I herad his wholoe name was finwe golodh finwe, hence fin-gol-fin


 * I'm pretty sure this is wildly inaccurate, and that Fingolfin is just a very stylistic Sindarin rendering of Nolofinwë. Therefore I changed this in the article. However, I'm not sure if Nolofinwë should have a tilde over the N or not; I was never quite clear on Tolkien's last words on this. I've left the "N" off for now. --Toastedcheese 21:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Quenya Finwë Ñolofinwë > Sindarin Fingolgin and Quenya Finwë Arafinwë > Sindarin Finarfin are attested in PoME, The Shibboleth of Fëanor. --CBD 23:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't see why the family-tree line of the half-elven is used. I think that that the family-tree the house of Fingolfin which was used until April 2005 fits here much better. Line of the half-elven only gives one of his four sons and does not include Finarfin his brother. -- Galadh 09:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

fingolfin rocks! he was the coolest of the elfkings and he sliced up morgoth's foot! go fin go217.83.126.231 (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

He did more then slice up Morgoth's foot. He lamed it. Not just that, he also wounded Morgoth with seven blows that I'd say would have been fatal to just about anything else short of the other Valar. Yeah, Fingolfin has my vote for being the greatest of the Elf-Kings. Perhaps not the greatest Elf-King, but he was the greatest of them, if that makes sense. Kind of cool that the Eagles intervened to save his body, too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.89.69 (talk) 15:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Gildor is the coolest Elfen king, he saved Frodo from the black Riders and gave them the special food and drink. So he saves all of Middle Earth! I also think it says he fought the Lord ofg the Nazgol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.141.100 (talk) 07:16, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Gildor is not a king. Also where does it say he fought the Nazgul? Carl Sixsmith (talk) 11:14, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
