Re: Fleur Delacour Edit

I'm not the one who did that. I only reverted the edits of Thorning, not yours. --ÈnŔîčö DCRavenclawcrest(Send me an Owl!) 23:58, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

RE; Ronald Weasley Edit

There ya go, Im going to work on some more spacing issues with that articles. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 21:25, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Oh that is no problem, At least you are working on the articles. Really, the Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger Articles need a lot of work. It is because since they are big articles, the small mistakes are quite often overlooked. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 21:29, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

RE: hermione Granger Edit

Ahh Ok. Thanks -- Ratneer Owl Me! 06:26, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

The one with the Newspaper? Yea, I changed it back to the original one up there. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 06:34, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I like this one. I think it shows the 'other' side of hermione. It is also from DH, so it is the newest one there is. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 06:58, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Re: Bellatrix LestrangeEdit

Because the books never deny the presence of Bellatrix. Under this wiki's canon policy, things in the movies that do not contradict the books are considered canon. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:05, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Harry Potter Edit

Reverted the edits and left the user a fanon warning. Thanks for the notice. - Nick O'Demus 07:52, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

To my knowledge, she hasn't given any interviews recently, and any interview with that kind of info would be all over the fandom by now. Accio Quote is one of the best reference sites out there for interview transcripts and links. The ones in 2007, just after Deathly Hallows came out, have some of the best information. I especially recommend the "Bloomsbury Live Chat", "J. K. Rowling at Carnegie Hall", and "PotterCast Interviews J.K. Rowling" parts 1 and 2. - Nick O'Demus 08:03, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Unidentified Lethal Curse Edit

It looks like Jayden Matthews already reverted it. By the way, have you considered asking for rollback privileges? It useful for reverting multiple vandalism edits. - Nick O'Demus 11:16, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

VandalEdit

Yes, go to a Admin, type this on Search Harry Potter Wiki and maybe one of them is online. Look at Home and you see of they are online. --Station7 21:47, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Because of his vandalism on your page, section Favourite Page looks horrible. If I was you, I would removed, with == and then the name Favourite Pages == as new section. So remove and then change the page. It's just a suggestion, it's your choice.--Station7 21:59, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

VandalismEdit

I've blocked that particular vandal for a period of six months. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:48, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Tom Riddle Edit

Ahh, Ok i see now, I was thinking it was about the deaths of James and Lily. I fixed it. Thanks. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 22:23, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

 ?sdrawkcaB Edit

Is it possible that your username spells your real name, but backwards?--The Last Dark Angel 10 17:42, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

RE:POAEdit

Yea, Im on it. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 21:50, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

When you are on the forums, there is a box to the right above the topics. Enter your topic name and click the button. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 03:13, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Viktor Krum Edit

Harry certainly, maybe Ron, Cedric, Fleur, and Karkaroff too, if only a few sentences each. to be honest, most of the "Relationships" sections in the Wiki need a lot of work. There have been a few discussions over in the forums about setting some standards, but I don't think anything's come of it yet. - Nick O'Demus 19:04, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Slughorn Wand Edit

Do you know what Horace Slughorn's wand is made out of,please tell me. --Bdalton123 23:19, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks anyway.By the way,did you know that David Yates might be making a Harry Potter Series with a new Character.

WarnerBros isn't going to be invlolved,I checked.

Re:Sirius Black Edit

Yes check Done - Nick O'Demus 06:17, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ask Cavalier One. He was recently promoted to Bureaucrat, and they're the ones who can grant Rollback privileges. Tell him I recommended you. - Nick O'Demus 07:04, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Marauders Edit

I'm not sure if they ever used the term themselves, but Hermione refers to them as "the Marauders" in Half-Blood Prince, when Dobby tells them about Draco using the Room of Requirement. I think JKR has also called them "the Marauders" in interviews. - Nick O'Demus 08:57, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Harry Potter-CleanupEdit

Ok, sorry. But i think the relationships section on the Harry Potter page is very good--Thorning 17:44, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Cloak of InvisibilityEdit

Great. Send me a message after you have done so (I'm off to bed, so I'll check it tomorrow, if it's done by then). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 02:26, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Seems alright. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 12:12, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Rollback Edit

I've granted you your rollback rights, and I see Nick O'Demus is vouching for you as well. Sorry for the delay :) - Cavalier OneGryffindorcrest(Wizarding Wireless Network) 22:56, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

