ORish real-world comparisons in Middle-earth articles

Many thanks for chopping a piece of dross from Mordor. You might like to look at Mirkwood for the same issue, complete with disruptive editor. All help appreciated. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:06, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi, any help rather than deletion would be greatly received. Other similar car dealerships have a presence on Wikipedia, so it would be great if you can assist me in any way. Thanks again. Scr81 (talk) 15:12, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

For the article to remain it needs to be notable beyond existing and press releases. WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a reason for keeping an article. Lava Lamps (talk) 16:35, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Morgoth & Sauron articles

Hello there! I want to ask you... how should I put it... kindly to a fellow editor....could you give me a good reason why did you cut the content I added to the articles? I am getting pretty tired of having fellow editors...like you... undoing things I added to articles... so much that I don't think I'm going to continue editing on wikis such as this, where it is clear that the work of some people can easily be cast aside... just press undo and it's all gone isn't it? But I am already speaking to much so I'll get back to the point: why did you simply delete my contributions to those articles instead of helping out? It's easier for you isn't it... to simply cut it out, I guess. Do you know the time it took me to search that quote on the Sauron article in Morgoth's Ring or do you think I have a book which opens up whenever I want it, exactly when I want it, where I want it in a matter of seconds? I am really curious if you think I don't have to read the page a bit when looking for the correct paragraph. Or perhaps time for me goes ... I don't know... like in Narnia: an hour of yours is a second for me. But I guess you simply don't care. Too much time to think for you perhaps instead of acting. I want no quarrel with you, I am hardly in for this sort of pettiness, I am simply pointing out some things and asking for a good reason, not one of those like: "Because I can" or something around these lines, it would be a waste of both our times. Sorry for taking so much of your... valuable space on your talk page for the message, but I am not going to simply have you undo edits if I ever continue on Wikipedia and I hope that's clear. I like being honest and I have expressed my feelings. Whether you choose to answer me or not, your option, but I'd appreciate it if you even considered it, though I doubt it.

Thank you very much for taking those precious minutes of your time. I won't ask you why you did not wait a bit for me to add the sources after or why you didn't add them yourself if you're so better than me... I honestly don't care for your motivations. I am no longer editing, feel free to do whatever you want. As for Morgoth being the source of all evil it is debatable: Ungoliant was an evil independent of him and Sauron joined not out of devotion, but because he desired to learn Morgoth's apparent power to obtain what he wanted (he betrayed the Valar, he did not return to Morgoth upon his defeat by Huan and Luthien, after Morgoth's fall he supplanted him as Dark Lord with his own goal, he presented himself as an emissary of the Valar to the Elven smiths and of Morgoth to the Numenoreans because he could not propound himself as their Lord at those respective points; he did the bidding of Morgoth for as long as it was needed to undermine the Valar). But I stop here. A nice time and all other parting sayings!The Ring-forger (talk) 16:15, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Why do you bother with another message, wasting both of our times? The subject was already closed. If you felt it was not, let me close it here for you. Morgoth is not an adaptation of the Devil. Both Morgoth and Sauron are together, two sides of the same coin. J.R.R. Tolkien said that Sauron was more successful than Morgoth as a Dark Lord, while Morgoth in his prime was more potent than Sauron. The only valid point you made is Morgoth started the Satanic rebellion. But not all evil stemms from him. Ungoliant as I said was independent of him and Sauron was an ally/servant out of convenience. Morgoth did not command all evil. He was just a primordial source of it, like Ungolinat was to a lesser degree. But as we both pointed out... you don't care for other people's opinions. You are one-man wiki, congratulations! Subject closed. The Ring-forger (talk) 09:42, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Eporner.com

Hello Lava Lamps. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Eporner.com, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I think there's enough here to pass A7 even if it's mainly coverage of where it's been blocked, it's still coverage. Needs to go to AfD. Thank you. GedUK  07:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

"That fan art is terrible"

................That's a bit arrogant to write, isn't it? I don't understand why there can't be a picture of The Dark Lord. Without it, it makes the article more boring IMO. --Jesper Egelund (talk) 17:52, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
