When one tries to reason with someone, and reason fails but you still don't agree with what said person is doing, what do you do? If you can come up with an appropriate answer for that, then tell me I'm being out of line. I think my tone is quite necessary for the situation, but then both I and everyone else is biased on the subject

Archiving

I took the liberty of archiving this page. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 08:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Main image cont

OK, here is a crop I made. I just previewed it in the infobox and it actually looks really good. It is without a doubt the best quality image we have. I know the age is a problem, but it ties in with the article title, and despite the transformation he underwent, he was, as Dumbledore said, Just a boy who made all the wrong choices. Again I'm not saying we should use it permanately, just as an interim. Jayce Carver Slytherin Prefect badge Talk 08:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Also while were on the subject, most recent doesn't always mean best, afterall Wookiepedia use a picture of the young Anakin rather than of the older more recent Vader as their main image. I think this could be because their article is titled Anakin rather than Vader so the image matches the name. If this is the reason then maybe having one of him as Riddle wouldnt be such a bad thing.

Infobox Image

vwolde

" Polish word "vwolde" means "representative" or "embassador", " WHAT???!!!! that's not true! I don't know this word it even cant be spelled ! representative = reprezentatywny embassador = ambasador

Name?

I'm sorry if I'm mistaken, but according to the naming title this should be the name he is always recognized as; he is only called Riddle in his childhood, but Voldemort as an adult, which he is in the entire book series. A previous short-term discussion in the archived talk uses the Anakin Skywalker instead of Vader thing on Wookieepedia as a reason; that's because Vader died as Anakin, while Voldemort died as Voldermort. Might I receive a clarification, please? —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 20:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

See the Naming policy. If that isn't clear though then feel free to ask. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 20:37, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Like I said, I did read that and it seems like this article still shouldn't be named Tom Riddle. —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 21:04, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. The following applies (and I quote):
  • An article's title should contain the full first and last names
    • For example: Use Ronald Weasley should be used instead of Ron Weasley or Ronald Bilius Weasley
What part is making you feel like he should be called "Voldemort" or "Lord Voldemort" as opposed to "Tom Riddle"? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Ah, I understand now. Also, I can see how you can't automatically assume he legally changed it. Alright, thanks. —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 21:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


What...

I. Do not. Believe it.

You actually voted for the picture of his miserable child self? What in the world is wrong with the lot of you? This is Lord Voldemort, Darkest Wizard in a century, scourge of the wizarding world and doom upon muggles and those around them. Yet here we show him, as an 11 year old.

The lot of you are mad, utterly mental.

Firstly he is seventeen in the photo not eleven. Secondly saying What in the world is wrong with the lot of you? and The lot of you are mad, utterly mental., is a personal attack against those who voted for the current main image. May I please suggest that you choose your words more carefully in the future. Jayce Carver Slytherin Prefect badge Talk 06:03, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


Please excuse my mistake about his age. However, I shall not revoke my attack on the lot of you that voted for it, because one I would be lying if I said it wasn't an attack, and the fact remains that the lot of you are indeed, mental. I have tried arguing politely, and now I have attempted to tell you how idiotic putting that picture there is. Since neither has worked, I suppose there's nothing to be done for it. I have nothing against anyone here, but it doesn't change the fact that you've put an image of a kid where an evil dark wizard should be

Your tone is rather out of line, Imperial Misanthrope, though I understand your dissatisfaction with the current infobox image. Looks like I missed out on the debate, but I think it is preferable to use a more recent image of Voldemort for the infobox, although I can see the logic behind using File:Tom Riddle Half-Blood Prince Profile.jpg. Compared to the other pictures in Category:Images of Tom Marvolo Riddle, it's well-lit, forward-facing, and has a neutral expression. I suppose it also has the advantage of presenting Tom Riddle as he was before his appearance was drastically altered by the Dark Arts. I would still prefer a more recent image, though, so I've got my DVDs out and I'm going to search for suitable screenshots. Starstuff (Owl me!) 16:50, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
How is this? It's from immediately after his rebirth in GoF. I cropped out his hands. Starstuff (Owl me!) 17:09, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

It has to be from HBP. I think the one we had before the vote was fine, and I don't see why it was changed.--Matoro183 (Talk) 23:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
