Possible Name Change?[edit source]

I don't really care but does anyone think the name should be changed? Possibly to "Battle of Menegroth" or is the title just fine? By the way the title comes from what Tolkien called it in the Silm. --Dwarf Lord 13:39, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Personally i think the page is moribund considering what is already said in the Second Kinslaying page. Dr Death 14:56, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
That page has absolutely nothing on the battle with the Dwarves. All of it is about the kinslaying afterward. --Dwarf Lord 15:08, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
I agree with Dwarf Lord here. Add some good content, mention the Tale of Nauglafring and its status in the canon, cite your sources and I'm good. -- Ederchil 16:52, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Claim Tag[edit source]

Glad to see you working on this-- put a Claimed tag on it. -- Theoden1  talk  contribs  edits  20:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

How do I do that? Way back when I edited all the time nobody need claim tags, since there were so few of us! LoL Dwarf Lord (my toolbar for some reason is not show up so I can't put my sig on correctly)

Bogys Numbers[edit source]

It appears that a user named Tar Alcarin seeded this and other articles with nonsense numbers in 2010 for troop estimates. I think s/he took the numbers from old MERP modules. --Michael Martinez 05:02, 24 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You are quite right. I am going to remove all sourceless ones right now. It is good to see, at least, that someone has challenged the figures with a request for a source. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 09:43, 24 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
