Who I am
I'm a 21 year old Dutch student. I'm from Groningen, way up North. I've been using the name Ederchil for a couple of years now. It's a rough translation of my first name, Olof. All google-hits on Ederchil except the LOTRO one are me. I'm a linguophile, mostly interested in the minor languages. My Quenya is no more than anecdotal. There's too much written on that tongue already.
I'm citizen #6454 at MinasTirith.com, and part-time translator on [www.realelvish.net Merin Essi ar Quenteli].

- An article on the Elvish words for Dwarf and the use of them.
Split up RGEO in book and song, dab the links and expand the book article.
Write an article on Robert Irelands A Tolkien Dictionary. Already there.
- Clean all articles of references to above to replace them with attested ones.
- Write an article about, and use the information of, Ondonórë Nomesseron Minaþúrië.
Write articles about Barbara Strachey (no info available) and William Elvin.

DVD's
I've ceremonially burned my copy of The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth by Ruth S. Noel and recommend everyone would do the same. It's outdated an in no way authoritative.
