River Running[edit source]

Isn't the Celduin better known as the River Running? Should we move this?-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  16:22, 12 November 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Whether "Celduin or the River Running" is the title of this article doesn't matter to me (provided that the secondary name has a redirect to this article). However, the title and text of the third second I would keep as is because of the Unfinished Tales Index references. --Gamling 20:03, 12 November 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I agree.-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  22:24, 12 November 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think River Running is better. But about the third section - there has to be a better name for that. Maybe Disputes, like on Legolas and Balrog? Or Other versions? --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 11:35, 13 November 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"Disputes" suits me. I shall now move and bot this. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 11:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Two waterfalls?[edit source]

Hello! I have a question about a detail of the River Running. On this page, I read: "The River Running was a 600-Númenórean miles long river that poured out of the Front Gate of the Lonely Mountain, descended over two falls and swirled around Dale".
However, I didn't find any quote about two falls of the River Running in The Hobbit.
Besides, I also found this detail in The Atlas of Middle-Earth by Karen Wynn Fonstad, but I neither found the matching quote through it (I don't have the Houghton Mifflin edition of The Hobbit): p. 110, "The Running River, which originated from a spring just inside the Front Gate, (4: H[obbit], 254) descended over two falls, (5: H, 215) then swirled around Dale in a wide loop that passed first near the eastern spur, then west beyond Ravenhill, before turning east and south to Long Lake. (6: H, 67, 216)"
Maybe I just didn't correctly understand Tolkien's text, because I'm not a native English speaker.
Could you explain me quoting the text where it is written that there are two falls on the River Running between the Front Gate and Dale? --Beron 17:44, 20 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
