Talk:Moria, Middle-earth

added header by 87.102.0.6 12:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

The first sentence is wrong: Dwarrowdelf is not actually another name for Moria, but rather, for the ancient city of the dwarves which was located in the mines of Moria. But Moria included far more than just Dwarrowdelf. Someone should rewrite this appropriately; I'm not sure the best way how. --Tb 01:06 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Actually, the index of The Silmarillion says that Dwarrowdelf is a translation of Khazad-dûm amd Hadhodrond. Eric119 01:54, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)

yeah, the name Moria was the new name given to Dwarrowdelf after the Dwarves had left it Ariakas 08:09, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I agree- Dz

This article's justification is all wrong! I can't read the links to the left to navigate Wiki at all. Could someone adjust this so it reads OK again? Shaybear 03:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

The article displayed fine for me, but there was some odd table-markup code (table open and right align, but no close) at the top so I removed that. If you are still having trouble info on what browser / version you are using might help. --CBD 10:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much, all fixed now. :] Shaybear 02:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned sentence?

In the "Second Age" section, there is an orphan sentence fragment: "Narvi's western doors and the original Gates in the east remained the only two known exits from Khazad-dûm," brain 00:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Drawing or photograph

The depiction of the inside of Dwarrowdelf is actually a still shot from The Fellowship of the Ring shortly before Morgoth's Balrog,Flame of Udûn,make his appearance from the the deep places of the world.Sochwa 21:57, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Merge

Done the suggested merge of "bridge of khazad dum"

I created a new section "significant geography" - awful name for it - someone please think of a better one. Moria gate is a stub presently - please expand. Are there any one features of moria worth mentioning.?

When I merged I made a few small changes - but didn't rewrite - so please expect that improvements could be made here..

Sorry about all the "cite" tags...87.102.0.6 12:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Real-world perspective

This article consists overwhelmingly of a plot summary, which breaches see WP:PLOT. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)#Real-world_perspective, it should be rewritten from a real-world perspective (which is currently almost entirely absent), so I have tagged it as {{inuniverse}}. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)

I had a go at removing a lot, including the excessive single line quotations from the books, as well as most? of the plot from the lord of the rings. Hopefully more of what remains actually concerns moria itself... It may still need work77.86.8.83 (talk) 15:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
