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. Sorry Guy 00:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

The Two Towers (MUD)

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

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."

Merging Shire articles

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

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)[reply]

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.

Featured article review

Thought you might be interested in helping out with improving The Lord of the Rings, so I'm letting you know about Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Lord of the Rings. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 02:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Science Future Vision

If its pure invention, use afd. I'm not qualified to judge whether or not it is, but i do know that it cannot at this point be called unquestionable vandalism. But if the bands mentioned do not exist either, use a prod tag and say so. that would be enough to make it a hoax, and prod is the place for hoaxes. If they do exist, you'll have to argue the existence of the genre at afd. DGG (talk) 17:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:56, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Hobbit FA push

Hello. As you've been one of the more regular contributors to The Hobbit I thought I'd let you know that I'd like to nominate it as a Featured Article candidate. The article has recently received a peer review and I've addressed the issues that were mentioned by the reviewer. But if you think there's some more work to do, please let me know. The only thing I'm a bit worried about is the mentioning of the very first film adaptation, an animated short film by Gene Deitch of Tom & Jerry fame, that has only recently been recalled by its creator. The sourcing for this entry is a bit poor but from my point of view the rest of the article is ready to go. Regards, De728631 (talk) 15:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
