[[File:WindsOfChange.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Winds of Change cover]]
'''''Winds of Change''''' is an album by [[Soundestiny]] that was released in 2010.

All words and music were written by Darryl Grant Potter. This CD is Part II of two albums that constitute the rock musical '''RingLord''' – a rock opera or rock musical inspired by [[The Lord of the Rings]]. The songs themselves contain no references to any [[Middle-earth]] characters such as [[Galadriel]] or [[Boromir]], nor place-names like [[Rohan]] or [[Gondor]]. As the project consisted of 25 songs in total, the band decided to divide the tracks into two separate ''[[The Lord of the Rings|TLOTR]]''-inspired album releases. ''Winds of Change'' (RingLord Part II) was released in 2010 whereas [[Shadow Rising]] (RingLord Part I) had been released six years prior by [[Soundestiny]] in 2004. The time lag was the result of live concerts, music video filming and recording of two other CDs during the intervening period.

Greenwizard: Updated history section

[[File:AllThatGlitters.jpg|250px|thumb|right|All that Glitters cover]]
'''''All that glitters''''' is an EP or mini-album by [[Soundestiny]] that was released in 2009.

This is a short CD of music inspired by ''[[The Hobbit]]'' with original songs written by Darryl Grant Potter. In 2009, [[Soundestiny]] were busily recording a full length album of Hobbit-inspired songs and decided to take a break from the project to finish their [[Winds of Change]] album. Consequently, it was decided to release four of the already-recorded ''Hobbit'' songs as an EP; the full album of songs inspired by [[The Hobbit]] was released in 2012 as [[Dragon Quest]]. The four songs on ''All that Glitters'' are a brief, musical glimpse into [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s magical, fantasy world that later became even more famous with the publication of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.

== Lineup ==
*Darryl Grant Potter: vocals, guitar, keyboards, flute

== General disclaimer ==

Hiya. I was working on uploading the FotR-pics when I suddenly thought, don't we need a general disclaimer to put underneath images? "The name(s) <nowiki>{{1}}, {{2}} and {{3}}</nowiki> and the description of their appearance are based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and the copyright to these names and descriptions is owned by [[Middle-earth Enterprises|Tolkien Enterprises]]. TG does neither have nor claim ownership blah blah blah...", you know the works. Since our current fair-use policy could use some work (display on userpages, for example, is not fair use). -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 17:31, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

:Agreed, although I think underneath the images should state fair use, while our Disclaimer link at the bottom of all pages should mention the general copyright message. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 04:57, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

::That link in the bottom leads to a page that does not exist yet, [[Tolkien Gateway:General disclaimer]]. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 08:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

== Me again - image galleries ==

Don't know when the next meeting will be, so I thought I'd post it here before I forget it. In the case of some categories - [[:Category:Images of Gothmog]] most notoriously - there's still some problem over disambiguation. Maybe all image categories should be renamed with the full pagename of the subject? Thus, [[:Category:Images of Boromir (Son of Denethor II)]] and such, rather than "Images of Boromir" - it is also handy when we would have a special box pointing to images - such as Wikipedia's interlinking with Wiktionary and Wikiquote, or Wookieepedia with quotes and images. I already did on of those for artist's galleries, [[:Template:Viewgal]]. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 14:55, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:Sorry for the late response, I've been meaning to reply for some time; school/work has gotten the best of me lately, but not for long! I fully agree regarding the full page name for Image categories. The Images box is a great idea, I don't know why I hadn't done that already, it'll help the articles look a little nicer as well. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 04:57, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

== UsercrEation ==
I'm looking at the User Creation log at the moment. Do we have some sort of bot operating? All those twelve lettered users are just too many to be a coincidence. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 09:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:Yup. Gonna block them all infinitely. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 15:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

==Ithilien + search==
Now that I'm on your talk anyway, any chance of the glitch in the search system of Ithilien (top links don't work) being fixed soon? I very much feel like switching back to cavendish. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 08:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

:Too late for soon; but I did manage to fix it. The search box has also moved temporarily to the top right. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 23:52, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== The Hobbit ==
I really hope to see this on the big screen i have waited now for so many years. Your fathers works are beyond compare and and everyone should be able to enjoy his works through reading and through Television and films ... i`d like my children to grow up reading his works as i have . Thanks {{unsigned|Tom}}

:Uhm... Hyar, I didn't know you looked like CT? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 22:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

==Multiple usernames==
Now that we can see the user creation log, it's also visible to see people who make multiple accounts. What do we do with those?

And on another note, isn't it time to archive 2008? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 22:35, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

:I suppose we should have some formal policy on multiple accounts. I should be able to change someone's username if they wish to change their name, so there really isn't much reason for someone to create two. I'd imagine the main perpetrators are bots in which case we can just ban their IP address if they do it continuously. As long as the user isn't switching back and forth between the accounts or creating them excessively there's probably not much harm.

