==About Me==
==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 this Tolkien resource. I have read [[The Lord of the Rings]] many times (in fact I've lost count how many times), and also [[The Hobbit]] quite a few times. I have just started reading [[The Silmarillion]], because that era interests me and I don't know enough about it. I'm still working on my British English as I have lived in the United States all my life. I am very interested in Tolkien's [[languages]], particularly [[Quenya]] and [[Sindarin]] roots, as well as maps (I'm a huge fan of all things geography), and timelines. One of my plans for the future of this site is a comprehensive timeline for those who, like me, wish to see it "all plain and clear" as Bilbo puts it.

When I'm not on this site, I like to learn about world history and look at maps. I also like studying languages (I'm learning French, Italian, and Spanish), as well as reading and rereading Tolkien's works.

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.
