Unless an official source states that this image is of Sinistra, then it should not - and will not - be used to illustrate the article. Speculation is not allowed, only canonical facts. - Cavalier OneGryffindorcrest(Wizarding Wireless Network) 17:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

In fact - where does it state that any of the images used in the article are of Sinistra? - Cavalier OneGryffindorcrest(Wizarding Wireless Network) 17:49, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
As such, I have reverted and locked the article to it's imageless state until concrete proof - not theory - is provided. - Cavalier OneGryffindorcrest(Wizarding Wireless Network) 17:51, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
The entire theory that this women is Sinistra is based on the fact that she is the only female teacher beside McGonagall to attend the Yule. However, this is incorrect. There is another women standing behind her, as can be seen in the image that Butterfly the rabbit was kind enough to provide. There is also Igor Karkaroff's Yule Ball partner, as well as several others. Jayce DarkmarkAvada KedavraCrucioImperio 19:06, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, she was seen with Crouch/Moody, with whom Sinistra danced in the book. They don t do in the film, though.--Rodolphus 19:12, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'm with Cav on this one. It very well could be Professor Sinastra, but without some source identifying it, we cannot use it. Sorry. --JKochRavenclawcrest(Owl Me!) 19:14, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
Hm, since when is a canonical fact decided upon by voting? Also, why would she be Sinistra? She could be loads of other female professors (Babbling, Burbage, a professor from a film-only subject, etc.) or even a non-teaching staff member (Lucinda Thomsonicle-Pocus, anyone?). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 20:27, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
But she is the only "extra" that we know exactly who is professor and teach in Hogwarts.The other "unnamed profesor",might not be teachers.Pol 871 21:06, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
There's a chance the individuals in the High Table are not professors but it's generally assumed they are. But that isn't the point: what I was saying was that there is absolutely no factual evidence (apart from the speculation presented until now) that the "unidentified female teacher (I)" is Sinistra. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:15, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
I'm agree with you."it's generally assumed they are".Since there is no proof that they are teachers, should be retired of this wiki.Pol 871 21:27, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
