Welcome!

I noticed you working on Middle-earth articles. Great! Welcome! We always need more great editors. If you're looking for something to do, you might start by taking a look at Category:Tolkien stubs and see if there are articles you can expand and/or merge with existing articles. (Sometimes just a redirect is enough. They're starting to be about awfully minor topics.)

Probably the most helpful article for learning how to edit Tolkien articles is Middle-earth canon, which outlines the policy we try to use. This is, as far as I know, one of the only places to seriously attempt to incorporate corrections from History of Middle-earth into information from the Silmarillion, etc. My general rule of thumb is to do the best you can to be accurate, and be sure to read the relevant articles when you edit because there's a good chance that if there is a discrepancy, someone else has already noted it. However, none of us can possibly keep track of everything at the same time, so do the best you can, and be ready to document your sources.

You will get an idea of conventions as you go. There aren't a lot of absolute rules, but there are some things that we try to do consistently to make it easier for readers (and editors). One helpful thing is to use List of Middle-earth articles to keep track of edits to Middle-earth articles and talk pages. (Use the "related changes" link on that page.) Also, if you're not sure what to do (or why someone who seems to know what they are doing did something that seems odd to you), please ask questions! Again, welcome!

Page name for temperature articles

To avoid flip-flopping between 'degree Fahrenheit' and 'Fahrenheit' or 'degree Celsius' and 'Celsius', I propose that we have a discussion on which we want. I see you have contributed on units of measurement, please express your opinion at Talk:Units of measurement. Thanks. bobblewik 22:09, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

If there is a specific instance of vandalsim you would like to cite, please do so without breaking WP:CIVIL Civility. Also, please read the editing guides (External links use one bracket.)-- Chris Ccool2ax contrib. 21:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link repair

Sorry, but I am not understanding the problem. Which link needs dismbiuation link repair? In general, one chooses the link most representing the word you mean. For example, "industry" has several choices, but in this case (in your Urban planning section) it points to the correct usage. If it did not, you would pick a better choice out of the uses offered on the Disambiguation page.

Does that help?
