- In the English Lord of the Rings, it's Andúril, with an acute accent. (Not that Tolkien is particularly consistent with his Sindarin long accents.)
- What do you want the tengwar to say? I am competent in English and Sindarin modes. I don't know Sindarin well enough to translate from English, but I'm sure there are reputable translations online. Aranel 02:06, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Well, that was fairly silly. As far as I can tell, Andúril and Narsil are more Quenya in form (I like and know Quenya better, anyway). I looked it up, and Lord of the Rings never provides the text. There are, however, quite distinctly, "seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun". Around them there were "runes", which usually suggests cirth rather than tengwar. I imagine part of the text might have been the name Andúril, which the movie folks apparently translated into Sindarin as Lach en Annûn ("Flame of the West"). They made up some text to put on it for the films (see [1]) and used cirth (but the language is indeed Quenya). You can see someone else's inscription here. Aranel 02:26, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Well I did my best to interpret the sword, but of course it is not perfect. Sincerely Geraldstiehler (talk)

Tolkien images
editI have listed a number of images you have uploaded for deletion as commons:Derivative works of copyrighted material. For example, Image:Bilbo_beutlin_by_bente_schlick.jpg (drawing of a character from a movie) and Image:Sauron.jpg (at the very least a derivative of the background you state was used, from http://crashcowboy.ashundar.com/planet.htm, which states " Yeah well about the copyright ... Everybody should feel free to use the images I made. That's what the World Wide Web is all about, huh ? It would be nice though if you would remember it was ME who made them. So don't use them in any commercial way, ok ? Alright, alright here we go : © copyright of all the images on this site: The Crash Cowboy !!!! So don't even THINK about looking at them....").

- OK, I didn't know this policy by the time I uploaded the pics. The artists agreed to the publishing, but I can understand that other rights where affected. Sincerey, Geraldstiehler (talk) (PS: Haven't been online for some time).
- As for the picture "tolkien_ring.jpg". The original Artist to render the background agreed to the use of his image. But as I don't have this email any more, I won't upload the picture again at the moment. Sincerely, Geraldstiehler (talk)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 startet in Kürze
editHallo Geraldstiehler,
in Kürze ist es wieder soweit. Der nun schon traditionelle Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments wird im September zum vierten Mal stattfinden. In ähnlicher Form hatte unlängst der Wettbewerb "Wiki Loves Earth" eine erfolgreiche Premiere. Zu allen bisherigen vier Wettbewerben haben seit 2011 gut 3000 unterschiedliche Teilnehmer (User) ihren Beitrag geleistet. Du warst dabei, und bist auch herzlich eingeladen, am bevorstehenden WLM-Wettbewerb wieder dabei zu sein.
Allein in Deutschland wurden in den letzten drei Jahren im Rahmen von WLM rund 100.000 Fotos zu den insgesamt ca. 850.000 Kulturdenkmalen bundesweit hochgeladen. Jährlich haben sich mehrere Hundert Wiki-Fotographen daran beteiligt. Auch im kommenden Denkmalmonat wird dies gewiss wieder der Fall sein. Der Tag des offenen Denkmals am 14. September bietet bundesweit vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Denkmale nicht nur von außen, sondern auch von innen zu fotografieren. Denkmallisten sind dabei ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt und zugleich auch Ziel der Einbindung der Fotos. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder neue Denkmallisten hinzugekommen, die hilfreich bei der Planung von individuellen oder Gruppen-Fototouren sind und auf eine Bebilderung warten, wie z.B. zu Görlitz oder Zittau. Unter den Landeshauptstädten fehlt nur noch Stuttgart. Aber auch hier ist Licht in Sicht.
In der Mitte Deutschlands hat die Denkmallandschaft der thüringischen Landeshauptstadt Erfurt nun das Licht der Wikipedia-Welt entdeckt. Mehr als 50 Tabellen enthalten 3.700 Denkmale. Allein die wunderschön restaurierte Altstadt umfasst 1.800 Denkmale. Eine von WMDE geförderte WLM-Fototour nach Erfurt am Wochenende vom 29. – 31. August lädt herzlich ein, diese einzigartige Kulturlandschaft zu dokumentieren. Mehr Informationen findest Du auf der Projektseite.
Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.
Viel Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.
( Bernd Gross, 16. August 2014)
Your account will be renamed
editHello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Geraldstiehler. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Geraldstiehler~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
