Serpentine Corridor
This brings me to a question I'm not sure how to answer: where is the Serpentine Corridor and the Ghoul Studies classroom located? We know they're apparently adjacent to both Classroom 7A and Classroom 3C, but how can they be on the third and seventh floor simultaneously? --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:59, January 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sure there's nothing on The Lexicon about it, as the corridor is only mentioned on the Noble Collection Marauder's Map prop replica. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:26, January 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Should be a location infobox, too. Well, I'm off to bed (gotta wake up early tomorrow). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:45, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

User_talk:BachLynn23/Hogwarts_Castle_Project
Hi, BachLynn, I saw the red link of "Günther der Gewalttätige" under Hogwarts Castle - Unknown Locations - Portraits, statues and other artwork located in unknown locations. I wonder why there is a german name. Do you know that the english version is Gunther the Violent and that this article exists already? And another thing I recognized. In the templates from Locations below fifth floor until Towers is standing always "Portraits, statues and other artwork located on the fourth floor". Can it be that this is a copy error?

Infoboxes
Hey do you know what happened to the infoboxes? And your talk page looks weird too. Users talk pages have also been renamed "Discuss this page", what's going on? Raindrops 242 22:13, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

The new wiki look, but only becuase I was told when I changed my prefrences that even if I chose Monobook, it would automatically switch to the new wiki after 30 days, which it did. Should I try to change my prefences?Raindrops 242 22:18, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

I changed my prefrences, and it fixed everything, but I don't like the look. Mabye it'll be fixed tommorrow.Raindrops 242 22:34, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Re:wiki look
I use the new wikia look, mainly because it's the default setting that most everybody who comes here sees. I know wikia's having some technical issues right now, since I've tried to block a couple of IP's for vandalism and spamming, but I just keep getting a message about a server error. This has been going on for several hours, and I have no idea when they're going to get it fixed. - Nick O'Demus 16:48, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hello. My user name is Team-Jacob Girl. My sister is on this Wikia. I think you may know her. Her user name is *Luna. I love all your user boxes. I have some user boxes on http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_Saga_Wiki. But not all the wonderful ones you have.

Testing
--BachLynn23 01:28, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome
I'd block them, but right now I can't. Every time I try to block an anonymous IP, I get an error message from Wikia about the server problems. This "temporary problem" that "should be fixed soon" has been going on for over 12 hours. And there have been over half a dozen instances of block-worthy vandalism, fanon, and spam in that time. Right now, I'm just keeping a list to get back to whenever this gets fixed. - Nick O'Demus 01:39, January 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Believe me, if I really went into a detailed rant about what I think of Wikia's technical problems, I'd have to block myself. - Nick O'Demus 01:46, January 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, Wikia FINALLY got it fixed, and I've blocked the IP's that vandalized your page. However, the vandalism actually came from two separate but similar IP's, so they might come back if the IP address changes again. Do you want me to leave the semi-protection on your userpage? That way only registered users can edit it. I can also set it to expire eventually, or just leave it up indefinitely. - Nick O'Demus 04:18, January 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, I don't do the e-mail thing. I never really felt it was necessary, since the main thing I do around here is check the Recent Changes. Grunny mentioned that Wikia has been doing some updates, and it's been messing with some users' preferences, so that might be it. It still seems to be a bit glitchy at times. - Nick O'Demus 14:56, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

List of Harry Potter cast members
Hi, BachLynn, I saw you edit this page. I recognized that Myron Wagtail is two times mentioned. The first time between Ted Tonks and Eldred Worple, the second time between Mundungus Fletcher's associate and Wizard flourist. I thought I tell you because I don't know how to correct it. I think you know how to do. Harry granger 20:49, January 14, 2011 (UTC) Hi, I saw the name of Steve Poulsen as unidentified teacher under the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but the source says: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Is there a wrong source or is the name inadvertently written in the wrong ballot box? Harry granger 22:03, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Slytherin Quidditch team
Would you please stop editing the Wiki with false information? You know it is illegal to make up things that are not in the books on here. Please stick to the facts and those are for one that no girls were ever on the slytherin Quidditch team. Rowling said so so it's the law lol. Thank you.

Those who read the books or if you have read it yourself you will know as she stated it there. Also she said it in several interviews.

