Forums:How to handle Nature of Middle Earth
There are two questions I think we need to answer about the Nature of Middle Earth.
How to handle chapters
Several chapters in this book are incredibly small (1-3 pages) or are extracts from other works (such as Statute of Finwe), or have been published in other places such as Vinywar Tengwar. LorenzoCB and myself discussed this elsewhere, and it seems that the best way to handle it was to maybe have articles on the new manuscripts. As for extracts or works published in other formats, I guess the best way to handle it would be to update the relevant articles saying that they have now been published in NoME as well as their original sources. Some kind of navigational template would be nice, but the one I tried to make ended up far too big for its own good.
Information
There are quite a few things in NoME that have a status similar to that of the Round World version of the Silmarillion. Things such as Aman no longer being a physical place but some kind of state of memory. These things are potentially ground breaking, but since they were introduced so late into the Legendarium, they can often contradict earlier, published works. Right now it is entirely up to the editor to decide to put facts such as the Eagles being Maiar into the "History" section, or to consign it to the "Other Versions of the Legendarium" section.
