Picture[edit source]

Gosh, folks! Can we get rid of the picture featured here?! Finarfin is neither female nor an Elven Archmage from the Warhammer Universe! Unfortunately I can not find any picture displaying Finarfin. But in my honest oppinion, no picture is better than this. I'd also like to propose to use other pictures for Maedros, Finrod, Fingon. There are actually better ones in the galleries. But especially this one is simply unfitting. --Thalion 03:00, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I like Anna Lee's images. But I agree with you on this Finarfin picture. How's this? It's by Alice Falto (who has given TG her permission to use her artwork).-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  07:58, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think we should just delete this image (better no picture than a really bad picture). It's categorized as "Images by unidentified artists", perhaps it's not even supposed to be a portrayal of Finarfin. The picture by Alice Falto is okay with me.--Morgan 14:13, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

High King[edit source]

Is there any reference for this claim? that he was High King in Valinor? Saying he "ruled his people" is not the same thing. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 17:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No reference as far as I know. See also discussion here: Talk:High_King_of_the_Noldor. --Tik 12:05, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Orodreth[edit source]

Where is Orodreth in the list of his sons and daughters? He is definitely in the genealogy at the back of the Silmarilion, isn't he? I might have gotten confused, but I had a check of my book and it says so. --TomBombadil (talk) 09:45, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sorry, just was looking around the wiki more and I realised my mistake, I didn't realise that not everything in the Silmarillion is still canon. Disregard! :) --TomBombadil (talk) 09:45, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Everything is canon, but we just should keep in mind that not every statement written in the published Silmarillion is absolute true, because it is mannish transcription of the elvish lore, so mistakes and discrepancies, made by mannish annalists and copyists, are inevitable.
