- Tolkien's text states that the 5 Armies were Men, Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, and Wolves. Eagles are not one of the 5 armies. Also, unless "three parts" means 3/4s, that figure is incorrect also. - —Unsigned comment by 128.194.66.61 (talk).
Eagles particapated, so therefore we put them as a combaten, not as part of the armies. three parts means three-fourths otherwise I wouldn't have put it there. --Dwarf Lord 15:37, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
- By this site's own reckoning Orcs and Goblins are synonymous. However, entry of "Goblins" are redirected to Orcs. Thus, Orcs should take precedent over Goblins. In other words, by this site's own definition and usage, Orcs should be used over Goblins.
- Also adding to the ambiguity are references, in other areas of this wiki, to Orcs and Goblins being separate races with "Goblins being the weaker" of the two... - —Unsigned comment by 71.218.205.123 (talk).
- Which ambiguous references are you referring to? Please provide some links to areas containing such.--Morgan 06:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
