Edit on the East Road page

Welcome to Tolkien Gateway. Thank you for your efforts to contribute to the content on Tolkien Gateway. It is not necessary to add quotation marks to names of references. In addition, references should not be written as clear text. There are templates for references. I recommend to have a look at the pages on the Category:Citation templates page to get familiar with references. I also recommend to have a look at the Help:References page section about page numbers, escpecially if you have access to a 50th anniversary single-volume edition of LOTR or to The Lord of the Rings - A Reader's Companion which also refers to those page numbers. I already discussed that I intend to work on that page, because it currently contains speculation or overinterpretation about who constructed the East Road for which purpose and it does not contain suffient or sufficiently detailed references for the basis for this speculation. I assume that you did not notice those deficiencies when you made your edit that primarily rephrased existing content. --Akhôrahil (talk) 10:45, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit on the Gilraen page

Again, thank you for wanting to improve the content on Tolkien Gateway. Please be more careful in the future to check if a word that seems unusual to you is really a spelling mistake or just an old word before you change it into another word. As I explained in the Summary text in my edit after your edit, a "tressure" is a word of medieval English for a net for confining the hair. In addition, you seem to have missed that the same word tressure was used in the etymology section above the sentence that you edited. The word tressure can also be found in online dictionaries. --Akhôrahil (talk) 13:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
