== Premise ==
{{blockquote|Amazon Studios' forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.|Official synopsis<ref>{{webcite|author=Justin Sewell|articleurl=http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2021/01/12/110065-exclusive-official-show-synopsis-for-amazons-lord-of-the-rings-series/|articlename=EXCLUSIVE: Official Show Synopsis for Amazon’s LORD OF THE RINGS Series|dated=12 January 2021|website=[http://www.theonering.net TheOneRing]|accessed=13 January 2021}}</ref>}}

== Justify ==

Ok.But I want you to know that I don't have any bad intentions.I mean, I am not trying to destroy Tolkien Gateway, I am trying to improve it. [[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]]

:Don't worry. I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm sure you can make good contributions, and making new articles is in part needed, but maybe you could focus more on filling them. That would be very useful. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 21:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

== Galadriel ==
Hi LorenzoCB. I recently edited the page on Galadriel, but you claimed I disregard terms used in the source and said my edits were poor. I would like to know where I went wrong. I did add a little inference, as some of the story of Galadriel does not align with the main procession of events. None the less it is cannon.
I noticed that some part of the page were not chronically correct and missing significant information. I would appreciate clarification. Thanks. {{unsigned|Bobsagit103}}

:I recommend that you act as an example and that you clarify here which parts of the Galadriel page are not chronologically correct or are missing which significant information and provide the reasons and the references to sources for that. Any speculation/theory/inference should be clearly prased as a possibility not a fact and the reason on which the possibility is based should be provided and accompanied by a reference for that reason (i.e. "It is possible that ..., because"). Usually LorenzoCB is a thorough editor and he rewrote the Galaxriel page. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 06:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. Akhorahil, I can answer by myself, thanks. Bobsagit, I undid your edits mainly because you used terms that are not used in the sources; for example "Lady of Eregion" (even if she acted as the lady there, the term appears nowhere IIRC). Also, Galadriel created alliances against the growing Evil, but nobody knew it was Sauron till the creation of the One Ring. The name "Annatar" is not given in the source used in the text. You removed several details, like dates and events. Besides, I'll soon revise the article, in which I will probably remove the idea of Galadriel and Celeborn as the founders of Eregion, among many other things. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 10:28, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

==Please block the users Jamesmaria1525 and Mariajames1525 and their IP address==
The reason is spam if you look at the edit. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 06:44, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
:Done. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 11:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

== Trotter ==

Hello.Why did you reversed the edit that I did on the page Trotter?This character is non-canon, he was not used in this form that Tolkien originally imagined.This name was not used eventually by Tolkien. Do you deny that? ---[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]], 12.16, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. You reversed my edit in first place instead of discussing it. There is no not-canon because everything is canon in its own context. That's the policy of the wiki and that's why I finally deleted the category. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 13:24, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

== Images ==

I would like to explain something.I uploaded these images today in a hurry.I didnt't do it on purpose.Do you understand what I am saying? I would also like to ask you something. Why did you deleted the image that I just uploaded again?It is permitted here, on Tolkien Gateway, to be upoaded images type webp.--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 00:10, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

I would like to explain something extra.As you can see, I just upladed more images.I have nothing more to say.But I would like these images not to be deleted, because they are good images visually, and not only that.What do you say? I am not trying to destroy Tolkien Gateway.I am trying to improve it.--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 02:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. I know you are not trying to destroy TG. You are making a necessary work. There was no problem you uploaded those images with bad file names, a common beginner's mistake. But why do you excuse yourself, and ask others to fix it, and then you proceed to upload more with the same problems? Also, webp is an annoying format; that's why I reuploaded those. You cannot make others to clean what you can easlily do while uploading an image. Please, take this into account when you come back. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 06:41, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

== Say Something ==

Hello.Thank you.I will try not to do it again.But this is not the first time that I upload images here, on Tolkien Gateway, as you may know.Maybe I do it in a hurry, but I do it with good intentions, not with bad intentions, I mean to destroy Tolkien Gateway.Do you understand what I am saying?--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 15:00, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

== Arondir image ==

I would like to explain something.I don't know, something went wrong possibly.I didn't do it on purpose (the image of Arondir that I just uploaded).Anyway.But I didn't do it with bad intentions. --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 21:15, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

:Don't worry. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 12:56, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

== Images ==

Hello. I would like to ask you something. I would like to rename the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag2.jpg to File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg and to delete the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg that exists.I uploaded both of these images, but in the first image (the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg), when I uploaded it, I didn't see that this image has subtitles (actually I uploaded in a hurry), and that is why I uploaded the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag2.jpg and that is why I also want the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg to be deleted.Can you do it? It sounds complicated.Do you understand what I am saying? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 21:39, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. It's done. Please, avoid uploading images in a hurry. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 16:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello.I would like to ask you something.I didn't think it clearly about these two images that I just uploaded (about Nazgul leaving Minas Morgul).So, can you see and judge which of these two images needs to be deleted?In my opinion, the File:The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy - Nazgul exiting Minas Morgul.jpg‎ needs to be deleted because this image is not very clear.I will try no to do it again. What do you say? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 22:05, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

:The last one uploaded is better. If you want an image to be deleted, just put the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 22:42, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

I would like to ask you something.If you see the [[:File:The Rings of Power (TV series) - Celebrimbor.jpg]] closely, you will see that the name Amazon Studios appears there.I uploaded a new version of this image without the name Amazon Studios, but it still appears there.Can you do something about that?I don't know what else to do.Today I noticed the existence of this name on the image. Do you undestand what I am saying? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 15:04, 03 December 2022 (UTC)

:Apaprently, the current one doesn't have the little name. Sometimes when you revert an image or upload a new version, it takes a time to be updated, so better leave it so you don't revert things to the wrong one again. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 15:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello.I would like to ask you something. Why did you deleted the files Tar-Miiel No2 and Mount Doom erupts No2? All these images were related to The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series.Now, there is only one image Tar-Miiel as depicted in The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series, and the same thing happens also about Mount Doom on image in The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series. Should these images be used somewhere, in some page I mean, and if yes, why? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 16:39, 04 December 2022 (UTC)

:Because they were redundant files. Please, don't make me explain everything I do. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
== Old Users ==

I would like to ask you something.I have noticed that Users [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] and [[User:Mith|Mith]] don't interfere in Tolkien Gateway's function anymore.Do you know why? I am saying that because they remain administrators of Tolkien Gateway. Do you have any contact with them or not? Do you know something more about them generally? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]), 22:47, 05 December 2022 (UTC)

:I have never been in contact with Ederchil, but I message Mith once in a while: he is very busy. I assume that having me around allows him to not worry about TG. In case I left, I'd let him know; but you know, being an admin doesn't oblige us to be active here. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

::I think that [[User:Mith]] is the current chair of English Tolkien Society, isn't it? His real name is Shaun Gunner, I think. Or not? Furthemore, I would like to ask you and something else. Is there any active American user here, on Tolkien Gateway or not? Right now, I mean, of American nationality and origins. --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]), 23:12, 05 December 2022 (UTC)

:::It's well stated in Shaun's article he is Mith. I'm not giving you more info than the users are willing to give in their userpage. Why don't you ask in the Discord server if there is an American around? Btw, you are active there: why don't you just text me there instead of using my talkpage constantly? --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:33, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]], I am Chad Bornholdt, the "Chad in Texas" you hear about on several podcasts (Tolkien Professor,Prancing Pony,etc.) Do you have a question related to the USA & Tolkien? I also know Shawn Gunner if you need me to contact him. (I'm easy to find on FB & I love helping people with Tolkien!)

I actually got on here to ask [[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] a question because I don't see how to Privately Message someone on here: I am on TG CONSTANTLY. I mean, at least 3 or 4 hours per day, quoting it to others, etc. Most of my editing is when someone tells me they found a typo or other small things like that. I've never found anything horribly wrong. Anyway, today I received an email that you edited the Tengwar page, undoing something I'd edited. However, all I did on that page was change "indepedent sounds" to "independent sounds". I'm positive I didn't do anything else, but I see you did some rearranging. Is that why it emailed me, to alert me to the rearrangements? (also if there's a way to PM so everyone doesn't have to read everything...) {{unsigned|Chad in Texas}}

:Hi Chad. No, I just checked, and your edit wasn't undo. I edited the Tengwar article an hour ago or so. You must have clicked on "Watch page", so you got an email alerting you that the page has been edited. We no longer have the option to directly send emails to users, unless it is provided in the userpage. But you can join the [[Chat]] if you want.

== 172.70.206.107 ==

Hello. An unregistered user named 172.70.206.107 did a vandalism I think on page The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game‎.For now, it's OK, I reversed it, I fixed it I mean, but I suggest you not to block him for now at least. What do you say? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 00:28, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

:I usually block reiterative vandals, and I prefer avoid blocking IDs. You don't need to consult me about undoing vandalism/spam. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 01:16, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

::I just suggested it.I didn't insist. --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 01:21, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

== Tolkien Gateway:Meetings ==

Hello.I would like to ask you something. Do you know about Tolkien Gateway:Meetings? If you dont understand, [[Tolkien Gateway:Meetings|this is]] what I am talking about. Why doesn't anyone of you make these meetings like these of the past? You are an administrator, so you have the ability to do such a meeting.I am not an administrator, so I dont have this abiliy.Besides, I dont think will answer to such a call, because I am not administrator. So, why such meetings are yet to come here, on Tolkien Gateway? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 14:51, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

:Yes I know about them. I wasn't involved with TG back then. Those meetings were hold back when communication was more complicated and there were more admins and users involved with the wiki. Currently, important decisions are taken by Hyarion and me, who are publically in contact in the [[Chat|Discord server]]. Actually, you could talk to me more easily there rather than in my talkpage. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 15:31, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

== Tolkien Gateway anniversary ==

Hello.I would like to say something.January 1st of 2023, (I mean in seven days from now on), marks the twentieth anniversary of the creation of Tolkien Gateway.Should this be celebrated somehow, by organizing an online party, I mean? If you want, you can sugget it and to the other users of Tolkien Gateway. What do you say? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 22:30, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

:Hello. I believe TG's anniversaries are counted from 3 June 2005, but anycase I agree it would be a nice idea to meet up. I commented about it a while ago in the Discord server. Idk if everyone (including me) will be free on new year day, but I'll ask which day would be best. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 10:05, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

== Question ==

Hello. I would like to ask you something. May I become an [[Tolkien Gateway:Gatekeepers|Gatekeeper]] of TG? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 23:40, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

== Bilbo's Last Song question ==

Hello,
I am a used/rare book dealer specializing in the Inklings.
In your section on Bilbo's Last Song you do not mention a 2002 printing by Knopf. Am I missing some nuance?
ISBN 978-0-375-82373-2

I love your site and use it often.

