Question
I have a question. Can I put on my userpage that I have Autism. Then people understand me more. How do you think about this?--Station7 21:00, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Fleur Image
There are 3 links from various Potter fan-sites that got sent the images directly from WB. That one is the correct version. The other version is a photoshop. The user who uploaded the original, that I kept on trying to replace (I think it was Pol_187 or something), has uploaded a few photoshopped images before. I know he doesn't speak English very well, but I do think he needs a reminder. Thanks. Jack5555 20:52, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * So... have you done anything about this yet? Jack5555 20:25, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! BTW, he uploaded more photoshopped images, and I corrected them, then he told me not to. Jack5555 22:44, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cav. First of all I'd like to apologize for my recent changes that were against policy. I didn't realise that they were against policy and I'll take great care not to do so again. Second, I think there should be a second vote on the image to use for Fleur's infobox. There's a new image in her talk page that I think would be suitable. I've also set up a blog post about it, and between that and the talk page, everyone who's commented so far has been in favour of it. Mr. Mortimer, 21:36, 19 December 2010

Mr Mortimer
Hi Cav, nice to see you again. I warned Mr Mortimer about not following the image policy a few minutes ago, but he's continuing to upload images without applying the template, or adding categories. Perhaps you could talk to him. Cheers. Jayden Matthews 20:09, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Article Comments
Thanks for fixing my forum post. I hope this temporary change won't upset everyone too much-it's reversible, so please don't worry about deleting comments everywhere-they will automatically disappear when we disable article comments. Let me know if you have more issues. Thanks so much for your help! -- Kacie (talk ) 19:45, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Talk pages
Hi, Cav! I saw your answer to Jayden Matthews about the replacing of the talk pages with comment boxes so I wanted to tell you that: I found out that the talk pages are not away. When you write Talk: before the article than it is again there. But that is much more uncomfortable as it was before. Harry granger 19:48, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, it's not permenant. That's OK then, though I still think the community should have been alerted to the change beforehand. Also, you probably noticed already, but I sorted out Mr. Mortimer. He wasn't deliberately ignoring the image policy, he just didn't know how to fill out the template. I explained it to him. Jayden Matthews 19:53, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a problem, he meant no harm afterall. Another thing I've been meaning to ask you is - are there any plans to customize Wikia's "new look" on this site? And if not do you want me to have a go? Or is HP Wiki "moving" Jayden Matthews 20:12, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool. I can always be working on it while the giveaway is taking place. That way, when it ends they'll be something to present to the community. I hate it too, especially the reduced article width:( Jayden Matthews 20:22, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Question
I saw a few new userpages recently created, and I'm not sure what to make of it:


 * User:Yard7296
 * User:Mai1116
 * User:Taka7296

They seems similar to User:Yard's page, supposedly an Admin from the Japanese HP wiki. I'm not sure what should be done about this, if anything. - Nick O'Demus 22:21, November 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm having trouble deleting comments on other pages. The option to delete isn't coming up, and when I click on the link to the specific comment, it just takes me to the main article. Am I missing something? There are 4 by User:Ihelpcrazys1217 that need to be deleted. - Nick O'Demus 23:53, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Doh
Hey, can you delete a page for me File:Monosodium Glutamate.png‎ I was trying to upload an actor pic, and I uploaded the wrong pic before I realised it.....pretty please, and thank you! --BachLynn (Accio! ) 00:16, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

vandalism
User 68.45.236.207 had done some serious vandal to 3 pages, I've reverted the vandalism and warned the user, but I wanted to give you a heads up. --BachLynn (Accio! ) 00:42, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hangon and I'm on other wiki's so don't think I ddon't know any thing, But I'm having some trouble an was wondering if you could help me, my http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/ has different coding than this one, If you try even editing a user page or any thing, it shows different text tools at the top, Please help me :( 14:13, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

upload
so i can't upload any pictures or animated pictures that i like on google? if they aren't harry potter illitrations?

