Why only images by Alan Lee? --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 10:14, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- The point is not the artist, but his illustrated edition, which is the most know and "official", in line with Ted Nasmith's Silmarillion. Maybe we could do otherwise, but I guess you will agree that "Images by publication" should not include fanart. I know this way is limited, but at least is clear. --LorenzoCB 11:43, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- How would a reader know when they see a category whether it is official or not (and surely Tolkien has officially illustrated his books, for instance), because it is not clear from the name? This is another instance where I fear we are making changes rashly and not considering the implications. And we're certainly doing it without substantial discussion. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 19:55, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- I feel like there should be at least a separate Category for Tolkien's work in illustrating the Hobbit. It has bugged me for a while you couldn't find them all together. I'monlysigningontofixFliesandSpiders (talk) 00:15, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