Regards

{{nospam|shelleyandsonbooks|gmail.com}}

:Hello. Generally we didn't include US editions for the book galleries, as it would be an overwhelming amount of work in some cases. Are there more editions of this book missing?

== Cirth pages' problems ==

I am on TG several hours a day, usually fixing very small errors. (I know Tolkien extremely well. I know Wiki very little.)

I am also in the process of making a "Cirth Training" spreadsheet.

I noticed a LOT of problems with the Cirth pages, but there are so many that I don't want to change anything until I talk to who created them to see why they laid out the pages as they did.
I believe their interpretation of JRR's in-world history of Cirth development is way off, but I want to ensure I'm not just misunderstanding their intentions.

What do you think my best path for finding & discussing with the author all the following pages?
"Cirth"
"Certhas Daeron"
"Angerthas Daeron"
"Angerthas Moria"
"Angerthas Erebor"

:Hi. Remember this is a wiki open to everyone. No article is authored and you are free to edit any of them, but I understand why you may want to talk. You can check previous edits in the History section of an article (commonly above in the right). I notice [[User:Sage]] made the main edits for the Cirth article, no idea if he made the mistakes you have in mind. I agree those have some issue, seeing them at first sight. Again, feel free to edit, always following the [[TG:Manual of Style]] and adding the required references. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 12:01, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello LorenzoCB, I am MEGRIMLOCK. I have noticed a lot of blocking happening throughout TG because of inaccuracies, and I want to apologize in advance if I am one of those causing the inaccuracies. I am a lore-2 Tolkienist, and many of my edits are small things about the obvious parts of Middle-Earth. If I make a mistake, please tell me about it on my [[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]] page so that I may fix it. Thank you in advance, [[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]], 4:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

== Justify ==

Ok.But I want you to know that I don't have any bad intentions.I mean, I am not trying to destroy Tolkien Gateway, I am trying to improve it. [[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]]

:Don't worry. I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm sure you can make good contributions, and making new articles is in part needed, but maybe you could focus more on filling them. That would be very useful. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 21:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

== Galadriel ==
Hi LorenzoCB. I recently edited the page on Galadriel, but you claimed I disregard terms used in the source and said my edits were poor. I would like to know where I went wrong. I did add a little inference, as some of the story of Galadriel does not align with the main procession of events. None the less it is cannon.
I noticed that some part of the page were not chronically correct and missing significant information. I would appreciate clarification. Thanks. {{unsigned|Bobsagit103}}

:I recommend that you act as an example and that you clarify here which parts of the Galadriel page are not chronologically correct or are missing which significant information and provide the reasons and the references to sources for that. Any speculation/theory/inference should be clearly prased as a possibility not a fact and the reason on which the possibility is based should be provided and accompanied by a reference for that reason (i.e. "It is possible that ..., because"). Usually LorenzoCB is a thorough editor and he rewrote the Galaxriel page. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 06:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. Akhorahil, I can answer by myself, thanks. Bobsagit, I undid your edits mainly because you used terms that are not used in the sources; for example "Lady of Eregion" (even if she acted as the lady there, the term appears nowhere IIRC). Also, Galadriel created alliances against the growing Evil, but nobody knew it was Sauron till the creation of the One Ring. The name "Annatar" is not given in the source used in the text. You removed several details, like dates and events. Besides, I'll soon revise the article, in which I will probably remove the idea of Galadriel and Celeborn as the founders of Eregion, among many other things. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 10:28, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

==Please block the users Jamesmaria1525 and Mariajames1525 and their IP address==
The reason is spam if you look at the edit. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 06:44, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
:Done. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 11:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

== Trotter ==

Hello.Why did you reversed the edit that I did on the page Trotter?This character is non-canon, he was not used in this form that Tolkien originally imagined.This name was not used eventually by Tolkien. Do you deny that? ---[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]], 12.16, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. You reversed my edit in first place instead of discussing it. There is no not-canon because everything is canon in its own context. That's the policy of the wiki and that's why I finally deleted the category. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 13:24, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

== Images ==

I would like to explain something.I uploaded these images today in a hurry.I didnt't do it on purpose.Do you understand what I am saying? I would also like to ask you something. Why did you deleted the image that I just uploaded again?It is permitted here, on Tolkien Gateway, to be upoaded images type webp.--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 00:10, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

I would like to explain something extra.As you can see, I just upladed more images.I have nothing more to say.But I would like these images not to be deleted, because they are good images visually, and not only that.What do you say? I am not trying to destroy Tolkien Gateway.I am trying to improve it.--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 02:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. I know you are not trying to destroy TG. You are making a necessary work. There was no problem you uploaded those images with bad file names, a common beginner's mistake. But why do you excuse yourself, and ask others to fix it, and then you proceed to upload more with the same problems? Also, webp is an annoying format; that's why I reuploaded those. You cannot make others to clean what you can easlily do while uploading an image. Please, take this into account when you come back. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 06:41, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

== Say Something ==

Hello.Thank you.I will try not to do it again.But this is not the first time that I upload images here, on Tolkien Gateway, as you may know.Maybe I do it in a hurry, but I do it with good intentions, not with bad intentions, I mean to destroy Tolkien Gateway.Do you understand what I am saying?--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 15:00, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

== Arondir image ==

I would like to explain something.I don't know, something went wrong possibly.I didn't do it on purpose (the image of Arondir that I just uploaded).Anyway.But I didn't do it with bad intentions. --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 21:15, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

:Don't worry. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 12:56, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

== Images ==

Hello. I would like to ask you something. I would like to rename the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag2.jpg to File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg and to delete the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg that exists.I uploaded both of these images, but in the first image (the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg), when I uploaded it, I didn't see that this image has subtitles (actually I uploaded in a hurry), and that is why I uploaded the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag2.jpg and that is why I also want the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg to be deleted.Can you do it? It sounds complicated.Do you understand what I am saying? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 21:39, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. It's done. Please, avoid uploading images in a hurry. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 16:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello.I would like to ask you something.I didn't think it clearly about these two images that I just uploaded (about Nazgul leaving Minas Morgul).So, can you see and judge which of these two images needs to be deleted?In my opinion, the File:The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy - Nazgul exiting Minas Morgul.jpg‎ needs to be deleted because this image is not very clear.I will try no to do it again. What do you say? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 22:05, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

:The last one uploaded is better. If you want an image to be deleted, just put the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 22:42, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

I would like to ask you something.If you see the [[:File:The Rings of Power (TV series) - Celebrimbor.jpg]] closely, you will see that the name Amazon Studios appears there.I uploaded a new version of this image without the name Amazon Studios, but it still appears there.Can you do something about that?I don't know what else to do.Today I noticed the existence of this name on the image. Do you undestand what I am saying? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 15:04, 03 December 2022 (UTC)

:Apaprently, the current one doesn't have the little name. Sometimes when you revert an image or upload a new version, it takes a time to be updated, so better leave it so you don't revert things to the wrong one again. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 15:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello.I would like to ask you something. Why did you deleted the files Tar-Miiel No2 and Mount Doom erupts No2? All these images were related to The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series.Now, there is only one image Tar-Miiel as depicted in The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series, and the same thing happens also about Mount Doom on image in The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series. Should these images be used somewhere, in some page I mean, and if yes, why? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 16:39, 04 December 2022 (UTC)

:Because they were redundant files. Please, don't make me explain everything I do. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
== Old Users ==

I would like to ask you something.I have noticed that Users [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] and [[User:Mith|Mith]] don't interfere in Tolkien Gateway's function anymore.Do you know why? I am saying that because they remain administrators of Tolkien Gateway. Do you have any contact with them or not? Do you know something more about them generally? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]), 22:47, 05 December 2022 (UTC)

:I have never been in contact with Ederchil, but I message Mith once in a while: he is very busy. I assume that having me around allows him to not worry about TG. In case I left, I'd let him know; but you know, being an admin doesn't oblige us to be active here. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

::I think that [[User:Mith]] is the current chair of English Tolkien Society, isn't it? His real name is Shaun Gunner, I think. Or not? Furthemore, I would like to ask you and something else. Is there any active American user here, on Tolkien Gateway or not? Right now, I mean, of American nationality and origins. --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]), 23:12, 05 December 2022 (UTC)

:::It's well stated in Shaun's article he is Mith. I'm not giving you more info than the users are willing to give in their userpage. Why don't you ask in the Discord server if there is an American around? Btw, you are active there: why don't you just text me there instead of using my talkpage constantly? --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:33, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]], I am Chad Bornholdt, the "Chad in Texas" you hear about on several podcasts (Tolkien Professor,Prancing Pony,etc.) Do you have a question related to the USA & Tolkien? I also know Shawn Gunner if you need me to contact him. (I'm easy to find on FB & I love helping people with Tolkien!)