Hello!
Sorry, Didn't realize my profile wasn't on here. I talked with Kacie and she said you were really interested in getting affiliates. So I have been doing some marketing on behalf of Harry Potter Wiki, specifically for the contest but also for regular affiliates. If you would like to find your own affiliates thats fine. And in regards to the email I was going to have you all take it over. Just wasn't sure who was top dog or muggle rather :) Anyway, let me know the verdict. Babyjabba 01:07, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Visibility
I agree with all of those actions. --JKoch (Owl Me! ) 16:03, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Recent rise in new users" is right; we've had as many new registrations in the last week as the last 3 months combined. But yeah, increasing our visibility and working closer with some of the other major fansites would be great. And having affiliated FaceBook and Twitter sites to channel some of the more "social" editing couldn't hurt. - Nick O'Demus  20:13, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * These are all GREAT ideas! We would love to help you get this plan in motion. -- Kacie (talk ) 23:43, November 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree as well! --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 15:30, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Deathly Hallows Review and Picture Pages
Cav, I'm going to add a Deathly Hallows: Part 1 review page and a picture gallery page so people can post reviews and pictures tonight after the premiere for an extra giveaway entry. Where would you like those two pages to live on the wiki?-- Kacie (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:45, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Missing Character Page
Hey, so I've been editing through some actor pages, and I noticed that Freddie Hogan is mentioned as playing "Terry Skeres", but there isn't a page for this character yet, it's in part 2 of the Deathly Hallows, I was wondering if you know if we have any more information regarding this character yet? Also, eventually down the road I'm hoping to make admin, I was wondering if you had any ideas of areas I need to improve as a HP wikia editor so maybe someday I can be an admin.... --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 18:47, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Link Buttons
Hey Cav, I uploaded these but I'm not sure what kind of licensing you all want on them...I looked at the options and it made my head hurt :P I havn't put them anywhere yet, I just need somewhere to house them so sites can come grab em. By the way, any headway on affiliates stuff? Babyjabba 23:56, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Affiliates
Hey Cav, We are up to 4 affiliates so we really need to get a page up, so that they don't change their minds. It will only take a second and you can discuss it and change it around all you want afterwords. Anyway, please let me know the plan so I don't leave these people hanging. Babyjabba 21:15, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Comments/Talk Page edits
I've been gone for a couple of months, so what's with the "Comments" that are supposed to be talk page edits and that little bubble with the numbers in it atop articles. Thanks, --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 02:40, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Template:1st
User:Arusbeck177 made a recent vandalism edit to the 1st template. Yatanogarasu already reverted it just a bit later, but "HARRY POTTER RULEZ<3" is still showing up wherever the template is applied. Does this need to wait for the next data cache to clear out? Also, will deleting the template and then recreating it fix this? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 07:06, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, it stopped doing it. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 09:45, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

A second opinion
There are a couple of new articles I'm not sure are worth keeping: Unidentified male Durmstrang teacher at the Yule Ball and Woman at Wedding of Bill and Fleur. It's one thing to have articles for unnamed extras who have a speaking part, play a prominent role in a scene, or at least have their actors positively identified, but these seem to be too far into the background. I'm not even certain if that "Durmstrang teacher" actually IS supposed to be from Durmstrang, and while the woman's actress is listed as Annette Elstob, I'm not so sure that's her in the picture on the article. I'd like a second opinion before removing them, so what do you think? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 12:12, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can I give my opinion ? If they don't have a speaking role in the movies or they have no significant importance the article shouldn't be kept about them. AznPride112 12:17, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Assistance
Hi, user 86.145.92.21 has posed some pretty big discussions on the Killing Curse page and the Unidentified Curse that Bellatrix used against Sirius in the book, the talk pages are getting pretty heated. Also as much as this user seems to quote policies, I'd also like to note that so far this user has only made numerous edits to talk pages, which I don't need to tell you is also against policy as he has made no edits to actual articles. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 17:20, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Multiple accts.
Hey, I think User:Bulgaria 2002 is a second acct for User:Radu Nichifor. Even though both have made few edits, both have been warned of Fanon regarding the fictional "Radu (last name I can't remember). Check out Bulgaria 2002's edits to British Ministry of Magic and compare them to Radu Nichifor's edits to Bulgaria and Rubeus Hagrid.  Thanks, --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 20:40, December 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I asked Wikia to run a checkuser on and, and their response was: "The two users do indeed match one another, but they don't match any other users." Both accounts created the Death Of Cornelius Fudge article, and both accounts received Fanon warnings for it. You also recently gave Awesomeman222 a 3 month block for vandalism. What would be the best course of action? Should both accounts be permanently banned, or should both accounts be given a temporary block with additional warnings on the multiple accounts policy? - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus  02:52, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Image upload
I'm sorry, I didn't know there was an Image Policy...Where do I go so I know what to do so I don't do it again? <font face="Vivaldi" size="4" color="#007000" >*Luna (<font face="Vivaldi" size="2" color="#007000">Talk ) 15:40, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Enodoc's User and User Talk Pages
For some reason, Caio1478 has, as his only contribution to this wiki, decided to create my User and User talk pages on this wiki (and in Portuguese, no less). While I have nothing against this wiki, I would be grateful if you could delete them as I do not plan to contribute here.

Thanks for your time, 82.153.221.6 (Enodoc, not logged in) 13:37, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Explicit vandalism
Please take a look at what was just done to the Gellert Grindelwald page. 12.51.4.122 15:55, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting
Hi, Cav! Perhaps you can help me. I tried to delete the page name: Charlie Weasley from my user page under the "following pages", because this page is now named Charles Weasley. Charles Weasley is in, but I can't delete the old Charlie Weasley. I use Mono. Is that the cause or what can I do? Thanks in advance for your help! Harry granger 17:28, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thank you very much. I tried it and it does function. Thanks again. Harry granger 18:27, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Page Deletion
Hi, I just noticed in the wiki's recent activity that this page was created by a wikia contributor. I believe this doesn't belong in the wiki at all, and should be deleted. It's about some Harry Potter RPG site or something. Thanks. -- Texthawm  | To          Click Here  21:52, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the advice on the image thing, but.. which image did I upload? The only image I ever uploaded was one for my user image. Could you tell me which image was uploaded by "me"? Sorry If I did something wrong, I'm a rookie, and I don't know much about the rules. I just read some lines from the privacy policy, but nothing further. Please send me some advice, so that nothing like this happens again. Thanks again, InoSakuraConflict 23:03, December 19, 2010 (UTC).

