== Featured Articles ==

Any registered user can nominate an article for '''featured''' status. It should be well-written, complete, illustrated, and referenced. After nomination, an article should receive five votes with with no objections within a month or so. Each entry should begin with '''Agree''' or '''Disagree''' and be signed by the user. One vote allowed per user, of course. For the sake of practicality, let's limit active nominations to '''two articles''' at a time. Further nominations should be held in the queue, in reserve.

==[[Gandalf]]==
It's a pretty impressive article, and well deserved for my favourite character and such an interesting character.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 07:14, 6 June 2008 (EDT)

* '''Agree'''. If I'm not mistaking, Gandalf has already been FA once. That doesn't mean it can't be again, but it's near the end of the queue. Oh, '''agree''', btw. but the sourcing needs to be a bit better. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 08:01, 6 June 2008 (EDT)

* '''Agree'''. This article is extensive, appears complete, well-referenced, and lavishly illustrated. It is a prime example of what an FA should be.--[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 13:31, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

*'''Agree'''. Yes, quite well done. Excellent, in fact.--Ingwe

[[Category:Featured Article Nominations|Featured Article Nominations]]

* '''Agree'''. Nice long article, good information, plus good introduction into Tolkien. {{unsigned|ZehnWaters}}

*'''Agree''' A Middle Earth without Gandalf, is not a true Middle Eearth at all.--{{User:Breragor/sig}}

*'''Agree'''. After reading it, I have to admit it is the best article we have.--<tt>[[User:Odysseas-spartan-53|Odysseas]]-[[User talk:Odysseas-spartan-53|Spartan]][[Special:Contributions/Odysseas-spartan-53|53]]</tt> 10:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. Exellent Article! Besides, Gandalf is the heart of Tolkien's work. His article deserves to be featured. [[User:Mthomas|mthomas]] 12:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

*'''Agree'''. The first thing new users see is the main page, and generally people are most familiar with Gandalf. --Yurpee

*'''Agree'''. A central character in the LoTR trilogy. Everyone knows who he is and he deserves a good moment in the spotlight. -- Naruvir

==[[Gondor]]==
[[Gondor]] would be a good choice. It's extensive, covers many bases, and has the requisite references. It should be next in line to be voted on for FA status.--[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 10:41, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

{{expansion}}
'''Imin''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[ˈimin]}}) was the first [[Elf]] who [[Awakening of the Elves|awoke]] at [[Cuiviénen]] and one of the three [[Elf-fathers]]. His [[Wives of the Elf-Fathers|spouse]] was [[Iminyë]].

Imin wandered with the two other Fathers [[Tata (Elf)|Tata]] and [[Enel]] until they found a group of 12 sleeping Elves which he took with him. The Clan was named after him [[Minyar]], the "Firsts".

Thereafter, he refused to take the other Elves that they found waiting for a group. Hence they found none other and his clan remained with only 14 members.

The clan was later named [[Vanyar]].

83.251.248.175: New page: ==What is this about?== I can't help but to think this is a weird article. What is it trying to say? He let twelve elves walk with him, but refused everyone else? Why?