I actually got on here to ask [[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] a question because I don't see how to Privately Message someone on here: I am on TG CONSTANTLY. I mean, at least 3 or 4 hours per day, quoting it to others, etc. Most of my editing is when someone tells me they found a typo or other small things like that. I've never found anything horribly wrong. Anyway, today I received an email that you edited the Tengwar page, undoing something I'd edited. However, all I did on that page was change "indepedent sounds" to "independent sounds". I'm positive I didn't do anything else, but I see you did some rearranging. Is that why it emailed me, to alert me to the rearrangements? (also if there's a way to PM so everyone doesn't have to read everything...) {{unsigned|Chad in Texas}}

:Hi Chad. No, I just checked, and your edit wasn't undo. I edited the Tengwar article an hour ago or so. You must have clicked on "Watch page", so you got an email alerting you that the page has been edited. We no longer have the option to directly send emails to users, unless it is provided in the userpage. But you can join the [[Chat]] if you want.

Hello.

Hello.I would like to ask you something. Do you know about Tolkien Gateway:Meetings? If you dont understand, [[Tolkien Gateway:Meetings|this is]] what I am talking about. Why doesn't anyone of you make these meetings like these of the past? You are an administrator, so you have the ability to do such a meeting.I am not an administrator, so I dont have this abiliy.Besides, I dont think will answer to such a call, because I am not administrator. So, why such meetings are yet to come here, on Tolkien Gateway? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 14:51, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

:Yes I know about them. I wasn't involved with TG back then. Those meetings were hold back when communication was more complicated and there were more admins and users involved with the wiki. Currently, important decisions are taken by Hyarion and me, who are publically in contact in the [[Chat|Discord server]].

Hello.I would like to say something.January 1st of 2023, (I mean in seven days from now on), marks the twentieth anniversary of the creation of Tolkien Gateway.Should this be celebrated somehow, by organizing an online party, I mean?

== Cirth pages' problems ==

I am on TG several hours a day, usually fixing very small errors. (I know Tolkien extremely well. I know Wiki very little.)

I am also in the process of making a "Cirth Training" spreadsheet.

I noticed a LOT of problems with the Cirth pages, but there are so many that I don't want to change anything until I talk to who created them to see why they laid out the pages as they did.
I believe their interpretation of JRR's in-world history of Cirth development is way off, but I want to ensure I'm not just misunderstanding their intentions.

What do you think my best path for finding & discussing with the author all the following pages?
"Cirth"
"Certhas Daeron"
"Angerthas Daeron"
"Angerthas Moria"
"Angerthas Erebor"

:Hi. Remember this is a wiki open to everyone. No article is authored and you are free to edit any of them, but I understand why you may want to talk. You can check previous edits in the History section of an article (commonly above in the right).

{{quote|Nai Eru manyuva tanwenya ar tératuvas!|[[Aulë]] in ''[[Quenta Silmarillion]]'', "[[Of Aulë and Yavanna]]"}}
I'm a fan from Spain, a member of the [[Spanish Tolkien Society]], active in the Languages Commission. My English is still on work, so I appreciate any correction, specially with the long texts.

Among my favourite characters are [[Aulë]], [[Finrod Felagund]], [[Galadriel]] and [[Tar-Palantir]].

As a converted Catholic, I like to study about Tolkien's theology and Christian implications. I also love Quenya and when I have time I "translate" the works of '''[[User:LorenzoCB/Quentandil‎|Riener Quentandil]]''', but currently I'm working on too many projects. Tolkien taught me I should finish things, but I can't help beginning things when new ideas come. I also translate back to (Neo-)Quenya, being the [http://lambendili.sociedadtolkien.org/publicaciones/lambendili/ ''Valaquenta'' in Neo-Quenya] my most completed work.

Beyond Tolkien, some of my interests are: Arthurian mythology, Hinduism, Sanskrit, lifes of saints, the ''Dune'' saga, ''Berserk'', the ''Aeneid'', ''Journey to the West'', everything related to C.S. Lewis, some works by Jodorowsky, books by Christian mystic women, devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, recording and listening to audiobooks, hiking, cooking biscuits, Dungeon Synth...

==Headcanons==
*[[Tom Bombadil]] is an extraliterary character from the tales Tolkien told to his children. Tolkien refused to remove him from his revision of ''TLOTR'' to remember us that we are reading a fairy-tale. That's why both readers and Middle-earth characters do not know where he comes from.
*[[Orcs]] were [[Orcs/Origin#Souless animals|talking beasts without soul]]. Therefore they were good creatures in their beginning, as they were directly created by Ilúvatar, but later their wills were corrupted by Morgoth. Therefore they were inclined to evil forever, unless a charitative Vala or Eru himself came to free them. If so, they could have become proper [[Incarnates]] like the [[Ents]], but they were exterminated before that happened or at least they could become civilized.
*[[Aredhel]] and [[Eöl]] are one of those few cases in which the Eldar falled into lust, as said in ''[[Laws and Customs among the Eldar]]''.
*The [[Half-elves]]'s choice was determined by their marriage, which is the union of [[hröa|hröar]]. Once they married an Elf or a Mortal, they became of that race forever. The same way, the union of the hröar in the [[Unions of Elves and Men]] demanded an ultimate choice of nature.
*The [[Ancalagon#Other versions of the legendarium|prophecy]] of [[Andreth]] is refered to the [[War of Wrath]] and was true: in his last conception, Tolkien intended that [[Túrin]] was temporarily brought back from [[Halls of Mandos|Mandos]], just like [[Beren]]. Then Túrin jumped into [[Vingilot]], and travelled with his relative [[Eärendil]] to Middle-earth. In the flying boat, Túrin slayed [[Ancalagon]], accomplishing the decisive victory against Morgoth and thus having the last word in his family's curse. Then he was finally free and leaved the Circles of the World. I was never convinced that a boat could destroy the biggest [[dragon]] in the world, but if there is a dragonslayer in it, now that's epic.
*The [[Valar]] were informed about [[Eru]]'s [[Old Hope|Incarnation]], so the first [[Christmas]] feast in the world was hold in Valinor.
*We are living in the Seventh [[Age]], which began with the Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The last and Eighth Age will begin when He returns and it will last forever as an neverending Sunday.
*The [[Dagor Dagorath]] is canon in the sense that it was meant to be included in ''The Silmarillion'', but even in the legendarium it is not suppouse to happen literally, as it comes from an artificial mix between Elven and Mannish traditions. There will be an actual battle between Good and Evil, but the breaking and healing of Arda will be acomplished by Eru himself.
*Everything is [[canon]]; we should talk about "corpus" instead. The [[Global Theory]] is true. At the same time, Christopher Tolkien's edition of ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' is the least canonical work.
*The [[Eldar]] had [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVnksxk5gyE Baroque dances].

== Justify ==

Ok.But I want you to know that I don't have any bad intentions.I mean, I am not trying to destroy Tolkien Gateway, I am trying to improve it. [[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]]

:Don't worry. I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm sure you can make good contributions, and making new articles is in part needed, but maybe you could focus more on filling them. That would be very useful. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 21:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

== Galadriel ==
Hi LorenzoCB. I recently edited the page on Galadriel, but you claimed I disregard terms used in the source and said my edits were poor. I would like to know where I went wrong. I did add a little inference, as some of the story of Galadriel does not align with the main procession of events. None the less it is cannon.
I noticed that some part of the page were not chronically correct and missing significant information. I would appreciate clarification. Thanks. {{unsigned|Bobsagit103}}

:I recommend that you act as an example and that you clarify here which parts of the Galadriel page are not chronologically correct or are missing which significant information and provide the reasons and the references to sources for that. Any speculation/theory/inference should be clearly prased as a possibility not a fact and the reason on which the possibility is based should be provided and accompanied by a reference for that reason (i.e. "It is possible that ..., because"). Usually LorenzoCB is a thorough editor and he rewrote the Galaxriel page. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 06:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. Akhorahil, I can answer by myself, thanks. Bobsagit, I undid your edits mainly because you used terms that are not used in the sources; for example "Lady of Eregion" (even if she acted as the lady there, the term appears nowhere IIRC). Also, Galadriel created alliances against the growing Evil, but nobody knew it was Sauron till the creation of the One Ring. The name "Annatar" is not given in the source used in the text. You removed several details, like dates and events. Besides, I'll soon revise the article, in which I will probably remove the idea of Galadriel and Celeborn as the founders of Eregion, among many other things. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 10:28, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

==Please block the users Jamesmaria1525 and Mariajames1525 and their IP address==
The reason is spam if you look at the edit. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 06:44, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
:Done. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 11:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

== Trotter ==

Hello.Why did you reversed the edit that I did on the page Trotter?This character is non-canon, he was not used in this form that Tolkien originally imagined.This name was not used eventually by Tolkien. Do you deny that? ---[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]], 12.16, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. You reversed my edit in first place instead of discussing it. There is no not-canon because everything is canon in its own context. That's the policy of the wiki and that's why I finally deleted the category. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 13:24, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

== Images ==

I would like to explain something.I uploaded these images today in a hurry.I didnt't do it on purpose.Do you understand what I am saying? I would also like to ask you something. Why did you deleted the image that I just uploaded again?It is permitted here, on Tolkien Gateway, to be upoaded images type webp.--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 00:10, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

I would like to explain something extra.As you can see, I just upladed more images.I have nothing more to say.But I would like these images not to be deleted, because they are good images visually, and not only that.What do you say? I am not trying to destroy Tolkien Gateway.I am trying to improve it.--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 02:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. I know you are not trying to destroy TG. You are making a necessary work. There was no problem you uploaded those images with bad file names, a common beginner's mistake. But why do you excuse yourself, and ask others to fix it, and then you proceed to upload more with the same problems? Also, webp is an annoying format; that's why I reuploaded those. You cannot make others to clean what you can easlily do while uploading an image. Please, take this into account when you come back. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 06:41, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