A few websites also discuss this:

One statement is here: http://www.mugglenet.com/editorials/editorials/edit-trixstar01.shtml

''the Slytherin team, for one. This team has obviously gone for brawn and not brains (OotP, pg. 359), and I think the link between the corruption of the Slytherin team and the lack of girls is telling. Slytherins are prejudiced against Muggles and "Mudbloods," and they also seem to be patriarchal (can you think of a female Slytherin that rose to power?). By creating an all-male team famous for its bigotry and corruption, Rowling is linking the Wizard-Muggle bigotry with all other types of bigotry, including male-female. So sexism is very definitely a bad thing in the Potterverse.''

http://www.half-bloodprince.org/snape_timeline.php

It is also illegal to create people here that do not exist just in case you weren't aware of it. I just don't want fans to get false information out of a great place the WiKi should be ;)

The person even put on it was spoof after re-editing it. Please refer to the books and you will find that she states there are no girls on the Slytherin Quidditch team since Slazar and that rule has been kept. Seeing Salazar was the founder of the house it does tell that

Please do not mix fanfiction and what certain people created as canon as it most surely is not. I am an international recognised Harry Potter expert on radio and tv and do know the facts. I shall forward this to Rowling herself for action to be taken against false information being illegally spread to fans. I simply do not want fans who may not know as much making a fool of themselves when others discuss things with them. It states in a few books on several occasions that there were and are no girls on that team. On all other three house teams there most certainly are and in international ones too. It's just the Slytherins that don't accept them ;)

Classroom 3D
Can I ask why you have removed the fact that this classroom can be found near the Headmaster's office. After all, in the game in which this classroom can be found, it is next door to the office. I understand that the office has had a different location in nearly every appearance, but this is where the two could be found in the PS2 version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game).--Jpkilleen 18:13, January 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for letting me know that. I've added it into BTS. Perhaps this location should be mentioned on the Headmaster's office page?--Jpkilleen 22:56, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Templates
Hi Bachlynn, you have created good templates. Do you have any plans to create more? I´d have some suggestions.--Rodolphus 15:49, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Nice idea about Quidditch and Prefects.

I´d suggest: --Rodolphus 16:08, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Aritmancy (including Professors, Arithmancers, (we know at least 2, Bridget Wenlock, and Bill Weasley earned an OWL to become Curse breaker) and Arithmany at Hogwarts)
 * Divination (Professors, classrooms, methods, and other Seers)
 * Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley (both would include shops and those who worked there)
 * Daily Prophet (newspaper sections and reporters.)

I had also thought of a St.-Mungos template, and I´d agree on the Quidditch matter.--Rodolphus 19:03, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

I´d prefer to include the team names (and the Houses in the Prefect, head student, captain template) I think it could get confusing if we don´t. On the other hand, we haven´t included the shop names on the employees section of Hogsmeade either. Ok, I agree with suggestion.--Rodolphus 19:17, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, something happened to your Template: Hogwarts Castle, Locations on third floor. There is to be read: Portraits, stautes and other artwork located on the third floor instead of 'statues'. I thought I should tell you after seeing it. Harry granger 20:54, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

RE:St. Mungo's template
I think it would be best to do so, or else it would make a very long nav template. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:29, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think we have, no. Apart from St. Mungo's Admissions Department and Janus Thickey Ward, I don't seem to find anything else. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 22:32, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Template:Quidditch positions
Hi, I saw your template. It is great as all the others. But I saw that two names are mentioned twice. In Chasers it is Catriona McCormack and in Seekers it is Shizuka Watanabe. I thought I should tell you. Harry granger 20:08, January 25, 2011 (UTC) I like all of your templates. They are a great help to see all relevant things in short form at once. When I saw your template for prefect/head boy I recognized the first time that there is only one head girl (Lily Evans), all others are boys. That was interesting and can easy be overlooked, so it is good "for surprises". I would use it. You have made two Quidditch templates, one for Hogwarts and one for the other teams. That's great. So it is not too long and both "lovers" of Quidditch are satisfied. That is really much and good work. I like it. Harry granger 21:03, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Birth Years
I put those categories for the specific births years becuase I noticed once I got to the 1970s births and above the categories for birth years say "Individuals born in or circa" and then the year. I figured they did this so it would be easier for people to find someone based on thier birht year, but since there are so many where we just assume the most likely birth year (Ex. a character appereing only in a video game, like say the order of the phoenix game, that if the character appers in Hogwarts they have to be at least 11 years old, so we just subtract 11 years from teh current.). So, yeah that's why. Raindrops 242 22:38, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Order of Merlin
Thanks! Reaching 3,000 edits was my goal when I joined the wiki, now that i've achieved it, I wonder if I'll be able to reach 10,000! Raindrops 242 01:30, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Categories
Although you're right I'm not so sure if we should do that. That category seems to be one of the, for lack of better word, "larger" categories that are an exception to that convention for easy reference (just like every "Ministry of Magic employee" wouldn't normally need to be categorised under "Wizards", nor "British individuals", but it is for convenience's sake). -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 15:38, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

?
My page keeps getting marked as "Fanon" for some reason.

