Tolkien edits[edit]

I'm not actually following you around; you are simply editing articles on my watchlist. And I'm not trying to discourage you; I'm reverting them because you are adding interpretations that are not in the text. -- Elphion (talk) 23:30, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know it's an oath and not a prophecy? -- Elphion (talk) 23:55, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because in Tolkein's translation he writes that the new king after being crowned vows: "Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world." It is also referenced elsewhere in Tolkien's book that when a king comes to power he takes an oath.

Where elsewhere? And where is "vows" used?. -- Elphion (talk) 20:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is also sung in the movie "Return of the Kings" by King Elessar and the song is known as "Elendil's Oath". Pritivarma1985 (talk) 21:05, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The movie is not the book. Your interpretation is certainly a possible one, but the book says "spoke" not "vowed". You need references to show that Tolkien intended an oath. -- Elphion (talk) 21:08, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will try and cite my source. Thank you...I am learning the ropes. Pritivarma1985 (talk) 21:23, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's my reason for writing. A minor rope: indent each comment from the previous one by adding another colon (:) to the initial string. (I've added one for you above.) If the indentation level gets too excessive, "outdent" back to the left margin. I've also added a "welcome" template above; it several links you may find useful. -- Elphion (talk) 21:43, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to South Sudanese conflict (2013–2014) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
