Talk:List of Tolkien Encyclopedias

Tolkien Gateway - not the biggest anymore?

I'm afraid that the TG isn't the biggest anymore.

Lotro Lorebook

The statistics say 1800 pages, but that's only the homepage and editing help. There are already 2200 Lore-pages, but those aren't counted because they start with Lore:"Article name". That's the same with NPC's, Location's, Items, etc. All these start with NPC: or Location: They're at least over 10.000 article, but I can't be sure because all of these can't be counted... --Amroth 13:00, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Well I don't think they can claim our title based on guesswork and estimation alone :P. I would argue that NPC:, Location:, Item: etc. shouldn't be counted since they're about in-game content... I mean, what does Padded Shoes (Level 47) have to do with the works of J.R.R. Tolkien? And there are literally tens of thousands of those articles. —Aulë the Smith ^(Tk·Cb) 13:26, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that a LOTR Online Wiki is a Tolkien Encyclopaedia. -- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  13:39, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

then why is the unofficial LOTRO wiki on Wikia counted? I think that at least the lore part of LOTRO Lorebook desirves to be counted, that's 2200 articles. --Amroth 13:46, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm currently debating with myself what counts and what doesn't (I. Incidentally, if you want a wiki which really does beat us hands down, then see Lotro-Wiki.com.) --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 16:41, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

IMO, LOTR Online Encyclopaedias should not be included. -- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  16:57, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

I think the Lorebook is even bigger. Agree that the LOTRO-only wiki's shouldn't be included. But the lore-part of the Lorebook should be included. That part goes about the lore alone, simular to the Tolkien portals of Wikipedia.
