I thought he threw a stone into the well...?

He did, you're right. – Zeal 1 July 2005 20:49 (UTC)

Has anyone else noticed that the family tree at the bottom of this page suggests that Belladonna and Bungo were engaged in an incestuous union ? WMMartin 8 August 2005 12:20 (UTC)

Please, by all means, if you can figure out how to fix it...I get a headache just thinking about it! -Aranel ("Sarah") 22:43, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tooks as Scots

Here and here are a couple of sites which cite the golf/Thain explanation for Billy Boyd's Scottish accent. Unfortunately, these are just fan sites: if someone can find a more official reference, that would be great. —Josiah Rowe 03:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

And this is the bit from The Hobbit about Bullroarer Took and golf:

If you have ever seen a dragon in a pinch, you will realize that this was only poetical exaggeration applied to any hobbit, even to Old Took's great-grand-uncle Bullroarer, who was so huge (for a hobbit) that he could ride a horse. He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the Green Fields, and knocked their king Golfimbul's head clean off with a wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit-hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf invented at the same moment.

• Actually, of the two sites you sourced there, the first just refers to the second, and the second one is an old web page which doesn't have a direct quote from the actors. I've never seen a second news release that ever corrobrated or confirmed what they said here; so I think it's unreliable. All they ever said in the commnetaries was "Took are like Scots, so we can keep them"; they didn't explain why they came to that conclusion. So I put in the terrain stuff, granted as mostly speculation, because I think it's more rationale than the strained golf explanation. ---Ricimer 02:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

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

Image:Pippinprintscreen.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 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.BetacommandBot 09:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feet

The article says that Pippin's feet are hairy, even for a Hobbit.

As I remember, nothing is said in the Lord of the Rings about Pippin's feet. It was one of the Proudfoots at the Birthday party whose feet were "large, exceptionally furry, and both were on the table". Is there some reference in one of the "Middle Earth" volumes? --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da)