RE: ThanksEdit

you don't need to thank me. But thanks anyway--Thorning 07:38, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Spring Semester Edit

It's an error that crops up occassionally. Some people just forget that, for example, the school year in Chamber of Secrets takes place in 1992 AND 1993, or they might get confused about when during the school year certain events take place. It's definitely something to keep an eye out for. - Nick O'Demus 09:02, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism Edit

There's not much that can be done about "hit-and-run" vandalism, where some anonymous IP pops in, does one or two vandal edits, and then most likely never posts again. For registered users and persistent vandalism, you can add warning templates to the offender's talk page, and inform an admin so they can block the user if necessary.

{{fanon}} - for users adding fanon to pages or creating fanon articles.
{{vandal}} - for relatively minor vandalism, or generally unhelpful edits.
{{vandal2}} - for persistent or major vandalism, such as vulgarity, profanity, or explicit material.
{{last}} - for repeated and deliberate vandalism, make sure you inform an admin about the user's actions.

Nick O'Demus 03:56, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Possessive Links Edit

Because that's not how it's supposed to be, I think. The 's are meant to be outside the brackets. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 23:35, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Alastor MoodyEdit

Thank you for pointing that out! =) --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:39, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Argentina Edit

I copied & pasted the infobox from Andorra to create the Argentina article. that's probably why. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 22:59, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE:RE:Argentina Edit

What are fellow users/friends for? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 23:04, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Ghoul StudiesEdit

Yes, I know that (I was the one who created the "Ghoul Studies" article). However, to be featured in an article, an individual/creature/place/object/whatever has to be mentioned on a canon tier. I do not believe the professor has been mentioned anywhere. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:36, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Leaving warnings Edit

Please don't encourage vandals as you did here. Although you left the warning, your comment also praised his work, and could lead to more vandalism as a result. Cheers, Grunny (Talk) 02:01, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

No worries. Just something to remember in future :). Grunny (Talk) 02:06, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

RE:PossessivesEdit

No, I don't think there's an actual policy concerning that, but the usage of -s's in proper nouns (as in "Sirius's bike") has been conventioned on this wiki, and is prefered for consistency's sake. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 02:40, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Does he remain on HPW? Edit

I saw you were online when I glanced at my homepage. I've heard a lot lately about this vandal Jeffrey1992. Is he still on HPW or has he finally been blocked or otherwise? The Last Dark Angel 10 02:49, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Fifth year Edit

Since it's an in-universe article, yes. - Nick O'Demus 06:59, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Order of Merlin Edit

Merlin Bronze Order of Merlin (Third Class)
The Order of Merlin is awarded to you by Nick O'Demus for having over one-thousand edits on the Harry Potter Wiki.

RE:Month Pages Edit

Sounds good to me. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 23:43, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

How to creat pagesEdit

You're not an idiot. I asked it to to an Administrator. Here is the link:Special:CreatePage. --Station7 08:06, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Patronus Edit

This happens every once in a while for articles with conjectural titles. The existing article is fairly complete as far as information, but if you think your title is more descriptive, start a discussion on the talk page and see what some of the other users think. If there's a consensus, it can be redirected.

Oh, and sorry about not getting back to you on the month pages thing. I was working on something else and it completely slipped my mind. I think it's fine to list some of the key events, although I've usually paid more attention to the year articles myself. But if you think you can improve them, by all means do so.

And you're welcome. You've earned it.

Nick O'Demus 08:32, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

If you have move, you can use it. If you don't have it, you can't use it. I like the title: Patronus (class). You can always making an discussion before you change something.--Station7 22:21, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

RE: MiniMitch Edit

Yeah, He isnt going to stop until he is banned. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 21:51, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed. What fun, eh? :P - Nick O'Demus 21:53, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
Nope, but Starstuff is. Lord Voldemort killed the vampire James‎ already reverted the Slytherin edit. You know, I really don't even him whenever he has to log in. - Nick O'Demus 21:58, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Alias Edit

No, they don't. Grawp called her Hermy because he couldn't pronunce her name, and Binns called her Miss Grant because he mistook her for someone else. Jayden Matthews 22:48, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

