Revision as of 00:47, 7 March 2006
As my knowledge of all things Tolkien is far inferior to that of some things Wiki, I want to suggest some things...
First of all: Page titles such as Barahir grandson of Faramir should be avoided as much as possible. Only when there are more than one Barahirs should this be used. If you have to do this, do it this way: Barahir (grandson of Faramir) so you don't forget whether or not you added that dratted comma...
Further it might be an idea to add a sort of "pub" for this kind of discussions. - Bokkie 18:04, 3 Sep 2005 (EDT)
Good Ideas
Great points. Barahir is one of those names that are used quite frequently, i.e. Barahir son of Bregor, Barahir son of Hador, Barahir grandson of Faramir, etc. In the beginning I was debating whether to do the parenthesis or not, but now that you bring it up, it is most likely something that we need to use.
A portal for discussion other than the main page is a good idea too, I'll try and think of a good name for something, although Portal might work, heh.
Thanks for your comments. --Hyarion 16:45, 5 Sep 2005 (EDT)
Feedback

license?
Is the content here GFDL? Gimli 07:18, 6 March 2006 (EST)
- What do you mean? --Earendilyon 07:36, 6 March 2006 (EST)
- I mean is it available under the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License - can it be copied to other sites under the provisions of that licence? Also if content has been copied from wikipedia, shouldnt it be acknowledged? Gimli 08:30, 6 March 2006 (EST)
