I've decided to take on the burden of fleshing out the War of the Last Alliance pages. I consider myself a sage of the Second Age, so I'm going to work on it. --Theoden1 13:37, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

I suggest to merge this article with Last Alliance of Elves and Men --Thalion 10:01, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

I understand the suggestion, but the War will have far more tactical detail (eventually) than the more general article describing the alliance. --Theoden1 15:42, 24 April 2008 (EDT)
Agree with Theoden. If this is the "military" article, make the other the "politics" article. -- Ederchil 15:45, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

Agree. The Alliance is a page devoted to the Alliance itself not the conflict. By the way I will help you in your grand endeavor Theoden. --Dwarf Lord 01:46, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

Welcome to the War. Any help will be appreciated. I'm also working on some of the other pre-WR ancient battles as well. We need to flesh these out. --Theoden1 11:03, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Looking at some other Wikis, I notice that they often have a little flag icon in their war/battle boxes next to the the identification of the nation the force is allied with. As we are dealing with fantasy history, flags and insignias will not be as well defined, but I think it will add to the professionalism to which we aspire. For instance, the White Tree of Gondor as an icon, or the plain black standard of Sauron. --Theoden1 11:12, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Lotr - Weapons and Warfare

No offense, but how good is this as a source? Can't we use the book sources WaW cites? -- Ederchil 16:38, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Agreed, I don't have the book on me but I'll see if I can find the sources they use as we should do our best not to cite secondary sources, though they are better than not citing anything at all. --Hyarion 18:55, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
