Looking over it, I don't see anything about where Tolkien got his ideas for elves from. I know there have been studies about this, showing that he drew on Celtic and other legends while creating this race. Wrad 21:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Good point. I know that originally Tolkien's elves were more like fairies from popular writings of the time, but later he came to distance his elves from those. It shouldn't be too hard to find sources for their development. Thanks. -- Davémon 07:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC) reply
