Taking a look in a few hours...you know the drill....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:34, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks again. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:34, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Most, but not entirely all, of the Middle-earth narrative section is written in the present tense...my preference would be to put it all in past tense.
  • Ah, that one. It was once intensely controversial. I *think* the policy is to have the LOTR narrative in the present tense, in which case the 2nd age should be past tense...
    • Yeah I think we should past-ify it...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:07, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Done.
• Does Tolkien nowhere give any approximate dates for events in the second age...?
  • LOTR Appendix B, "The Tale of Years", "The Second Age". Copiously. If you don't have the book to hand, Tolkien Gateway lists the main points.
    • Second age is over 3000 years long, so some dates (even approximate) would be good....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:07, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd thought we'd struggle with sources but the games certainly tipped that one. And the new series will turn him into a whole new character, probably! Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:35, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
