Walrus deletion
Hi GimliDotNet, You may not be familiar with the The Walrus (magazine), but it is a major magazine in my country, Canada. I find your total deletion of the sourced content, sourced to a major magazine, to be problematic. Do only US or UK mags qualify as notable? Your reversion of quality, sourced content will make people less likely to want to contribute to articles. OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 17:32, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the misspelling. I have some type of dyslexia regarding "ie" and "ei". I am pushing for inclusion because in my country The Walrus is viewed as a Canadian equivalent to Harpers. It is a notable, reliable source, and I am not including any of Ms. Landau's controversial views, merely her general comments on Tolkien and LOTR. I challenge you to cite a Wikipedia policy which makes my two snippets of Ms. Landau's review unacceptable. You are concerned with other comments she makes in her review. But what about the excerpts which I was trying to include? I would ask that you cite a Wikipedia policy grounds for not including her review excerpts.OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 22:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The Walrus is a serious magazine. It has had pieces by notable authors, including
 * Margaret Atwood
 * Edward Burtynsky
 * Leonard Cohen
 * Douglas Coupland
 * Pico Iyer

keep talk on LOTR talk page
Hi, You are telling me to keep the LOTR discussion on the LOTR page, but you brought it to my user page. You are not following your own directives :) .OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 12:39, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * My initial response to you was before I realised you'd started a duplicate topic on the talk page. GimliDotNet ( Speak to me,  Stuff I've done )  12:56, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Re: Big Brother
Given that it's a show rather than a biography, the project doesn't apply there, unless there's something I'm missing, but it seems pretty cut and dry to me. Wizardman 15:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Disruptive Edititing
I think you are being the disruptive editor here. Where is the evidence that "The Uruk-hai at the Battle of the Hornburg were unique in their lack of fear of the sun" and that this uniqueness was the result of Saruman "making further changes" to the Uruk breed? The fact that they were running on two legs is never said of Sauron's Uruks, yet are we to believe that his Uruks could not do this either? Sauron created the Olog-hai trolls, and they were resistant to sunlight "so long as his will was over them" so why would his Uruks not be? I am not going to say Sauron's Uruks definitely were resistant to sunlight...only that it is possible. It is not stated either way. Here is a quote from the LOTR Appendices showing that Tolkien saw no difference between both groups of Uruks - "Related [to the word 'Orc'], no doubt, was the word uruk of the Black Speech, though this was applied as a rule only to the great soldier-orcs that at this time issued from Mordor and Isengard." - Appendix F to TLotR ('Orcs and the Black Speech') — Preceding unsigned comment added by Transcendent28 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
