OK, I understand the applicability of WWI to Tolkien's life, but this seems like a slippery slope.  Will we start including more real-world events because of a Tolkien connection?  How about the Falklands War if one of Christopher's Tolkien kids fought there?  Where do we draw the line on the o-o-u stuff? --{{User:Theoden1/sig}} 19:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Out-of-Universe Materials

OK, I understand the applicability of WWI to Tolkien's life, but this seems like a slippery slope. Will we start including more real-world events because of a Tolkien connection? How about the Falklands War if one of Christopher's Tolkien kids fought there? Where do we draw the line on the o-o-u stuff? -- Theoden1  talk  contribs  edits  19:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
