Categories

Hi, I think only a few of the categories you are adding are fine. You should check this before continue: Tolkien_Gateway:Manual_of_Style#Categories. --LorenzoCB 12:13, 14 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sauron article

Hi. Please, leave alone the Sauron article. You making many errors: You are using a quote that belongs to the Thû article, not Sauron. You can't change the main image just because: Help:Images#Rules. There is no need to explain the origins of Mairon in the introduction when they are going to be repeated in its section: Tolkien_Gateway:Manual_of_Style#Introduction.--LorenzoCB 12:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Morgoth's Ring

It seems that you had problems with the reference. I corrected what you wrote to <ref>{{MR|P2}}</ref>, but probably you should give more precise chapter and page.

In general the code {{work|chapter}}, p. xx) is used (this shortcuts for works, chapters as described on pages for individual templates and pages by hand).

"The History of Middle-earth series - Include page numbers in citations from editions published by HarperCollins or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (all of which have the same pagination)" Do you have one of these editions?

<ref name="something"> lets you repeat references:

one<ref name=abc>sourceABC</ref> two<ref>sourceXYZ</ref> three<ref name=qwe>sourceQWE</ref> four<ref name=abc/> five<ref name=qwe/>
<references />

one[1] two[2] three[3] four[1] five[3]

  1. 1.0 1.1 sourceABC
  2. sourceXYZ
  3. 3.0 3.1 sourceQWE

Recent edits

A lot of your recent edits had to be reverted due to quality problems. I recommend to you to not to make edits that merely rephrase the existing wording, as such edits are mostly unnecessary. Please read the comments that other users made in the Summary: box when they reverted your edits or changed your edits. It is problematic if statements are not supported by the sources. --Akhorahil (talk) 10:12, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
