Gothmog?[]
Should the link to Gothmog on this page really lead to an orc general? There should be a disambiguation page for Gothog(balrog) and Gothmog(Orc) Shouldnt the title be singular?
- No, it shouldn't lead to the orc, all we need is a different link. The title is fine the way it is, in my opinion, because it refers to all of the maiar, not just one of them. Oh, and try to use correct English. Gamma Metroid 22:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Creation[]
It is unclear in the article when the Maiar came down to help. I don't know all or I'd edit it. My impression is that some were created before the Earth, but others in the third age, like Gandalf. G36h7qbywu (talk) 00:10, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Question about the Article claims[]
One of the last sentences on the page talks about how Maiar can teleport? It also doesn't list a source. This should be changed asap.
Ungoliant???[]
There is a statement that claims, with a relatively high degree of "certainty" in the tone of the writing, that Ungoliant was originally fallen Maiar. This is very clearly *not* stated in the Silmarillion. Indeed: The statements in the Silmarillion explicitly delineat the "unknown" nature of Ungoliant, and lay the hypothetical as some unnamed spirit from the Void, presumably one that was like the proto-Valar but did not in any way participate or become involved with the topics in the legendarium, presumably having been discovered in secret during Melkor's noted wanderings (As he sought to find/discover the location of the Flame Imperishable, and during which he found many secret things). Its unclear if this is simply a mistake or if some prior article editor maintains this as a sincere thesis (which, arguably, is extremely weak or downright false). its wrong or so misleading that it requires extensive rewrite, if not simply being nearly or fully erased.
