How about changing main image of Elrond? He looks a buit...uh...odd? --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 12:20, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

:What did you have in mind?--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 13:40, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

::That Elrond looks odd in this picture.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 16:06, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

:::If no one disagrees, I suggest changing to the image used in this old revision [[http://www.tolkiengateway.net/w/index.php?title=Elrond&oldid=61385]]. Morover, this other image was uploaded with permission. {{unsigned|Morgan}}

::::I honestly don't like any of the images of Elrond already uploaded to TG.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 17:32, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

:::::I prefer the current image to the previous one, but, as KingAragorn says, I don't think any of them are particularly great. I would be ''tempted'' by a film-image, and would suggest [[:File:The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring - Elrond 2.jpg|this one]] if it weren't for the weird contrast. On deviantArt, the vast majority of Elrond images are Hugo Weaving. Our current image is fourth on a Google Image search for Elrond. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 18:52, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

::::::I like [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/art/Elrond-the-Ageless-196696708?q=boost%3Apopular%20elrond&qo=7 this one]. We can always ask DeviantART artists for permission.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 13:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

:::::::It is good, and do ask away as it would be nice to have it here anyway, but I think we should have a film one. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 14:05, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

::::::::Would you prefer a photograph from the film, or an artistic picture of Hugo Weaving's Elrond?--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 14:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

:::::::::That's defiantely a great picture, KA! We should ask him/her for permission, and put use it as our main image. Maybe we should also ask if could have these images too: [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/art/Fingon-194746104?q=gallery%3Ajankolas%20randomize%3A1&qo=2 Fingon], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/art/Luthien-Tinuviel-198553543 Lúthien], [http://cg-warrior.deviantart.com/art/Legolas-175279824? Legolas], [http://gold-seven.deviantart.com/art/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-Project-198119388? LOTR], [http://silinde-ar-feiniel.deviantart.com/art/La-calla-perdida-193976458? The Lost Road], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/26812093#/d4atgnv Galadriel], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/26812093#/d4bti7j Maedrhos], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/26812093#/d3d4p0q Arwen], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/26812093#/d36i3se Finrod], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/26812093#/d35v5vl Finrod], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d3c2az0 Tirion], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=72#/d35pq2f Gandalf rides to MT], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=96#/d3361mm Aragorn], [http://jankolas.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=96#/d31kbkb Rivendell]. Actually al his/her images are great. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 14:33, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

::::::::::A photo, because I think we have so few of them! And yes, a general request to use their art would be good. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 15:00, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

:::::::::::How's [http://smeagel.webs.com/photos/Elrond/Elrond%2520Silver%2520Shirt.jpg this one]?--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 17:34, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

::::::::::::That one is good. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 18:53, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

:::::::::::::It is! --{{User:Mith/sig}} 08:45, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

'''Not a Noldo''' – in the essay "The Problem of -Ros", Tolkien states that, although his ancestry includes all elven clans, Elrond favored his Sindarin descent preeminently. I have removed reference to him as a Noldorin elf. Inasmuch as he chose to be an elf, he also gets a say in his heritage, which is Sindarin.

== Infobox image ==

I think we should change the infobox image to something like [[:File:NOLANOS - Elrond.jpeg|this]] because illustrations based on the novels are favoured. If anyone has any suggestions, I am open to all. Also, two other images on the page are from the films while there is a [[:Category:Images of Elrond|supply]] of others. --[[User:DoctorWellington|DoctorWellington]] 23:20, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

:I agree it should be changed. My own preference is [[:File:Ana Kusicka - Elrond.jpg|this image]]; although I like the one you've chosen, long images in infoboxes can create a bit of a problem with the layout of the page so they should be avoided (see [[Tar-Telperiën]]). --{{User:Mith/sig}} 08:30, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

::True. The image you suggested is very good, and it won't make the infobox interfere with the page content. --[[User:DoctorWellington|DoctorWellington]] 14:58, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

== Lineage breakdown? ==

Should i add a breakdown of elrond's lineage into the page? it might be useful. also inform me if i should add the same breakdown onto elros's page? --[[User:Kulid123|Kulid123]] 22:08, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

== Inaccurate statement ==

Subsequently he became the only character to appear in all three of The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings.

This statement isn't accurate as Gandalf is also mentioned in all three.
