Mumriken is still gossiping in the Green Dragon.
Then you don't have to edit the wikipedia article.

In my opinion Sauron's masquerading as Morgoth more comes across as potentially "blasphemous" (although I realise we are talking about the bad guy here) than a show of loyalty. If he was so loyal to Morgoth would he be pretending to be Morgoth? Wouldn't he have just kept claiming to be his representative? I guess that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but it doesn't seem like Sauron did any of these things because he thought Morgoth would approve. That's what matters - what did Sauron think about what he was doing? Did he consider it a tribute to Morgoth or did he now only care about himself?
As I said Sauron was no slave under Morgoth, and what point would there be in preaching about Morgoth if he was chained outside the world unable to return? I think you have a very narrow view on how to be loyal towards someone. Anyway I'm not going to keep babbling on about this, I have already said what there is to say and it doesn't seem to sink through. We have to agree to disagree...