== Say Something ==

Hello.Thank you.I will try not to do it again.But this is not the first time that I upload images here, on Tolkien Gateway, as you may know.Maybe I do it in a hurry, but I do it with good intentions, not with bad intentions, I mean to destroy Tolkien Gateway.Do you understand what I am saying?--[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 15:00, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

== Arondir image ==

I would like to explain something.I don't know, something went wrong possibly.I didn't do it on purpose (the image of Arondir that I just uploaded).Anyway.But I didn't do it with bad intentions. --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 21:15, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

:Don't worry. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 12:56, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

== Images ==

Hello. I would like to ask you something. I would like to rename the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag2.jpg to File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg and to delete the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg that exists.I uploaded both of these images, but in the first image (the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg), when I uploaded it, I didn't see that this image has subtitles (actually I uploaded in a hurry), and that is why I uploaded the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag2.jpg and that is why I also want the image File:Shadow of Mordor - Ratbag.jpg to be deleted.Can you do it? It sounds complicated.Do you understand what I am saying? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 21:39, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

:Hi. It's done. Please, avoid uploading images in a hurry. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 16:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello.I would like to ask you something.I didn't think it clearly about these two images that I just uploaded (about Nazgul leaving Minas Morgul).So, can you see and judge which of these two images needs to be deleted?In my opinion, the File:The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy - Nazgul exiting Minas Morgul.jpg‎ needs to be deleted because this image is not very clear.I will try no to do it again. What do you say? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 22:05, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

:The last one uploaded is better. If you want an image to be deleted, just put the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 22:42, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

I would like to ask you something.If you see the [[:File:The Rings of Power (TV series) - Celebrimbor.jpg]] closely, you will see that the name Amazon Studios appears there.I uploaded a new version of this image without the name Amazon Studios, but it still appears there.Can you do something about that?I don't know what else to do.Today I noticed the existence of this name on the image. Do you undestand what I am saying? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 15:04, 03 December 2022 (UTC)

:Apaprently, the current one doesn't have the little name. Sometimes when you revert an image or upload a new version, it takes a time to be updated, so better leave it so you don't revert things to the wrong one again. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 15:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello.I would like to ask you something. Why did you deleted the files Tar-Miiel No2 and Mount Doom erupts No2? All these images were related to The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series.Now, there is only one image Tar-Miiel as depicted in The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series, and the same thing happens also about Mount Doom on image in The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power series. Should these images be used somewhere, in some page I mean, and if yes, why? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 16:39, 04 December 2022 (UTC)

:Because they were redundant files. Please, don't make me explain everything I do. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
== Old Users ==

I would like to ask you something.I have noticed that Users [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] and [[User:Mith|Mith]] don't interfere in Tolkien Gateway's function anymore.Do you know why? I am saying that because they remain administrators of Tolkien Gateway. Do you have any contact with them or not? Do you know something more about them generally? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]), 22:47, 05 December 2022 (UTC)

:I have never been in contact with Ederchil, but I message Mith once in a while: he is very busy. I assume that having me around allows him to not worry about TG. In case I left, I'd let him know; but you know, being an admin doesn't oblige us to be active here. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

::I think that [[User:Mith]] is the current chair of English Tolkien Society, isn't it? His real name is Shaun Gunner, I think. Or not? Furthemore, I would like to ask you and something else. Is there any active American user here, on Tolkien Gateway or not? Right now, I mean, of American nationality and origins. --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]), 23:12, 05 December 2022 (UTC)

:::It's well stated in Shaun's article he is Mith. I'm not giving you more info than the users are willing to give in their userpage. Why don't you ask in the Discord server if there is an American around? Btw, you are active there: why don't you just text me there instead of using my talkpage constantly? --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 23:33, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]], I am Chad Bornholdt, the "Chad in Texas" you hear about on several podcasts (Tolkien Professor,Prancing Pony,etc.) Do you have a question related to the USA & Tolkien? I also know Shawn Gunner if you need me to contact him. (I'm easy to find on FB & I love helping people with Tolkien!)

I actually got on here to ask [[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] a question because I don't see how to Privately Message someone on here: I am on TG CONSTANTLY. I mean, at least 3 or 4 hours per day, quoting it to others, etc. Most of my editing is when someone tells me they found a typo or other small things like that. I've never found anything horribly wrong. Anyway, today I received an email that you edited the Tengwar page, undoing something I'd edited. However, all I did on that page was change "indepedent sounds" to "independent sounds". I'm positive I didn't do anything else, but I see you did some rearranging. Is that why it emailed me, to alert me to the rearrangements? (also if there's a way to PM so everyone doesn't have to read everything...) {{unsigned|Chad in Texas}}

:Hi Chad. No, I just checked, and your edit wasn't undo. I edited the Tengwar article an hour ago or so. You must have clicked on "Watch page", so you got an email alerting you that the page has been edited. We no longer have the option to directly send emails to users, unless it is provided in the userpage. But you can join the [[Chat]] if you want.

== 172.70.206.107 ==

Hello. An unregistered user named 172.70.206.107 did a vandalism I think on page The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game‎.For now, it's OK, I reversed it, I fixed it I mean, but I suggest you not to block him for now at least. What do you say? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 00:28, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

:I usually block reiterative vandals, and I prefer avoid blocking IDs. You don't need to consult me about undoing vandalism/spam. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 01:16, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

== Tolkien Gateway:Meetings ==

Hello.I would like to ask you something. Do you know about Tolkien Gateway:Meetings? If you dont understand, [[Tolkien Gateway:Meetings|this is]] what I am talking about. Why doesn't anyone of you make these meetings like these of the past? You are an administrator, so you have the ability to do such a meeting.I am not an administrator, so I dont have this abiliy.Besides, I dont think will answer to such a call, because I am not administrator. So, why such meetings are yet to come here, on Tolkien Gateway? --[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]] ([[User talk:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου|talk]]) 14:51, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

:Yes I know about them. I wasn't involved with TG back then. Those meetings were hold back when communication was more complicated and there were more admins and users involved with the wiki. Currently, important decisions are taken by Hyarion and me, who are publically in contact in the [[Chat|Discord server]]. Actually, you could talk to me more easily there rather than in my talkpage. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 15:31, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

== Tolkien Gateway anniversary ==

Hello.I would like to say something.January 1st of 2023, (I mean in seven days from now on), marks the twentieth anniversary of the creation of Tolkien Gateway.Should this be celebrated somehow, by organizing an online party, I mean?

:Hello. I believe TG's anniversaries are counted from 3 June 2005, but anycase I agree it would be a nice idea to meet up. I commented about it a while ago in the Discord server. Idk if everyone (including me) will be free on new year day, but I'll ask which day would be best. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 10:05, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

== Bilbo's Last Song question ==

Hello,
I am a used/rare book dealer specializing in the Inklings.
In your section on Bilbo's Last Song you do not mention a 2002 printing by Knopf. Am I missing some nuance?
ISBN 978-0-375-82373-2

I love your site and use it often.

Regards
Stan Shelley

:Hello. Generally we didn't include US editions for the book galleries, as it would be an overwhelming amount of work in some cases. Are there more editions of this book missing? I guess we could include them. Thanks. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 10:34, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

== ΟΚ ==

Hello user. I didn't do it with bad intentions.I did it with good intentions, and I will try not to do it again.OK?----[[User:Γιάννης Ευαγγελίου]], 14:41, 06 February 2023 (UTC)

== Cirth pages' problems ==

I am on TG several hours a day, usually fixing very small errors. (I know Tolkien extremely well. I know Wiki very little.)

I am also in the process of making a "Cirth Training" spreadsheet.

I noticed a LOT of problems with the Cirth pages, but there are so many that I don't want to change anything until I talk to who created them to see why they laid out the pages as they did.
I believe their interpretation of JRR's in-world history of Cirth development is way off, but I want to ensure I'm not just misunderstanding their intentions.

What do you think my best path for finding & discussing with the author all the following pages?
"Cirth"
"Certhas Daeron"
"Angerthas Daeron"
"Angerthas Moria"
"Angerthas Erebor"

:Hi. Remember this is a wiki open to everyone. No article is authored and you are free to edit any of them, but I understand why you may want to talk. You can check previous edits in the History section of an article (commonly above in the right). I notice [[User:Sage]] made the main edits for the Cirth article, no idea if he made the mistakes you have in mind. I agree those have some issue, seeing them at first sight. Again, feel free to edit, always following the [[TG:Manual of Style]] and adding the required references. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 12:01, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

==Blocking me==

Hello LorenzoCB, I am MEGRIMLOCK. I have noticed a lot of blocking happening throughout TG because of inaccuracies, and I want to apologize in advance if I am one of those causing the inaccuracies. I am a lore-2 Tolkienist, and many of my edits are small things about the obvious parts of Middle-Earth. If I make a mistake, please tell me about it on my [[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]] page so that I may fix it. Thank you in advance, [[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]], 4:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

:Hello. Don't worry. My function is not looking for users to block. I'm actually quite patient and we will teach you if you do something wrong. I'll warn you always before blocking, unless you don't keep respect.--[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 17:35, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you.--
[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] 6:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

==Sorry to Bother you again==

Sorry to bother you again, but while I was editing other pages it would not allow me to edit, saying that my IP address was used by [[User:Dour1234|Dour1234]] and that I was not allowed to edit. I can assure you that I am not Dour1234, and I am unable to edit at certain points. if you can tell me why, I would be happy for an explanation.--
[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] 18:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

:I didn't remove the option to block the recent IPs of the blocked user, my bad. I think it must be solved already. If there is any problem, please tell me. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 11:11, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

==About Me==
Hello, my name is MEGRIMLOCK, and I am a casual Tolkien fan. I enjoy Tolkien and his works, and I rank The Lord Of The Rings at number 5 in my best fantasy books, while The Hobbit is number 9. I read The Hobbit when I was 6, and then I read The Lord Of The Rings at 8. I am an insane reader and enjoy classics more than books written today, so Tolkien's books really jumped out at me, and I thought they were amazing.

