could anybody explain me the meaning of the word "homely" in this context ('The Last Homely House East of the Sea') ? i can see that it's usually translated as "friendly" to my native tongue, but according to the wiktionary it means "lacking in beauty or elegance" and according to some other dictionary it means "simple".

Third definition in OED - a place where one receives kindly home-like treatment. Also characterized as a "rare" and "obsolete" usage, which would have suited Tolkien's ear just fine. Stan 19:59, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rivendell.png

Image:Rivendell.png 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 04:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Why people deleted this image? It's helpful for readers to visualize how this place was illustrated in movies. This is a fictional place, therefore having an image is deadly essential. What a shame! Galadree-el 15:54, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Placed Notability Tag

Not the subject of multiple independant secondary sources as required by WP:NN and does not have any real world content as clarified by WP:FICT [[Guest9999 22:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)]]

What? I doubt if you even read or watch LOTR. If you did, you wouldn't suspect of the notability of this fictional place. Galadree-el 15:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, this article was rated High important. Although NN requires secondary sources, it's actual an arduous task to accomplish, especially for this type of topic. More, I don't understand why you said it doesn't have any real world content. I've read the policy but nothing like you complaint. Point out the facts rather than merely criticize. Don't be so rigid!

[edit] Disambiguation

I switched the other uses template, to point to Rivendell (disambiguation), since people may land here while looking for one of those (I did). I don't think the two other uses (a Polish convention and a Danish society) are very important in Wikipedia right now, because neither of them has an associated article. However, they're both linked from the disambiguation page, for when those articles are eventually written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JBazuzi (talk • contribs) 17:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