They should'nt be, I've removed them. Jayden Matthews 22:53, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I see Jayden has a problem with that, that I have addressed him on. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 22:56, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I think in order to be considered an alias, they have to use the name themselves at some point, but as far as I know, there isn't a set policy on it. This is something people have been going back and forth on for a long time now. Maybe it's time we voted on settling this either way.
I'm just about to head out for a while. Hold down the fort if any vandals show up again. - Nick O'Demus 23:03, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
Please see Forum:Specualtion in infoboxes. Jayden Matthews 23:06, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
No we are not adding nicknames to the alias fields. There's no such thing as non-voluntary alias. An alias is a name which a person adopts and uses for themselves. Jayce Darkmark•Avada Kedavra•Crucio•Imperio• 23:24, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'd recommend starting a forum topic, something along the lines of "Proposal for Infobox Guidelines policy". The existing Character infobox family guidelines policy could be expanded to include the proposed changes too, as well as any other suggestions people might make. Give it a day or two for discussion and suggestions, then move forward the vote. You can look at Forum:Past/Present tense? and Forum:Vote to change the Wiki's Canon Policy as examples. - Nick O'Demus 07:21, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

That's good. Working on articles needing cleanup is always appreciated. I expanded the proposal on the forum a bit. Let me know what you think. - Nick O'Demus 08:18, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
I've finalized the proposals in the "Alias" policy forum discussion. The vote will officially begin in 24 hours to allow for any final recommendations.
BTW, if you don't want to delete it outright, you can hide the ranting further down by placing <!-- before the comments and --> after them. That will hide them from view so that they'll only be visible when editing the page. - Nick O'Demus 10:09, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Dumbledore Edit

Sorry, I was tryin to do just that. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 22:57, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Book pagesEdit

I completely agree with you. It would look much more nice if the book/film/game articles were uniformized. Maybe we should set a standard over at the Wizengamot. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 12:28, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Like Seth, I agree with a standardised policy for book/movie/game articles. If you have a proposal to make, float a discussion on the Wizengamot forum and let the community take a crack at it. - Cavalier OneGryffindorcrest(Wizarding Wireless Network) 08:24, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Marauder Map EditEdit

In reply to your message: I think I read it in a book, but I'm not sure of it. I think Harry was trying to trail Draco with the map, and there was a mass of students in the room Draco was in and the dots must have gotten smaller as more kids filled into the room.

Thanks, TwilightPrincess_1

When you were setting up your home page, there are subsections of where you put your favorite characters, etc. How do you create those, if you don't mind me asking?

RE:Infobox VoteEdit

Technically, no voter is breaking the Voting Policy (as of today). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 22:30, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

I'm assuming that comment was (at least partly) directed at me. For your information, I've been a member of this site longer, and have contributed far more to it than you, so please keep your comments to your self. Also, just because you are currently losing the vote doesn't give you the right to go around complaining. Jayce Darkmark•Avada Kedavra•Crucio•Imperio• 10:46, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
Hey, that policy has a clear vote now, so you can contact an admin.--L.V.K.T.V.J.'Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 00:14, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Edit

The vote is to remain open for one week (closing on Friday, February 5), but if no option has a clear +3 majority over all others at that time, all proposals but the two with the most support will be removed and voting on those two will be extended by another week (closing Friday, February 12). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:50, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

RE:ProtectionEdit

Yes, some of the most major characters' articles should be protected as they are big vandalism targets. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:53, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Umbridge Edit

I don't know. I will check the talk page. It wasn't next to the house info. I put possibly, anyway.--L.V.K.T.V.J.'Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 23:17, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

RE:UmbridgeEdit

It is preferable, given that the possiblity is already given on the biography. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:23, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:27, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Mistake discoveredEdit

That's alright. I don't know all the facts of course. I didn't know that she plays in every Tim Burton movie.--Station7 23:48, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Period placementEdit

Checking on the web, I found this: "The British style of positioning periods and commas in relation to the closing quotation mark is based on the same logic that in the American system governs the placement of question marks and exclamation points; if they belong to the quoted material, they are placed within the closing quotation mark; if they belong to the including sentence as a whole, they are placed after the quotation mark." So, I guess in that case both are acceptable. Sorry about that, as I thought it was comma/period always out of the quotation-marks. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:01, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Bah, I hate these tiny aspects of grammar! =) --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:14, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
While we're yaking about grammar, I also found out that the usage of a comma before and in a series is optional: "Most business writers prefer to use the "serial comma" before and in a series of three or more items. For example, "I like carrots, broccoli, and succotash." Most newspapers, however, omit the comma before and. Whatever your preference, be consistent".--  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:39, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Magnolia CrescentEdit

