As I brought up over in the discussion for the Standards page, most of these definitions are copied exactly word for word from The Encyclopedia of Arda. I don't think Tolkien Gateway is authorized to lift material directly from EoA.

Whose opinion is expressed in this article with some of the explanations? --Earendilyon 16:12, 5 April 2006 (EDT)

Hm, not sure. I compiled them from various sources a while ago. Are you disagreeing with the fact that a word is listed or the actual explanation? Feel free to change anything :) --Hyarion 16:19, 5 April 2006 (EDT)
I was wondering whether some were your opinion, or maybe CT's from HoMe. I saw with at least one of the words 'I think that ...', so I though I'd ask. --Earendilyon 16:24, 5 April 2006 (EDT)
I'll double check when I get home, "I" should probably be removed, even if it is CT.

Cleanup

Im not sure why it hasnt been done before, maybe someone can tell my why these arent broken down my letter. I was about to do it myself, but thought there must have been a logical reason why one of the more seasoned editors hadnt done it yet.--Quidon88 02:45, 26 April 2008 (EDT)


Bootless

I was wondering why the word bootless is mentioned in this list. It seems to have another meaning besides the obvious 'without boots', but that meaning is from the Shakespearean era and moreover, I came here through a link from The Stone Troll, where the word is used with its obvious meaning. In my opinion a bit bootless to have it in this list. ~ Earendilyon 20:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

In this sense, I agree. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 20:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
