Welcome to Morgan's talk page.

Discussion

I would like to be discussed something generally.Read here.

A question

How many edits do i need to become autoconfirmed?--LordAndSaviourSauron 18:20, 20 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A question for User:Hyarion or User:Mith! :-) --Morgan 18:48, 20 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
50, I think. It used be 10, but people were making spurious edits just to get to 10 edits. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 08:44, 26 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Ok--LordAndSaviourSauron 04:39, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Orc names

User:LordAndSaviourSauron/Orc names I tried to figure out what the names of the orcs mean, and i apparently manage to figure out some. My question is, is it safe to add the etymologies in the articles? thank you--LordAndSaviourSauron 08:40, 12 April 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Meaning and etymologies of names in the legendarium (such as names of Orcs) should only be explained by references to Tolkien's works and/or linguistic sources by Tolkien scholars. The page on David Salo's blog is neither of these (it's a list of Orcish in The Hobbit films), and the information can therefore not be added to etymology sections in articles at Tolkien Gateway. Feel free, however, to work on the list on your personal page, as you already have done. Just let me know if you have further questions!--Morgan 10:06, 12 April 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I was mainly asking to add them on the pages of the orcs which appear only in the movies, but whatever--LordAndSaviourSauron 12:04, 12 April 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

PE22 citation template

Hello there; would it be possible to create a citation template for Parma Eldalamberon 22? Template:PE says to comment here, and the templates only run through PE21. My suggestions:

PE|22 = J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Feanorian Alphabet, Part I and Quenya Verb Structure", in Parma Eldalamberon XXII (edited by Christopher Gilson and Arden R. Smith)

If you felt like doing subdivisions (which could be possible for some of the other PEs too), these would work:

22a = J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Feanorian Alphabet, Part I", in Parma Eldalamberon XXII (edited by Arden R. Smith)
22b = J.R.R. Tolkien, "Qenya Spelling", in Parma Eldalamberon XXII (edited by Christopher Gilson and Arden R. Smith)
22c = J.R.R. Tolkien, "Quenya Verb Structure", in Parma Eldalamberon XXII (edited by Christopher Gilson)

Based on the above, the articles ANA and ant have refs which will need checking. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 06:44, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