==My Library==
* ''[[The Hobbit]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]],'' [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Two Towers]],'' [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Return of the King]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Children of Hurin]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Fall of Gondolin]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]

==Top Ten Fantasy Books==
# Ready Player One
# Dune
# Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
# Percy Jackson And The Last Olympian
# The Lord Of The Rings (I prefer to think of it as one whole book, not three individual books)
# Jurassic Park
# The Hound Of Baskervilles
# Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
# The Hobbit
# Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief

==My Favorite Character==
My favorite character was [[Gollum]]. I'm a "go forces of evil!" kind of guy, because they always lose, so Gollum really popped out to me. When I was a young child, one of the things that I most remembered was Gollum and "My Precious." My second favorite was [[Théoden]].

==The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War==
I am a proud player of Rise to War, my faction is [[Mordor]] and my name, just like this, is MEGRIMLOCK. I am on server 941 and my favorite commander is [[Lurtz]]. I have another account on server 943, my name is, again, MEGRIMLOCK, my faction is [[Lothlórien]], and my favorite commander on that account is [[Gandalf the White]].

MEGRIMLOCK: Created page with "==Year of Death== when I was browsing, I noticed that in The First Age year 501, Mim dies, but on his page it says he dies in Fi..."

==Year of Death==
when I was browsing, I noticed that in [[Timeline/First Age|The First Age]] year [[First Age 501|501]], [[Mim]] dies, but on his page it says he dies in [[First Age 502|F.A.502]]. I am confused, and Mim and Turin die in the same year, so they must die on either F.A. 501 or 502. If someone could answer this, I would be happy--[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] ([[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]]) 8:14, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there MEGRIMLOCK, I’ve reversed an edit you just made on [[Sharku]]. This was because disambig templates shouldn’t be removed unless there’s a really good reason (probably best to ask if you’re not sure) and also etymology should relate only to the character in the page; not “this was also X persons name” (that’s what the disambig was for…)

Secondly it looks like you’re uploading images without adding a summary, categories, licensing or correct file names.

Please read [[help:Images]] to make sure anything you upload isn’t later deleted.
Happy editing -[[User:JR Snow|JR Snow]] ([[User talk:JR Snow|talk]]) 19:03, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

==About Me==
Hello, my name is MEGRIMLOCK, and I am a casual Tolkien fan. I enjoy Tolkien and his works, and I rank The Lord Of The Rings at number 5 in my best fantasy books, while The Hobbit is number 9. I read The Hobbit when I was 6, and then I read The Lord Of The Rings at 8. I am an insane reader and enjoy classics more than books written today, so Tolkien's books really jumped out at me, and I thought they were amazing.

==My Library==
* ''[[The Hobbit]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]],'' [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Two Towers]],'' [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Return of the King]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Children of Hurin]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]
* ''[[The Fall of Gondolin]]'', [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]

==Top Ten Fantasy Books==
# Ready Player One
# Dune
# Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
# Percy Jackson And The Last Olympian
# The Lord Of The Rings (I prefer to think of it as one whole book, not three individual books)
# Jurassic Park
# The Hound Of Baskervilles
# Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
# The Hobbit
# Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief

==My Favorite Character==
My favorite character was [[Gollum]]. I'm a "go forces of evil!" kind of guy, because they always lose, so Gollum really popped out to me. When I was a young child, one of the things that I most remembered was Gollum and "My Precious." My second favorite was [[Théoden]].

==The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War==
I am a proud player of Rise to War, my faction is [[Mordor]] and my name, just like this, is MEGRIMLOCK. I am on server 941 and my favorite commander is [[Lurtz]]. I have another account on server 943, my name is, again, MEGRIMLOCK, my faction is [[Lothlórien]], and my favorite commander on that account is [[Gandalf the White]].

Master of Lake-town

2023-05-02T15:49:56Z

MEGRIMLOCK:

The '''Master of Lake-town''' was the title given to the leader of [[Lake-town]] during the late [[Third Age]].<ref name=Return>{{H|Return}}</ref>

==History==
According to the Master who held this title at the arrival of [[Thorin and Company]] in Lake-town in {{TA|2941}}, the masters had always been elected from among the old and wise.<ref name=Fire>{{H|Fire}}</ref>

[[File:Henning Janssen - Master above the Lake.jpg|thumb|left|''Master above the Lake'' by [[Henning Janssen]]]]
During the [[Quest of Erebor]] in {{TA|2941}}, when the [[Thorin and Company]] arrived in Lake-town, they were taken by the [[Braga|Captain of the guard]] through the market-place to a great hall where the current Master was feasting. Subsequently, Thorin declared the return of the King under the Mountain. These news spread quickly throughout the town and the people began to shout, sing, and rejoice. The Master doubted that there ever was a 'King under the Mountain' but he had to take heed of the clamour. Therefore he pretended to believe Thorin's story and the Master yielded his own great chair to him. The Master accommodated the Dwarves and [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] for two weeks before they thought about departing for the [[Lonely Mountain]]. The Master was shocked that Thorin would dare to approach [[Smaug]] and he wondered whether he really was who he said he was. All the same, he was more than willing to let them go because they were expensive to keep and their arrival had caused business to come to a standstill. Alongside his councillors, the Master "''bade them farewell from the great steps of the town-hall''".<ref name=Welcome>{{H|Welcome}}</ref>

When Smaug attacked Lake-town, the people urged the Master to tell them what needed to be done. But as the flames leaped from the dragon's jaw, the Master fled in his gilded boat. Thus it was that [[Bard]] took control of the situation and ultimately slew the dragon himself. The surviving townsfolk gathered on the western shore of the [[Long Lake]] and lamented at the loss of their home. The people then directed their anger at the Master, accusing him of selfishness and calling him "Moneybags". They demanded that Bard become their king. In response, the Master, in a demonstration of his charisma and oratorical prowess, rebutted the people and convinced them that their anger should be directed towards Thorin and Company instead of him. The Master remained quiet as the survivors set up camps along the shore and Bard assumed effective control of all the people, but did so only in the Master's name. When the hosts of [[Lake-town|Esgaroth]] and the [[Thranduil|Elvenking]] set off for Erebor to demand their share in the treasure, the Master did not go. Those who stayed behind began to prepare for the oncoming winter by building huts and collecting resources; meanwhile, the Master directed the process of planning a new town.<ref name=Fire/>

After the [[Battle of Five Armies]], Bard gave a large amount of gold to the Master for the help of the Lake-people. However, the Master caught the 'dragon-sickness', stole most of the gold and fled with it from Lake-town.<ref name=Stage>{{H|Stage}}</ref> After his companions had deserted him, he starved to death in the [[Waste]]<ref name=Stage/> sometime between {{TA|2941}} and {{TA|2949|n}}<ref group="note">The old Master could have died any time between the end of the [[Quest of Erebor]] ({{TA|2941}}) and [[Gandalf]] and [[Balin|Balin's]] visit to Bilbo in {{TA|2949}}</ref><ref>{{App|TA}}, entries for the years 2941 and 2949, p. 1089</ref>. According to [[Balin]], the new Master of Lake-town was wiser and very popular, because the people gave him the credit for the prosperity as much wealth went up and down the [[River Running]].<ref name=Stage/>

==Portrayal in adaptations==
[[File:The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug - Master of Lake-town.jpg|thumb|The Master of Lake-town in [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]]]]

===Films===
'''2012-14: [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]]:'''
:The Master of Lake-town was played by [[Stephen Fry]].<ref>{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150257180211558|articlename=Casting News for The Hobbit|dated=19-May-2011|website=[http://www.facebook.com/ Facebook]|accessed=23-Dec-2011}}</ref> He is an incredibly corrupt, vain, and slovenly individual. Also becoming paranoid that the people of Lake-town may try to overthrow him, he uses his chief aide [[Alfrid]] to keep him abreast of the goings-on throughout the town. He sees Bard as the biggest threat to his power, and, knowing Bard is the descendent of [[Girion]], the last [[lord of Dale]], he uses every chance he can to exploit the fact that Girion was unable to bring down Smaug during the [[Dragons|Dragon]]'s destruction of [[Dale]]. When Thorin and Company arrive in the town, and [[Thorin]] promises the townspeople a share of their treasure if they succeed in taking back [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] from Smaug, the Master seizes this opportunity to approve of the Dwarves' quest in hopes of getting back into the townspeople's good graces, and when Bard tries to talk reason to the townspeople, humiliates and rebukes him. He gives the Company a hero's sendoff the following day. Later, he orders [[Braga]], the captain of the guard, to arrest and imprison Bard on any charge he chooses. When Smaug is in the process of destroying Lake-town, the Master, Alfrid, Braga, and a few other town guards attempt to make off with the town's treasury in a boat and let the others fend for themselves. To get the boat to go faster, the Master eventually pushes Alfrid overboard. After Smaug has been shot by Bard's [[Black Arrow]], the Dragon falls directly onto the Master's boat while plunging to his death into Long Lake, presumably taking everyone aboard with him.

===Radio series===
'''1968: [[The Hobbit (1968 radio series)|''The Hobbit'' (1968 radio series)]]:'''

'''2018: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''
:The Master does not make a physical appearance, but his name is revealed to be Othur in a Lake-town quest dialogue.

