Orlando Bloom[edit]

Why don't you put picture? Patriciamontazaah (talk) 06:09, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's already a picture of Orlando Bloom in the article. Sierrak28 (talk) 06:12, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because this article is about Legolas. Blooms picture is in the portrayals section, because that’s what he did, he portrayed him. GimliDotNet (talk) 06:35, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weapon Photo[edit]

I think being a fan of the character, (specifically the Orlando Bloom movie portrayal) a big part of Legolas is his weapons, obviously from what I know from the movie he starts his journey with the fellowship using his Miirkwood bow, and then when in Lothlorian is gifted a bow of the Galadhrim by Galadriel. This is consistent with the books I believe so I'm curious as to the etiquette for posting pictures with copyrights and such as I would like to implement some pictures of bows into the article (and possibly the two silver daggers he uses in the film as well). Let me know.EliteArcher88 (talk) 00:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

1.

Isn't Elves a proper noun in Tolkien's writings? I think all instances of Elf, Elves, or Elvish should probably be capitalized then, although I may be wrong.

Done.

Hollin can be linked to the Geography of Middle-earth article.

Done.

"Legolas helped fend off an attack by Saruman's wolves" - Maybe this is a little crufty and nitpicky, but weren't they technically wargs?

Done, and linked.

Link the first instance of dwarf to Dwarf (Middle-earth)

Done.

Link Saruman at the first mention, not the second

Done.

I think Orcs should be capitalized, as it's technically a proper noun in-universe

Done.

Silvan Elves is a duplink

Fixed.

Nazgul is a duplink

Fixed.

Rivendell is a duplink

Fixed.

IMDB is user-generated and is not a reliable source

Replaced.

"Legolas is absent from the 1980 animated version of The Return of the King, but was voiced by David Collings in the 1981 BBC Radio 4 adaptation.[7]" - The bit about the 1980 film doesn't seem to be in the ref.

Removed.

Normally blogspot isn't a great ref, but the author, Brian Sibley, seems to be a well-qualified person, if Brian Sibley is the same person.

Yes, it's him, and he's authorlinked.

Ref 11 is flagging some sort of formatting error, not sure what the issue is.

Fixed.

The proper nouns in here would be: Elf, Elves, Elvish, any names, Dwarf (s), King, Queen (Followed by a name, otherwise it is not proper.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:8F0E:3A3F:20FE:A4D0:AB49:79BF (talk) 13:24, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Placing on hold, just a few issues to deal with. Good work. I've made a couple tweaks to the infobox, you might want to look over those. Hog Farm (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
