Entry: Gnomon Under Construction - Elrond the Half-Elven - A2621765
Author: Gnomon - Taking a Break - U151503

Opinions, please. Too long? Boring? You want more details?

I suppose I'd better take the "Under Construction" out of the title.

Looks fine to me. Maybe a little harsh on Hugo Weaving, but I'm sure he'll cope.

Excellent! The only thing I would say is that you don't seem to cater for those of us who picture Elrond from the classic animated film (where he is played by André Morell in what I think was his last role before he died) or here the voice (apparently Hugh Dickson?) from the classic radio series? Can we at least have a link to A655508?

This is the animated Lord of the Rings version of Elrond:

and this is how he looked in the animated Hobbit:

I'll see if I can work these images into the Entry somehow.

OK, I've added a short list in the "What did Elrond look like?" section mentioning both the animated 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' with links to both those pictures and to the entry Bluebottle mentioned.

There are a few other related articles that this could link to, either in the text or possibly one or two in references:

A1002754 - 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' (2002) - Film Review
A724961 - The Major Villains of 'The Lord of the Rings'
A2903726 - Aragorn - A Character from 'The Lord of the Rings'
A672022 - The Life and Works of JRR Tolkien
A27371469 - Tolkien's Mystery Element: Where True Powers Dwelt
A2757846 - Tolkien's Silmarillion - An Overview
A193961 - Hobbits

Other than that, I think this is ready.

Good work and interesting a lot of time and effort went into this and it shows

As previously stated, it looks ready to go

I'll add those links next week when I'm home, if it's not picked by then. The sun can do it otherwise. I'm not going to attempt it on my mobile phone.

While I have great faith in Ra the sun god, he's not noted for his editing abilities. I meant the sub.

*roars laughing*

Thank you! I enjoyed that!

It's not Ra, everyone on Middle knows that the Sun is really Anar the Fire-golden, fruit of Laurelin the Gold Tree of Valinor.

Like Samwise, I called my daughter after the sun-star of Lorien, so I don't need to be told about Tolkien's sun, thank you very much.

I've added those links.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Thank you.

Congratulations!

Well done, Gnomon!
