Hi.
I finished Other Wizarding Characters and the results are:
Was: 655
Now: 399
I'm not going to give all the stats unless someone asks, but the
highlights were:
Florence's Acronyms:
Only FLABBERGASTED has posts in it. There are 2 of them. 1 is the
acronym itself.
Flamel took a hit from 82 to 36. I got rid of posts that only talk
about what the stone is/was or about alchemy in general. These are
coded elsewhere (or have been deleted by those reviewing- I didn't
add anything).
Olivander went from 47 to 30. I removed the wand discussion, as it
was coded to wands, where it belongs.
Rita had a lot of repitition, so she went from 166 to 80. She's
still a meaty category both for speculation and for comments about
the press.
Side note: I found a funny speculation by Magda which suggested that
the task DD sent Snape on at the end of GoF was to woo Rita and see
what she knew. That's why DD had to ask Snape twice if he was ready
to do such a thing.
Narcissa went from 46 to 25. Having just finished Draco, I was
pretty well aware of what was already in the Malfoy Family Dynamics
section, so knocked out a few more posts than I would have
otherwise. Several did make their way to that area.
Teachers' partners went from 40 to 21. I eliminated ones specificly
shipping certain teachers as these were already in shipping and/or
coded to the teachers themselves. Again I took some liberties
uncoding shipping as I have reviewed it myself.
Poor old Flo went from 50 to 37 due to repetition.
Everyone else either went down slightly or was unchanged.
One thing that struck me as odd: There were a ton of posts about how
Stan probably didn't go to Hogwarts (or have any education) as he has
a menial job, but only 2 posts about Ernie Prang saying that. I
wonder why people don't ask the same about Ernie? Did he really seem
that much more intelligent?
I should add that when I went to put my name by these people in the
definitions database, they were already listed as Laurasia. The same
was true for the minor teachers. May I assume she did an earlier
review? She wasn't listed in the allocations database. I left it as
was.
That's it for the other wizards.
I signed up for Beaubatons and Durmstrang next (2.09).
Ginger, who should really be starting a countdown.