:I think I was contemplating which year to archive the discussions which spanned multiple years. I went ahead and made a decision, although now I kind of miss my lengthy talk page.

:Thank you for stepping up these last few months. Two jobs and school don't mix well with the wiki, but my life should be down to no school and one job shortly so I'll be able to get back into the swing of things. Keep up the great work! --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 00:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

== Arda.jpg ==

Could you please tell me where (in which book) can I find the original map?
--[[Special:Contributions/201.253.244.46|201.253.244.46]] 19:37, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Buenos Aires, Argentina.

:It's a fanon map. Not correct legendarium-wise. I favour deletion, even. But where did it come from? It's been circling the net for some time, I don't think it came from a book. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 19:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

::Ohh ok, thanks very much

:::To me, it looks like it has been created by a fan, based on the maps by Karen Wynn Fonstad's [[The Atlas of Middle-earth]].--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 17:20, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

==Meetings==
Dear, Hyarion,

i was looking at the website and i noticed that there are meedings held on this sight. the last meeding was novemember 26th of 2008 and it was cancled and on that page it did not come up and say when the next meeding is going to happen. also i have another question when you want to enter another articail in the forums how do you do that? and is the chat area down is it being worked on. best of luck in life.{{unsigned|Elfhorse}}

==Backups==
This one comes partly from last night's outage, and partly from what happened to the [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page TFWiki] recently (a crash and a major - one year - loss of work): If TG would crash, what's the situation on the backups? Would we have to search for Google caches, or is there some backup system? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 08:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

:Right now the database is backed up weekly and we save a couple months worth of backups but I'm planning on doing nightly remote dumps, as even a week is a lot of lost work. The server hasn't been as reliable as it used to, I think we'll be migrating to a new host within the next year or two so we can improve uptime. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 00:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

== Next Meeting ==

It is planned that we hold our next meeting on the [[Tolkien Gateway:Meetings/5 April 2009|5th of April 2009]], please inform us if you can attend [[Tolkien Gateway talk:Meetings/5 April 2009|here]].--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 18:42, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

=="Retrieved From"==
Anyway we can get rid of that line that suddenly appeared everywhere? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 08:34, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

:Never mind, it's gone. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 10:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

==Next Meeting==

Sorry to clutter up your talk page, but just informing you about the next meeting. It is planned that we hold our next meeting on '''Monday''' the [[Tolkien Gateway:Meetings/13 April 2009|13th of April 2009]], please inform us if you can attend [[Tolkien Gateway talk:Meetings/13 April 2009|here]]. Remember that it's on Easter Monday, not Easter Sunday. Thanks!--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 13:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

== RE:Welcome ==

Thanks you, Hyarion. I want to make a question before returning to editing: How can I get rollback rights (if there are any)? I am already a rollbacker in another wiki, Halopedia (www.halo.wikia.com), and I would like to know how can I obtain these rights here. Thanks for your time,

:Hi Odysseas, sorry for the delay; right now we aren't distibuting roll back rights, but keep up the great work and we'll get them to you eventually. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 03:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Can we get [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap Extension: ImageMap] or something like it? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:37, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

:Yea, looks easy enough to install. I should have it done this weekend. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 01:57, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

== Merge ==

So what happened with the disscussions about the merging of the One Wiki to Rule Them All and Tolkien Gateway? Did it not work, or was there some issue? Was it forgotton? ~[http://lotr.wikia.com/User:Arvan_Swordwielder Arvan Swordwielder]

Hi Arvan, most of the editors migrated here but Wikia wished to keep their version online. If I can help with anything else just let me know. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 04:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

== Thumbnails ==

Hi. Can you please check out [[Historical Atlas]] and tell me what is wrong with thumbnail generation? It could evolve into a great article. Thanks [[User:Sage|Sage]] 11:23, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

:As far as I can tell, it's images in general that's to blame here. There's something wrong with uploading since the last update. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 12:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

===Sitenotice===
Related to the above, I've tried to put up [[:MediaWiki:Sitenotice|sitenotice]] to tell editors not to upload for the time being, but apparently you haven't activated it yet. Can you, please? also for future use it could be handy. -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 18:14, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

== Saruman's ring ==

Hi, I was reading Saruman's article and it's good but there is something I would like to ask. In the "Chief of the White Council" you have stated that Saruman HAD MADE a ring of power by using the knowledge of the noldor of former Eregion to enchant he's speaking voice. I would like to know WHERE and HOW have you came up with this knowledge because i have read a lot about middle earth and i have never found that Tolkien would have stated that Saruman had knowledge about making a ring of power or actualy made one. Also Where could he have made it? Orthanc or Isengard hadn't great forges before orcs came there and i doubt that forge any made by orc would be hot enough to make a ring of power.

