	:Since Tolkien intended the legendarium to be a ''history'', everything should be in past tense. Even the sections about Eriol. Which is nice, because it keeps everything simple. --[[User:Ebakunin\|Ebakunin]] 17:38, 27 April 2006 (EDT)		:Since Tolkien intended the legendarium to be a ''history'', everything should be in past tense.
