I note that you have been editing the Muggles' Guide, and while I appreciate the effort, there are a few things that we don't want to lose sight of.

One thing is Peeves. The author has said that Peeves is not a ghost. I'll grant you that he is a ghostly being, but there is no person who was Peeves before he came to the castle, and he can do things that the regular ghosts cannot. Because of this, I reverted your changes for Peeves, and returned him to his place in the character list.

Speaking of which: As you move people around on the character list, please try to keep alphabetical order of last names. Also, avoid spoilers -- we have to assume that some people who are using the book have not yet read the series. (There are separate articles for Tom Riddle and Voldemort, for instance; and the article on Moody is written to try and avoid the spoiler of revealing who he is really.)

And one last thing -- while it may seem jarring to your eye, the spelling we use in a lot of cases is the UK spelling. Notably: defence. All links to the course are spelled that way, and we have standardized on that spelling in the rest of the articles as well.

Thank you, and I hope I haven't discouraged you from keeping on. Chazz (talk) 07:24, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