==Current nominations==
===[[Gandalf]]===
It's a pretty impressive article, and well deserved for my favourite character and such an interesting character.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 07:14, 6 June 2008 (EDT)

* '''Agree'''. If I'm not mistaking, Gandalf has already been FA once. That doesn't mean it can't be again, but it's near the end of the queue. Oh, '''agree''', btw. but the sourcing needs to be a bit better. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 08:01, 6 June 2008 (EDT)

* '''Agree'''. This article is extensive, appears complete, well-referenced, and lavishly illustrated. It is a prime example of what an FA should be.--[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 13:31, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

*'''Agree'''. Yes, quite well done. Excellent, in fact.--Ingwe

* '''Agree'''. Nice long article, good information, plus good introduction into Tolkien. {{unsigned|ZehnWaters}}

*'''Agree''' A Middle Earth without Gandalf, is not a true Middle Eearth at all.--{{User:Breragor/sig}}

*'''Agree'''. After reading it, I have to admit it is the best article we have.--<tt>[[User:Odysseas-spartan-53|Odysseas]]-[[User talk:Odysseas-spartan-53|Spartan]][[Special:Contributions/Odysseas-spartan-53|53]]</tt> 10:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. Olorin, Mithrandir, Gandalf, conjurer, istar, mighty maiar, there is so much to be told of my favourite immortal. Elvenshieldmaiden

*'''Agree'''. Exellent Article! Besides, Gandalf is the heart of Tolkien's work. His article deserves to be featured. [[User:Mthomas|mthomas]] 12:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. The first thing new users see is the main page, and generally people are most familiar with Gandalf. --Yurpee

*'''Agree'''. A central character in the LoTR trilogy. Everyone knows who he is and he deserves a good moment in the spotlight. -- Naruvir

*'''Disagree''' - I think it's a big cluttered in its structure and severely lacks sources required to make it worthy of the title. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 14:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. It definitely deserves to be featured, but I think later, after the revisions are done because of the Hobbit movies coming. {{Unsigned|Lilybell}}

*'''Agree'''. It is a well written article, the main picture is appropriate, and there are very little red links. This article gives a great introduction to Gandalf for someone who is new to Tolkien's works. Plus, the character is just all-around amazing. --[[User:Joszyboom|Joszyboom]]

*'''Agree'''. I think it is an important fact that Gandalf is a Miar, and not just a human with powers. I don't think that many people would know that, but it is important and this will help. -- quark

*'''Agree'''. I remember when I was just getting into Tolkien's works in 6th grade with The Hobbit and had no idea who Gandalf was then I went to LOTR and Gandalf with the "You Shall Not Pass" I was amazed and started to delve deeper but that was my own initiative if this article goes on the home page then any new Tolkien reader would go and read it learning a substantial amount of knowledge. -- Aragorn is Awesome

*'''Agree'''. But, people get so excited about editing his article that they forget the citations...--[[User:Erónèhire|Erónèhire]] 02:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. It's a pretty big article and includes all information like detailed history as well as many images.--Shivam 07:38, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

*'''Disagree'''. Needs more references and the matter of his names is a mess. I'd change my vote if this is solved (I hope I can contribute anytime soon). --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] 11:00, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

===[[Dwalin]]===
As Smaug has been featured for almost nine months now I think it is time to look for a new featured article. Personally I think [[Dwalin]] might be a good choice. It is well-writen, sourced, no maintaince templates and only one red link. Although Dwalin isn't as long as previous featured articles, it covers (almost) all information that can be found in the books. And, with [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]] coming this year people will search for more information about the Hobbit and characters/locations. Therefore it would be good if an article related to The Hobbit will appear on the main page. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 19:57, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

:+1.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 20:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

:Any other opinions? --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 14:53, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

::I don't like the main image.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 15:20, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

:::I kind of agree, but we don't have many other images of him. The only other suitable image seems to be [[:File:New Line Cinema - Dwalin 2.png|this one]]. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 19:55, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

::::Why not an image from The Hobbit film?--[[User:Erónèhire|Erónèhire]] 02:31, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

===[[Bard]]===
Although Gondolin has only been featured for just over 3 months, I think that the featured article should be updated more often. I feel that [[Bard]] is a great option, because sometimes i think he's underappreciated. He played a big part in The Battle of the Five Armies, and was the King of [[Dale]] for quite some time. --[[User:BrandonEchols|BrandonEchols]] 00:01, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. It's a good article. However, I disagree with updating things more often. I've taken the resolution to update the whole Main Page exactly twice a year, in due dates.--[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] ([[User talk:LorenzoCB|talk]]) 12:07, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. I think it would be a good choice, because he is '''truly''' underappreciated.--[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] ([[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]]) 13:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

*'''Disagree'''. While the article is interesting and while he is an important character in [[The Hobbit]], the article does not fullfill the criteria for nomination yet. It lacked references for the dates of his rule, the dates of his death and his minimum age at the time of his death. In addition, there were errors in the article. I corrected errors and added references, but the article is not finished yet. --[[User:Akhorahil|Akhorahil]] ([[User talk:Akhorahil|talk]]) 15:36, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

:True, I will help work on his page.--[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] ([[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]]) 16:40, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Main Page

2023-05-01T16:20:49Z

MEGRIMLOCK: new main page suggestion

'''This Talk page is for discussing the Main Page and general comments. To discuss the development of Tolkien Gateway itself, please see [[Forums:Council]].'''

==Good Ideas==

As my knowledge of all things [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] is far inferior to that of some things [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki], I want to suggest some things...

First of all: Page titles such as [[Barahir grandson of Faramir]] should be avoided as much as possible. Only when there are more than one [[Barahir]]s should this be used. If you have to do this, do it this way: '''Barahir (grandson of Faramir)''' so you don't forget whether or not you added that dratted comma...

Further it might be an idea to add a sort of "pub" for this kind of discussions. - [[User:Bokkie|Bokkie]] 18:04, 3 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Great points. Barahir is one of those names that are used quite frequently, i.e. [[Barahir son of Bregor]], [[Barahir son of Hador]], [[Barahir grandson of
Faramir]], etc. In the beginning I was debating whether to do the parenthesis or not, but now that you bring it up, it is most likely something that we need to use.

A portal for discussion other than the main page is a good idea too, I'll try and think of a good name for something, although [[Portal]] might work, heh.

Thanks for your comments. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 16:45, 5 Sep 2005 (EDT)

:A good idea we could do to make sure all of the pages ( well at least most of them ) is we go to random pages and if that page does not have much information on it and you don't know much about what the page is about read about it, and not on other wed sites what J. R. R. Tolkien has to say about them, in his books and letters. [[User:Vaire|Vaire]]

::That approach is, as the option suggests, random. Better to clean up by category. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 21:20, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey we coould post the LOTR soundtracks so you can listen or download the soundtracks. {{Unsigned|Hobbit25}}

:That would be nice, but illegal.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 14:25, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

==Feedback==
Very intresting wiki site!... Thanx! --[[User:213.228.84.66|213.228.84.66]] 18:31, 15 October 2005 (EDT)

: Thanks for the compliment :) It's people like you who keep me motivated. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 18:45, 15 October 2005 (EDT)

I've got to second this user's enthusiasim. I've recently gone back into the Silmarillion and stumbled upon this wiki. It's amazing. Far better than others I've seen. I especially appreciate the panoply of images. It really gives a kick to a 300 word article on some third string elf who died in the First Age. I also want to compliment you people on the new skin. It's both more stylized and more functional than the previous one. This just keeps getting better and better. Thanks a million. --[[User:Kosure|Kosure]] 14:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:Hi Kosure, thanks for your feedback, it is statements like yours which bring a smile to our face and encourage us to improve the wiki even more, as we still have so far to go. We look forward to seeing you around in the future. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 16:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

== license? ==
Is the content here GFDL? [[User:Gimli|Gimli]] 07:18, 6 March 2006 (EST)

:What do you mean? --[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 07:36, 6 March 2006 (EST)

::I mean is it available under the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License - can it be copied to other sites under the provisions of that licence? Also if content has been copied from wikipedia, shouldnt it be acknowledged? [[User:Gimli|Gimli]] 08:30, 6 March 2006 (EST)

:::Hello [[User:Gimli|Gimli]], yes our content is under the same license, GNU FDL as [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. Any articles derived from Wikipedia will be rewritten so we have no plans to add an acknowledgement on the articles at this time. [http://lotr.wikicities Wikicities] is free to copy our content but it is disappointing to see so many wikis working against eachother. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 10:26, 6 March 2006 (EST)

::::Hi Hyarion, I was doing alot of work on the [http://lotr.wikicities.com/wiki lotr wiki] without realising this site existed until a few days ago. now Im not sure what to do since the lotr wikicities community is going fairly well but has nowhere near as many articles as here. not sure if its worth trying to copy or what - perhaps there could be some way we could agree to format/arrange articles differently to justify having 2 tolkien wikis [[User:Gimli|Gimli]] 19:47, 6 March 2006 (EST)

:::::Ya I'm not really sure either. There's also [http://www.thetolkienwiki.org The Tolkien Wiki] and a couple other wikis out there too. I honestly can't think of any aspects the two wikis would differ on off the top of my head but let me know if you think of anything. I know Robin from the lotr wiki said he was going to concentrate on [[The Lord of the Rings]] and since we cover more than just that they didn't want to merge. Competition is always nice but I just don't like watching us waste our time doing the same things. Let me know what I can do. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 20:39, 6 March 2006 (EST)

::::::That sounds alright to me especially since I am not very familiar with [[The Silmarillion]] related things - I guess just because of the wikis names wikicities could focus on LOTR and you on JRR Tolkien himself? [[User:Gimli|Gimli]] 02:53, 9 March 2006 (EST)

::::::: Heh, unfortunately that would leave us with around 100 articles :p. Our goal since we started has been to focus on everything related to [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], including his works, non-canon material, secondary material, collectibles, languages, films, the fans, etc. As we've devoted so much time to this already I think we will be continuing on this path, sorry. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 11:36, 9 March 2006 (EST)

== Main page redesign ==

I'm trying to redesign the main page a bit so as to not scare off any visitors. If you have any suggestions just let me know and I'll add them. The introduction text should probably be rewritten, possibly shorter. I also think instead of a featured image and a featured article we could showcase a featured article with an image from that article, and a bit more text directly from the article. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 16:12, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

