A few tips and tricks
Hello ApolloSage323, thanks a lot for adding the references to the articles about the kings of Gondor. As the reference section is a part of the article text though, it should always be placed directly below the main text, before the categories and the links to foreign language versions of the article. It's not really important for display but it helps other editors find the section in case they want to add something.

And it should have a section heading as well to stress out the word References. You can do that by adding  a pair of two equals signs to your heading or you highlight the word with your mouse cursor and then in the menu above the edit box you click Advanced >> Heading >> Level 2.

That said, I'd like to point you at our WikiProject Middle-earth, a group effort of various editors to improve and maintain all the articles related to JRRT, his universe and his other works. Happy editing, De728631 (talk) 17:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi De728631. Thanks for your comments. I'll make the changes you recommend. I'm not new to editing (though rusty at it), but I am new to trying to edit Wikipedia. I came across those articles and saw the Wiki threat that they'd be removed if they didn't have references, so I referenced away since I have Tolkien mostly memorized. I'd like to help out more, but have a lot of time limitations. Still, I'll see what I can do.
