Edits by User:217.130.12.148
User:217.130.12.148 has created a lot of articles on minor characters today. All of them were in broken English, so I reckoned 217 is not a native English speaker, because a lot of the words were in Spanish or seemed to be badly translated by Babelfish ("Quidditch Glass of the World" instead of "Quidditch World Cup"). But then I saw the past block notices on the user's talk page and I figured an admin should probably look this over. Regards, -Starstuff 01:19, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

He keeps changing the blood status of Harry's kids to "Three- Quarter Blood," even though there's no such term in canon. Can you protect those pages until he stops? --Cubs Fan2007 21:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Dont protect the pages just ban him, he is adding material which he knows is false Ive already warned him. He has also made two nonsense articles Three-Quarter Blood, Three- Quarter Blood. - KAJ – Talk 21:58, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Kentish121
Hi Cavalier One,

Thanks for doing the edit to my user page. Just to let you know if you would like to talk to me please could you do so via the UK Transport Wiki as i am mainly active on there. Can you point me in the direction of an admin as i have an idea or two for the Main Page as i have some improvements that might be nice.

Re: Monaco Skin
I like the logo we have now. (The open book) haha. But I'm up for changing it. The one on you posted is kinda funky that its so blue though. :-\. I'm done with classes (still have a term paper & finals...but I have some free time now) so I'll hopefully fix those few little "bugs" that I see. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 14:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of the spotlight. OK I have the bugs worked out of my skin (I think -- it'll be a work in progress).  Should I put it up as the full Monaco and make it default? (On IRC at the moment...) PS you can check mien out at User:DarkJedi613/monaco.css -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! I'll put it up in a few minutes. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. Its up.  We have to change some of the colors on the main page to match (I'd suggest just linking to the classes so it'll always get changed together if we change colors...) -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * About the whole making the main page match thing, it actually does look really good. Look at the Jimmy Fincher Wiki main page. It kinda makes it pop- M a t o r o 183  (Talk  - Jimmy Fincher talk  <font color="#6596BF">) 00:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Right, well mostly I just meant make the blue bars into the dark red. I don't think we should go too overboard with colors. A white background is never bad. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * First off, the main page looks awesome! Fits in beautifully now. As for changing the background color, I'm reluctant to do that, but if you really want to we could do a light gray.  I think on the main page where it has a light blue background should become light gray maybe?  Also, the blue links look a bit out of place?  I'm not sure, what do you think? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 16:13, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Userboxes
Have you userbox: "This user using Windows XP"? I'm asking, because I want have this userbox on my userpage, or if you haven't this userbox - I'll do this userbox. And I am waiting for your answer. Karutalk 18:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And - what you think about my english level? Karutalk 18:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

AGF concern
Gryff23 has made a rather strong (and, in my assessment, completely unfounded) accusation regarding DarkJedi613 here. Do we have a policy akin to Wikipedia's AGF here on HP Wiki? -Starstuff 09:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Screen Capture
You had asked me about a program for screen captures. I actually realized the media player I use has a screen capture built into it. I use VLC Media Player. You don't actually have to install it -- there's an option to just download a zip file containing the program. I would take some captures myself...but I don't actually own any of the movies. Then once its running you just do Video > Snapshot and it'll get saved in your Pictures folder ("My Pictures" in XP). -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 18:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Page Errors when trying to Post new Forum disscussion

 * Sorry to bother you, but everytime I try to add a topic in one of the Disscussion forums either The Leaky Cauldron or The Wizengamot, on the site it has come up to a page stating 'Page Error' or 'Bad Title'. I can not understand why this is... Have tried visiting the site at a later time to try a post and have still received the same message/s. I have been trying to add a new topic for about 3 weeks with still no succcess. I am able to add to disscusion groups already posted but cannot start a new one.... any ideas why this is? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hermione granger (talk • contribs).
 * I'm assuming that when you get the "Bad Title" error you're using an acceptable title? It could be a site error or possibly from your browser. I know for a fact Forum threads have been added in the last 3 weeks. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 04:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No it is not because I have tried to post an unacceptable title. When I click on the button 'Add new topic' or ehatever it says a page comes up that says ~

''Bad title

The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked inter-language or inter-wiki title. It may contain one or more characters which cannot be used in titles.

Return to Main Page.

Dont know why this is... Have returned at a later time to post topic and same message appears so I dont think it is my internet connection. I used to be able to post disscussions.....??????


