Talk:J.R.R. Tolkien

What about supplanting the text of this article by the text of Wikipedia's article on Tolkien? It's far more information in it. The present one here is rather scant, IMHO. I'm offering to get all the dead links out of the Wikipedia article. --Earendilyon 06:00, 16 February 2006 (EST)

I agree, not sure why I hadn't done that already. I do think that on some of the Wikipedia articles we should start cutting them down. They cram everything into those few articles because they don't have the opportunity to allow the expansion of content and pages on the subject like we do. --Hyarion 11:56, 16 February 2006 (EST)

But they do have that Middle-earth Portal I mentioned earlier @ Tolkien Gateway talk:Community Portal. --Earendilyon 16:30, 16 February 2006 (EST)

New Article Text

Well, I did it: I've copied the text from the Wikipedia article on Tolkien. I've deleted lots and lots of internal Wikipedia links; maybe even too many. Also, the pictures aren't there yet. And maybe we should put in some info from the old article? And perhaps 'export' some of the new article's text into seperate articles? --Earendilyon 05:38, 17 February 2006 (EST)
