I decided to wait a few days before responding to any of the threads. I've read all your comments, and would like to briefly respond.
- I am not opposed to Quenya articles in Wikibooks, but how does one even
go about *that*?
I'm not sure it would be allowed on the English Wikibooks.
- The Tengwar do not need to be used: Tengwar and Quenya are independent of
one another-- Tengwar is simply the type of script, and is not part of the language itself. So any objections to Quenya based on problems associated with Tengwar are easily solved by using the Roman alphabet, as many Quenya speakers already do.
I don't believe there were any actual objections on the basis of the Tengwar.
- There seem to be two (very opposite!) objections to Quenya: one that it
would "never grow large", and the other that it would "take up too much valuable resource space". These two points of view seem quite contrary to me. Either it would take up too much space, or it wouldn't ever take up "enough" space. I don't see Quenya language on wikipedia growing huge. However, I think there is always too much focus on Wikipedia for largesse "We're currently working on 455,000 articles!". An encyclopedia doesn't have to have a million articles to *be* an encyclopedia!
There is IMHO not enough official Quenya vocabulary to create an encyclopedia. A Wiktionary would be OK, but a Wikipedia would have to use a lot of words made up by the fans - it's a bad idea for me.
