Dating[edit source]

It was me who initially added the calculation of when the map was created. My source (which was uncited as we were not used to citations back then) was a post by Andreas Moehn ("Lalaith") in an old mailing list, known only as "The Tolkien List" (its address is/was [email protected]).

That was years ago and right now I can't find any homepage or archive of that group so that I can add a citation. The present state of the article pinpoints the creation to TA 2789, although I can't remember if that was the exact year Lalaith calculated. Right now it looks like "Original Research", but it isn't. If you even find anything concerning the whereabouts of the Tolkien Mailing List group please let me know. Sage 09:20, 13 May 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Is this related to what you're looking for? Sadly, the archives appear not to be online anymore.--Morgan 16:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Th.Th.[edit source]

I never understood what the signature Th.Th. stands for. Was the text perhaps written by Thrain, not Thror, and therefore meaning "Thrain Throrson"? Sage 14:09, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
