Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth/Pages

message: The list at Portal:Middle-earth/Pages (as of 20/01/2007) has 3115 entries. The list here has 1332 entries. Intersecting these lists can come later. Carcharoth 05:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are 1161 pages on both lists, around 170 only on the category list, and 1954 only on the portal list. There is one repeat on the portal list: Húrin I. The 170 pages that are on the category list, but not on the portal list, are lots of actors, but also some genuine Tolkien-related articles that probably should be on the portal list. See below.

thread_title:  Statistics 

message: Well, maybe not the actor articles. But some of the others should be added. A quick scan down the list reveals that MAngband got missed, though you did have ZAngband. Don't know how the portal list missed Magic (Middle-earth) and List of Middle-earth Dwarves, but those have to be in there. Carcharoth 05:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Articles to add to the list 

message: The following are subdivisions of the above list of around 170 articles not yet on the main Portal list. The subdivisions are intended to help clarify where to draw the line on what to include in a "Related Changes" page for WikiProject Middle-earth. Carcharoth 15:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: After Tolkien

message: Some large groups of missing stuff include the images at Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Images, though that is a good record in itself. I also found a category of images at :Category:The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game Images. Carcharoth 12:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing stuff 

message: I have just removed several entries from the list since they had little connection to Tolkien/his works/fandom etc. but were constantly present on the recent changes page (notably Led Zepellin, which is even listed on Special:Mostrevisions.) Moreover, I generally support the notion proposed above to remove similar links: for example, Orlando Bloom or Christopher Lee articles, though certainly more important to the WikiProject than some redirects, already contain all relevant information, so we naturally do not need to watch them (there are other Projects that do this). The same goes for people who had dubbed a single role in an animated movie and for 'influenced' bands. Súrendil 20:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Remove them, sure, but maybe set up a subsidiary list for "peripheral" stuff. It is worth keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't get Tolkien and Middle-earth stuff wrong. I'd add in here anything that links to J. R. R. Tolkien, his works, or Middle-earth, but isn't within the scope of the WikiProject. Carcharoth 23:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
