 * Nominator: -- Sa  X   on
 * Nomination comments: I have recently rewritten the Irma Pince, Pomona Sprout and Filius Flitwick articles and finished rewriting Hooch the other day. I believe it is of sufficient quality of a featured article.

Object
 * 1) Seth Cooper:
 * 2) * References. The article needs to be completely referenced. Furthermore the few references presented in the article are extremely brief and do not convey many information.
 * 3) * Speculation. Some statements on the article are somewhat speculative. Hooch being in Hufflepuff, for instance.
 * 4) * Quality of the quotes. The quotes are filled with links and the explanatory notes (the material between square brackets) shouldn't be italicized. Also, quotes from the narrator should be credited as "Description" and not as if a characted has said it.
 * 5) * Some sentences are extemely unnecessary and seem to be only in the article to make space for more and, (I should add) redundant links. One such example is: "and excelled at her Flying Classes in her first year, which was taught by the Flying Instructor." Seriously? I thought they were taught by the Potions master... --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 16:33, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) BachLynn23:
 * 2) * I don't see how the quote used at the beginning of the School years section, is relevant to Rolanda Hooch.
 * 3) * Shouldn't it say that she "may" have purchased her wand from Ollivanders or that she "probably" did? Just because most purchased their wands there, doesn't necessarily mean she did also.
 * 4) * In order for her to have been in school with Albus Dumbledore, she had to have been born between 1881 and 1899. Assuming she graduated at or before the Great War which took place between 1914 to 1918 in the real world.
 * 5) * Should there really be a picture (the one where everyone is raising their wands) on this page, if Rolanda isn't in it in the picture and it is only assumed that she participated in the battle?


 * 1) *I've changed it into what I believe is a better quote.
 * 2) *I've added "may have purchased". It is possible she bought her wand from other wandmakers such as Jimmy Kiddell, or even Gregorovitch.
 * 3) *Where is it claimed in the article that Rolanda and Dumbledore were classmates?
 * 4) *The picture is merely there for illustrative purposes. The picture is more suitable than, say, a image of Hooch in 1991. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:44, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
