Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material before the current action must be written in past tense.

Would anyone object if I moved this back to the more precise Middle-earth Men? Lower-case men refers to adult males of all species in Tolkien's work. It's a different word.
From the style guide (emphasis is mine):
"Capitalize the first word and any proper nouns in headings, but leave the rest (including ordinary nouns) lower case."
In Middle-earth, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Hobbits are all proper nouns. This is an important distinction. (If you don't believe me, ask the Witch-king.) --Aranel 19:39, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