Thank you for all your help. I'm quite inexperienced with this so I apologize. I will try and find legitimate evidence/quotations suggesting the existence of the character or I'll move the page. Thanks again.

Bach Lynn,

How do you create a custom signature?

RE:Black info boxes
Blacks born before the 1920s (and therefore Blacks who weren't taught by Slughorn and whose House is uncertain) should have a Wizard infobox with "Slytherin (possibly)" in the "House" field. Blacks born after that bear the Slytherin infobox (with the exceptions of Sirius, Phineas Nigellus, Marius, Tonks, Bellatrix, etc.). -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 21:19, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

RE:daily prophet template
I was thinking; what if we added a "hide" button to make the nav box collapse (i.e. this)? It would be more aesthetically pleasing and would allow for longer templates.

RE: Virius
I don't think there's much you can do...But what happened was that I looking a website (Can't remember the name of) looking through an artist named Kagaya Yutaka' s works, when I went to go to the next page I couldn;t - the page would only say "This page may be harmful for your computer" and then I couln't go to any other website, the same message appered. Then an anti-virius company poped up (I think the last guy to fix my computer installed it) and began running a check for virius in my computer and told me there was over 500 in it. Then another pop-up appered and requested I either buy the ani-virius software or run a decoding or something (Can't remeber what they called it de fragmenter or something like it?) and I pressed ok for the defragmenter and it mangaed to fix 4 of the 11 major broken softwares, and then I still couln't acess any websites so I thought turing off the computer and rebooting it might help - it has before. So I turned it off - or at least tried to. FOr 30 mintues I tried to press the Power on/off button and it didn't do anything, so I unpluged the computer for a minute then rebopoted it. You know how a black screen with options on different ways to reboot a computer will show up sometime with the options like Safe mode Normal ect? That showed up and I presses 'Normal', and it went throught the normal booting process - then before it losded to my home screen, the screen returned to the rebooting options page. I did this three times (once pressing the option for using the setting of the last successful booting) and it still wouldn't actuallly go to my screen. After that I gave up and turned it off for the night. The next day I tried again and it did the same thing - it's been doing that since tuesday. Anyway this all probably happened becuase, as you probably read on my response to Head.Boy.Hog. I haven't bought any anti-virius sortware, due to a general lack of money.Raindrops 242 20:58, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Ohhh... so thats what happened. Come to think about I think the same company popped up the last time my computer shut down. I actually bought my computer from a second hand shop, so I can't anwser your questions, and I do have some pictues I've saved on my computer, and i'm afriad I don't know how to do a sytem restore. I might take up your advice on the anti-virus software, I was planning on buying a different software for around $60. And your right, I don't live in Kentucky. Raindrops 242 21:15, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

BachLynn23,

The editor Chris Su is making a lot of weird and random and unnessecary pages and messing up other good ones.

Just sayin'...

-Rose's Crup


 * Keep your guard up, this user is not stopping their useless edits, and until an administrator takes actions I will keep a close look at the recent changes. -Adv193 00:43, February 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree, from my investigation I can say this user account is a vandal account since I can't find any good edits that are legit. -Adv193 00:59, February 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I already at least sent a message to the administrator, and besides a disciplinary measure against this user is probably the best thing right now since I usually am used to dealing with vandals and bad edits. Heck on the Pokemon site Bulbapedia where I help out, there has been a lot of bad edits I've been dealing with lately due to Spam articles, posting English names of the Pokemon for Black and White before an official source that confirms it is posted and in one case a user ignoring the code of conduct. -Adv193 01:10, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Alright! Thank you, you are a great editor!

Hi. I'm new to this thing and I was wondering if you could tell me how to put that box thingy underneath the picture on the profiles? I'm really sorry for bothering you. But if you could help that would be great. Sorry, but I don't know any other way to ask questions on this thing. :)s

The box things again...
Okay I have another question:) How do I put those ifoboxes on my wall, do I just copy and paste them to my profile thing that says About me? I'm sorry for leaving all these questions on your page, I am just very confused. :)

The one that is Gryfindor individule info box.. I think I just fill out the lines and then I post them on my profile but i really don't know?

For the "fill out things" ( I don't know what they are called) that I don't want to answer can I erase the question or will that mess everything up?

Okay thank you a lot!:)

OKay hold on a second.. When I pasted it on page it doesn't show up underneath the pictures like on all the other pages. It's just the words.. I am now VERY confused :>( because I thought I had it figured out:)

Thanks for putting it underneath my photo:) How do i put words in it?
