User talk:Lmskiver

Come introduce yourself at the new users page. If you have any questions, you can ask there or contact me personally.

If you have any questions about the Muggle's Guide in particular (specifically how we write things here and our set of standards), please leave me a message at my talk page. Thanks. -within focus 13:46, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 36
Could you please tell me if the Greater Picture section is your work? I suspect it was copied from somewhere and I removed it but would like to reinstate the content if it is truly yours. Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. -within focus 13:51, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Welcome (Again)
Hello again. I've reinstated your edits on the above-linked page (sounded convincing enough to me). For future reference, we use "user talk" pages here to communicate with each other directly although what you wrote on the talk page for the chapter isn't that bad either. Going to User talk:Withinfocus is how you can talk to me. We all have these pages and get notifications when someone writes on them.

Now, onto the Muggles' Guide. First, one thing to be careful about when using a text editor like Microsoft Word is that it won't always copy into plain-text well. Please check over that Greater Picture section you added for spelling, grammar, and special character issues. One of the most common errors in conversion is ellipses (the "...") which I noticed in your text. Also, please check out our project standards. Those will teach you a lot about how we edit stuff here. We have three very experienced editors here as well, User talk:Chazz, User talk:PNW Raven, and User talk:Jokes Free4Me (these are their user talk pages). Please try to get in touch with them as you learn about our book. Browse around the wiki for a while, practice at the Sandbox, and get an overall feel for how editing the wiki works and you should be all set! -within focus 18:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion about that writeup
I've made a small proposal at the bottom of the project talk page. As it involves your write-up, I think you might want to comment? Chazz (talk) 18:51, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Your Signature
Hah, you copied my signature style I see. Please change your colors at least! My eyes get caught on your signature when I'm looking for my own! Thanks. -within focus 17:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem whatsoever; it was a very trivial comment. I can already see that you're picking up the wiki language and by now I figure you're fully competent to edit the Muggles' Guide and its respective sections without any problems. -within focus 01:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Muggle's Guide analysis
I just thought I should let you know that I have split up your writing into two pieces and placed in the sections that withinfocus had suggested, more or less.

You said: "I could write a whole section on how JKR, accused of Wicca and occult promotion, has woven a tale that can be viewed positively from a Christian point of view..." Would you? Please? I think I very much see that as being something that belongs in the discussion of the entire series. Chazz (talk) 08:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
