Re: Scholastic site
I think we normally consider it full canon, but can you give me an example of something you have in mind? (BTW, you may want to consider another archive; this page is getting rather long again.) ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:37, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * That sounds like great info, absolutely! Could you send me a link to where it says all that? Just one to the bit about the vampires will be fine, I can find my way to the rest from there. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:43, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * "Door-unlocking spell" isn't capitalised. Haven't checked the other yet, but the words need to be capitalised for it not to be conjecture. The vampire stuff is still fine, though. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:49, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * If Scholastic's site is the only official reference for that naming, I'd say, yes, we should go back to Rennervate. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:53, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there may be some mistakes, but I think we can still safely consider the general info canon. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:02, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations!
You were sorta inching toward it, but you're finally there. Nice job! ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:48, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Renaming
If there seems to be strong support, then I'll see about renaming. If there's only one or no response, then I would prefer to leave it as no consensus. If you have an opinion on any of them, however, you might want to weigh in as well. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:09, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, there! I was thinking if I could ask you to give a look at the "Did You Know...?" nominations page, so that we can feature some new ones (quite frankly, the ones we have on the Main Page haven't changed in ages!) --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 18:50, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Fraction
When in editing mode, there's a little toolbar with thinks like "bold", "italic", "internal link" or "redirect". The right-most button of that bar is a plus sign saying "more". When you click it, a box saying "Wikitext shortcuts" will open with some Wiki markup and Symbols. The only fractions available are the following: ½ ⅓ ⅔ ¼ ¾ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 20:18, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Limited Edition/Picture
I know, I know, that's me dressed to the nines! :)

Anyway, I do not know what may be the problem -- I downloaded the file alright, and had no problem in seeing the pictures. Try to download it again, it might've been just an error. You never know! --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:14, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have no idea of what's happening, and do not know who might help you; as I said, it worked alright for me. Sorry I can't be any more helpful. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:24, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I had the same issue when I tried downloading it in Firefox. The problem is that it only downloads a portion of the file and then for some reason the download gets interrupted. When I tried downloading in Internet Explorer instead, I had the same problem, but unlike Firefox, Internet Explorer seems to be capable of recognizing the correct file-size from the start. So if it says that the download was interrupted, you can click to resume. So if you were downloading in Firefox, try downloading in Internet Explorer instead. That may just sort the issue. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:00, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, exactly, that's what happened to me too. What happened is that you're not getting the whole file. If you check the file-size of what you downloaded, I think you'll find it doesn't match the file sizes listed in that post. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:09, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Just keep an eye on the download-- if you have my experience, it's still going to be interrupted in Internet Explorer, but the trick is to just check in on it every couple of minutes or so and if it says that it was interrupted, hit resume. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:13, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * One of my downloads just failed, even in Internet Explorer. I'm trying a different file right now. Anyway, I still have a few ideas on how to get around this problem, so I'll keep you posted. If push comes to shove, I may just take my laptop into the library where I work tomorrow and see if I can manage the download there. They have super-fast download speeds, so I may be able to get it before I get cut off, and if I can do that, then I could re-post it somewhere that would be a bit more reliable. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:28, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, I still couldn't get it. The ones I've been able to successfully download so far are Environments Envisaged, Harry Potter Page to Screen, The Creative Shop Companion, The Paintings of Hogwarts & Wizard Wear and Muggle Attire. I'm going to try the others again tomorrow at the library and see if that does the trick. If not, I still have a couple of other ideas. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:27, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Lockhart and Wikia Stars
Lockhart is the one who sponsored the big Valentine's Day event in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He decorated the Great Hall and sponsored the idea of the Dwarf-delivered Valentines. Hence, I thought it would be funny, in conjunction with Valentine's Day, to make the homepage into the "Gilderoy Lockhart Wiki." And the remainder of the decorations, as well as the "Sneaky Lockhart" overlay graphic, are courtesy of Seth Cooper. As for Wikia Stars, it's a new program Wikia is doing where they highlight certain users. I don't yet know all the details myself because it's very new, but they'll be asking me some questions for an interview, and it'll help with highlighting things related to the Harry Potter Wiki, such as the upcoming chat (which, by the way, has been featured on Wikia's entertainment hub.) ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:11, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you can find it highlighted here. I actually finished my reading on it earlier today, so I'm good to go. But so long as you have it read before the chat, no worries, right? Like I said, it's probably better to have it somewhat fresh in your mind for the chat. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:19, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Chat
Ah well. Truth be told, the only people that showed up were me, Nick and a couple of Wikia staff. So even if you had been there, it wouldn't have been much of a chat. I was thinking, perhaps we could restructure it as a forum discussion? We could post the questions in a forum post and everyone could post their responses and then we could discuss it further if people wanted to. Sorry about your laptop, but good to hear it's fixed now.

