establish our own peaceful kingdoms and drop out of the fight! But I digress...) I'm not sure how better to advertise those things. It's just that I was talking with a friend, and trying to explain the difference between the Houses, and they said the Harry Potter houses were cool and I said that LOTR had trait-oriented Houses too sort of. That is, Fingolfin = Gryffindor (noble), Feanor = Slytherin (ruthless and cunning), Finarfin = Hufflepuff (peaceful), and the Ravenclaws....actually have no direct equivalent. I guess the Sindar get stuck with that. Well have fun. --
295:, I might write this portion of a LOTR character's article in past tense. Featured articles about fictional characters also have a section(s) about concept and creation (how the director/actor decided to portray the character, costumes, make-up, etc.), and the character's role in popular culture and/or how well critics like their acting (occasionally—some articles don't have this section). Personally, I would write this portion as they did in 17: 1081: 777: 565:
Ooops, I'm sorry this is such a late reply. I've completely neglected Knowledge for the last couple days. What I meant was that—to me, anyway—your font appears to be a slightly larger version of the normal, everyday, standard writing font on Knowledge. There might be a some people who can see your

Wow, that was a very vague and generally non-committal answer. In fact, there's a very good chance that my "answer" is entirely incorrect. Quite frankly, I really disagree with this portion of the MoS and find it confusing. Trust me, I'm attempting to rewrite a few Star Wars characters' articles,

Hello :) I just thought I'd say thanks for creating the Tolkien Gateway infobox, it made my day. As much as I love TG I think at this point it is best to leave links to it as normal external links, I've gone ahead and modified the template for that. I also think I'm going to remove the template from

Now, go to "my preferences" (should be up near the top of your screen) and paste the code into the box that says "signature:". Once you've done that, make sure you check the box underneath that says "raw signature", then go down to the bottom and click "save". If you want to edit anything about it

Fonts. You could have your signature stay in the default font, or you could pick your own as I did. The easiest way to do this might be be to open a Microsoft Word document and pick some fonts or you could probably find a list of fonts somewhere on the internet. Pick a couple and rate them in the

It's great meeting someone who apparently (I'm judging by your edits and user name) loves LOTR as much as I do. I haven't edited many LOTR related articles in the past, but I'm hoping to change that eventually. Listen, if you ever need anything or have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk

Grrr. It would appear as though you just stumbled upon one of my greatest sources of confusion on Knowledge. Quite frankly, I know firsthand the confusion you're going through, and believe me when I say it's not just problematic for a new editor like you. I don't know how well I can answer this

What do you actually want your signature to look like? Do you want it to look like mine where your entire name links to your (currently nonexistent) userpage and have a little superscript "talk" link to your talk page? Do you want "Galadree" to link to said userpage and "-el" link to your talk

Thanks for using one of the LOTR Noldor House userboxes I came up with. I admit they're kind of amateur, but it got the ball rolling :) (Of course, I do serve the ruthlessly goal-oriented House Feanor and not the peacenik Finarfins: dude, we came to Middle-earth to *get the Silmarils*, not

font, though this is purely speculation. For example (and it's a rather poor one), some computers show Chinese characters, some don't. Mine doesn't. You might want to ask another user if their computer shows the Moonbeam font before you change it. It really might just be my problem.

I do like your new signature, especially the way the colors you chose fade into each other. Whatever font you chose doesn't show up on my computer, but then again, my laptop likes to do strange things. It's nice. Great job!

and I am finding it relatively challenging because of this. You would think, given that Star Wars took place "a long time ago," I would be allowed to write in past tense, but no, of course I'm not. Grrr.
