I was trying to load the entry page for [[Image:Middle-earth (large).jpg]], and all I get from the server is an empty page.  I reloaded repeatedly, and I still get an empty page.  I tried other images in [[:Category:Non-canon maps|the category I found it in]], and many other pages load fine.  But this page won't.  A couple others won't too—I suspect that the large file size may have something to do with it, but that's just a guess.  Maybe the server is failing to generate a thumbnail for images that size?  I just don't know. - [[User:Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]] 17:07, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

My Bot

Hi Ederchil, is it possible you could add User:Mithbot to the bot usergroup (no idea why that's a redlinks: it works for me) so I can do some menial and boring tasks quickly? Thanks, --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 19:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm only a sysop, not a bureaucrat, so I can't change user group rights. You could PM or email Hyarion for this. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 20:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, OK, I thought you were (wishful thinking!). Thanks anyway! --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 21:57, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually, I thought I was too :) -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 22:21, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Main page spelling mistake

Hello - while using this wiki, I noticed that main page's featured article has a spelling mistake. It should be borne not born in the sentence "Glamdring was the sword once born by Turgon, King of Gondolin." I can't edit the page! :) Darth Newdar 17:27, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 21:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Peril to the Shire page

Just wanted to know why you keep editing the page I'm building on "The Peril to the Shire". I worked rather hard on it, yet you keep re-arranging and deleting stuff. It would be nice if you asked first, or at least let me know what you are up to.

I figured you were involved in production. First of all, thank you for contributing.
I basically rearranged a lot to make it fit our Manual of Style and deleted a lot because it was (in my eyes) repetition. Also, a lot of text in long sentences does not improve readability, and detracts attention from your own website (we don't want to be too complete now, do we?). --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 16:04, 20 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An image page won't load

I was trying to load the entry page for File:Middle-earth (large).jpg, and all I get from the server is an empty page. I reloaded repeatedly, and I still get an empty page. I tried other images in the category I found it in, and many other pages load fine. But this page won't. A couple others won't too—I suspect that the large file size may have something to do with it, but that's just a guess. Maybe the server is failing to generate a thumbnail for images that size? I just don't know. - Gilgamesh 17:07, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
