Editing Tolkien Gateway

Hi LordAndSaviourSauron,

It's great that you have such a passion to edit Tolkien Gateway, and contribute to making our wiki even better. But there are a few points I want to raise with you:

  • Capital letters - in English, proper nouns have capital letters. In your Warg Matriarch article, there were a number of instances where capital letters were missing, such as "Gundabad", "The Hobbit" and "Thorin.
  • References - when referencing websites we have a template to help you to do that. But, more broadly, we want to see references against claims in articles so that we are able to justify them. This includes the etymology of the character names and specifics within the film trilogies.
  • Speculation - we do not include personal speculation within our articles. Academic, scholarly, or fan speculation can be included so long as it is from a reputable source and specifically states who has suggested it. E.g. "It has been suggested by Tom Shippey that..."

Just keep those in mind for the future. Thank you! --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 13:34, 14 April 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Further to the above, please see this edit on the capitalisation of "Middle-earth". --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 16:14, 23 April 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
