Talk:The Shire

From Tolkien Gateway

Should we 'copy' the Wikipedia article Regions of the Shire? Or should we place that infor in the rather short article Farthings? But then, we miss out the March and Buckland...


Steve White Map

Ederchil, I noticed you took the map out of this article. Steve White is sort of our house artist, so their weren't any legal problems. Was there something about the map that was greatly inaccurate?--Theoden1 08:52, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

It featured the places "Northway", "Southway", "Westhouse" and "Oakleaf". They don't appear in the fiction. Maybe a better map without fanon towns is better. -- Ederchil 09:04, 3 August 2008 (EDT)
I don't know if it's fanon or not. I think his map is based on the Atlas of Middle-earth. Fonstad says she included some villages that don't appear on the map, deducting their locations. I don't know if White added some more. Sage 15:23, 3 August 2008 (EDT)