== Google Maps for Arda ==

Hey, I have finished the [[User:Eldarion_Telcontar/Google_Maps_for_Arda|Google Maps for Arda extension]], we talked about [[Tolkien_Gateway_talk:To-do#map_engine_for_middle-earth|here]]. KingAragorn has tested it on a MediaWiki server he set up and after resolving one error it works well. Now it would be great if you could install the extension on our server. You can find the installation instructions [[User:Eldarion Telcontar/Google Maps for Arda/Installation|here]] (it takes under 10 minutes to install).

could you explain what is going wrong? [[User:LotRfan01|LotRfan01]] 20:36, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

:It's a glitch since the last update. Hyar hasn't been around lately, but he's the one that can solve this, I'll see if I can email him tomorrow. For now, the best advice is to wait until it's been fixed, or, if it's really necessary, upload pics of about 250px wide.

== My Bot ==

Hello Hyarion! Sorry to double-post on your talk page, but I was wondering whether for you could make [[User:Mithbot]] a bot? I promise I know what I'm doing (I'm using the [http://dotnetwikibot.sourceforge.net/ DotNetWikiBot Framework] which [[User:KingAragorn Bot]] uses) and would be fixing redirects, spelling errors, categorisations, that sort of thing. Thanks, --{{User:Mith/sig}} 00:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

:Done (a while ago, but replying for consistency). --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 01:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

== Forum inputbox down ==

Err ... while you’re at it, could you make [[:Forum:Council]] work again? Nobody can put up a new topic now (or you need to know exactly what needs doing and do a lot of work ‘manually’). — [[User:Mithrennaith|Mithrennaith]] 22:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

:Fixed. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 01:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

== server move hiccups ==

For some reason, all links are underlined since the server move. Any idea how to fix that? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:45, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

:Is there a problem with [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]: I've noticed that the style wasn't being applied to inclusions of [[Template:Pronounce]] and [[Template:Seq-head]] as well as the anchor issue Ederchil's mentioned. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 17:37, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

== The new server ==

Just wanted to say that the increased speed of the new server is very much appreciated! Many thanks for your work! --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 12:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:Glad to hear it is noticeable! We do seem to be having some random but persistent issues with the web server locking up and needing to be restarted, so if anyone has experienced that yet, it's not just you. I'm looking into it. Luckily my configuration is to blame and not the server. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 04:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

:::Actually, that one I didn't know, thanks for the heads up. I'll get it fixed tonight. --[[User:Hyarion|Hyarion]] 18:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

::::The [[Forum:Council|Forum]] also still seems to be broken, even worse than before ... — [[User:Mithrennaith|Mithrennaith]] 04:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I just wanted to inquire - when I created an account (a while ago now) and gave my email address, I received no confirmation.

:Hi Greenwizard! Thanks so much for your contributions to our music articles. Regarding confirmation of e-mail address, this is actually a bug in our mail service at the moment, so you have done everything correctly.

Winds of Change

Greenwizard: removed italics

[[Image:WindsOfChange.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Winds of Change cover]]
'''Winds of Change''' is an album by [[Soundestiny]] that was released in 2010.

All words and music were written by Darryl Grant Potter. This CD is Part II of two albums that constitute the rock musical '''RingLord''' – a rock opera or rock musical inspired by [[The Lord of the Rings]]. The songs themselves contain no references to any [[Middle-earth]] characters such as [[Galadriel]] or [[Boromir]], nor place-names like [[Rohan]] or [[Gondor]]. As the project consisted of 25 songs in total, the band decided to divide the tracks into two separate [[LOTR]]-inspired album releases. ''Winds of Change'' (RingLord Part II) was released in 2010 whereas [[Shadow Rising]] (RingLord Part I) had been released six years prior by [[Soundestiny]] in 2004. The time lag was the result of live concerts, music video filming and recording of two other CDs during the intervening period.

Greenwizard: Established 'All that Glitters', Hobbit-inspired album for Soundestiny

[[Image:AllThatGlitters.jpg|250px|thumb|right|All that Glitters cover]]
'''All that glitters''' is an EP or mini-album by [[Soundestiny]] that was released in 2009.

This is a CD of music inspired by [[The Hobbit]] with original songs written by Darryl Grant Potter. In 2009, [[Soundestiny]] were busily recording a full length album of Hobbit-inspired songs and decided to take a break from the project to finish their [[Winds of Change]] album. Consequently, it was decided to release four of the already-recorded ''Hobbit'' songs as an EP and release the full album of this material at a later date. The four songs on this disc are a brief, musical glimpse into [[Tolkien]]'s magical, fantasy world that later became even more famous with the publication of [[The Lord of the Rings]]. The songs are inspired by [[The Hobbit]] only – they contain no references to [[Middle-earth]] places like [[Hobbiton]] or [[Mirkwood]], nor characters such as [[Bilbo]] or [[Gollum]].

== Lineup ==
*Darryl Grant Potter: vocals, guitar, keyboards
*Kim Sewell: drums, percussion
