Lavender
Sorry. I didn´t want to undo the vandalism. We worked on the article at the same time. The article is correct again, finally.--Rodolphus 12:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Shut it!
Hey Shut Up! I can spam and vandalize if i want!

Lavender Brown vandalism
That person's been at this for weeks now. Check the history of the Seamus Finnigan page and see. They always go after Seamus, and characters closely related to him such as Lavender and Dean. The problem is they use a slightly modified IP address each time, so blocking won't make much difference. - Nick O&#39;Demus 16:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ronald Weasley vandalism
Just a head's up, this isn't the first time this guy's done this. Currently, they're 142.68.105.50 (previously 142.68.98.216, Iamkes, 142.68.98.157, and142.68.98.1).

They follow the same pattern every time: they go through a character's article one section at time, "dumbing down" the wording, cutting down characters' names, removing pictures, subsituting certain phrases with anagrams, and sometimes misdirecting the pipe links.

You can see on Iamkes' talk page that Seth Cooper previously tried to point out the editing guidelines and warned them against ignoring the policies. He also recently blocked 142.68.98.216 when they started doing it again (check the History of the Harry Potter article to see what they were up to yesterday, they were at it for over 6 straight hours). - Nick O'Demus 07:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The problem is, as soon as they get done with one article, they move on to another. Between the various I.P. addresses listed, they've done Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Remus Lupin, Rubeus Hagrid, Sirius Black, Minerva McGonagall, and Antonin Dolohov. It's not like we can give every character article on the wiki semi-protected status just on account of this guy. - Nick O'Demus 07:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, yes. I'd hoped they'd quit last month, but now they're back and they've learned how to change their I.P. address. I just thought I'd let you know what to watch for in case you see this sort of editing happening on any other articles. - Nick O'Demus 08:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Minute of silence
I had also considered whether it would be possible to lock down the site for a minute. However, I think the spirit of the minute of silence is to let Jayden know that he is in our thoughts, and I think that can only truly be achieved if people consciously set aside some time out of their day. Also, the Protect site function page states that it is intended as a "last resort method" for "circumvent[ing] persistent spam or vandal attacks," so I'm not sure the Wikia staff would activate it on this site for the purpose of observing a minute of silence. Thanks for the tip though. :) ★ S t a r s t u f f (Owl me!) 14:37, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Forgot to mention this earlier, but Seth Cooper put up a very nice message about the Moment of Silence in the Wiki's Site Notice. Just thought I'd let you know. - Nick O'Demus 07:07, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Some Help
Hi, Ive been told you know quite alot about Templates and coding and such. I require some help of yours. I was wondering about If-Then-Else statements in wikicode. Ive saw that in certain infobox templates there are things like I am guessing for colors. I cannt seem to find any documentation about If statements in wiki. I was wondering if it possible to use if-then statements to stop redlinks. let me explain. when a page has the template in use, it adds a link to the page's talkpage, but sometimes there is no talk page, so it leaves a redlink. I was wondering, if in the template code, you could use an If-then statement to have it give a link to the talk page, IF there is a talk page, but if there is no talk page, it was just say 'talk page'. I would really appreicate your help. Thank you. Also, Merry Christmas. 04:57, December 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information. It really helps. 05:16, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Also
Also, just being curious, but what did you do when you changed your /monaco.js. Dont mean to be nosy. 05:07, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Dont mean to bother you again
Sorry to bother you again, But I wanted to ask you about something. I have been trying to learn more about templates and parser functions. Right now, I am trying to learn how the #switch function works. As you can see Here and Here, I am trying to make the code:

To display the (result1-5) in a sentence like 'What is (Result1-5) Last name?'

I cannot seem to find out what I did wrong. Could you please help me figure it out. I am guessing it is a simple mistake you can point out to me. Thank you so much. 07:02, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I Knew i was overcomplicating it. 07:21, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Yet Another Question
I was wondering if you knew a way to view the Special:Editcount as raw. You see, Im trying to make a edit goal template/userbox, and Im trying to make the code work, but it wont if the Editcount has a ',' in the number. Here:

Template Page:

The part I am having trouble with is:

Then you would put:

Because the Editcount page returns the count as a number with a, like 1,234 the #expr wont accept it. I have no clue how to make it raw without the ,. I hope you do, because Ive been trying to find this out for Hours. I dont know if you can help, but I would be ever so greatful if you did. 23:55, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Grunny. Sorry to bother you, but, I have a request. Would you please rid the Harry Potter Wiki of this buffoon, once, and for all? Yesterday I gave him his tenth warning regarding his determination to lower the quality of this site by replacing info box images with ones unrelated to the subject. Two of his warnings came from Seth Cooper, and were supposed to be his last. Alas, his behaviour has continued unpunished, and, I've reached the end of my patience.

Could you back me up in telling User:Wizard44 that over-specification reduces the quality of the wiki. For example, a paragraph will have a character's full name, say Harry Potter. So every time "Harry" is used throughout the rest of the paragraph, it is understood who is being discussed. Wizard44 likes to go through and add full names to all of the uses. It makes for disjointed reading. I have already asked him to stop, but he has not. You can find this being done is you look athe histories of Charlie Weasley and Pomona Sprout.

Vandal
User:Rupert cockhold, while not only having a disruptive username, has used vulgar on his talk page. Can you block him? Thanks,-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 01:15, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Blocked. Forgot to reply earlier, but this was a cross-wiki vandal. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 15:17, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

New Potion Ingredients
Some unregistered user just created 7, I think, articles of supposed potion ingredients. I could only place one as being mentioned in the series. I tagged them with Articles needing Verification. Could you look at them and see if any ring a bell to you? --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 04:53, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Welcoming
Thanks for the welcome, but that was an edit of my old account that got wrongfully banned after an issue with a troll. I don't plan to stick around. John Canavi 04:22, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Unspeakable
Sure, but I'm probably going to be busy catching up on other things for a while at first. I'll also be gone from the 16th-21st of this month, visiting family. I might be able to be more active as an Unspeakable around the beginning of July. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 09:18, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Vandal
After multiple warnings this user continues to add his own mini succession lines to articles that already have succession templates. user:174.50.74.173 --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 23:41, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Unspeakable Review
I was wondering if you could review some of the greatly improved FA nominations (Peter Pettigrew, Second Wizarding War, and Elder Wand specifically), and is there a process for getting rid of some of the bad nominations like Argus Filch? Thanks, --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 17:40, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll try to review them soon. I've started a vote to remove on Argus Filch and Aurora Sinistra, they just need another Unspeakable to vote to remove on both and they can be removed. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 05:49, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, just point out to Seth that those need to be rid of and he'll join you in voting them off. --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch Ravenclawcrest.jpg(<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 06:01, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

New blog policy in effect
As per the vote on the proposed blog policy, I am pleased to say that the new policy is now in effect. Users have one week to retrieve any work they want from the blogs. After that time, feel free to begin deleting blog posts that do not adhere to the new rules. I'll be conducting a massive sweep of the pages soon myself. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 11:26, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Isn't there a policy, which says you can be disciplined for not editing in the mainspace, b/c there is a user User:KallieLynn21 who has 187 edits and only 2 in the mainspace of the wiki. --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 23:24, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is at Harry Potter Wiki:Editing Policy. I have asked the user to contribute to our articles more, continuing to edit mainly their user page will mean the user page will be locked from editing. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 23:33, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
