Ideas for Agenda

• I'm not intending to sound anti-American (because I'm not at all), but a discussion on the americentrism in some articles regarding book information.-- Mith
• Having a Poll on the Main Page.-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  18:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
• Making clear how Canon should look, what it should have, what not. Discuss examples, comparisons to other fictions(?), et cetera. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 09:37, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
• Revisit the proposed References system. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 09:37, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
  • If possible, I'd like to second that. (Do we do seconding?) --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits)
• Infobox standardisation. Sometimes it seems as if there isn't much uniformity between what's included on various infoxboxes. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits)
• A discussion on dates and calendars. For example, we don't list in-world events on the 31st of a month, yet we don't compensate with having Lithe and Yule on the calendars. As a result, the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen does not (and currently cannot) appear on our calendar as it happened on Midyear's Day, a non-existent date on the Gregorian Calendar. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits)