:IMO, the link to '''Welcome''' in the opening sentence is unnecessary, as the welcome message is just below it. Coupling the featured picture to the featured article is a sound idea if you'd ask me; gives the page some more coherence *thumbs up*. --[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 17:04, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

::Hm, good point I can take it off for now, eventually I'd like to remove the welcome statement from the main page and add it to the welcome page, and then also add a [[Tolkien Gateway]] page with information about the site if the welcome is not enough (and link to that as well). Then we can focus on news / featured articles / navigation links, hopefully it will be self-explanatory enough that people won't get confused, though I doubt many even read the paragraph. I'll try and get a Featured article page rotation going so people can submit possible featured articles, vote on them, and move them onto the main page a bit faster, as now it's just random. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 17:10, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

:::Personnally, I've no problem with a randomly chosen featured article. Why complicate things with voting and stuff? It also will point people to lesser know articles. If it's really a daily new featured article, it will liven things up a bit. Why not make it an hourly featured article, will pace the rotations circle a bit up (by a factor of 24, to be precise)! --[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 17:16, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

::::Hehe, hm, definitely a thought. I'll see if I can rig something to do it automatically but we might have to change it manually. What we could do is have [[Featured article/April 23 2006]] and the main page could have <nowiki>[[:Featured article/{{CURRENTDAY}}]]</nowiki>. I think one reason people do vote for Featured articles as it allows competition for users to rewrite and tidy up articles in hopes that their work would be featured on the main page. And if we did this we could also have an Improvement center where we post articles that need to be improved. But combining the two by doing random featured articles would work great too. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 17:22, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

== Purpose of site? ==

This is going to come across badly, I'm sure, so I apologize in advance for my skepticism. But, er, what exactly is the purpose of the Tolkien Gateway as opposed to the various other Tolkien wikis online (or, for that matter, Wikipedia itself)? In particular, it looks like a number of the articles here are at least currently based on the corresponding entries from Wikipedia. What was the argument for branching them off to form a separate site rather than simply improving them in place? (Not that I object to the impulse to create one's own site, mind you! But I feel some level of concern about fragmentation of effort.) [http://tolkien.slimy.com/ Steuard] --[[User:128.135.152.14|128.135.152.14]] 12:24, 31 May 2006 (EDT)

===Hyarion's response===
''Adding my own header as it looks like I've gone off and written a novel''

Hello Steuard, what an honor to have you here, make yourself at home :) Don't worry, your question doesn't come across badly as why we are here is an important question.

Your first question is why should we be here when there are other Tolkien wikis, good question. We’ve been around for over 3 years now, well before much of the hype surrounding wikis and when everyone and their grandmother decided to have one. With almost 4,500 articles we are currently the largest and most active Tolkien-related wiki or encyclopedia for that matter. With hundreds of updates a day, we are really growing fast and it becomes much more than one person could do on their own.

There are a couple other wikis that I have knowledge of, [http://www.thetolkienwiki.org The Tolkien Wiki] being one. I’m not a fan of that particular engine and unfortunately the activity is minimal but Walter is a great guy. Then there is [http://lotr.wikia.com lotr.wikia.com] which started later and though at first they stated they were concentrating on [[The Lord of the Rings]] it seems they have since changed and now have MERP related articles, I'm not sure where they are heading to be honest (not to sound rude I hope as I honestly don't). They also have advertisements and are a for-profit company, I don’t think the Tolkien Estate will be very pleased. There’s also a few non-English Tolkien wikis, [http://ardapedia.herr-der-ringe-film.de/index.php/Hauptseite Ardapedia] and [http://kontu.merri.net/wiki/Etusivu Kontu Wiki], I actually convinced Merri to start the Finnish wiki and he has done a great job with it. We are also considering expanding into other languages as well but we will probably concentrate on English for the next few years before trying to expand.

Wikipedia is a great project but unfortunately they can only concentrate on the major Tolkien-related articles. While we focus on ''everything'', including essays, reviews, music, publications, collectibles, images, etc. [http://starwars.wikia.com Wookieepedia] is an example of where we are heading as they have well over 30,000 articles, by far too many for any environment not specializing on the subject.

You will notice that some articles have roots from Wikipedia, yes. When we started out we borrowed some content from them as is allowed with the GNU FDL. However we have greatly improved on those articles and have been rewriting them from the ground up constantly. You will find many of our editors on the site still contribute to the Tolkien articles on Wikipedia and we are by no means trying to mimic what they do.

It seems the above still doesn’t create a convincing answer so here are some raw projects that we are working on that we would not be able to accomplish on Wikipedia:
* We are listing '''all''' Amon Hen, Mallorn, Beyond Bree, Orcrist, LotR Fan Club, Tolkien Journal, Parma Nole, Lembas Extra, Arda, etc. journals and putting their contents and cover page on their own articles. The article will of course contain links to purchase the back issue as well as the official site of the publication.
* We also received the rights this week to store all of the [[Fraud of the Rings]] comics, this is something not even freely available on the official site.

* The {{Redlink|[[Tolkien Google logo petition]]}} is something else Wikipedia would not condone.
* Screenplays for purists and The Hobbit are other projects we currently are working on.
* We also are trying to have an article for every single Tolkien-related game.
* Archiving any and all Tolkien imagery
* Listing any and all Tolkien-inspired music
* Listing all collectibles related to Tolkien and his works
* Listing all books related to the Professor and his works
[[Tolkien Gateway:Projects|etc.]]

This being said our main goal is focusing on the legendarium and the Tolkien-inspired items are only a secondary objective.

It is probably better to look at Tolkien Gateway as a community more so than simply a wiki. We also run [http://tolkiennews.net TolkienNews.net] and host sites such the [http://www.herenistarion.org North East Tolkien Society], [http://www.shirepost.com ShirePost.com], and a few more on the horizon. We also run the Tolkien IRC Network which averages 20-30 users in the main lobby and hosts sites such as [http://www.minastirith.com minastirith.com], [http://www.ancanar.com ancanar.com], [http://www.herenistarion.org herenistarion.org], [http://www.imladris.dk imladris.dk], [http://www.lotrosource.com lotrosource.com], [http://www.ardapost.com ardapost.com], etc.

Now that just looks like one big advertisement…sorry about that. If you need me to be more specific on something please let me know. We are always very open to new ideas and if you have any suggestions please let us know.

One thing I’ve been meaning to talk to you about is linking to your FAQ as well as the newsgroups. What we’ve been doing with Tolkien forums is when there is a specific topic being discussed, such as the whereabouts of the [[Entwives]], we link our article to their thread. I’d like to do this with both the Meta-FAQ and newsgroups so for example on our article on [[the Shire]] we could link to your FAQ on whether the Shire was meant to be England, etc.

Thanks for dropping by as it means a lot to us, and keep up the great work on your sites! --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 14:05, 31 May 2006 (EDT)

:Good answer. :) It does sound like you'll be much freer to add information on "minor" topics here than you would be on a broad site like Wikipedia; I think you've convinced me that it's a good idea. I hope that some level of cross-fertilization goes on between the community here and the community there.

:As for my Meta-FAQ (and related work), you are of course welcome to link to any bits of it that you think would be useful. (That's something else that some folks might have a problem with on Wikipedia, come to think of it.) I've always wished that I had time to track down the best Usenet newsgroup threads to link to for each of my FAQ topics, but real life keeps me too busy these days to consider such a major project. It would have been much easier if, like you, I'd started keeping track of the threads at the same time that I started writing the FAQ! In any case, best wishes with the site, and many thanks for your detailed answer to my question. [http://tolkien.slimy.com/ Steuard] --[[User:128.135.152.14|128.135.152.14]] 16:23, 31 May 2006 (EDT)

:Great answer, Hyarion! I applaud your ringing defense and statement of purpose of this fine Wiki. You really covered a lot of ground here. I joined up a year to make some solid contributions to a developing LOTR wiki, and I have some humble contribs. Hopefully I'll be making more in the future. All power to the Gateway!--[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 15:30, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

== Quotes ==

Some wikis (namely the Star Wars wiki) use quotes to describe articles. i.e. "''A demon of the ancheint world. This foe is beyond any of you.''" -[[Gandalf]] would describe the [[Balrogs|Balrog]]. Could we start doing this? -[[User:Lord Aragorn1414|Lord Aragorn1414]] 14:31, 17 July 2006 (EDT)

:Hello Lord Vad...Aragorn, we like to think of Wookieepedia as our sister wiki as we tend to borrow quite a few ideas from them. Quotes at the top of articles to describe the character/place/item/etc are one of these ideas. We haven't fully implemented all the articles but some such as [[Hobbits]] or [[The Silmarillion]] or [[Dragons]], etc. display this idea. This is something we definitely wish to expand on and if you have any quotes you would like to use feel free to do so. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 14:40, 17 July 2006 (EDT)
::Okay then, thank you! You like to play on my name alot don't you? That's okay, though. ;) -[[User:Lord Aragorn1414|Lord Aragorn1414]] 14:46, 17 July 2006 (EDT)

== Canon and other things ==

First off, I'm wondering what "canon" this encyclopedia will use. As of now, it's inconsistent: for example, there are two [[Glorfindel]]s, but has Orodreth, not Fingon, as Gil-galad's father.

Secondly, all the non-movie art is very nice, since I don't care much for the Jackson films having, in general, "supremacy" through images (quite irritating in Wikipedia, though the editors have lately arranged adaptation pictures in tables - gives equal treatment to ''all'', not just the Jackson ones). Ideally, all appropriate articles should have artworks before film images.

Finally, could someone make a ''[[The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare]]'' article, so we can cut it up (i.e. point out some total inventions) for the non-book readers? Info from that book has been inserted in Wikipedia articles; thankfully they were deleted. [[User:Rog|Rog]] 22:49, 15 August 2006 (EDT)

:Hello Rog, I've addressed the first issue at [[Forums:Canon scale]] so I'll reply to the other two. I'm glad you are a fan of the illustrations, as am I. We try and bring new images to the reader's eyes by putting the illustrations first but I think there are some circumstances where the film images are more accurate and will have to be put first. Accuracy vs. Beauty of the illustration is yet another difficult topic.

