WikiCity

In case you don't see my talk page:

Yes, but isn't the WP coverage of Harry Potter good enough? What more can we say on the other Wiki? --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 20:47, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Well definitely not (removal of Harry Potter articles from WikiPedia)! WP needs HP. It would be boring here otherwise. It is a good getaway from all the politics and junk. Sometimes you gotta take a break from serious stuff and work on Sirius stuff. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 21:01, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't see an external link to HP WikiCity at Harry Potter fandom. mikka (t) 20:15, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Watch out...

You better watch out, "Chosen One". The Dark Lord isn't too pleased with you... Draco Malfoy 22:47, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh look. It's Slash-faced Cry-baby. I bet the Dark Lord ain't too pleased with you either, especially after you lost two of his precious Death Eaters to the Order. Chosen One 09:55, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

G.E.C.K.

if had been right in my guess, you would have chosen your name from Fallout 2 Gabrielsimon 10:03, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Nice spelling. I can't recognize a single word except... except... um, that's "if"... and "hoped"... "I" in lowercase... and "your name from"... but the rest is all Greek to me... "If I had my hoped, you'd have taken your name from Fallut 2"? What the hell is Fallut 2? Is that another city in Iraq? Chosen One 10:12, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Next time, don't change the original message or the history. Anyway, no, my name comes from Harry Potter, Star Wars, and the Lord of the Rings. Sorry, better luck next time. Chosen One 10:19, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

sorry, about the spelling my handsd are prone to malfunction, car accident/// tho i do try to keep it in check. Gabrielsimon 10:20, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

'Tsokay, still legible, but the wording tends to be confusing. See y'around. Chosen One 10:24, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Opps

Something came up at the last minute and I had to miss the HP Wiki discussion. I'll go and check out what you folks chatted about. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 13:42, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Blocked for... trolling?

Can anybody tell me what's going on here? I've been blocked for "trolling" even though I'm not a troll. I'm confunded. Chosen One 11:14, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

The majority of your edits seem to be an inappropriate VfD nomination and roleplaying on user talk pages. (cf. Wikipedia:Userpage#What_should_I_avoid.3F: Games, roleplaying sessions, and other things that fall into "entertainment" rather than "writing an encyclopedia," particularly if they involve people who are not active participants in the project.)

It appears that Mikkalai blocked User:Draco Malfoy and User:Albus Dumbledore at the same time that you were blocked, to put a stop to whatever was going on. While your userpage and Drako Malfoy's were deleted, Albus Dumbledore's gives a hint as to what was up. By convention, editing others' user pages (not user talk pages, but their user pages) is something that is avoided. Editing a user page to bait someone, ridicule them, or otherwise get a rise out of them (Example: [1]) might be seen as trolling. I can only speculate at this point what was on your user page and Drako Malfoy's, but presumably it was even farther afield for it to have been deleted.

Looking at your edit history, it would be easy to get the impression that you are not here to contribute to an encyclopedia but to stir up and engage other users in some sort of impertinent activity -- perhaps this is what led to your activities being classified as "trolling"?

• If that is the case, then you should have User:SPUI blocked for doing this edit to User:Severus Snape's talk page. Would you do this? I think not. Firstly, it's because he edits a wider range of topics, something I chose not to do in favor of one topic (Harry Potter), and secondly, it's because he's been here a long time. Also, if you would look a little more carefully and closely at my edits, you will see that not a single one was done in bad faith. As to my user page, it contained nothing but the innocent sentences: "Hi! I'm the Chosen One! I chose to hang out in the Harry Potter Wiki instead of here." or something close to that but no offensive material of any sort. Looking at my edits, I find nothing of the sort that would make me believe that User:Chosen One was trying to disrupt the system. I still find the block unjust, and will be filing a complaint at WP:AN/I once I am unblocked. This is a case of an innocent person being accused wrongly, and it must not remain that way. Justice above all else. Chosen One 19:25, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Sticking my nose in here — I don't believe for one second this user is trolling. S/he is a regular contributor on the Harry Potter Wikicity and I don't believe any edit s/he's made over here have been inappropriate. As far as the roleplaying thing on talk pages, if you're going to block this user for that, you'll have to block me and User:Lord Voldemort for the same thing, but I do believe we do have some decent contributions to our names. Perhaps warning Chosen One first would have been in order? Hermione1980 18:56, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Kindly file a complaint at WP:AN/I on my behalf, please. Thanks. Chosen One 19:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Filed. I'm sorry about this. I've asked if an admin will look into this and unblock you and undelete your userpage. Is that all or did I forget something? (Incidentally, are you a he or a she? Just for my information.) Hermione1980 20:18, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, Dmcdevit restored your userpage, but is waiting on the original blocking admin's comment before unblocking you. Hermione1980 20:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again for taking the trouble to do all that. Very nice of you. :) I'm a he, by tthe way. It'd be highly inappropriate if I were a female and took a username used by Harry Potter, Anakin Skywalker, and Frodo Baggins, wouldn't it? Thanks again for filing the complaint. It'll do until I'm up and about and ready to defend my name and my dignity. To be frank, I'm starting to think that accusing a non-troll for trolling might indeed be called trolling, couldn't it? But I'll stop here, lest I be told I'm trolling. ;) Chosen One 20:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

See my comments at WP:AN/I#User:Chosen One. mikka (t) 21:00, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Recommended reading: Wikipedia:Talk page. mikka (t) 21:22, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

I have restored your talk page as well, but since it was recreated, the history was all that was restored an this page is unchanged. If you would like to restore a discussion to this page, just copy it from the history. :) --Dmcdevit·t 22:02, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a million! Chosen One 22:05, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

HP Wiki

Well, I have been really busy lately. I still have a place in my heart for HPW, but I was busy here at WP trying for adminship, as well as other things. I saw you and Hermione were made admins over there. Congrats. I might try to come around more often, but I don't know how much I will be able to. Cheers. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 13:29, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

No, my request for adminship got rejected. But just barely. "Chairs." Now that's funny. See you later. --Lord Voldemort ^{(Dark Mark)} 14:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Surprised

Hey, you're back. Didn't notice that. Why the long break? Chosen One 17:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, wikipedia was eating too much of my time… It is again, but hey, nothing to be done about that. Incidentally, do we know eachother? I don't remember you, though if we do that shouldn't be taken personally, I have a memory like one of those things with holes in it. --fvw* 17:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Hermione1980's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA; I really appreciate it! I will do my best to live up to the trust you've shown in me. See you around on the HPW, Hermione1980 23:55, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Harry Potter featured article drive

I'm trying to get the Featured Article Drive going again on the HP Wikiproject. Check out Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Harry_Potter/Improvement#Improvement_Drive, I'd appreciate your input! Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 05:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Defacation

Chosen One, I have an urgent message. A person with the I.P. address of 210.212.45.144 has made some serious defacations to the wikipedian website. We need to stop and revert this man's edits NOW. Pass on this message.
