:That sounds excellent.  I've never heard of a wiki doing that before (in my limited experience), but I think it would work great.  The one thing is that the title bar would be Elves/History (which may not be a bad thing, I don't know), and the template for changing that doesn't work on the new default skin.  I was intending to suggest an article titled ''[[History of the Elves]]'' or something, but your suggestion appeals as well. --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 21:52, 28 February 2007 (EST)

Revision as of 04:19, 1 March 2007

I am considering whether or not to create Elf-lords as a seperate category. The questions I have are

  1. Who exactly qualifies as an elf-lord? Those of the House of Finwë and the House of Thingol or just any important elf?
  2. Is it worth its own article?

Work on this Article

I notice that this page is the most popular article on the wiki. It seems to be lacking some organization or something. It contains a lot of information, but needs some improvement. I was wondering if there were any precise suggestions for the article. --Narfil Palùrfalas 13:10, 18 February 2007 (EST)

I also note that the Middle-earth and Witch-king of Angmar articles, the second and fourth most popular respectively, also need serious work. I think though that Morgoth, Gandalf, and J.R.R. Tolkien, the other most popular articles, will suffice. --Narfil Palùrfalas 13:13, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Outline and Sub-articles

What do you guys think needs to be done to this article? If we plan on changing it a lot maybe we should consider creating an outline first. I also think it's apparent the article is going to be lengthy, what about creating sub-articles such as "Elves/History", we could have a link to the history article within the Elves article and underneath the link we could have a synopsis of the article. Maybe it's just me but I have a hard time taking away information from a really long article. --Hyarion 20:20, 28 February 2007 (EST)