:Great idea on the Weapons and Warfare article, I'll try and have one up by tomorrow. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 23:15, 15 August 2006 (EDT)

==Top Editors==

Hyarion, I'd like to suggest that you change the Top Editors list again. Dwarf Lord at least should be added, being the fourth highest, and still picking up speed. --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 09:01, 19 September 2006 (EDT)

:Thanks Narfil, [[Main Page]] has been updated. Maybe I'll work on having the page grab the top 5 dynamically. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 11:49, 19 September 2006 (EDT)

== A-Z List ==

I've moved the A-Z list up closer to the top as I have a feeling a lot of people were not noticing it there at the bottom, I'm still not 100% satisfied with its current position but I think it will at least get noticed more. If you guys think otherwise just let me know. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 17:41, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

:I think it's fine there. I admit I had hardly noticed it before. At least it's more visible. --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 17:46, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

==Featured Quote on Main Page==
Hi, wouldn't it be good, if at least once a month a new quote would appear here? The current one is from the last year, i think. ;-) - {{unsigned|Eldarion Telcontar}}

:It definitely is about time we have both a new quote and a new featured article. The lack of new quotes stems from various long-lasting discussions on whether to use a random quote from a pool of Tolkien quotes, or to weekly/monthly/etc vote on a specific quote. We're also working on a website dedicated to quotes which we hoped to grab randomly from there but I'd rather not wait until that project is finished. I think a good time to start a new quote will be once we launch our new skin. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 01:35, 17 March 2008 (EDT)

:As we are starting a new '''featured''' era, it would be a good idea to change '''Past Featured Articles''' to '''Featured Articles'''. It's more accurate. --[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 21:03, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

:I agree, the Featured Article Project is coming along nicely, now its time to focus on quotes. What needs to be done exactly? Do we need need more quotes written down, or is there some fancy code that needs to be entered to generate the quotes? As Ive said many times before, not a big tech guy, but I'll be glad to help where I can.--[[User:Quidon88|Quidon88]] 21:05, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

::There is this one {{redlink|[[Main Page/Quote]]}} page, that has a random quote generator, but unfortunately, all are unlinked. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 23:53, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

:::There is a [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured quotes/Nominations|Nominations]] page for quotes also. Maybe we could nominate them ourselves? The good/relevant/preferred ones? ~~ [[User:Þelma|Þelma]] 03:05, 29 July 2008 (EDT)

:::[[User:Þelma|Þelma]], the Featured Quote era has begun. Click on the link on the main page and take a look at the current quote nominated.--[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 13:03, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

::::[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]], you make it sound like an world event. :) And far from me to contradict that ;) I will take a look. ~~ [[User:Þelma|Þelma]] 13:28, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

The Past Featured Quotes are to find at [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured quotes/History|Featured quotes/History]] now. -- [[User:Eldarion Telcontar|Eldarion Telcontar]] 16:40, 13 August 2008 (EDT)

==Featured Article on Main Page==
I'm just wondering why "[[Aragorn|Aragorn II]]" is still "Today's featured article". Maybe i'm mistaken but isn't "[[Witch-king]] of [[Angmar]]" already sucessfully elected and hasn't "[[Gandalf]]" already five "Agree"s? Wouldn't it be about time to change the Featured Article after so many months? -- [[User:Eldarion Telcontar|Eldarion Telcontar]] 15:12, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
==Elvish Word of the Day==
What do you think? is it feasible? [[User:Sage|Sage]] 21:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

:I favour just "word of the day"; also give minor languages some screentime. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 21:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
::Of course. Can it be done? How? And by whom? [[User:Sage|Sage]] 08:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

:::We probably need a stash of them, and select 30 at the beginning of each month. With subpages, it can be done. But I don't know where exactly on the main page this can fit...-- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 09:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

==News==
What happened to the news? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 22:17, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

:Hm, news on the [[Main Page]] seems to be working for me, is it not showing up over there? --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 03:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

::It didn't show last night, but it does now. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 08:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

:::For my it doesn't appear to. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 12:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

== .pdf ==

Hi, could somebody add .PDF as permitted files. Then I can upload my Tolkien Essays about [[Gothmog (Lieutenant of Morgul)|Gothmog]], [[Blue Wizards]] and...uhm...The Troops of [[Gondor]].

:As far as I know, you can't upload PDF's. The file upload function of mediawiki was made for image files and movie clips. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:06, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

:: You can do it, see link:

[http://nl.tolkien-online.wikia.com/wiki/Bestand:Tolkien_Names-Namen.pdf Tolkien Names: English-Dutch]

sorry, forget my sign --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 16:17, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

::: I'll put it on my list to mail to Hyarion. He's the code guy. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:25, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

:::: Okay, I hope it works --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 15:32, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

==Updates==

I have noticed that Hyarion has added a new entry to [[Tolkien Gateway:Updates]] but that it doesn't appear on the Main Page because the updates are included as plain text there. Could somebody replace the plain text updates on the Main Page with the following line?

<nowiki>{{:Tolkien Gateway:Updates}}</nowiki>

Thus the latest updates from the Updates Page are included automatically and only [[Tolkien Gateway:Updates]] has to be updated in order to let the news appear on the Main Page and the Community Page as well.

-- [[User:Eldarion Telcontar|Eldarion Telcontar]] 10:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

== Header Background ==

For some reason the background colour for the 'On this day...' header is green, when it should be blue like the 'Featured Quote' header. --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 18:28, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

==The Hobbit==
When I was on the new channel the other day they said that Peter Jackson thinks the 2 Hobbit movies are going to so good that he's going to make a 3rd hobbit movie. [[User:Vaire|Vaire]] 01:51, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

:Indeed! --{{User:Mith/sig}} 07:54, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

== Countdown ==

We'll need to do something about the countdown tomorrow.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 11:34, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

:You won't get it until tomorrow? I just returned. Awe. Some. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:26, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

::Good! Yep, it's not released until tomorrow here (I'm going in the afternoon), although the London première is tonight ([[User:Mith|Mith]] is going!). Incidentally, I've just realised that the countdown has been counting down to the 13th and not the 14th - oh well!--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 16:41, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

:Can you change the Main Page please?--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 12:17, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

== My feedback contra the recent redesign of TolkienGateway ==

I used to advocate TolkienGateway as a shining example of good web-design (alongside English Wikipedia). Clean, simple, concise,, tasteful, artful. No more? Apparently, it has been uglified to the most extreme degree, all for the sake of the phones. Sticky header? Check. Disparate, widely removed column? There. Pop ups instead of neat buttons that are always there? Of course. Feels like a [[Letter_195|long defeat]] to fight against this change. It's just really sad that new generations won't see how good it used to look and to read.--[[User:Adûnâi|Adûnâi]] ([[User talk:Adûnâi|talk]]) 08:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

:Thanks for your feedback Adûnâi! We're glad to hear you loved the previous design. The new skin is just temporary, as we needed to upgrade the backend and the previous custom skin was no longer compatible. It's hard to believe, but the vast majority of our users now access the site from mobile devices, and Google was actually penalizing us for the previous design so we needed to make a change. There are actually multiple layouts to choose from by clicking on your name in the top right, Preferences, and then Appearance. You can also apply any [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_style custom CSS] you like. :) We have notated your feedback for our new skin, if you or someone you know would like to contribute to the development of it just let me know. Thanks again for your input! --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] ([[User talk:Hyarion|talk]]) 14:48, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

== I don't know where to place this uhh... ==

Can someone please update Ardapedia's interlanguage link to www.ardapedia.org, and also change it, the Finnish, and the French interlanguage links from http to https? Thanks. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 14:22, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

:Great catch! The changes are complete. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] ([[User talk:Hyarion|talk]]) 19:36, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

== New Stuff for Main Page ==

I realized that TG has had the same quote for quite some time, and was wondering when it was going to be changed. I don't have a suggestion for the quote or get involved, but I was thinking the featured article could be [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields|The Battle of the Pelennor Fields]]. Please take this into consideration --[[User:MEGRIMLOCK|MEGRIMLOCK]] ([[User talk:MEGRIMLOCK|talk]]) 16:19, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

'''Sharku''' was the leader of the [[Orcs|Orc]] [[Wargs|Warg]][[Wolf-riders|-riders]] of [[Isengard]]. Sharku was invented by [[Warner Bros.]] for [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' film series]], where he was portrayed by [[Jed Brophy]].

== History ==
Sharku was the veteran chief of a group of marauding Warg-riders who ranged deep into the realms of [[Gondor]] and [[Rohan]], sowing panic and fear among [[Saruman|Saruman's]] enemies and very nearly costing the two kingdoms their kings.{{citation needed}}

By the time of the [[War of the Ring]], he had thrown his support behind the corrupted [[Wizards|Wizard]], [[Saruman]]. He was tasked by him with ambushing the column of [[Rohirrim]] women and children retreating from [[Edoras]] to the safety of [[Helm's Deep]]. [[Théoden]] and his guard, with the help of [[Aragorn]], [[Legolas]], and [[Gimli]], fended off the attack. However, during the battle, Aragorn got tangled up in the harness of Sharku's Warg and both the beast and the ranger fell over a cliff. Sharku, mortally wounded, survived just long enough to gloat about Aragorn's apparent death to Legolas and Gimli.

== Etymology ==
''[[Sharkû]]'' is the [[Black Speech]] word meaning "Old Man",<ref>{{HM|N}}, p. 763</ref>, most likely referring to [[Sharkey]], the name Saruman used when he controlled [[The Shire]].<ref>{{RK|VI8}}</ref>
