 * Oh that is no problem, At least you are working on the articles. Really, the Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger Articles need a lot of work. It is because since they are big articles, the small mistakes are quite often overlooked. 21:29, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

RE: hermione Granger
Ahh Ok. Thanks 06:26, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

The one with the Newspaper? Yea, I changed it back to the original one up there. 06:34, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * To my knowledge, she hasn't given any interviews recently, and any interview with that kind of info would be all over the fandom by now. Accio Quote is one of the best reference sites out there for interview transcripts and links. The ones in 2007, just after Deathly Hallows came out, have some of the best information. I especially recommend the "Bloomsbury Live Chat", "J. K. Rowling at Carnegie Hall", and "PotterCast Interviews J.K. Rowling" parts 1 and 2. - Nick O'Demus 08:03, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Unidentified Lethal Curse
It looks like Jayden Matthews already reverted it. By the way, have you considered asking for rollback privileges? It useful for reverting multiple vandalism edits. - Nick O'Demus 11:16, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Vandal
Yes, go to a Admin, type this on Search Harry Potter Wiki and maybe one of them is online. Look at Home and you see of they are online. --Station7 21:47, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Because of his vandalism on your page, section Favourite Page looks horrible. If I was you, I would removed, with == and then the name Favourite Pages == as new section. So remove and then change the page. It's just a suggestion, it's your choice.--Station7 21:59, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Viktor Krum
Harry certainly, maybe Ron, Cedric, Fleur, and Karkaroff too, if only a few sentences each. to be honest, most of the "Relationships" sections in the Wiki need a lot of work.

Re:Marauders
I'm not sure if they ever used the term themselves, but Hermione refers to them as "the Marauders" in Half-Blood Prince, when Dobby tells them about Draco using the Room of Requirement. I think JKR has also called them "the Marauders" in interviews. - Nick O'Demus 08:57, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Spring Semester
It's an error that crops up occassionally. Some people just forget that, for example, the school year in Chamber of Secrets takes place in 1992 AND 1993, or they might get confused about when during the school year certain events take place. It's definitely something to keep an eye out for. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 09:02, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism
There's not much that can be done about "hit-and-run" vandalism, where some anonymous IP pops in, does one or two vandal edits, and then most likely never posts again. For registered users and persistent vandalism, you can add warning templates to the offender's talk page, and inform an admin so they can block the user if necessary.


 * fanon - for users adding fanon to pages or creating fanon articles.
 * vandal - for relatively minor vandalism, or generally unhelpful edits.
 * vandal2 - for persistent or major vandalism, such as vulgarity, profanity, or explicit material.
 * last - for repeated and deliberate vandalism, make sure you inform an admin about the user's actions.

RE:Ghoul Studies
Yes, I know that (I was the one who created the "Ghoul Studies" article). However, to be featured in an article, an individual/creature/place/object/whatever has to be mentioned on a canon tier.

RE:Possessives
No, I don't think there's an actual policy concerning that, but the usage of -s's in proper nouns (as in "Sirius's bike") has been conventioned on this wiki, and is prefered for consistency's sake. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 02:40, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Patronus
This happens every once in a while for articles with conjectural titles. The existing article is fairly complete as far as information, but if you think your title is more descriptive, start a discussion on the talk page and see what some of the other users think. If there's a consensus, it can be redirected.

Oh, and sorry about not getting back to you on the month pages thing. I was working on something else and it completely slipped my mind. I think it's fine to list some of the key events, although I've usually paid more attention to the year articles myself. But if you think you can improve them, by all means do so.

And you're welcome. You've earned it.

Yes, I see Jayden has a problem with that, that I have addressed him on. 22:56, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think in order to be considered an alias, they have to use the name themselves at some point, but as far as I know, there isn't a set policy on it. This is something people have been going back and forth on for a long time now. Maybe it's time we voted on settling this either way.

I'd recommend starting a forum topic, something along the lines of "Proposal for Infobox Guidelines policy". The existing Character infobox family guidelines policy could be expanded to include the proposed changes too, as well as any other suggestions people might make. Give it a day or two for discussion and suggestions, then move forward the vote. You can look at Forum:Past/Present tense? and Forum:Vote to change the Wiki's Canon Policy as examples. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 07:21, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

 * I've finalized the proposals in the "Alias" policy forum discussion. The vote will officially begin in 24 hours to allow for any final recommendations.


 * BTW, if you don't want to delete it outright, you can hide the ranting further down by placing   after them. That will hide them from view so that they'll only be visible when editing the page. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus  10:09, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Marauder Map Edit
In reply to your message: I think I read it in a book, but I'm not sure of it. I think Harry was trying to trail Draco with the map, and there was a mass of students in the room Draco was in and the dots must have gotten smaller as more kids filled into the room.

Thanks, TwilightPrincess_1

When you were setting up your home page, there are subsections of where you put your favorite characters, etc. How do you create those, if you don't mind me asking?

RE:Period placement
Checking on the web, I found this: "The British style of positioning periods and commas in relation to the closing quotation mark is based on the same logic that in the American system governs the placement of question marks and exclamation points; if they belong to the quoted material, they are placed within the closing quotation mark; if they belong to the including sentence as a whole, they are placed after the quotation mark." So, I guess in that case both are acceptable.

 * While we're yaking about grammar, I also found out that the usage of a comma before and in a series is optional: "Most business writers prefer to use the "serial comma" before and in a series of three or more items. For example, "I like carrots, broccoli, and succotash." Most newspapers, however, omit the comma before and.
