final warning to T

:As for "trying to score ideological points", I truthfully do not know what you mean. Misogyny? That I say Éowyn is better than everyone else? That she is stupid? I do not think she is, nor that she is more than the other characters. But objectively she ''was'' hopeless, and she ''did'' leave her post, and then she went on and did great deeds. And subjectively she was absolutely awesome and lovely doing so.<br>

:When I added to the article I just intended for an objective overview of life pre-, during, and post-War; and during the War the waypoints of her being appointed leader in Dunharrow, disguising as Dernhelm, and slaying the Witch-king, although I did not (yet) add the issue of her crushing on Aragorn, as I feared it getting to long. I hope I understood the objections you made, and cleared my intentions. Perhaps if one added the quotes as references they would not be misunderstood, and her doings during the War could be restored. ~ [[User:Tolkiendil|Tolkiendil]] 18:01, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

There is a difference between:
 +
*she was given leadership of her people when the King went to war
 +
and
 +
*she was given '''temporary''' leadership ... '''while''' the King went to war
 +
 +
The following phrases are misleading:
 +
#she was given leadership - implies a permanent position
 +
#her people - implies absolute power, rather than a regency
 +
#when (instead of while) - bolsters 1 and 2 by provide a date of the "transfer of power"
 +
 +
You need to accept corrections like this gracefully, instead of spouting tons of verbiage that look like protests. Otherwise you won't enjoy working here.

I've read LOTR 8 times, I'm a sysop. Please follow my editorial direction and stop complaining. Or find another project. Last warning. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 10:51, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