That's great! --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:39, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

The article is great now! You failed including any references, though, but I have done so. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:10, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Magnolia Crescent Edit

oh... i was just slightly editing it right now, not sure if it was anything you were going to do but i apologize in advance ahha

Kingsley Shacklebolt Edit

It is not the article. It is the template. I am trying to fix that.--L.V.K.T.V.J.'Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 05:44, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

I just asked Seth Cooper to help me. I worked on that entire thing for 30 minutes, so it isn't exactly easy to fix those mistakes.--L.V.K.T.V.J.'Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 05:56, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE: FA Edit

Cool, once you've done that I'll give it a more thorough review and see if we can get it to FA :-). Grunny (Talk) 10:00, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Second Wizarding War Edit

Yeah, no problem. Since I nominated it for FA, I wanted to make sure it was reffed. If you want, you can go through and try to be more specific about book chapters. With everything clumped together just by title, the references section can get kind of bloated. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 21:23, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sirius & Buckbeak — from what I see, it looks good. And I moved the refs from the lead paragraph; that's the only section that doesn't need to be reffed. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 20:30, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox image Edit

Do we have to ask an admin. about if we can have a vote on the subject?--L.V.K.T.V.J.'Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 22:49, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: OOU Policy Edit

Sure, but I'm not going to close the infobox vote just yet, for two reasons:

  1. A vote was struck that technically does meet basic voting policy, so it's still only a +2 majority. I haven't unstruck it yet since I'm leaving it untouched at the moment, because of...
  2. This (the first part, anyway). It's hard to say what the implications will be, but for now I think it'd be best not to open or close any votes until he's finished his investigation. This could also affect previous votes that had been closed.

RE:Elder WandEdit

I agree. We mustn't take Beedle's word as fact because, as Hermione said "It's a fairy tale!" --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 19:43, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Harry Potter Edit

I agree the section could use some expansion, and that Harry is indeed skilled, but I just think the way they'd written it was a bit too much. Making Harry out to be some nigh-invincible dueling-"Master" from the instances they cited is really stretching the NPOV policy. To say Harry was undefeated except for a couple of times isn't entirely accurate, as we really don't see Harry engaging in what could be considered a traditional duel all that often to begin with, unless you count the video games, which depends on the player's skill. And the parts about about how Draco must have been trained in combat by Lucius and Lupin only had the element of surprise were highly speculative. Not to mention that citing the duel against Snape, one of the instances that could be considered a traditional duel, in which he was almost effortlessly swatted aside, doesn't really support their position.

In other news, Cavalier One blocked the two sock puppet accounts and struck their votes from the Infobox Alias Forum discussion, so the voting is now closed and #2 won. I'll ask an admin to change the field title in the infobox templates, since some of them are protected, then we'll need to start going ahead with implementing the policy changes. Now that it's resolved, it might also be a good time to move forward with discussions on the OoU article formatting policy. I've also struck the sock puppets' votes on the Cedric Diggory and Salazar Slytherin talk pages, which has effectively re-opened the voting for both as it put them below the +3 clear majority.

I also made a new userbox, let me know what you think. - Nick O'Demus 16:28, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I know Snape was using Legilimency, but my point is, assuming he didn't have his mother's protection or mastery of the Elder Wand, could Harry have gone head-to-head with Voldemort, Dumbledore, Snape, or Bellatrix? Extremely unlikely. He's the best D.A.D.A. student in his year, and by the time of OotP, probably the best in the entire school at that point, but that's a long way from saying he's a "Master Duelist" and "one of the best duellists of his time".
That rewrites' much better. Although, the use of "injured or incapacitated" twice is a bit redundant. How about changing "along with Dumbledore and Remus Lupin, was the only fighter on their side not to be injured or incapacitated" to "along with Dumbledore and Remus Lupin, was one of the only fighters on their side to emerge from the battle relatively unharmed".

