Felagund Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Well hello I have been a reader of the books for a long time, and been around on a couple of other Tolkien boards. I'm joining this board primarily from a Tolkien Books angle, though the varying interpretations of them are fascinating. I'm looking forward to reading and posting .I'm British, into reading, travel, with a background in science ... and not a geek in any shape or form, just in case that thought was crossing your mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felagund Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hello again! I'll be contributing to Ardaquenta, our Tolkien Wikipedia. I think it is a worthwhile project, though to be honest there are already several fine Tolkien reference sites on the web (as well as a whole host of unreliable ones, of course). I would say that foremost among the good ones are:The Encyclopedia of Ardahttp://www.glyphweb.com/arda/The Tolkien Meta-FAQhttp://tolkien.slimy.com/Ardalambion http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/Link 1 is quite comprehensive, but terse and occasionally inaccurate, and doesn't cite sources or allow user feedback; link 2 has a relativey narrow focus; link 3 even moreso. But there are also actual Tolkien wiki projects on the web too, some of them quite advanced, eg. So are we just trying to reinvent the wheel in having a Tolkien wiki here? Possibly ... but this is ours .. and we can make it better . And the process can be an end in itself, I reckon. Speaking for myself, I will certainly learn more by adding to a Tolkien wiki, rather than by merely having access to one.I intend to start adding items to Ardaquenta as and when I can. The nature of the format is that anyone else can do the same of course and edit other people's entries (so do so please!). All our entries will be subject to peer review, and egos will be submerged in the collective effort of bringing us as close to the truth of Tolkien's Middle-earth as we can be.

Red_08 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hey welcome Jon!I have never seen or read LotR materials (since my parents don't want me to) so I guess you'll have to enjoy it for both of us when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldandil Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 That is really sad, Red. You should try biking to a library every weekend, or going to your school library for an hour every day, and read it that way.Hello Felagund,This may sound like a strange question, but did you used to be a member of a certain Tolkien mailing list? I'm pretty certain there was a former member in the archives with the names "Felagund" and "Jon". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno Ellen, I really don't think we should be encouraging members to go behind their parents backs and disobeying them. Anyway, welcome to the forums Felagund!

Aldandil Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I think its far, far worse to encourage censorship. The only reason I can think of to ban a book is to destroy political dissent, or because "fantasy books are from the Devil." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
