I don't think the bit about the spelling differences in various editions of LOTR is correct. In my old Ballantine paperback and in my second edition hardcover it's spelled "Caras Galadon". I don't know when the spelling change happened, though. I'll have to look into it... JBHemlock (talk) 17:56, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

In reference to the ship that took the ring bearers to Valinor being the last one, doesn't Cirdan actually leave Middle Earth much later in the Fourth Age? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.125.251.25 (talk) 07:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Daro!
The section 'Architecture' states "every space available had to be used". Is anyone aware of the basis for this? I thought the Elves merely preferred to live in the trees.

The section also states that Caras Galadhon was "lit by green flames". Although the city "climb[ed] up like a green cloud" (which I had assumed referred to the foliage), it was described in LotR as lit by "lights ... [like] stars ... lamps ... silver lamps". BTW I propose to add ladders to the stairs.

Finally it's stated that construction occurred "inside" trees. I think this should read "in": "inside" a tree is what happened to Merry & Pippin. Cheers 111.220.230.229 (talk) 05:21, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

P.S. The lamps of the city were also described as "countless lights ... green and gold and silver." 111.220.230.229 (talk) 05:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
