[edit] Already in LOTR Wiki

I suggested this in the AfD nom - note that A Walking Song is already in the LOTR Wiki of Wikia - A Walking Song link at LOTR Wiki. So, maybe this article about the song should be moved as is over there. At any rate, converting this over to the poem would seem to be redundant to me. BUT I do want to see the material kept at Wikia.  ;) 74.134.59.45 17:46, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

The LotR Wikia is separate from Wikipedia. Wikias are often not compatible with Wikipedia. Carcharoth 16:29, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About sources

  1. http://tolkien.cro.net/talesong.html was used for the texts of the poem/song in the book, to bypass copyvio problems.
  2. http://www.stupidring.com/rotkscript/index.htm is a site which has transcripts of the theatrical and extended LOTR:ROTK, with viewable annotations comparing lines with the book. Here we find the texts of "The Edge of Night" and an extract of "A Walking Song", showing some differences.
  3. Information about lyrics and who did who (like the Elvish) is on the booklets that come with the soundtrack CDs, right? (I don't own any, but I've seen one).I changed the references which use Geocities and other personal websites to the ROTK soundtrack itself. http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0046327 (sheet music for "The Steward of Gondor" is not a fansite nor a personal website unlike the Geocities ones, and is probably accurate.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pippincryingthedgeofnight.jpg

Image:Pippincryingthedgeofnight.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
