==About Me==
I am '''DoctorWellington''', a huge fan of Tolkien's works. I am very much a beginner to this website, and though I most likely have many accidental errors, I am trying my best to help. I am very interested in all of Tolkien's works, particularly [[The Lord of the Rings]] (In fact I have lost count of how many times I read it). I also enjoy maps (I like to study maps of all kind, fictional or otherwise), and [[languages]], mostly [[Quenya]] and [[Sindarin]] roots. Here is a link to my new [[User:DoctorWellington/Screenplay|screenplay]] for the Beren and Lúthien story!
==Username==
I suppose my username needs some explanation. I am not a doctor (a job I could never do, I am haemophobic) and my last name is not Wellington. I'm still not quite sure how I came up with it.
==To-do==
*Chapters (especially those of ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' and other works; I have finished ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'')
**Infoboxes: Add them
**Tense: Most chapters seem to have been written in present tense; rewrite in past (including ''[[The Hobbit]]'')
**Links: At various points links are forgotten or reoccur
*Dates: Add "other versions of the legendarium" with references to ''[[The Return of the Shadow]]'', et cetera.

{{quote|A fox passing through the wood on business of his own stopped several minutes and sniffed. 'Hobbits!' he thought. 'Well, what next?

He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.|Description of a fox encountering [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]], [[Samwise Gamgee|Samwise]], and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]] sleeping out of doors in ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', "[[Three is Company]]"}}
{{quote|Help now to repair the evil in which you have joined, and afterwards you shall take an oath never again to pass the Fords of Isen in arms, nor to march with the enemies of Men; and then you shall go free back to your land.
