replies: text: Given that the only notability the character has is as the "fangirl phenomenon" 'Figwit', this is the right place. 'Elf Escort' would refer to any of the escorts, including the non-Figwit unnamed Elves. If the fen would not be so obsessed about the character, no article would be needed.

message: I gave myself the Extended Edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King for Christmas, and Peter Jackson himself mentions the Figwit phenomenon in his commentary. --Phil | Talk 09:49, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
:Cool, whereabouts? I assume during the "Arwen to the beach" scene…. I mentioned it in the article. Jordi·✆ 09:57, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Figwit is official 

message: I read that sentence - "Frodo is great...who is that?" - again and again, and I just couldn't make any sense of it. It's just two disjointed sentences. Then I checked out the original fan site, where the orthography is: "Frodo is grea...who is THAT?!?" This made it clear immediately: a train of thought is interrupted as the spectator's attention is attracted elsewhere on the screen. It makes all the difference in the world!
Presumably some journalist who didn't get it has misrepresented the sentence in an article, and then the error has been perpetuated by lazy cut-and-paste journalism. Even the documentary film makers got it wrong! Anyway, I changed the writing in the article, and referenced it to the original source. Fan sites may not generally be considered reliable sources, but it's different when that was where the phrase actually originated. Lampman (talk) 11:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I figured it would be more clear without dropping the letters and using unnecessary capitals, but I see your point, so it's fine. Mr. Absurd (talk) 14:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Actual phrase 

message: In the audio commentary and bonus material for "An Unexpected Journey" Peter Jackson makes it clear that Findir from The Hobbit (movie) is to be treated as the same character as Figwit from LOTR (movie). Figwit was an unofficial nickname and never appeared in the credits, so they decided to give him a proper canonical name for The Hobbit. This practice of retcon is well known of. I would fix the article myself, but it seems to be a status one. Anything in particular I should know? If not, I'll edit it anyway. 5.164.149.157 (talk) 23:16, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Same as Lindir
