[edit] The Lord of the Rings Peer Review

I have make extensive changes to our Lord of the Rings article in an attempt to work it up to Featured Article status. In order to find more suggestions I have listed it under Wikipedia:Peer Review. Under the guidelines to nominations I am required to notify others of knowledge in the area to review it. I have decided that the best group for this would be our WikiProject. So I ask you all to look at the article and make any suggestions you can. Hopefully we will be voting this FA soon enough. SorryGuy 00:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maia/Vala/Ainu

I am doing a typo run on Middle-earth articles now, and I'm also correcting any instances of links to Maia/Vala/Ainu (and other races). Just so you know ;) -- Jordi·✆ 13:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ME-ref

I added entries for the Chronology and Reader's Guide as you requested, but can't find author, publiser, ISBN etc.. Can you add these to the pages? Chronology is Template:ME-ref/CHR and Reader's Guide is Template:ME-ref/RG. -- Jordi·✆ 09:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikilinking plurals

A neater way of linking plurals is seen here. Hope that helps. Carcharoth 13:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Two Towers (MUD)

Lotr IS a trilogy. 3 Books. Therefore Trilogy! --Jestix 17:24, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to volunteer an exerpt from the Foreword of the Lord Of The Rings. This is how the Foreword begins. As in the first page.

"Note on the Text: J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel, consisting of six books plus appendices, sometimes published in three volumes."

[edit] Merging Shire articles

I replied to your comment at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Middle-earth/things_to_do. Thanks. Carcharoth 11:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

Hi Thu. I noticed you moved Almaren, which is good, but when moving sections, there will often be a link pointing to the section, and that will need updating. See my edit here. To find the things pointing at a section, use "what links here" if the name isn't obvious. In this case, it is obvious: Almaren. Thanks. Carcharoth 15:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] English/American spelling

You wrote:

Please don't 'correct' edits without checking your facts. -ize is a perfectly acceptable British English spelling variant (see American and British English spelling differences#-ise, -ize) and was JRRT's preferred form. Thu (talk) 09:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The Hobbit article has seen endless edits back and forth on this. It's inane. The British and Australian readership will continue to revert it to "ise" regardless of your position on the topic; the article had largely gelled on "ise" until you came along and decided that your "correct" was more "correct" than what was already there. It's hard to care anymore. If you can find some authority on Tolkien's preference in that regard, or can come up with several pages from his writing that demonstrate it, I'll be happy to leave your edits alone. I just read an entire chapter out of The Hobbit without finding a single word ending in ise/ize, so I'm done looking.
