I want to create a place at the bottom that sort of dissects and analyzes the lay written above, but it has been turning out rather like a repeat of the introduction at the top. I would like some help, if anyone is willing (Earendilyon?) --[[User:Narfil Palùrfalas|Narfil Palùrfalas]] 22:01, 5 June 2006 (EDT)

:Thanks for thinking about me concerning this, Narfil, but I think I've to disappoint you: I've no clue whatsoever about literary analysis, let alone poetical analysis. --[[User:82.74.29.47|82.74.29.47]] 16:04, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

Talk:Rulers of Númenor

Two points: <br>
1. the family tree is rather screwed up at the moment; <br>
2. shouldn't this information be rather placed in the article [[Kings of Númenor]]? [After a rewrite, IMO.]

:Arg ya it is, I'm working on a new Family Tree template that looks pretty nice so I'll try and fix those up soon. Regarding the [[Kings of Númenor]], the tricky part is there were so many ruling Queens that it would be awkward to put them under ''Kings'' so one would have to have a ''Queens'' article which separates the information a bit too much in my opinion. I suppose we could just put the queens in ''Kings of Númenor'' but Rulers just seemed to allow both genders. Do you still vote for Kings? --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 11:00, 21 March 2006 (EST)

::Well, in the Netherlands the official title of the royal head of state is 'King', be it a man or a woman on the throne. Of course, Queen Beatrix is referred to as Queen, but officially, we are ruled by the 'King of the Netherlands'. Wouldn't that be the same for other countries? Moreover, in [[Númenor]] the people were also ruled by Kings initially; only later on, this was changed to have also female rulers. The four '''Ruling Queens''' are therefore, in my opinion at least, the exceptions to the rule. So, to conclude, I would vote for moving this to [[Kings of Númenor]]. --[[User:82.74.29.47|82.74.29.47]] 16:04, 21 March 2006 (EST)
