Where in the world are these numbers - 900,000, 50,000 - coming from? And are they meant to refer to the total Elvish population of Middle Earth (including the relatively populous realms of Northern Mirkwood and Lothlórien) or only to Elves in Lindon? 900,000 seems ridiculously high, regardless - there don't even seem to be that many men in Gondor, and Gondor seems like it should be much more populous than even the largest Elf realm (which is presumably Thranduil's). john k 21:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

John: You're so right, those numbers are frankly ridiculous... I've struck the statement. Kingnavland (talk) 21:57, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
