Uncited claims

Hi, and welcome. However, your Middle-earth additions are all uncited, and in the lead section. The lead is only a summary of the article, so it must not introduce anything new that is not in the text already. Claims made in the text, similarly, must be cited to a reliable source, like a scholarly journal article, the J.R.R. Tolkien Companion, or something equally solid: with author, title, page, publisher, and so on. As for the value of the otherwise obscure Westron names, I'm not sure we need them at all: but if we do, it must be as just explained, and in the article body. Personally, I'd not bother as it doesn't add anything of note. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:32, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou. My information was from the Appendices in Return of the King, definitely should have cited that. I included it because those are their in-universe names. MossW268 (talk) 17:11, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
