Talk:Wizards

I think this article needs some extra editing: the different parts look like loose sand to me: too little coherence. --Earendilyon 15:48, 5 April 2006 (EDT)

Hm, well it definitely needs to be broken into sections, doesn't look very appealing all in one block of text. I'll add it to my list. Maybe we need a "List of categories currently working on" or something. Little bits of editing here and there is nice, but like the Chamber of Mazarbul we can write some great articles if we can focus on certain ones at a time. --Hyarion 16:00, 5 April 2006 (EDT)

It could probably use a reference to the bit mentioned in Unfinished Tales, that the Order of Wizards included more than the Five, but the five were the ones that were sent to the north.66.8.254.133 16:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Human feelings

This article has a reasoning of the "human feelings" (which I changed to "mannish feelings", for the moment being) of the Wizards. However, I find the argument a bit strange: could these feelings be attributed to only humans/Men? Isn't "greed", for example, a typical Dwarven trait? --Morgan 23:38, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Redirect to Heren Istarion

I don't think that the main page for content about the Five Wizards should live under the article name "Heren Istarion." I think that name is excessively obscure, and it better serves the encyclopedic purpose of the wiki to use the common name as the page name. Does anyone else feel that the redirection of this page to that one should be reversed? --Mord 07:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I agree that those changes should be reversed. It has been a policy to use the most common name. In addition the user Dour1234 did not use the move function so the history of the changes and the talk page are still on the old page. The user should be warned and closely monitored. --Akhorahil 07:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I agree.--Shivam 08:07, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I think that the wizards page should be moved to Heren Istarion because the wizards are an order, not standard fantasy wizards. Also, while the Heren Istarion is the proper name for them. I do think that the page should be at least moved to an “Order of Wizards” page as that is the translation of Heren Istarion and the common name wizards is still used. Also, I apologize for my edit before. I am new to editing on Tolkien Gateway and in the future, I will not make these mistakes again. Dour1234, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
