Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

There needs to be SOME sort of distinction between film and book versions. The article currently states that he has brown hair and green eyes, whereas in the book it's stated that he has 'straw blonde' hair and his eye colour isn't mentioned. --Ryttu3k 08:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

JeLuF wonders if this is copyvio. I don't think so. I've been following 12.203.10.240 around Wikipedia: he/she is generating a tremedous number of edits with misspellings. The edits are coming awfully quick for OCR, and jump between Harry Potter and Star Wars. I think he/she is writing things from scratch.

Phew, I'm tired from the editing. -- hike395 05:43, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Loyalty

I don't understand the classification of "none, formerly Death Eater". Sirius Black isn't listed as "none, formerly Order of the Phoenix", is he?

• Fixed this. It's annoying how people treat the situation after the most recent book as if it were "present day".

[edit] Birthdate

I added his birth and deathdate. The deathdate is obviously from GoF, the birthdate is based on the chapter "The Pensieve", where it is said during the Death-Eater trials, that he's around 18 years old. The trials play in late 1981 and probably 1982. Doing the math, that makes his birthyear around 1963. - Sebastian

I'm removing the deathdate, because the books make it clear that while the Dementor's Kiss is "worse than death", it isn't death. He's still alive, but has no soul. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 12:07, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Differences Between Film And Book

I think someone should create a scetion on this as, more than any other character, his was so radically altered. Changes in his behaviour, appearance, and in the plot all deserve mention. I think there should also be a fanart picture of crouch as described in the book, as Tennant's appearance in the film differs so radically.

Someone removed his eyes colour, whick I put blue. His eyes are blue in the mivie.

I expanded a very wee bit on the plot difference, but did not create a section. -JohnRDaily 21:06, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Edit War on the Color

I see the problem, and I want to help. You see, black letters on gold seems to be the standard "HP template". However, if you click on the link at the bottom of this Barty's page, you can find a list of all the Death Eaters. And, other than Severus Snape (who WAS a Death Eater, but has the Standard HP color template, probably because he's a character that more Harry Potter fans care about) and Draco Malfoy, which are more complicated characters, death eaters DO have the black and white color template. Then there's Draco! He has entirely different colors altogether! Black on Green- very odd, not standard to anything, not even Slytherin colors! See for yourself: Draco Malfoy. So, perhaps we should change ALL the Death Eaters, and Draco, to the Gold and Black. Then no one can complain? I don't know. Help, please! Emily 17:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Well the standard HP character template has been standardized to use #fc0 background and #000 foreground. That's why I keep reverting the anon IP that keeps reconnecting to change the colours. Every character has this.

Explain to me why you are posting this on several HP characters' talk pages when we are more than capable of discussing it on just the one? I have them all in my watchlist. — NathanHP ^{(T • C • W)} 07:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC) oops, sorry?

This topic of Info Box Colours is being discussed on the Harry Potter Project talk page please put forth you views there, to try and reach a consensus. Also could I please remind everybody to remain civil and respect other peoples opinions. Thanks. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 23:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Death Eaters are Black and White. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Harry_Potter/Templates#Colours. Any changes to this format should be discussed on the WikiProject's Talk page. Do not revert the colors on this page again. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 00:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, I was corrected - the correct infobox colours are at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Harry_Potter/Templates#Colours. There is no problem, just a misunderstanding. Let's work to resolve this without harsh words. — NathanHP ^{(T • C • W)} 05:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I saw that too. Sorry. I tried to help by posting this on the talk page(s). I now know that I was wrong, just like nathanHP. I hope I helped anyway! Emily 22:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jr vs Jr.

Why no period after Jr? BTW the movie lists him as Barty Crouch Junior (no abbreviation) and his father as Barty Crouch (no Sr or anything) 68.4.225.187 07:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about American English, but in British English we don't place a stop after an abbreviation if the final letter has been retained. That means approx., but no Mrs.: and Sr, not Sr.. Michaelsanders 12:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
