Talk:Ginny Weasley (character)

Cleanup Post-AfD
Well, since the article has been kept, it needs some major cleanup. Being copied from the Harry Potter wikia means many of the internal links do not link to the correct location, much of the text does not conform to Wikipedia's style for fiction, and it looks as though some images may need to be replaced. Any help would be appreciated. Jujutacular talkcontribs 16:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've done a "bug" clean-up, removing all the dead images, and templates. I'm going to remove all quotes, and re-word a few bits and bobs. Conay (talk) 16:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Can someone finish off where I left? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conay (talk • contribs) 18:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|15px|yes]] Done I believe that all links are now repaired, quotes removed, and dead images gone. Still requires a lot of in-universe cleaning out. Jujutacular talkcontribs 20:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have rewritten the opening paragraph to conform to WP:WAF. It's kind've short, feel free to add material. I believe using Draco Malfoy would be the best character to model off of for the rest of the article, as he has a similar level of significance to the series.

 * I have reverted to the original article back before the merge to Dumbledore's Army. That version is much more in line with other HP character articles.  The one I replaced was not only primarily in-universe, but it was the longest of all the HP character articles! Does anyone think Ginny is more significant to the entire series than, say, Draco Malfoy? Ccrashh (talk) 01:56, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Unmerged from DA?
In what forum did any discussion take place re: unmerging this terrible article from Dumbledore's Army? Consensus was always to leave it there. Who decided on this unilaterally? Ccrashh (talk) 01:35, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah. Sorry.  Saw discussion.  Terrible article though.  Since when does Ginny, a relatively minor character, justify an article of that ridiculous length?  And all in-universe to boot. Ccrashh (talk) 01:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea.... don't ask me. I nominated. Sad day. Jujutacular talkcontribs 05:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I still think its own article is a bad idea.  I think you count her lines in the books on two hands.  She is in it less than Neville - hell, even Luna seems to have more page time. Ccrashh (talk) 11:19, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Question Is the current revision from the original article at Ginny Weasley? Because if so, we need to just revert it there and scrap this one. It seems it has been cut&paste over from there, which is not good procedure. I can't believe what a mess this is. Jujutacular talkcontribs 14:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually just reverted back to 71.72.230.95 version back on July 30th - which was a rewrite/copy of the original article. I agree with your opinion though - this is a mess.  Last time I tried to do a proper revert and bring back an original article, however, I screwed things up royally. :) Ccrashh (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
