Dwarf
"Dwarf" is a very large subject, and I'm sure there's major missing sections. It would be very useful to know what's left out (especially mythology), any innaccuracies, and to make sure that all notable fantasy series with dwarves of interest are included, whilst pruning any non-notable ones.

Please help find out what's left to do, so it can be done, and help get a consensus on what fantasy series and games count as notable enough to go into the main article, and which should be shunted off into sub-articles. Adam Cuerden 16:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The chronology skips from Norse mythology to Tolkien: how about intervening folklore and literature? I'm not sure whether Rumpelstiltskin counts - but there's Snow White etc. Somehow I have a hunch that the Internet's many geeks will help you complete the gaming references. What you do need is citations. I also suggest requesting an original translation for the long quote - modern Icelandic is very close to old Norse so perhaps you could direct your request there. At Geoffrey Chaucer and Joan of Arc I did my own translations: wish I could help you with this one. Hope these suggestions help. Durova 05:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Good point. We are rather fairy-tale light. I'll see what I can do. Adam Cuerden 11:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
