Infobox
Hey, Seth. In the Actor infobox template code, the word "in" in the "In Harry Potter" cell is all-capped. Since the page is locked, can you or one of the other admins fix it? -- Cubs Fan (Talk to me)  02:35, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hogwarts headmasters
Hello. I´ve read your article about the architect of Hogwarts. Do you think that we should create an article on the first Hogwarts Headmaster mentioned in the source? And what about Slytherin´s Portrait in the Headmaster´s office? Is it still cannon? See Talk: Salazar Slytherin.--Rodolphus 15:18, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Given it´s stated that Headmaster Portraits are hung in the office, I´d say that it isn´t cannon.--Rodolphus 19:09, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hello Seth
Hello Seth,

I've read quite a few of the articles you've created or edited and think that they are really good.

Ministry of Magic
Hey Seth, I noticed that of you go to the tab on the left side of the screen, and you go to "Organisations", then you see "Ministry of Magic", which redirects to "British Ministry of Magic". Can you fix the redirect, since I do not know the link to it? Thanks.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 22:00, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Master of Death
The page lists Ignotus Peverell as a master of death. I understand that he did not fear death, so he had the attitude down, but as he never mastered the 3 hallows, does he count? See:Talk:Master of Death. Thanks, --JKoch (Owl Me! ) 05:50, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was also curious about this! I added the personification of death to that list too, since clearly death would have mastered death, just in case he's not merely a literary reference since it was never established if Dumbledore's theory was right or not. Ty 09:22, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Grammar
Did you and User:Starstuff go through some kind of reversion war about the whole s's > s' > s's type thing like with Dean Thomas' relatives? Trying to learn more about this now, here Chicago says either's okay in which case I figure fewer characters is better but then you have Elements of Style and Canadian Press Stylebook saying you can only end in apostrophe for... Classical/Biblical proper names and 'common phrases'? Found that rather confusing, it seems like a complex field of study. Does it differ if we're talking about last names like Thomas or first names like Albus or place names rooted in plurality like (Hog)warts? What I just thought of is to check what Rowling uses in her books, I can't recall off hand but it'd be a good thing to go off of, so long as she's consistent. I'm not really sure how to check something like consistency though, that'd require some way to digitally search it. Picking out things from the first and last book might be the best way to check if she ever changed it I suppose, though possessives don't always stand out since searching for a person's name doesn't always appear in the possessive form =( Hm. Ty 09:22, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I actually just borrowed all the english books from the library to read them. So basically the format is only to drop the s after the apostrophe when it is plural. I regret I already sort of tried to make it consistant for removing it in the possessive for all Harry's mentors (Albus'/Severus'/James'/Remus'/Sirius') though I get confused with family names that end in s, but I guess if that is plural there would be an 'es'. Like if we were talking about the Thomas family's surname I would say "The Thomases' surname". Ty 13:08, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Minister for Magic infobox
I was wondering if you were still thinking about deleting the Minister for Magic infobox, because it is pointless to still have it when it is not being used. Thanks.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 01:22, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Birthday
Guess whose birthday is today?! I'm back by the way!!!! Also would you mind sayin Grouchy Birthday? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!! ) 12:38, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

RE:RE:Birthday
Thanks Seth!! I got blocked by Cavalier One for a month for not listening to his warnings about several stuff. Thanks again!!! It feels great to be back!!!!

Question
Is there a way to do the TL thing (ie reflist) with stuff in brackets like references? --JKoch (Owl Me! ) 22:21, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, could you take a look at the dialogue for the Horace Slughorn section of Lily Evans. It was originally horribly misquoted and badly formatted. I fixed it to the best of my ability, but I think it may be a little off. Thanks, --JKoch Ravenclawcrest.jpg(Owl Me! ) 23:11, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

I get a lot of questions about how to properly source an article. Is there a way of making show up? I mean the actual text. If you don't look at it in source, you just see the citation, but not the text that creates the citation. Do you get what I'm saying? --<font face="Times" size="4" color="Black" >JKoch (<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="1" color="Red">Owl Me! ) 21:49, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Rewrite request
Hello Seth. As you may know, I´ve created an article about Homework some months ago. Can you please have a look on it and rewrite it if it´s necessary. I also need help with the sourcing (I´m not very good at it) and I may have missed some information. Thanks.--Rodolphus 13:10, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

DYK
I noticed on the DYK archive that there is a redirect in Ron Weasley on the first one. I would appreciate it if you fixed it for me if you fixed it. Thanks.-- L.V.K.T.V.J. ( Send an owl! ) 01:11, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
