== TA 2000 ==
TA 2000 has Thráin I abandoning Erebor for the Grey Mountains. I can't locate a source for that and I think it is incorrect. ''Thorin'' I leaves Erebor for the Grey Mountains in 2210. ''LoTR'' App. B. However, there is another important event that does occur in TA 2000: "The Nazgûl issue from Mordor and besiege Minas Ithil." ''Id.'' OK to make that change?

==Cleanup Templates==
I noticed the timelines for the First, Second, and Third Age all have cleanup templates. Are they there for a particular type of revision that needs to take place, or just revision in general? These first three also have no references; was that a choice for the timeline style? The Fourth Age timeline has references and no cleanup template. Should we be adding references to the first three? --[[User:Grace18|Grace18]] 15:56, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
== TA 3020 Druedain Attack source? ==
Does anyone have a source for "Drúedain destroy remnant of Saruman's Orcs" currently mentioned as having taken place in 3020 TA?
The only source I can find for anything like this is in an Unfinished Tales note<ref>{{UT|12c}} no. 13</ref>. It states the Druedain which did indeed still survive in Druwaith Iaur came out of their caves and attacked remnants of Saruman's forces that were driven southwards. However, this takes place ''after'' the Battles of the Fords of Isen, which occured in February-March 3019.
If no one has a source for this event as it currently stands, is anyone opposed to me migrating it to Feb-March 3019 or removing it completely? If it's not bookmarking the Third Age as the final conflict between free peoples and orcs, it may be too minor a point to include earlier in the timeline. Or I could attach a Questionable Statements tag to it. [[User:Darthbombadil|darthbombadil]] ([[User talk:Darthbombadil|talk]]) 01:46, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Editing During Major Revisions[edit source]

Is it OK to edit the Third Age timeline or specific years in the Third Age while Mith is in the process of making major revisions to these articles? Unsigned comment by Gamling (talk • contribs).

I don't have a problem with it - it's really there as a notification that I have stuff planned for the article. Unfortunately, however, there is currently a fault with the wiki which means Timeline/Third Age can't be edited due to its large size. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 13:23, 6 March 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

TA 2000[edit source]

TA 2000 has Thráin I abandoning Erebor for the Grey Mountains. I can't locate a source for that and I think it is incorrect. Thorin I leaves Erebor for the Grey Mountains in 2210. LoTR App. B. However, there is another important event that does occur in TA 2000: "The Nazgûl issue from Mordor and besiege Minas Ithil." Id. OK to make that change?

Yep. Please do! --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 17:38, 18 July 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cleanup Templates[edit source]

I noticed the timelines for the First, Second, and Third Age all have cleanup templates. Are they there for a particular type of revision that needs to take place, or just revision in general? These first three also have no references; was that a choice for the timeline style? The Fourth Age timeline has references and no cleanup template. Should we be adding references to the first three? --Grace18 15:56, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

TA 3020 Druedain Attack source?[edit source]

Does anyone have a source for "Drúedain destroy remnant of Saruman's Orcs" currently mentioned as having taken place in 3020 TA?

The only source I can find for anything like this is in an Unfinished Tales note[1]. It states the Druedain which did indeed still survive in Druwaith Iaur came out of their caves and attacked remnants of Saruman's forces that were driven southwards. However, this takes place after the Battles of the Fords of Isen, which occured in February-March 3019.

If no one has a source for this event as it currently stands, is anyone opposed to me migrating it to Feb-March 3019 or removing it completely? If it's not bookmarking the Third Age as the final conflict between free peoples and orcs, it may be too minor a point to include earlier in the timeline. Or I could attach a Questionable Statements tag to it. darthbombadil (talk) 01:46, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
