User talk:Earendilyon
Just leaving a 'Hi I'm Earendilyon' note ;)
As a bit of a Latin fan(atic) I registered because I saw a bad translation of a Latin word (see Arda article and discussion). Otherwise, I've no conmtributions (yet) that I know of. But we'll see.

Welcome!
Hey there Earendilyon. Just thought I'd leave a bit of a 'hello' for you. Just saw your edit on the Arda and Middle-earth articles, great contribution! It's great to have another Tolkien scholar around to help fix all the errors we have accumulated. You wouldn't happen to be the same Earendilyon from MinasTirith.com by any chance would you? Thanks again for stopping in and we'd love to see you back :) --Hyarion 15:59, 1 February 2006 (EST)
Hiyah Hyarion!
Ofcourse, I'm one and the same :) I'm also member at other boards than MinasTirith.com though, but MT is indeed my Tolkien home base. You may also know me, btw, of my Dominus Anulorum project.

Ah, very cool! You really need to stop in on the IRC chat server we've been trying to get the citizens to chat on there more often but it's going slow. You can find myself, Lord Mithrandir, Ardamir, Halion, and a few other regulars, we've been trying to setup weekly Lore discussions as well. Also forgive the recent site downtime, in the 3+ years we've had the site up that's longest we've been offline and I was just pulling my hair out, oh well at least it's fixed. --Hyarion 18:31, 4 February 2006 (EST)
Spam and Reversions
Thanks for keeping an eye on that spam for me, it comes in everyday and it's become a routine having to remove the filth. They usually edit as anonymous users so I've been tempting to just require anonymous user's edits to be verified by an administrator but I just feel that would take away from the wiki/edit anything instantly aspect.
If someone has messed up a page beyond recognition a good trick is to click the History tab, and you can see a list of all stages the page has been in, thank goodness the software keeps everything. Then you can click say the last edit by me, and it will show you what the page should look like, before the spam. Then you can just click edit and save and it'll save that older revision over the spam. Sorry I'm terrible at explaining things but hopefully you understand what I mean. --Hyarion 12:59, 5 February 2006 (EST)
P.S. Thanks for the help.