RE:Categories Edit

What happened? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 21:06, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I fixed it and left a message on his talk page. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 21:22, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

harry potter Edit

To you

on the lilly ptter nee evans page, it clearly states that she is a muggle-born witch. as harry's dad was a wizard, harry is a pure-blood wizard.

therefore, will you stop changing my correct edits.

yours sincerly

Battle of the Astronomy Tower Edit

You mean the one with Bellatrix and the DEs? Yes, it does. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 02:37, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

What about now? --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 02:53, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Killing CurseEdit

I went ahead and tidied up the "Etymology" section of the Killing Curse article. Wiktionary's translation of the Aramaic phrase ("what was said has been done") is different than the translation JKR gave at the Edinburgh Book Festival in 2004 ("let the thing be destroyed"). JKR seems to have gotten her etymological information from an inaccurate source, but what she has to say is still notable, as it influenced her naming of the spell. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 03:41, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Off Topic ForumsEdit

I edited the Wizengamot header with a link to Wikianswers. Hopefully this will prevent further creation of off-topic forums. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:34, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Attack at the Hogwarts LakeEdit

Seems fine, but I promise I'll proofread and reference it thoroughly either tomorrow or Sunday. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:12, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox Edit

The "Minister for Magic individual infobox" is going to be deleted, so please do not re-add it to any articles. Thanks. 86.158.105.162 16:25, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Minister for magic infoboxEdit

See Template talk:Minister for Magic individual infobox. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 16:28, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

It was my fault really, I should have explained properly. Sorry, and you don't look like an arse. 86.158.105.162 16:50, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Warnings Edit

Hey, this unregistered contributor says I deserve to be warned because I created that infobox. Can you set him straight. He doesn't seem to be listening to me about it. Thanks.--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 17:07, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


I wasn't complaining about the infobox being deleted. Yes, I am not in the best spirits about it, but I wasn't happy about the unregistered contributor saying I should be warned. That's all.--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 17:23, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
Agreed. But you should know, when I talk about warnings it's not intended as a punishment. It's just to dissuade people from doing it again in the future, as the creation of new infoboxes is supposed to be discussed first. 86.158.105.162 17:27, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Just for the record, it was LVKTVJ who initiated conversation with me. I never warned him, or tried to. 86.158.105.162 17:35, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Opinion Edit

Can you give your opinion on the requests for permissions page?--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 03:20, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

I actually meant more toward Nick O'Demus being nominated for an administrator by me, but thanks for vouching for me in the rollback permissions part.--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 21:50, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Voting policy Edit

Check my response on their talk page. Typically, as long as the admins were aware of the vote, they usually let it proceed. For example, in the recent Infobox Alias vote, both Seth Cooper and Startuff participated, and Cavalier One struck votes that violated policy. No administrator objected or took issue. - Nick O'Demus 10:20, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

By all means. I've already pointed out to them repeatedly that they can inform the admins themselves if they think there's a policy violation. I have yet to see them do so. - Nick O'Demus 10:26, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
There's a technicality I've brought up on their talk page. Think we need to vote on it? : ) - Nick O'Demus 10:42, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
Same person, no doubt. Already left them a message. - Nick O'Demus 20:53, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Voting Policy Edit

I'm just following the rules, you're breaking them. You cannot go running off to Seth Cooper whenever someone disagrees with you. 86.171.139.52 10:28, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Thank YouEdit

You're welcome. I think that user's main beefs is that he thought the image was from Prisoner of Azkaban. Thankfully, user Remus Black clarified the subject by presenting the uncropped version of the image in order to prove it was from Half-Blood Prince. I reckon there should be no more problems about that for now. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:52, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Image Edit

I have archived the vote and made the winning photo on the main image.--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 00:56, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

By the way, you should think about archiving your talk page. It's getting pretty long.--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 00:58, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
Okay.--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 01:29, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Hermoine Granger's main imageEdit

Thank you! Yesterday, the vote was closed early, but as the unregistered user questioned the voting's legality and impartiality, we decided to leave it open until Sunday (March 7th). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 18:42, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

RE:TessieEdit

You're right. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 18:42, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Vote Edit

Cool. What do you mean "accusations of impropriety"? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 21:33, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. By the way I think you should archive your talk page now. It's gettin pretty long. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 21:45, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
Move your current talk page to "User talk:Hcoknhoj/Archive 1" & use the redirect (this page) as your new talk page. I hope this helps. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 21:49, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Archive Edit

There are two ways: cut and paste, or page move. Both are outlined step-by-step here. - Nick O'Demus 21:50, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Which option you choose is just a matter of where you prefer the page's history be kept. Option 1 (cut and paste) keeps the entire talk page history on the main talk page. Option 2 (page move) moves the history for that time period to the talk page archive as well.
