refers to other things than just spells). However, Nick disagrees with this classification because he believes it is "original research" and has hence deleted the Dark Spells page and changed the classification section of spells so that it merely lists the terms again, which is less helpful considering the actual classification expanded on the definitions of the various types.

Nonetheless, whilst I see where he's coming from I think this an erroneous action to take and I see no problem with grouping the dark spells under that title. Yes, I know its not an actual canon title, but it is close (at least, the use of the adjective dark to describe spells of that nature is canonical, which is what jinxes and the like are - spells that are dark) and it collates all the information on Dark spells into one, neat area from which one can follow the appropriate links to the sub-types (hex, curse etc.). Basically, I think its cleaner that way and I don't see why it shouldn't be used, as long as it is made clear that the title isn't canon. It also discusses the differences between the dark spells, which is important IMHO.

The counter-spells page also should exist for this reason as well as the added fact that it contains the discussion on the definition (or lack thereof) of a counter-spell (e.g. -charm, -curse, untransfiguration etc.) which is important information, which would otherwise have to be needlessly repeated on every one of its sub-types' pages.

Thanks for taking the time to consider my case and I hope to hear back from you soon Green Zubat 18:16, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I never wanted to merge the countersub-types & dark spell sub-types into one page (e.g. counter-spels and dark spells), I just wanted to keep them both. Also, I recognize that this grouping has never existed prior but is that really problem, as long as its made clear that its a fan-made grouping? After all, they are spells associated with dark magic (and therefore dark spells...). Btw, Nick's complaint was never about the counter-spell page, I just added it because it seemed pertinent to the discussion (since it was created under the same circumstances as Dark Spells).


 * Also, if we really can't keep the dark spells grouping then should the classification on the spell page be changed to just Transfiguration|charms|jinx|hex|curse|counter-spell then?Green Zubat 19:13, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I wasn't suggesting we remove the sub-types, I was suggesting the classification section be reformatted so that it loks like it did before, i.e. a table listing the names of all known spell types, with a brief description of each and some examples. Sub-types would be listed in the "brief descriptions bit". This is more informative than what we have now. Green Zubat 19:35, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Seth. This user moved her talk page to just "talk", and while I was in the process of moving it back she moved it again to "Harry potter talk", which means there is now a redirect which needs to be deleted before it can be moved to it's proper title.
