Ideas for Discussion
- Discuss the Community Portal, if anything should be added/changed etc. Also discuss it's importance for newcomers and regular users.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 15:24, 10 August 2008 (EDT)
- And for the newcomers: an introduction round (of all, ofc)? Who you are, where you're from, what you want to contribute... Also, since I've added so many TG-namespace articles to the category, weed it out: what's necessary and what's not. -- Ederchil 15:53, 10 August 2008 (EDT)
- Discuss Ederchil's nomination for adminship, and the sharing of responsibility on the site, as is suggested here.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 15:14, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
- Discuss some sort of policy regarding GdT's The Hobbit. In December, casting (and the rumour around it) begins. Next year, photography. It's early, but a clear policy concerning the in/exclusion of rumours and leaked set info would be handy to have ready when Udûn breaks loose. (Note: can wait a couple of weeks if we're out of time). -- Ederchil 14:30, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
- Discuss adding more pronounced articles, like what Ardamir has done.--Quidon88 20:09, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

I like the format here, but I'm still unsure, the wiki that I administrate, the Pirates of the Caribbean Wiki (Link is bad, simply go to main page from Bad Title and switch to Monobook for best view), is a small wiki too, and I don't want to get involve with a wiki with just a handful of users.
