Very nice images, where did you get them from? If possible do you think you could get the close up of the Dark Mark? At any rate excellent work.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 14:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for uploading so many useful images. In the future, please remember to include licensing when you do (on the upload image page, there is a specific menu that allows you to select 'screenshot', for instance), and to add categories afterwards. Thanks. Oread 19:21, 16 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Again, please remember to include licensing when you upload an image. There is a dropdown menu on the Upload page right below the Summary section. Most of the images you are uploading seem to be from the movies, therefore you would choose 'screenshot' under 'fair use'. There is also an option specifically for when you have received permission for the image. Thanks. Oread 17:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry to keep pestering you about this, but you upload many great images but keep forgetting to add categories for them. Please try to remember to add them when, or after, you upload images -- there are categories for just about every character, location, event, and film. Thank you. Oread 20:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Hermione Granger
Thanks for your recent addition of images to the Hermione Granger article. However, please keep in mind that when an already-present image is of good quality and contextually appropriate, it should not be replaced. A new, equally valuable image can always be added somewhere else or fit in with some adjustments. Also, while it is true that images should not be overly large, some have to be a little larger than others in order for them to be clear -- the image of Slughorn's Potions class, for instance, needs to be relatively large in order for a viewer to make out who is even in it.

I'm not offended, and I'm sorry if you've taken any changes I've made (or reverted) personally. I assure you that it was not intended that way. The Hermione Granger article is one I've done a lot of work on; when I first came onto this site, it didn't have a relationships section, personality and traits section, abilities section, or many images and quotes. It's one I've done a lot of work on. As a result, I probably am a little more vigilant about it, and I apologize if this comes off as high-handed. Most of the editing I've done recently is removing incorrect information (e.g. somebody changed the year of birth to 1981), or improving my own edits.

With regards to your edits, they have always been valuable, and the best articles tend to be joint efforts. So why don't we discuss it to see on what points and why we disagree? I'll explain some of my reasoning for the changes I made, and perhaps we can find a compromise.

1. Removing spaces
 * This is something I learned from older users. They tend to prefer that paragraphs not be too small or that there be blank lines between things such as main text and coding for images. Intros, especially, are rarely more than two paragraphs.

2. Image sizes
 * If I recall correctly, I expanded the one of Hermione and Draco and of the Potions class slightly (because I didn't think you could see Hermione very well in them when they were small) and the Centaur one. On second thought, I do agree with you that it's too big, as well as perhaps the one of Hermione with Harry and Ginny at the table in the Great Hall.

3. Image selections
 * I removed one image of Harry and Hermione because (1) there was already a similar image there to show them being alone, and (2) you could only really see the side/back of Hermione's head in it. I think I also changed the fourth year image back to one just showing Hermione in her Yule Ball dress, and moved the one of her and Viktor dancing to their relationship section. Generally, I find it preferable if relationship images show the relationship to some degree, rather than just the character in question, and I thought it would be repetitive to have two images of them dancing in the article.

4. Main quote
 * I restored the quote to what it was before. Just to let you know, most users tend to want there to be a discussion if people want to change the main quote or main image (e.g. over the main image for the Ginevra Weasley article, there was a vote on the talk page). More specifically, though, I didn't think it was necessary to include "oh, Harry, be careful!" at the end. That part of the quote pertains to a specific part of what is occuring in the scene in which it's said; it doesn't add anything to how the quote illustrates Hermione's character, at least in my opinion.

Please let me know your thoughts on these matters. Oread 23:28, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Founders
Hey Patr0nus, to things. Firstly if an image does not fit in the infobox at 250px please don't force it as you did with all four founders, as this results in the images being distorted. Secondly when possible we always use images from the films over any other source, which is why the image of Salazar Slytherin's painting goes in his infobox rather than the Wizard of the Month image. So please don't change those images again, thanks for listening.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 06:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Cedric Diggory
Firstly, I will admit to be protective of this article. I worked hard on it, and I make sure that it adheres to the highest quality since it is one of our Featured Articles. But in response to your "You seem hostile to allowing change to this page" statement, I offer the following rebuttal: I did not remove the "Legacy" section you added since it is a good addition. The quote change at the head of the Little Hangleton Graveyard section was not removed. The parts I removed were for a reason, which I will explain here. The addition of the picture of the Hufflepuff seeker from PoA was removed because the books take precedence over the films; the book has no mention of his getting hit by lightning, meaning that it did not happen. As you state on the talk page, you wish to add the film to his appearance list. I would not oppose that, as long as it is marked with a "Possible Appearance" tag, and the reasoning clearly explained in the Behind the scenes section. This would also be an appropriate place for the image, not in the main article body itself.

As for the "no quotes in the middle of the article" - I believe they break up the flow of the article if used in the body, and should really only be used after section headings. The breaking up of the paragraphs was unnecessary and broke up the flow of the beginning of the article in terms of presentation. Lastly, I removed the part about his presence at the World Cup campsite because it is speculation. Speculation is not allowed in articles on this wiki. I hope this answers your questions. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 19:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Prefect
Congratulations on being made a REAL prefect. Jayden Matthews 15:02, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've done my practise week as one (patrolling the corridors etc;) in 6 weeks time I start my duties. I get a cool new school tie now aswell, instead of a grey and green stripy tie it's a nice green with a crest on it. :D Patr0nus 15:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool! Do you have to make a speech? I remember at my old school new prefects had to make a speech in front of their whole house, saying what they were going to bring to the school etc. Jayden Matthews 15:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Fortunately for me, I was away for a week on a Geography trip when that stuff went on so I missed it. :D Patr0nus 15:24, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, good timing or what. Jayden Matthews 15:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Death Eaters
Hey Patr0nus, sorry to bother I just thought I'd better explain about the Death Eaters. That article on IMBD was based on the discussion Forum:Unknown Death Eaters and is incorrect. Please see Forum:Incorrectly identified Death Eaters for more information. Thanks :D Jayden Matthews 10:13, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
