:Yes, I just looked up the page history of Wikipedia (if I'd looked here I would have saved some time!) and found that our article is a direct rip. We should discuss what should go on the new article tonight at the monthly meeting. --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 13:53, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

As it is February, we should start with working on the next article, The Hobbit. When I compared our article to articles on wikia and wikipedia, I noticed that our article was copied from wikia, which in fact seems to be a copy from this 2005 wikipedia article (which has been rewriten since). Therefore, we should rewrite this article. --Amroth 12:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
