"It is ever so with the things that Men begin; there is a frost in Spring, or a blight in Summer, and they fail of their promise."

― Gimli, The Last Debate

Hi there! I'm Ederchil, a 23 year old student from Groningen, The Netherlands (don't you call that Holland). The name Ederchil - I've been using it for a couple of years now - is a rough translation of my first name, Olof - "descendant of forefathers". Currently, I'm busy on the real-world part of the site.

Ederchil namespace

• User:Ederchil/Sandbox - my personal sandbox
• User:Ederchil/Sandbox2 - because one was not enough
• User:Ederchil/Sandbox3 - because I should really finish any of the above two
• User:Ederchil/Templates - various test-templates
• User:Ederchil/Full cast - a (not so) full cast of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings. Outdated, unsourced and unformatted, thus unreliable.

To Do List

Stuff I'm planning to do, some day:

1. Finish J.R.R. Tolkien/temp
2. Improve Weathertop.
3. Create an Errata-list for The History of Middle-earth: Index

Improvement drive propositions

If we ever get it through, these would be high on my list. All nice articles that could become good or even featured.

• J.R.R. Tolkien/temp
• Rivendell
• Black Númenóreans
• Huor
• Wizards
• Battle of Dagorlad
• Elrond
• Hobbits
• Magic

Current plans

• Work on The Letters.
  • Summarize the letters: 22.3% (79 out of 354 done)
• Work on disambiguation pages.

• Create pages of parody episodes of television series:
  • "Duchess of Wails"
  • "Here Thar Be Dwarves"
  • "Beasts and Barbarians"
  • "Rome-Old and Julie-Eh"
  • "The Muppet Show in Ham's Deep"
