message: Does nobody think this article needs some kind of mention on how she is the literary equivalent / trope of the 'Mary Sue'? Paradoxelrath (talk) 18:14, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: The Original [[Mary Sue]]

message: Someone has infused elements of modern vampire stories with the overview of Tolkien's work. Someone with knowledge of the story needs to edit this work out.

message: Can't quite figure out what this is supposed to mean: "As all the Telerin she was not very high, the corporature was quite minute." Anyone know what was intended, so it can reworked into somewhat more standard English?  Is this just a really verbose way of saying she was short? 128.164.108.6 (talk) 18:55, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  A Bit Confused  

message: Where does this number come from? According to this (though the source isn't cited), the Sun was created in YT 1500, so if that year is immediately followed by FA 1, it would make Luthien 803-804 years old at time of death in FA 503. - Sikon (talk) 16:26, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

message: For the infobox, it says that Lúthien appears in The Silmarillion and Beren and Lúthien. Shouldn't it also say that Lúthien appears in The Lay of Lethian and LOTR?

thread_title:  Infobox Info 

message: The article currently features a painting “Lúthien pleading with Mandos. Art by Gregor Roffalski”. This is fan-art, the painter was just a guy active on a Tolkien fan site and uploaded it there. Is fan art really appropriate for a Wikipedia article? The other painting shown on the article, by Ted Nasmith, is at least work by someone historically connect to Tolkien’s publisher. 83.31.195.15 (talk) 08:40, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's allowed as long as the work is appropriate, which this image is, and contributes to the article, which it does. It also quietly acknowledges that the Silmarillion has a readership, not a bad thing for an encyclopedia to do. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

message: "someone imprisoned in darkness" necessarily precedes "a powerful and evil jailor"? —Tamfang (talk) 22:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Picky. I suppose these could theoretically be marked somehow differently, but frankly whatever the syntax might be it isn't worth it. The scholar is right in a literary way that there us a general order in the set, and it's definitely getting ORish to argue otherwise. Let's not go there.
