Talk:Fëanor

141.101.76.29: /* Main image change */

== Eye color ==
When making the infobox, I purposefully left Fëanor's eye color blank. I can't think of anywhere that it is attested, though I strongly suspect it's grey. Does anyone know of a source where Tolkien stated the color of his eyes? —[[User:Tar-Telperien|Tar-Telperien]] 18:25, 2 December 2006 (EST)

:All Elves' eyes were grey, but Fëanor's, I believe, were darker than usual, and yet with a fiery light. I'll check the Sil's description. --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 18:32, 2 December 2006 (EST)

::I seem to have. . . er. . . misplaced my Silmarillion copy. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's right. --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 18:37, 2 December 2006 (EST)

:::In ''The Silmarillion'' it just says that his eyes were "piercingly bright", which tells us nothing about their actual color. —[[User:Tar-Telperien|Tar-Telperien]] 19:24, 2 December 2006 (EST)

::::All Elves have grey eyes? I had no idea? Where did you find that bit of information? [[User:Corsair Caruso|Corsair Caruso]] 03:02, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

::::: Not all of the Quendi had grey eyes, just dark hair and grey eyes was the most common appearance among them. Perhaps fav type of beauty of JRRT, referenced from his wife? Finwe for example had grey-blue eyes, Olwe - blue. For general descriptions check ''Quendi and Eldar'' in HoME and other essays, for help check this set of quotations we've gathered at the ''Silmarillion club'' at deviantART - link: [http://silmarillion-club.deviantart.com/journal/Tolkien-Illustrator-s-First-Aid-Kit-Elves-227588703] (Sorry, I forgot how to tag URL properly.) Greetings, [[User:Sirielle|Sirielle]] 21:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

::::::He was a Noldo, so his eyes were either grey or blue.{{unsigned|Laurelin93}}

== FA Nomination? ==
::::This is a good article! You should put it up for FA!--[[User:Galdor of the Havens|Galdor of the Havens]] 20:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

:::::It has some major source issues. Currently, the reference list is unorganized and contains both canon and noncanon sources, making it unclear what exactly came from where. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 20:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

::::::Still, after a small bit of work, and drastically lowering the span of which an article is featured (maybe to a week), this article could be featured.--[[User:Galdor of the Trees|Galdor of the Trees]] 17:45, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

==Order of birth==
Throughout Tolkien's latest writings [[Curufin]] is listed as the '''fourth son of Fëanor'''. Yet Christopher Tolkien doesn't seem to care about that tiny fact. [[User:Woolly Mammoth|Woolly Mammoth]] 17:16, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

''"His sons were too occupied in war and feuds to pay attention to such matters, save Maglor who was a poet, and Curufin, his '''fourth''' and favourite son to whom he gave his own name..."'' - J.R.R. Tolkien, [[The Shibboleth of Fëanor]] [[User:Woolly Mammoth|Woolly Mammoth]] 17:16, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

==Main image change==
The main image is expressive, but is little and dark, while the wiki has lots of images that describe the character better. I propose [[:File:Venlian - Heart of Venlian.jpeg]], which includes many atributes. But there are others pretty nice: [[:File:Jenny Dolfen - Feanor's Last Stand.jpg]], [[:File:Anna Lee - Feanor.jpg]], [[:File:Venlian - Feanaro.jpg]]. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] 16:35, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

:I agree, I like your proposal image because the article is lacking an image of the Silmarils which are synonymous to Fëanor. [[User:Gaetano|Gaetano]] 20:26, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

::I concur. {{User:Holdwine Meriadoc/sig}} 21:31, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

:::I have no idea how many votes are necessary to approve a proposal, but I changed it. If an admin thinks that a more modest image would be better, I agree. --[[User:LorenzoCB|LorenzoCB]] 22:13, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

::::Frankly, that image looks a bit too...well...Conan the Barbarian-like, for lack of a better term, lol. While I understand that including Silmarils in an image of Feanor might seem like a good thing, given their importance to his character, I still think [[:File:Venlian - Feanaro.jpg|this]] is a better representation of him. Or, perhaps, this one: [[:File:Venlian - Feanor.jpg]]. --[[User:IvarTheBoneless|IvarTheBoneless]]

::::: You could argue that the first image also looks like its from Conan the Barbarian. I like the second image but again I prefer one with the jewels. If there is one I am open for a change. [[User:Gaetano|Gaetano]] 15:00, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

::::::I liked the previous image, but I think the Jenny Dolfen option was better than the Venlian one chosen. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 09:03, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

:::::::I feel like this one: [[:File:Sara M. Morello - Feanor and the Silmarils.jpg]] might also work, any thoughts? (I know it's been a while). It seems to have a bit less of the, um, Conan the Barbarian effect, at least. The Jenny Dolfen one's not bad either, although I get that it's nice to have the Silmarils.--[[User:Grace18|Grace18]] 21:35, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

::::::::I think that's a good choice. I too like the Jenny Dolfen one, but I agree that we should include the Silmarils in the picture. --[[User:Ancalagon the Black|Ancalagon the Black]] 00:02, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Just noticed we never really reached a consensus on this. Any other opinions? --[[User:Grace18|Grace18]] 20:06, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

:I think the [[:File:Venlian - Heart of Venlian.jpeg|current image]] is fine as is.
