I have noticed that the length of the Valian Year, in articles about the characters who were born before the rising of the Sun, is given as 9.58 solar years, although Tolkien seems to have settled it at 144 solar years in his latter writings.

Why is that so? Should we then give both alternatives or leave it vague? Or is this site intent on giving the former figure? Woolly Mammoth 14:59, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
