Middle-earth Start‑class High‑importance

Removed: The great spider Shelob spawned many smaller spiders, whom Sauron introduced into Mirkwood.. Source for this please? I do not deny they and she may be related, but I personally believe both Shelob and the Mirkwood spiders are descendants of Ungoliante's breed in Ered Gorgoroth. — Jor 16:48, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Found my own source. Re-introducing part of the phrase. — Jor 20:03, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Woodmen?

Doesn't the Hobbit (and perhaps LOTR) mention woodmen living in the central portions of the forest? Presumably they're related to the Beornings. john k 18:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History - I think it should be mentioned somewhere of the mingling of the people here, Sindar coming from the ruin of Doriath, and Oropher (Thranduil's father) being taken as their Lord. It should also be noted from "The Disaster of The Gladden fields" They left the ancient home at Amon Lanc across the river from their kin in Lorien. And also that Oropher led their army into battle with the Last alliance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.245.32.210 (talk) 17:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the page and the references are there as well. Is there any way to hide the references? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.245.32.210 (talk) 18:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quest for Lonely Mountain

Could someone either cite the reference justifying the claim that the "quest" in The Hobbit was to regain Erebor? I believe the quest was to be a burglary, *not* the removal of Smaug and reestablishment of the Dwarves there. This needs to be corrected if I am right.71.31.147.72 (talk) 06:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
