The estimate of Cirdan's age given in the article (15,000) is at odds with the Timeline of Arda. In fact he would be older than the Arda itself. I do not know how canonical the timeline is, but I thought I'd bring this to your attention. The date of birth combined with the timeline would put him around 8500 at the time of the Lord of the Rings.
Following on from the above, the article says that he is the oldest elf apart from Elrond and Galadriel. The date of birth attributed to him, makes him older than Galadriel and far older than Elrond. --Smcgrother 19:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the film the Return of the King I do believe that the elf standing in the background is Celeborn, and not Cirdan, even though Celeborn did not make that journey at that time in the Novels.

Uhhh... that's a pretty nice history of all Elvendom from the awakening, but 90% of it doesn't have to do with Cirdan. Perhaps cut it down to just what's relevant to this article? Adanadhel 06:41, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most of this does deal with Cirdan. You forget that events and people that he is not directly related with STILL INFLUENCE AND EFFECT him. In this article, there is made mention of events like Morgoth taking the Gap of Maglor. While this event may not seem important, it is very important because Morgoth now has access to and the ability to attack the Falas. However, I tried not to post anything that really didn't have an impact on Cirdan and his peoples. And as far as the pic (whoever is mentioning it) that pic is of Cirdan, for movie reasons they didn't give him a beard. If you look at his picture in the trading card game they use that picture of him at the Havens for his card. Frosty King 11:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
