In addition to several edits, I've also created a couple of articles, but they seem to have disappeared today. One was for the singer Eurielle who has done some stunning Tolkien-related songs, and another was an article regarding the Fourth Age: Total War to go into the modifications (games) section alongside the other Total War mods in there. I may have made some minor format errors (I'm still learning) but I'm pretty sure I got them at least 99% correct.

What's going on?

p.s. I still cannot upload images, although I do seem to be able to embed videos!

The articles disappeared... they were deleted. The Eurielle article was deemed not relevant to TG, while the Fourth Age: Total War article looked copied, was not written in the correct style, and had some major npov issues. --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 13:46, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

1. Perhaps a note before deletion might have given me a chance to make corrections? I had not taken a copy of the FATW article before it was removed and hope I have not lost it all. The article was not copied. I tried to follow the same format as the Third Age mod's article.

2. What is the criteria, then, for "singers"? Must they be associated with official products sanctioned by Tolkien rights holders?

Thanks.
