The article is unclear about the origins of the name "Voldemort"
"Some literary analysts have considered possible meanings in the name: Philip Nel believes that Voldemort is derived from the French vol de mort which means flight of death"
Voldemort is indeed coined with french words. That is not only a supposition made by a searcher.
JKR confirmed it comes from "Vol De Mort", please see article below
https://metro.co.uk/2009/02/04/rowling-sorry-for-voldemorts-name-416158/
In my view, this is relevant and it should be specified in the article.

it was confirmed by JK Rowling that the cursed child was indeed canon, I saw a edit that was removed because someone said it was not. I personally believe personal beliefs and feelings should be separated from canon facts. I believe they should put "Delphini" under relatives and state what she is to Lord Voldemort. It looks completely unprofessional that it isn't there when it was before. Thank you. 2600:1700:8CC0:3B40:28A5:F9CF:55F6:C910 ( talk) 09:44, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Rowling makes a mistake with the name: vol and fuire are the same but both are used in a other way.
Vol means to fly like a flight with aircraft.
Fuire means to flee.
She tried too say "flee for the death" but she said "flight for the death" so the correct spelling is fuire-demort, we dont know why she did make this mistake.

I'm kind of thinking he is, based on description in the article ...he assembles a large army and launches an invasion of the castle...
and also based on the opening line of the
Warlord article - A warlord is a person who exercises military, economic, and political control over a region in a country
Anyway, at the very least I'd prefer it if experienced editors abided by
WP:BRD rather than reverting, even when debate is invited right from the outset: This one needs debate...

Category membership is governed by WP:CATV. Membership of a category must be verified. A warlord is not someone who controls an army. If you want to include it, you must provide citations describing him as a warlord. GimliDotNet ( talk) 20:17, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
a person who exercises military ... control over a region. Chaheel Riens ( talk) 20:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
People who disregard WP:BRD just wind me up, especially when they're experienced editors, because condescending attitudes are not conducive to happy editing. Courtesy goes a long way to resolving conflict. Chaheel Riens ( talk) 20:47, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Can we change the profile photo to this? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pure-evil-wiki/images/d/d3/Voldemort-Formal.webp/revision/latest?cb=20231214191749 I think it indicates his pure evil nature.
