Talk:Gondolin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	This article is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, his legendarium, and related topics. Please visit the project talk page for suggestions and ideas on how you can improve this and other articles. Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material must be written in past tense. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards for more information about this and other article standards.

This article, while good, is a mish-mash of material from both the Silmarillion and the Book of Lost Tales, Volume II. No distinctions are made as to what comes from where, or to the changing conceptions of Tolkien's mythos, and this leads to confusion (such as using "Maeglin" throughout instead of "Meglin" when appropriate for the older material, or referencing the mechanical dragons (that are never addressed in later versions of the story)). Footnotes, references, and a discussion of the the history of the tale of the Fall should all be added.
