<p>172.70.200.142: /* Past Tense? */ new section</p> <hr /> <div>Should we add &quot;History&quot; sections to the chapters, detailing their evolution? --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 17:17, 29 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> :&quot;Should&quot;? You don't have to do anything, of course! ;-) However, I think it would be, indeed, a nice addition to an article! Great idea! ~ [[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 14:19, 30 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Past Tense? ==<br /> <br /> [[The Fellowship of the Rings]] describes the events of the book in the present tense, as is customary when reporting a narrative. This page, (as well as all other pages for chapters) describes events in the ''past'' tense, as is customary when reporting history.<br /> <br /> Since &quot;A Long-expected Party&quot; is an out-of-universe concept - a chapter of the novel - '''shouldn't it be in the present tense as well?'''<br /> <br /> Same goes for each other chapter article, of course. ---[[Special:Contributions/172.70.200.142|172.70.200.142]] 01:39, 15 May 2023 (UTC)</div>