Film Wizardry
User:NevilleismyHERO came to me asking about the canonicity of Harry Potter Film Wizardry. I just noticed it being used as a reference on the page Mafalda Hopkirk. Do we know if it was a licensed product, or had any JKR input? --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 04:20, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Frustrated
I would like to know why you guys continue to mention Harry Potter being released in the 90's.

In 1990, J. K. Rowling was on a crowded train from Manchester to London when the idea for Harry suddenly "fell into her head". Rowling gives an account of the experience on her website saying:<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Harry_falls_into_author.27s_head_44-0">[45] "I had been writing almost continuously since the age of six but I had never been so excited about an idea before. I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up in my brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who did not know he was a wizard became more and more real to me."Rowling completed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1995 and the manuscript was sent off to several prospective agents.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-45">[46] The second agent she tried, Christopher Little, offered to represent her and sent the manuscript to Bloomsbury. After eight other publishers had rejected Philosopher's Stone, Bloomsbury offered Rowling a £2,500 advance for its publication.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-46">[47] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Ivory_Tower_2_47-0">[48] Despite Rowling's statement that she did not have any particular age group in mind when beginning to write the Harry Potter books, the publishers initially targeted children aged nine to eleven.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-48">[49] On the eve of publishing, Rowling was asked by her publishers to adopt a more gender-neutral pen name in order to appeal to the male members of this age group, fearing that they would not be interested in reading a novel they knew to be written by a woman. She elected to use J. K. Rowling (Joanne Kathleen Rowling), using her grandmother's name as her second name because she has no middle name.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Ivory_Tower_2_47-1">[48] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-49">[50]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published by Bloomsbury, the publisher of all Harry Potter books in the United Kingdom, on 30 June 1997.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-50">[51] It was released in the United States on 1 September 1998 by Scholastic—the American publisher of the books—as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-51">[52] after Rowling had received US$105,000 for the American rights—an unprecedented amount for a children's book by a then-unknown author.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-52">[53] Fearing that American readers would not associate the word "philosopher" with a magical theme (although the Philosopher's Stone is alchemy-related), Scholastic insisted that the book be given the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the American market.

The second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was originally published in the UK on 2 July 1998 and in the US on 2 June 1999.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Harry_Potter_UK_Release_Dates_53-0">[54] Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was then published a year later in the UK on 8 July 1999 and in the US on 8 September 1999.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Harry_Potter_UK_Release_Dates_53-1">[54] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was published on 8 July 2000 at the same time by Bloomsbury and Scholastic.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-54">[55] Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the longest book in the series at 766 pages in the UK version and 870 pages in the US version.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-55">[56] It was published worldwide in English on 21 June 2003.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-56">[57] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was published on 16 July 2005, and it sold 9 million copies in the first 24 hours of its worldwide release.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-57">[58] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-58">[59] The seventh and final novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published 21 July 2007.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-59">[60] The book sold 11 million copies in the first 24 hours of release, breaking down to 2.7 million copies in the UK and 8.3 million in the US.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-60">[61]

Moved page
Someone moved Neville Longbottom's first wand to Frank Longbottom's first wand, his reason was that he thought that the article title should be that of the original owner, but even if that's the case it would have been Frank's only wand (not first), but I was always under the impression that it was called Neville's was because it's first identified in the story line as his wand and there's never a reference to Frank using it. --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple" >BachLynn (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="2" color="Purple">Accio! ) 15:14, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Dear Admins,

I don't know who is doing what and who is still active here so I am sending this to all of you. There are a few users, mainly BachLynn23 and Rodolphus that keep changing pages here with untrue facts. I have amended the Slytherin Quidditch Team page with the info that there are no female players, as Rowling states so a few times in her books and in several interviews, on the team. I also took out the spoof names in the list on the right hand side.

Two minutes later that Rodolphus changed it, I corrected it, the user changed it. It is not right that fans and those seeking correct information get mislead on here with names that were created in a fanfiction or the users own mind and may think it happened making a fool of themselves with other fans during discussions.

I have messaged the user and asked to please stop but they did not react and just amended it again. Even putting on some of the pages "Spoof only" but this has now been taken out by BachLynn23.

Maybe you can make sure the page is correct and then have it so that no one can edit it anymore, or do something about this? I am a Harry Potter expert and know every fact that is given us from the books and the great athors interviews therefore I don't really think it is nice to have false information and made up people on here.

I hope you can take care of this in one way or another as I won't continue editing as I am not in kindergarten or pre-school and most certainly those users appear to be as they re-edit true information with false and misleading information.
