Thank you for your efforts on Sirius Black. However, please keep in mind that this is an encyclopedia and should be written in the formal tone expected in that type of work. Matchups 12:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, please read WP:MOS#Contractions. The relevant part states: "In general, formal writing is preferred. Therefore, avoid the use of contractions—such as don’t, can’t, won’t, would’ve, they’d, and so on—unless they occur in a quotation." So stop changing them, it actually reduces the quality of the article. Thanks. - Bobet 14:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Minor Gryffindors, you will be blocked from editing. Leafyplant 11:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't abbreviate words in articles - they are meant to be written formally. Michael Sanders 14:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