RE: Susan Bones
In some cases, usually where the character disappears from the film series fairly early, we'll use pictures from the later video games as it's a more recent depiction of the character. (It's the same on Colin Creevey's page.) - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 23:31, February 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's really more of a long-standing editing practice than actual policy. I remember there was some discussion about it a while back, and using the most recent depiction was the general consensus, but I don't think it was ever actually formalized. So if you feel strongly about it, you could start a discussion on the talk page about changing it. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 23:44, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Unactive User.
I don't think there's a need.

I'm Belac Reteet. That's a good question. Since ghosts are born in the irrepreble form of what they looked like when they died in their previous lives, I don't think that should affect their current status. Catch ya later!belacreteet (talk) 01:03, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Active Talk Pages
Thanks for the heads-up. I've made a start on working through some of them, and I'll have a look at more tomorrow. Honestly, I don't really think it's all that many, given the size and scope of this wiki, but it is good to keep discussion going where possible. Anyway, you may want to have a look at the one's I've done so far, just to make sure there isn't anything else that needs to be said. Should be in the recent history.

Mortals
Hey Hunnie Bunn! I'm Belac Reteet. No hard feelings about ghosts, but I may need your help. I lost yet another debate with Professor Tofty and Nick O'Demus regarding the living dead, but that's over and done with. The problem is; I decided to do something against which Prof. Tofty can't argue by making a category page for mortals. But he deleted it. I don't have proof yet, but I know he did it. He's hated my guts ever since that falling out we had over category additions. The only problem is; I've done nothing illegal, and therfore have a case to argue. If you could vouch for me, I'd really apreciate it. Catch ya later!belacreteet (talk) 17:54, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Original Research
As far as using a character's start date at Hogwarts to determine birth year, that's not original research so much as basic math. It's stated several times that first years start at Hogwarts at age 11. To my knowledge, there has never been a stated exception to this. Tracing back, this gives TWO possible years of birth. For example, anyone who started in 1991 like Harry would have to have been born between September 1979 and August 1980. Since the source for their age comes from within the canon, it qualifies as a valid reference (although this would still only apply to characters known to have attended Hogwarts). However, those characters should not have the "Year births" categories added unless the age could positively be narrowed down to at least one of the two years.

The main issue in the Living Dead discussion was in using information from outside the Harry Potter canon and applying it to their "in-universe" versions. While in other fiction and folklore, eternal life and/or undeath may often be associated with vampires, it has not yet stated to be the case for Rowling's versions of them. Now, it's possible this may change if new information is released in the future (possibly through Pottermore), but until then we should stick with what is currently in the HP canon.

As far as the page merges, I'd have to take a closer look at them and any discussion that may have occurred before I could give you an answer on that. I'll try to get to them later on. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 00:02, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

New template
I like the general idea, but I'm not really fond of the phrasing, which some could take the wrong way. Perhaps it would be better to go with something more like the standard warning templates, something like:

Thank you for editing at the Harry Potter Wiki. We ask that, when editing, you remember that the actions of other users should not be taken personally, unless they have specifically directed a personal attack against you. Over time, the Harry Potter Wiki has developed many policies and we all try our best to make sure that the quality of the wiki remains within those policies. Therefore, if your edit was reverted or otherwise changed, or someone disagrees with your position, it might be best to take a moment to relax and remember that editing is made with the goal of maintaining the best encyclopedia possible. If you still have any concerns, you may bring them to The Wizengamot, but please respect the decision of the community.

We might also consider linking to. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:26, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good. Keep me posted. P.S.: If you have a few minutes, could you take some time to vote on the Quote of the Week? I've been working on it, and I'd like to get some more people to vote. All you have to do is vote yes on those you think would make a good choice and no for those that you don't feel are good choices. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:40, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for making the template, which I've now categorised. Hopefully we don't have to use it too much. And thank you also for voting the Quotes of the Week. I went ahead and corrected the vote totals-- sorry, I should have mentioned that. When you make your vote, you add or subtract one from the total listed in the header. As for the song, I wasn't familiar with it, but it quite nice. And that's neat that one of your friend's relations is the lead singer. This here is one of the tunes I find most relaxing.
