I need help on adding an English gloss to the wordlist. Tolkien writes that the meaing of T ''can-'' is "to summons or name a person" (PM:362). To my non-native ears, the verb "to summons" sounds strange -- I would write "to summon ...a person". Do you have an explanation? --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 19:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Yes, it does sound odd. The only use of "summons" that I can think of is in relation to a court summons, but that wouldn't really explain it because that would still be a noun. Given that "to summons" appears twice in that footnote it seems intentional. There must be an explanation, but I can't think of one.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 22:44, 13 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
::Thanks. Hm, perhaps it's an archaic or obsolete usage ... I'll leave it at just "summons" in the wordlist.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 17:07, 14 February 2013 (UTC) | |||

Hello KA! I've noticed you write <nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki> with all lower-case letters; is there any technical reason why I shouldn't use <nowiki>{{References}}</nowiki>? --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 21:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC) | |||

Artworks by Ivanneth
Hello! You have changed description of artworks by Ivanneth attributing them to me (I am Karolina Węgrzyn), but that's misunderstanding. All works by Ivanneth I have uploaded do belong to her. You can always verify it at her website: Ivanneth's portfolio. I am moving back the changes, Regards! Sirielle 00:52, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- Many thanks!-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 10:44, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Portal:Languages
Shouldn't the Portal:Languages be available from the main page?--Morgan 08:46, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- I would like that.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 09:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
English grammar
I need help on adding an English gloss to the wordlist. Tolkien writes that the meaing of T can- is "to summons or name a person" (PM:362). To my non-native ears, the verb "to summons" sounds strange -- I would write "to summon ...a person". Do you have an explanation? --Morgan 19:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it does sound odd. The only use of "summons" that I can think of is in relation to a court summons, but that wouldn't really explain it because that would still be a noun. Given that "to summons" appears twice in that footnote it seems intentional. There must be an explanation, but I can't think of one.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 22:44, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

References template
Hello KA! I've noticed you write {{references}} with all lower-case letters; is there any technical reason why I shouldn't use {{References}}? --Morgan 21:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- It doesn't really matter. It's just a consistency thing.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 21:21, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
