:I also don't understand what you want to say here. I might agree that the "canon" policy is simplistic. However you haven't followed my advice for modest edits.

Woolly Mammoth 07:51, 12 May 2015 (UTC) I know I am repeating myself over and over concerning this matter, but...Why are the concepts which were developed by Tolkien (whether he changed his mind over the course of time, or not) so lightly thrown around as "Canon" or "Noncanon".
Only concepts that should NOT be considered canon are those that were developed by anyone but Tolkien. We really should do something about it. And I have noticed that some of the administrators follow that misguided concept. So please! Consider your objectivity.
- I don't understand your point. Which administrators are you speaking about? --Morgan 17:06, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
