User talk:Earendilyon

219.240.12.173: /* Welcome! */

Just leaving a 'Hi I'm Earendilyon' note ;)

As a bit of a Latin fan(atic) I registered because I saw a bad translation of a Latin word (see Arda article and discussion). Otherwise, I've no conmtributions (yet) that I know of. But we'll see.

- Earendilyon

== Welcome! ==

Hey there Earendilyon. Just thought I'd leave a bit of a 'hello' for you. Just saw your edit on the [[Arda]] and [[Middle-earth]] articles, great contribution! It's great to have another Tolkien scholar around to help fix all the errors we have accumulated. You wouldn't happen to be the same Earendilyon from [http://www.minastirith.com MinasTirith.com] by any chance would you? Thanks again for stopping in and we'd love to see you back :) --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 15:59, 1 February 2006 (EST)

Hiyah Hyarion!

Ofcourse, I'm one and the same :) I'm also member at other boards than [http://www.minastirith.com MinasTirith.com] though, but MT is indeed my [[Tolkien]] home base. You may also know me, btw, of my [http://www.geocities.com/dominusanulorum/ Dominus Anulorum] project.

- Earendilyon

Ah, very cool! You really need to stop in on the [http://tolkiengateway.net/java/ IRC chat server] we've been trying to get the citizens to chat on there more often but it's going slow. You can find myself, Lord Mithrandir, Ardamir, Halion, and a few other regulars, we've been trying to setup weekly Lore discussions as well. Also forgive the recent site downtime, in the 3+ years we've had the site up that's longest we've been offline and I was just pulling my hair out, oh well at least it's fixed. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 18:31, 4 February 2006 (EST)

== Spam and Reversions ==

Thanks for keeping an eye on that spam for me, it comes in everyday and it's become a routine having to remove the filth. They usually edit as anonymous users so I've been tempting to just require anonymous user's edits to be verified by an administrator but I just feel that would take away from the wiki/edit anything instantly aspect.

If someone has messed up a page beyond recognition a good trick is to click the History tab, and you can see a list of all stages the page has been in, thank goodness the software keeps everything. Then you can click say the last edit by me, and it will show you what the page should look like, before the spam. Then you can just click edit and save and it'll save that older revision over the spam. Sorry I'm terrible at explaining things but hopefully you understand what I mean. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 12:59, 5 February 2006 (EST)

P.S. Thanks for the help.

----
I'll see what I can do in that respect. If I don't succeed with this explanation at hand, I'll get in touch :)

- [[User:Earendilyon|Ear.]]

Be careful on [[Talk:Main Page]] when removing the spam because a lot of times the spammer will replace comments on the page with spam, so if we just manually remove the spam we lose the comment(s) that was replaced. The best way is to click the History tab, click the last 'good' edit, click Edit, and then save it. Thanks again for the help :) --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 11:05, 2 March 2006 (EST)

Sorry, my mistake. --[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 04:10, 3 March 2006 (EST)

== Minas Tirith Library ==

One thing I've had in the idea queue is going through [http://www.minastirith.com Minas Tirith's] index topics and library and under 'External Links' on say the [[Balrogs]] article, link to relevant Balrog discussions. The wiki really isn't meant as a forum for debates/discussions so linking to forum discussions would interest people I think. What do you think? Of course we'd utilize other forums after MT but I think it would be a great place to start and give WGW some free traffic. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 19:08, 16 February 2006 (EST)

== Happy Birthday! ==

Just thought I'd wish you a happy birthday, luckily I saw the thread on [http://www.minastirith.com Minas Tirith] or I would not have known. As I write in all the birthday cards: Have fun on your birthday...because it could be your last :) --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 21:51, 16 March 2006 (EST)

:Thank you very much! I had fun, even though you posted this 2:51 hours after my birthday ended ;) --[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 05:27, 17 March 2006 (EST)

::Hah, well to be fair it was still your birthday where I live :p --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 11:10, 17 March 2006 (EST)

== User boxes ==

Don't be modest with lore-2, go for a lore-3 :p If you think of any other user box ideas, let me know. I think a "This user prefers evil" with a red/black color scheme, then a good one, then maybe a box for each race, etc. Just things to spice up the user pages and add a bit of fun. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 03:31, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

:I did indeed doubt a bit between lore-2 and lore-3, but decided on 2, as you also have that on your page ;-) Personally, I don't "prefer evil" but rather the "good side".
:Are you suffering from insomnia, btw? You're always up so late in the night! --[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 03:36, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

::Hehe, I never stated you should have an evil user box, it was a just suggestion for the site in general, but your quickness to deny it only proves it more so :p It's not very late here, only 12:44pm. The wiki is quite an addiction, I will admit to that, I would have thought this far into it I would have become bored but my interest seems to increase constantly. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 03:44, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

== *bows* ==

Hey there :) had someone from [http://www.theone-boards.net theone-boards.net] stop by the chat today, they said they heard about the encyclopedia from some thread and when I went to the forums and saw your name on the active users list I said to myself, hmm, I think I can take a guess where they heard it from :p Just wanted to give you a big thanks for helping to get the word out there. Your quote makes it all worth it :) --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 15:57, 6 May 2006 (EDT)

{{quote|About that "dedication champ" mentioned by Durin, the Tolkien Gateway is led by a very driven guy, Hyarion, and also by some other dedicated contributors. IMHO, it has the potential of becoming the best Tolkien encyclopedia out there, and, moreover, hard on its way to make true that potential.|[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]]}}

::Well, if you've had a look at that particular thread, it's about starting an encyclopedia at [http://www.theone-boards.net theone-boards.net] itself. I wrote a post in it long before I encountered the Gateway, supporting the idea. Since it (still) isn't more than an idea, I mentioned the Gateway before, and yeasterday again. The more people know about it, the better, I figured :-) --[[User:Earendilyon|Earendilyon]] 07:02, 7 May 2006 (EDT)

219.240.12.173:

My name is Bokkie, AKA Thorwald.
I'm a [[Men|human]] male of youthful age and have come in contact with [[Tolkien]] and his writings approximately 10 to 12 years ago.

The only works of Tolkien (and his son, Christopher) I have read so far are [[The Hobbit|The Hobbit (or there, and back again)]], [[The Lord of the Rings]] and [[The Silmarillion]].

I do not know much of Tolkien and his works, but I do however like Wikis.
During an IRC chat in [http://www.barrowdowns.com/theme-mordor.php #Barrowdowns] on [http://www.sorcery.net/ SorceryNet] I heard of this wiki and looked at, finding that much work could be done in the structuring of articles.

And the rest, as they say, can be read here. 8-)

Ríon is my pseudonym for everything related to Tolkien. It is also a translation of my real name Stefan into Sindarin, meaning Crowned-One as well as the name of my main roleplaying-character for the MMORPG Lord of the Rings Online.

I am 19 years old, live in Austria and i am currently a Student. I've read the Hobbit when i was 11 and since this time i started reading more and more of Tolkien's works. When i was 15 i started learning Sindarin and Quenya and im still learning even though my elvish is quite horrible still for i am easily distracted and learning a language .. well lets say i should maybe try to improve my english a little first of all.

My hobbies include reading fantasy novels (especially those written by J.R.R.T.), roleplaying (D&D, Vampire, Mage), MMORPGs (started with Asheron's Call and now ended up at waiting for Lord of the Rings Online), graphics design (i like creating photorealistic landscape a lot) as well as climbing and many other hobbies .. well forum posting would be one but its not really a hobby =)

Well i think thats it .. if you want to know more about me feel free to contact me at valor@fantasymail.de

Navaer,
