Please provide greater justification for your envisioning of Eonwe. It's a great image, but it needs justification from the text. It looks far too Christian and not Tolkien-based. As a long-time user of Wikipedia, I didn't find your image necessary or appropiate. That's the point. I have the right to do that. Others have the right to discuss it. Together, we create the encyclopedia.

Until someone can justify this angelic depiction of Eonwe, I don't think it's appropriate for the article. Please refer discussion to the talk page of the article instead of sending it to an unregistered user page that goes to an ip range. Not everyone in the range wants to read angry messages sent to the non-registered user. Also, you didn't post your username correctly when crediting the image to yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.206.112.92 (talk) 20:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

As I can't see the image to judge for myself, I am still curious though. What exactly justified it to "look" Christian? How exactly does artwork look like a religion? Maybe I missed that bit in art history, but the style you seem to refer to is the Renaissance painting style, which its many subjects surrounded around religion, which is probably where you are making the negative connotation that the painting "looks" Christian. Again, as I said, as I can't see the picture, I'm guessing that's what you've concluded.

Secondly, the artist made it clear on the Eonwe discussion page that Eonwe draws many parallels from Christianity and the Bible. In fact, a great majority of Tolkien's works do so. Maybe that's not something people want to hear, but the man was close friends with C.S. Lewis himself simply on the aspect to debate and argue about religion.

Thirdly, Wikipedia hurts enough with free image licensing and you turned down art work someone made? Do you even hear yourselves? 66.176.37.51 (talk) 02:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
