- It would be helpful if someone would indicate the reasons that this article needs to be rewritten, so some passerby might have a chance at improving it. Ainaldo
- Yeah, good point. I think one reason is that the article almost completely lacks references. --Morgan 00:06, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- As the person who added Template:Rewrite, I reckon I can give 10 reasons:
- The main text - which is too short - was stolen from Wikipedia and remains unchanged in 5.5 years;
- Said text appears to have been written by someone incapable of connecting two sentences;
- It lacks structure;
- It contains speculation;
- It lacks sources;
- The text contains contradiction (for instance the infobox can't decide whether Esgaroth is a city or a town);
- There are not "Portrayal in Adaptations" or "In Other Versions of the Legendarium" sections;
- The text makes almost no mention of the events in The Hobbit as they receive a cursory mention in the last paragraph;
- The Language section contains a redlink and information not relevant to this article;
- The article contains just one date which doesn't conform to our standards (i.e. "Third Age 2941 or T.A. 2941").
- I think there's more than enough wrong with this article! --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 01:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
