Down under "Non-Unicode" on this page it says "It should look similar to the picture at the top of the page.", however there is no image at the top of the page? Unsigned comment by 210.190.195.90 (talk • contribs).

Hello there, I've gone ahead and removed the statement for the time being; if you have the font installed the letters should look similar to these --Hyarion 11:38, 4 March 2007 (EST)

scope of the article

The article apart being a copy from Wikipedia, it is written totally from 'out of universe' scope. I suggest some rewrite. Sage 13:01, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

There are a lot of Wiki articles still around, and unfortunately, they're difficult to track. As for the rewrite of this article, I'm currently busy on tengwar. That's basically because I disagree with KingAragorn's way too simple (and downright incorrect) tengwar tool. I'll see if I can pour it into something of an article, but it may take some time. -- Ederchil 15:26, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
Well I can do most of it myself, and it would be better if you give me some framework of how it should be :) Sage 17:30, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
What I think should be there:
  • Introduction
  • Modes
    • Quenya Tengwar
    • Sindarin Tengwar
    • Mode of Beleriand
  • Something about the DTS [1]
  • Layout of a tengwa
  • A full chart (this would include the extra tengwar found in Parma Eldalamberon 17)
  • Anything you can think of
(not necessarily in this order)
And if you do the rewrite, you have dibs on the opening quote. -- Ederchil 01:48, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
