Editing issues

Hey Tar, I think you mentioned in the chat something about getting an error when trying to edit. Hopefully it was an isolated incident and just due to some session hiccup. Glad to see you back :), let me know if you see it again. --Hyarion 19:12, 4 September 2006 (EDT)

Elvish rewrite

I would like to commend you for your rewrite of the 'Elves' article. Excellent work. --Narfil Palùrfalas 09:49, 4 November 2006 (EST)

Thank you! I'm rather pleased you would compliment me for this. However, I can hardly claim full credit for this edit; most of it (just like our previous version) was taken from the Wikipedia article, but the Wikipedia article was vastly improved. I took out a lot of stuff from that dealing with Tolkien's writings themselves (since the point of our article is to talk about the Elves, not Tolkien's conception of them, unlike the Wikipedia article) and improved some spelling, etc. There's still a fair amount of work that can be done with this article, and I'll leave most of that to you and others. I think you know considerably more about the Elves than me, anyway. As you know Men are my area of expertise (and I'll be working on their page more too). --Tar-Telperien 15:57, 4 November 2006 (EST)
