Two things about this article:

  1. How does this article need to be expanded?
  2. What should the frontal image be? Felix Sonatamayor (or however you spell his name) gets a little. . . fanciful, and his idea of Gondolin isn't quite accurate. We might put Tolkien's own drawing there, but its. . . simplicity sort of distracts, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, because of how important and how frequently viewed this article is, we need to do some expansion. It just doesn't flow continuously. At least there should be a chronologically-organized history section. I'm going to work on it this afternoon. --Narfil Palùrfalas 13:08, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

I would like to create an infobox for this article and articles like it but I'm unsure how to proceed. Do we make one for cities? structures? locations? One for each of those? Nasmith's interpretation is probably the most accurate version when you compare it to Tolkien's own, not to mention the fact that it is very well done, so maybe that would be a good choice for the primary image. I agree this article needs a lot of work and I'll work with you on it creating more sections and expanding it while maintaining the flow of the article. --Hyarion 14:15, 1 April 2007 (EDT)
