Revision as of 17:01, 13 September 2008

This is a test page by User:Ederchil. It is currently a hunting ground for the new references system.

A couple of ways to refer to books, articles, et cetera. Voice comments and concerns on the talk page. Page numbers et cetera serve as example

LotR

Note: Disambiguated chapter titles such as Strider (chapter) are piped away.

50th Anniversary edition

Note: Editors are separated from the author by a semi-colon.

Appendices

Note: Even though they are published in The Return of the King in many editions, the Appendices are appended to The Lord of the Rings proper; they are, one might say, a fourth volume.

Hobbit

UT, Sil

HoMe

Etymologies

HoTH

The Letters

Semisecondary

"Nomenclature"

Note: Because the printed text in Lobdell (ed.) A Tolkien Compass, 1st edn. is no longer freely available, I vote for only referencing to this occurance of the source.

Other semi-secondary material by Tolkien

Note: This method applies to ALL magazine articles.

Works by other authors

Works that we "have"

Works that we don't "have"

Websites

Author/Editor websites

"Institute" websites

Documentaries

Note: I haven't got a clue how to do this properly. Oh, and in the light of renaming every adaptation, that seems to be the EE's official name.

I'm totally lost here

TAI

Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator. When referring to images, mention the number, the page, or both?

Adaptations

  • Now, any fully referenced article sees a gap of notes in the PiA section. Should films be referenced to (by scene, for example)? Adapter, Official name (excess brackets piped away), Scene X?
  • Especially with PJ: Decipher Cards. They all have a number (and they're all on decipher's website). So: Decipher, LotR TCG, "image number: Title;subtitle"? With a link to Decipher fanhq?

Notes

Tolkien left a lot of notes, which are sometimed cited by authors - this one is in reaction to Eriador. JRRT, Unnamed note dated XX month XXXX, cited in: et cetera?
