[edit] Picture, aswell

I think the picture of Theoden from Peter Jacksons movie should be changed. Because right now it shows a picture of the aged version of Theoden. And Theoden is only in that state for a short time( in the movie). This picture just doesn't show him correctly. 80.57.174.103 17:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Can I asky why the picure attached to the infobox was removed some time ago? I know this entry is about the character as a whole, not just the Peter Jackson version, but other characters have similiar pictures attached. I know some Tolkien purists might not like some of the differences in the Jackson version, but I really don't see that as a reason to remove a picture, assuming that's what it is of course.

[edit] POV?

"Théoden's decision to take his people to safety at the stronghold of Helm's Deep rather than to confront the enemy in open battle is, somewhat unconvincingly, presented as a grave strategic misjudgement, which Gandalf can only make up for by finding Éomer in time."

The 'somewhat unconvincingly' comment strikes me as POV and has no source to back it up. (Personally I found it a reasonable enough plot device). Could use a source or removal, maybe? 130.88.179.77 (talk) 19:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Grima and Théoden.jpg

Image:Grima and Théoden.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
