Forum:Skills standarization

I know I'm not the first to notice this, but some users have gone overboard on the bestowal of skills upon our characters. For example, last night I had to revert a user who tried to say that Fenrir Greyback was a "Master Duellist," when the text clearly shows that Greyback prefers to fight with his strength and brawn. Other examples that are more debatable: the designation of Harry Potter as a "Master Duellist," he certainly has skills, and bested many older and more experienced wizards, but "Master" is a stretch; the 23 skill list for Tom Riddle, many are redundant and some are quite questionable, such as "Lightning Spells."

I think we need to come up with some criteria as to how to designate skill levels to characters and what is and is not germane to the list of a character's skills. --JKoch (Owl Me! ) 19:40, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
