User talk:69.219.147.100

Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be an idea if you add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there.

While we do appreciate your work in the Muggles' Guide, there are several points that are a concern:
 * Deleting questions. Some questions are easy, yes; those are more review questions, for the less advanced reader. Note that I have re-instated your deletions in DH chapter 4 and changed the subheads; instead of deleting, in future please set up subheadings.
 * Deleting blocks of text, and changing things to be incorrect. In the DH overview, you said not six Horcruxes, but seven. Had you forgotten that the Horcrux in Nagini had not yet been created? And you deleted the block of text about Dudley for no reason I could see.
 * Framework. We have a standard framework for each type of article (chapter summary, magical item, place, et cetera); check the project standards here.
 * Fanfic. This is a book about the Harry Potter series, fan fiction has very little place in it.

Finally, it would be useful if you would select a user ID so that we would know who was doing the editing. Without a user name, what gets recorded is an IP address, and IP addresses will change over time.

Thank you very kindly, and good luck! Chazz (talk) 02:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd also like to repeat one of Chazz's comments above: While you're welcome to contribute anonymously, it's actually much better to register an account - this will hide your IP, making contributing more anonymous, and also lets us keep track of our contributors more easily.
