Talk:Amon Sûl-stone

I have just updated the article on the Amon Sûl-stone and have created a contradiction. Citing the section on "The Palantíri" in the Unfinished Tales, the article states that this Seeing-stone was too heavy for one man to lift. Just to the right is an image of King Arveleg I casually lifting this stone with one hand. While I dislike discarding any images from TG, this picture is not in agreement with the published information. Should this image be removed? --Gamling 03:23, 25 March, 2012

You're right. It should be removed or a comment should be added beneath the image to explain its inadequacy.-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  09:13, 25 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep the image. Add a comment. We have loads of images that contradict the writings (such as ones showing Fingolfin with blonde hair). --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 13:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I agree with Mith we should keep this image. --Amroth 15:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I uploaded a third image of the Amon Sûl-stone. It's perhaps not better to replace a non-canon image with another (portraying an imagined recovery of the stone from the sea) ;-)--Morgan 18:00, 25 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The name "Amon Sûl-stone"? It seems to me that it doesn't appear anywhere, at least neither in the Unfinished Tales nor in The Lord of the Rings, even if we have "Orthanc-stone", "Ithil-stone" and "Anor-stone". The palantír of Amon Sûl is either referred to in accordance with some other stone(s) ("The Stones/palantíri of Annúminas/Osgiliath and Amon Sûl" etc.) or the name Amon Sûl is mentioned before and the Stone is only called "the Stone" or "the palantír". Comunque, I would rather call it "The Stone of Amon Sûl" than "Amon Sûl-stone". (Neither do I like the hyphen between Sûl and stone after two separate words. Is it legal?) --Tik 13:49, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
