message: This is what the article on the Spanish Wikipedia has to say about the Russian translation:
Language        	True Name             	Anagram             	Translations/notes
Russian         	TOM D. DVOLLODER REBUS	LORD SUDEB VOLDEMORT	
Russian spelling	ТОМ Д. ДВОЛЛОДЕР РЕБУС	ЛОРД СУДЕБ ВОЛДЕМОРТ	Lord of Fate, Voldemort

Russian spelling	ТОМ НАРВОЛО РЕДДЛ     	ЛОРД ВОЛАН-ДЕ-МОРТ  	Lord Volan-de-Mort
That is clearly different from what we currently have here. So... which one is right? --Fibonacci 01:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I figured there was too much details about his hair and eyes in the infobox, so I decided to get rid of the extra details and replaced them with a link to the Personality and Traits. It helps keep summary infoboxes clear while not eliminating access to information, I hope. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:18, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The catalan meaning was wrongly placed, as it corresponds with "vol de mort - flight of death". The Catalan word "Vol" has not the French meaning of "stealing". See for instance http://www.ibiblio.org/dacco/cat/, if you need a bilingual dictionary ("Cerca al diccionari" meaning "Dictionary search"). --Lionni 09:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It is undoubted that unlike Dumbledore, Voldemort feared death above everything else. As the prophecy foretells,, either Harry or Voldemort shall die. There is this theory you can always add that probably Harry will die but something worse will happen to Voldemort, (e.g) perhaps trapped in time and being tortured constantly until doomsday or anything worse than death.

message: Should Voldemort be listed in the category "Fictional terrorists"? He is never called one in the novels nor is any of his Death Eaters. But he clearly uses terrorist methods though one could argue that this resembles more guerrilla warfare. If there is consensus to include him in this category all the Death Eaters should be included, too.
I'm also not sure if Voldemort qualifies as both a sociopath and a psychopath. I'm not familiar with this topic but I think he probably belongs in just one of the two categories.--84.167.133.47 19:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project. Agne

message: Someone deletes this article from any villain categories every once a day. So I fear that this will become an edit war. Can someone stop him?
:Why don't you stop. It's clear that this edit, consisting of removing LV from the villain categories, and this edit, you asking that person to stop removing those cats, were made by the same IP, Special:Contributions/74.12.109.230. It was nice of you to suggest it yourself, I will advise you to follow your own advice and stop. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 22:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a tricky category which is often POV to include articles in. At Talk:White Witch#Category:Fictional personifications of evil a user just presented what I thought was a good argument to include the White Witch in the category. It's not just Fictional evil people, it's fictional personifications of evil. Do you think Voldemort embodies the sould of evil, and, if so, can you present a decent sentence or two to support you? I'd be with you all the way if we can back it up with evidence. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 23:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Hello again, then. :-) As I say, it's important to be really strict with categories, but they're especially tough when they're subjective topics. It's vital to note it's personifications of evil, meaning Voldemort, in a sense, equals evil, rather than "is an evil guy." I thought quite highly of your objective evaluation of the White Witch, she was the first evil in Narnia and thus brought it into the world, but talking about supernaturalism and lack of conscience is, if you'll pardon my saying so, a bit vague and not directly taken from J. K. Rowling. I'll give it a think over, you can too, and we'll come back to this when we can think of how Lord Voldemort equals the essence of evil. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 00:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm sorry, I don't follow you. Could you explain yourself a bit more? --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 23:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

text: No, I know, I could tell it wasn't you (history of the page); still, I was asking the person who wrote that what they mean. And I think "delected" is a typo for "deleted," likely, but even then it doesn't make sense. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 14:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "delected" = directed, as in redirected or something, i think.  Looks like a threat to bypass consensus and create a shadow article. --T-dot 16:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Yup, I'd wait it out. Thanks for the heads-up on the CFD though. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 19:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Tom Riddle and Voldemort have different birthdays in these articles.  It says Tom was born 12-31-26, and Voldemort was born 12-31-25.  Voldemort couldn't be younger than Tom Riddle? ;)
:lol, your right. There are two different schools of thought here. The Chamber of secrets was opened fifty years from 1993 at which time Tom Riddle was sixteen so minus 66 years and he was born on New Years Eve 1927. But according to the "official timeline" from some DVD Hagrid was expelled in 1942 so Voldemort being 16 in 1942 would have been born in 1926. I trust the books more so I'm in favor of going with 1927 as the birthdate, which would make both articles wrong. *shrugs* TonyJoe 14:33, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: How about we say December 31, 1926 or January 1, 1927? Hermione1980 15:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

text: I don't see how what you've said would alter his birth year, though, but I'm happy to hear what you have to say later. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 19:16, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Remind me, why couldn't he be in his sixth year (the year after the chamber) when Slughorn calls him a Prefect? Michaelsanders 00:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Anyway, if he was sixteen 50 years before 1993: sixteen in 1943. Turned sixteen 31/12/1942. Turned eleven on 31/12/1937, started school 1/9/1938. Was ten on 31/12/1936. Born on 31/12/1926. Given that Hagrid was expelled near the end of Tom's fifth year, the 42 date is wrong: Hagrid was expelled in summer 43 (so the DVD is wrong. Anyone surprised?). That doesn't affect the-end-of-1926 birthdate at all. Or have I got muddled? Because I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from. Michaelsanders 00:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

text: In any case, you seem to be neglecting the fact that the Riddle Murder was in "the summer of his sixteenth year". That's when he was fifteen, not sixteen. He murdered them BEFORE the Chamber was opened. Thus, the murder took place in - if he was born on 31/12/1926 - summer 1942. NOT 1943. And the consequent Slughorn Horcrux chat could - probably did - take place in his fifth year - first of being a prefect - and then Tom created his first Horcrux somewhere between the Chamber being closed and 31/12/1943 - when he stopped being the sixteen year old his diary self was. It's all explained much better than either of us are doing on . Read it. Michaelsanders 13:53, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: :The name "Voldemort", roughly translated, means "flight of death" in Latin, French and Catalan, or "steal death" in French.
Curious as to why it is mentioned twice. Disinclination 04:34, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought it was flight of death in French and Catalan, and steal death in Latin… --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is also "theft of death" in French. However, "flight of death" is consistently misinterpreted in the article. "vol" means "flight" not in the sense of fleeing something, but in the sense of flying. So seeing a connection to Voldemort's attitude towards death in the "flight" translation is somewhat awkward. --84.61.246.88 18:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
