Talk:Tom, Bert, and William

Error in infobox
Whoever added the infobox to this article set the "death" parameter to "unknown, possibly still alive". To my mind this was nonsense; only on the Discworld do trolls immobilised by sunlight become mobile again when the sun goes down, in Tolkein's canon (as in the folk tales on which it is based) trolls are turned to stone by sunlight and remain that way forever. (Discworld trolls are probably exempt because they're already stone, so all that sunlight does to them is to (temporarily) disrupt the superconductivity of their nervous systems.)

Indeed, the article goes on to say that the trolls were "destroyed" by sunlight, which doesn't sound like a temporary problem. And in the 8-bit game The Hobbit, mentioned in the article, if after the trolls turn to stone you type "FOLLOW TROLL", you get the error response "YOU CANNOT FOLLOW THE DEAD TROLL". — RobertATfm (talk) 12:26, August 4, 2013 (UTC)
