Laurelin93: /* Eye color */

== 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.)

He was a Noldo, so his eyes were either grey or blue.

== 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.
