We (or perhaps mostly I) have often used the phrase "Tolkien scholar" to denote an author who has published large and/or important studies on Tolkien's life and works. However, I feel it's (1) a bit clumpsy to use this description when several such highly regarded authors are discussed in the same article, and (2) it's an unofficial term which — although in some cases being evident — in some cases could be open for discussion. Since this is a hyperlinked wiki — wouldn't it be better to just use names (with no title or designation)?--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 23:52, 16 December 2016 (UTC) | We (or perhaps mostly I) have often used the phrase "Tolkien scholar" to denote an author who has published large and/or important studies on Tolkien's life and works.

We (or perhaps mostly I) have often used the phrase "Tolkien scholar" to denote an author who has published large and/or important studies on Tolkien's life and works. However, I feel it's (1) a bit clumpsy to use this description when several such highly regarded authors are discussed in the same article, and (2) it's an unofficial term which — although in some cases being evident — in some cases could be open for discussion. Since this is a hyperlinked wiki — wouldn't it be better to just use names (with no title or designation)?--Morgan 23:52, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