 * I have not even been able to type a topic in... the page comes up (as shown previously) before i can do anything...??????? 13:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I have fixed the problem. Not sure exactly what was happening but I have now fixed it. Thanks for all your help anyway. Hermione granger 01:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

IRC
I've tried (and failed) to get onto the IRC. Every time I click on it, I get the following error. The webpage cannot be displayed Most likely cause: Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed. What you can try: Search online for a program you can use to view this web content. Retype the address. Go back to the previous page. Do you know how to fix that? --Freakatone Talk
 * Look at Harry Potter Wiki:IRC and tell me what you think. We'll link to that in the site notice instead. (Originally at Wookieepedia. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Main Page
I got some ideas about what we can do for the main page. I'll tell you on IRC some day. Also we really need to update the "DYK" sections more often and encourage people to do that. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 23:53, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Or we can we use a submission system for the DYK if you want to keep cascading protection. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 14:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sitenotice is updated, I saw you're beginnings of the revamp of the CP. Uhh...yeah I made the IRC page policy too -- hope that's OK. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 17:00, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Uhh...so I just found a page: Harry Potter News. Which seems to be different than our Template:News.  I'm thinking the HP News one should get deleted and we only use the template?  What do you think?  I'll probably merge them all together into some sort of archive at some point. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 17:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks awesome! Now to get people involved with it... Anyway, I moved Template:Main Page/Featured article to Template:Featured article.  So now the only way to actaully mark an article as featured is Template:FA. I worked on making the coding on both the CP & MP squeaky clean, so...yeah. Catch ya on IRC. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 14:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Edits by Some muggle and Astroglider
They're vandalising the wiki like mad, and I can't revert everything fast enough. When you get this, it would be a big help if you could block them. I've given them both warnings to stop, yet they continue to do it. Thx. --Cubs Fan2007 01:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * All reverted, just so you know Cav. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 03:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you help
Could you tell me how to move my succession boxes up to the top of my user page? THanks Gryff23 02:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Policy
See User:DarkJedi613/Edits and User:DarkJedi613/User. The first one is editing policies. We can expand it to include what is considered good edits and stuff maybe? The second one will be a user policy (which I'm pretty sure we don't have here), including what is expected of users as well as what can go on user pages, etc. They're no where near done. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Editing Policy is in the main space now. I'm gonna work on user policy soon. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 03:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Check User:DarkJedi613/User again. Its mostly done I think. Any comments? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Canonocity
Hey. We need to have a discussion about what is "canon" and what isn't. I'm having second thoughts about some of it. Currently I have two sources of listing of what the HPW lists as noncanon: articles using Noncanon and. In my mind ALL of those should be canon of some sort. I think people are getting confused and thinking that if something is not in the books then it is not canon. This isn't true though. Everything is canon unless something directly conflicts it, and then its still should be noted and only that section is non-canon. Most of the articles marked as "Non-canon" are just things that appear in the films/games and not the books.

Unfortunately JKR hasn't given us what "canon" means (unlike in the Star Wars universe where canon has been defined by Lucasfilms), so we're kinda left to make it up. But we decided that canon would be every licensed source of information. I realize I'm kind of ranting...but I want to get this straightened out, maybe make it a project that I'll head. But I wanted to check my thoughts with you beforehand -- make sure I'm not going crazy. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Help!
How do you change the color in your signature? User: Freakatone helped me, but I'm new here and I really don't get it. Also, how do you get an Infobox? Please help. :( --Ginny22 20:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Prefects
hi, i just want to know, how do you become a prefect? and do other prefects give out prefect badges? Also, is it like a promotion, that gives you more access to the harry potter wiki? if you can give me an answer, that'd be much appreciated. Thanks.Skrox29 23:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Pages
I'm sorry to bother you, but you seem to be very good at this. I made the silly mistake of making a page that already exists without relising. I tried to delete it but I didn't know how to delete the page. The page is 'half breed'. Do you know how to? Cheers. Palmala

Thanks very much, I will bare in mind in future. Palmala 4 June2008, 16:21

WikiProject question
I was wondering what your idea was regarding the badge you plan to give out as part of Project Scarhead. My idea for the badge I plan to give out to members of Project Greasy Git is something along the lines of a custom infobox. If your idea is significantly different from mine, it would be handy to know, so that I can adapt my plans to be more in line with yours. Thanks! -Starstuff 10:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope that you don't mind if I borrow some of the ideas you're using for organizing Project Scarhead. Is there any difference in the process used to create a tempate in userpace? -Starstuff 11:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a thought...would it make more sense to have the project page under the project? I know it gets long but something like Harry Potter Wiki:Harry Potter Wiki Projects/Project Scarhead/Draft instead of on a user page? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 15:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

