I think that it's kind of strange that the title just says 'Wizards' and not witches. Scarletmoon579 14:49, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
- The main generic name for a specific group in nearly always the same as the male variant; wizards can refer to both wizards and witches, just as mankind refers to both men and women. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:34, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
- What I find problematic about this article's current title is how it does not follow the singular-form article titling convention, e.g. Broomstick, Centaur, Goblin, Muggle, Owl, etc. We could use the singular form, "wizard," which, just like "man," can mean either "male person" or "human." However, if gender inclusivity is a concern, we could opt for the collective noun "wizardkind," which is used in the introduction of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 16:27, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
- I must say I agree. Since we have Merpeople, wizardkind, said by both Gilderoy Lockhart and in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, should be used for this article. -- Bee T. AreFile:Btr icon.png(Call me!!) 13:34, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
