== Images ==

Hi KA! If understand it correctly, the sorting of the artists by their last name disappeared when the category "Images by Artist" was changed to "Images by artist". Should they still be listed under their last name? --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 17:41, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

:Ah yes, I remember breaking that now (if it's any consolation, it was because the bot did it). They should still be listed alphabetically. I'll get round to fixing it at some point. --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 18:44, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

::I got round to it. --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 21:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Any idea on which copyright template to use on images of publications where the publisher no longer exists? For example, [[:File:Show Volume 1 Number 1.png|Show Volume 1 Number 1.png]].--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 20:01, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

:Yes, it's difficult to tell what happens to copyrights when businesses go bankrupt. However, just to be sure, I would use the fairuse template and attribute "H & R Publications" as the copyright holder. --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 21:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

==Lego Fair-use==
Hi KA, would it be possible if you could create a fair-use template for the Lego Group. As we already have many Lego images, and probally will have more in the future. Their site is: http://www.lego.com/en-us/Default.aspx Thanks! --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 20:19, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

:Certainly. I've made [[Template:Fairuse-Lego|the template]], but we'll have to ask one of those nice admins to add it to the [[MediaWiki:Licenses|licensing list]].--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 22:02, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Bot ==

Thanks for the help!--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 17:52, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

:No problem!--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 18:35, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

== Mandos ==

I'll leave this with you to sort out, but [[Talk:Námo (Mandos)]] didn't move because [[Talk:Mandos]] already existed. I don't know if you want to keep one/both/neither. Up to you. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 15:28, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

:They can probably just stay as they are.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 16:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Why thank you for the welcome, King Aragorn, or shall I call you Strider? {{Unsigned|OlorinTheWhite}}

:You can call me Strider if you want! --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 22:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

== Fair-use Cover ==

We need to do something about this: {{Redlink|[[Template:Fairuse-cover]]}}. It's used ''a lot'' and does seem moderately useful. Do we need, e.g. "Fairuse-HarperCollins", "Fairuse-HoughtonMifflin" etc etc? --{{User:Mith/sig}} 10:04, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

:Yes. Whenever I attempt to sort it out, I quickly give up because of all the work involved. From the start of June I will be able to help you with all of this work.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 10:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

::Come in chat or FB! --{{User:Mith/sig}} 10:38, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

== Deleting things ==

{{blockquote|I only delete things that [[Special:WhatLinksHere/File:2nd age flat.png|have no other articles linking to them]].|{{User:Mith/sig}} 20:40, 11 December 2011 (UTC)}}

My policy [[Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Quentin Lowagie - Arda in the First Age.gif|has]] [[Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Quentin Lowagie - Arda in the Second Age.gif|not]] [[Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Quentin Lowagie - Arda in the Third Age.gif|changed]]. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 22:48, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

:Will I ever learn?!--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 08:50, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

::Apparently not! --{{User:Mith/sig}} 11:12, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

I am not going to delete any more of the 66 candidates for speedy deletion unless you can assure me that [[Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Doors of Night.jpg|there is no more of these]]. You consistently do this and it is beginning to annoy a bit. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 21:43, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

==Z==
Hi! Can you please add Z to Portal:Languages? The code on the page was too complicated for me... --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 22:08, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

:Done!--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 10:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

== Locations category ==

I'm trying to name a category for such [[:Category:Sites of civilisation|Sites of Civilations]] referring to courtyards, markets, squares, etc. How about "Spaces", or is too vague? Articles include [[Court of the Fountain (Minas Tirith)]] and [[Square of the Palace]]. Or can we use an existing category?--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 21:27, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

:How about "Squares"?--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 22:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

::Sounds good.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 22:47, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

== Change cat ==

Don't forget to change to [[:Category:Gatekeepers with over 10000 edits|Category:Gatekeepers with over 10000 edits]]! ;) --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 21:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

:Many thanks!--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 12:22, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

== Image/File ==

What's the difference? Do we need to change [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Help:Images#How_to this]?--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 20:34, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

:It's the old way of doing it. Of course, both will work. But you'll usually find that articles that use "Image:" are very old and haven't been updated in a long time. It just bugs me! --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 20:53, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

::It bugs me that you change <nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{References}}</nowiki>, for example, it's not necessary and we should be consistent! File: is preferable (because we have sound clips that are files and certainly not images), but I don't think it's worth editing a page to specifically change. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 12:08, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

== Radagast/Decipher ==
I tagged Radagast's Decipher Card appearance with a {fact} because I've been meaning to check out the source. It was an article on Weta's site ([http://www.decipher.com/content/2004/07/072204lotrwetacasting.html]). It's dead, but it's still accessible with Wayback Machine - [http://web.archive.org/web/20080906171452/http://www.decipher.com/content/2004/07/072204lotrwetacasting.html]. How would we source that? --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:22, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

:I wasn't sure myself, but Mith suggests that we should just reference the archive.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 16:30, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

::Yep, nothing strange about that -- give the Wayback Machine page as the reference.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 19:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

== Tom and Goldberry ==
Which Infobox? We don't know what they are, do we? --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 17:58, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

:Exactly. They're legitimate characters and it's a shame that they don't have an infobox just because we don't know what they are. How about an infobox for "enigmas"?--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 18:01, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

::I have no problem with that. --{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 18:43, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

== Copyright license ==

I talked to Mans Bjorkman and he said that we have his permission to use [[:Category:Flags_and_Devices|his heraldic devices]] provided that we mention:
#A link to the source (http://www.forodrim.org/gobennas/heraldry/heraldry.htm)
#A disclaimer that they are based on Tolkien's own images and descriptions.
[[User:Sage|Sage]] 17:28, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah, will you proceed to add the copyright notice, templates etc? [[User:Sage|Sage]] 17:51, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

:Thanks for getting permission from Mans Bjorkman. As they're not all by Bjorkman in the [[:Category:Flags and Devices|Flags and Devices category]], I can't bot it. Could you add the the info to each page? Just put the source URL as the website (i.e. <nowiki>[http://www.forodrim.org/gobennas/heraldry/heraldry.htm Source]</nowiki>), and put the disclaimer under <nowiki>==Summary==</nowiki>.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 17:57, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks for fixing my goof up on the Third Age:2644 page. I meant to add Third Age:2665 which was a broken link on most of the Náin genealogy pages (including the Thorin page), but edited the existing 2644 instead. When I went back to the Thorin page later, I couldn't understand at first why the link was still red. --[[User:NoBT|NoBT]] 22:44, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

== Signed by Shippey ==

I'm jealous! I should have gone... :-( --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 21:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

:We did try to convince you once or twice! ;) I'm debating whether or not to leave those copies untouched - I want to read them! --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 21:15, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

== Writings ==

I undid your last edit to Writings by J.R.R. Tolkien: if you check an [http://tolkiengateway.net/w/index.php?title=Index:Writings_by_J.R.R._Tolkien&oldid=105271 early version of the article], the entries often contained publisher, page numbers for essays, etc. But since the list is now so large, I've removed all that information, which is available in the individual articles.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 19:07, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

:No problem!--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 12:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