New Monaco
Wikia is changing monaco, trying to make it look more like monobook. Thus, the new monaco gets rid of the ad banner, and changes back to the old monobook logos. This completely eradicates our logo contest and the picture of Hogwarts at the top of the skin. Take a look at this. It looks cool, but we will also have to make some changes. The main page will have to be redesigned to match the ad box.<font face="Comic Sans MS" color="gray">- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#1874CD">M <font face="Microsoft Sans Serif"><font color="#404040">a <font color="#1874CD">t <font color="#404040">o <font color="#1874CD">r <font color="#404040">o <font face="Tahoma" color="#404040">183  <font face="Arial" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8;"><font face="Arial" color="#6596BF">(<font color="#404040">Talk <font color="#6596BF">) 00:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Uhh...well what are our thoughts about this? I don't think we'd have anywhere else to go, and we can't change the default skin then.  Any ideas?  Personally I need to see it before I can tell how much I hate it. Hopefully it won't go through. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure you've been following this. I was thinking about writing a reply but was thinking it might be good to write one from the Wiki in general? Any thoughts. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 14:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't really know how this stuff works yet so I just wanted to thank you for revising those pages I made. I only know how to put the information on the pages. You are really smart to know where I got that information from. Thanks again! Harrypotterfreak 22:21, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

That's amazing! Thanks again! Harrypotterfreak 22:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Project
Hi, I just signed up for project Scarhead. I was wondering do we just edit the page in general until it's good enough to go on? I was also thinking about working on the possesions and relationships sections mainly, is that okay? Cheers Palmala  15 June 11:13

Thanks 19 June 19:35

Many thanks
Hello Cavalier One - I very want say as I'm happy, because you're good admin and many thanks for your contributions to English Harry Potter Wiki - I think that your contributions for Harry Potter Wiki are very hard to value and you have invaluable contributions.

Muriel's surname
Hello, I have a one question for you, so: on Polish HPW we have got conflict about aunt Muriel's surname - Fattrice‎ think that Muriel surname is Prewett, but I don't believe in it, because as Rowling - Gideon and Fabian has been killed by Voldemort, and I don't believe that Muriel surname is Weasley. So, what you think - what's her surname? I'm asking because I've not already know..Regards and I'm waiting for your answer and for me it's very important really.. Karutalk 12:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Cavalier One: Many thanks for it. If you want, you can see talk page about Muriel's surname (only in polish, but if you want I can translate it for you). Karutalk 12:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Help!
Hey Cavalier! I've found proof that the Merope Gaunt, Tom Riddle, Sr., Hepzibah Smith and Hokey are indeed included in the film of Half-Blood Prince, but I'm having trouble getting the sources into the document. Can you help me get them in? The characters are mentioned in an article discussing characters in the film.

Merope Gaunt Riddle: http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=447&pos=22 Tom Riddle, Sr.: http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=447&pos=23 Hepzibah Smith: http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=447&pos=24 Hokey: http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=447&pos=21

Can you help me integrate these sources into the film's page or tell me how to do it? Thanks! Hero of Time 87 17:54, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Quirell's name
Hello, Cavalier One, few days ago I asked you about Muriel's surname. Do you know - what's Quirell name? I read sometimes, that Quirell's name is Slatero, but..I don't believie in it, and after my positives with talk to you I'm asking just you, because I think that you have big knowledge about HP series.

Snape's name
Good Evening. I don't know where from Snape's second name - Tobias. Do you know where from Snape's second name? On HPW polish we have conflict about his second name, so I should know where from Snape's second name (In the end I'm administrator). Regards Karupixel 17:14, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Fenrir Greyback image
Hi Cavalier One. I'm slightley confused as to why a small, dark, poor quality image that already appears in the article, is being used as the main image as opposed to high quality descriptive promotional headshot. If you could clarify this for me, that would be great. Cheers. Jayce Carver 16:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah, sorry. I thought it was a promotional photo from the gray backround. Should I ask the user who uploaded it where he got it from? So we can find out for sure. Jayce Carver 16:18, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Images
Few, It's been one hell of a productive afternoon. I've managed to upload a whole ton of images from the Half-Blood Prince, and a load of promotional headshots to use in the infoboxes. Check the images out in my sandbox and let me know what you think, cheers. User:Jayce Carver/Images.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 15:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Cavalier. Could you please delete my sandbox entitled Voldemort, cheers.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 14:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, more Half-Blood prince images! A very crazy looking Bellatrix dueling someone in the Great Hall, and Snape and McGonagall examining the silver and opal necklace.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 14:22, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm fuming over it. Before I forget, I've made a sandbox with some potential color combinations for any new infoboxes we might make. I've put it on the forum if you want to take a look.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 14:29, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

What's best
What would you say should take precedence. A full body shot promo, or a headshot that is from the movie, both from Half-Blood Prince? The reason I ask is that I've found a promotional still of Harry from HBP but it's a full body shot.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 11:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately it's not large enough to extract a headshot. I have been doing that though, with the Order of the Phoenix ones such as Lucius Malfoy and Sirius Black. In any case here's the image. I aslo got screenshots from the trailer, including Snape, the Carrows and Belatrix.  Jayce Carver  Talkundefined 11:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

uploading copyright photo
about the sean biggerstaff photos, yeah sorry about that i recieved them from a friend who told me it was not copyright when i found out that it was i made my way back to this site to delete the photos but you already did so thanks anyway. Sorry if i did this wrongly i don't usually go on user talk pages. From Slytherin7thyear
