== About me == | |||
An average nerd, I have read all of the more well-known [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] works, though nobody told me about them until [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]] was getting made. I have thumbed through the [[The History of Middle-earth]] series, and am soon going to be adding them to my collection. I was a Star Wars fan first, but I like to think Tolkien's works are more scholarly, and spend much more time editing this encyclopedia then [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page| Wookieepedia], which is how I found this place. | |||
== My Name == | |||
Kind of pompous of me to discuss, I know, but I would like to get rid of any confusion. I started out with Quidon88, a conglomeration of my favorite Star Wars character [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Qui-gon_jinn| Qui-Gon Jinn], a segment of my true name Don, and my birth year, 1988. That name i chose many years ago, and I always felt satisfied with it. Now though, I feel it is a bit juvenile, and have since taken on the moniker of [[Ambartur]], the approximate translation of my true name into [[Quenya]]. | |||

== My Projects == | |||
As most of the grunt work has been completed by other more knowledgeable contributors, I tend to go things at random. But here is a list of things I've had a big impact on, I would say. | |||
*[[The Children of Húrin (audiobook)|The Children of Húrin Audiobook]] | |||
*Adding infoboxes and images, where I can, to actors and actresses | |||
* [[Games]]- not as scholarly, as say, pronounced articles[http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Category:Pronounced_articles], but I help where I can. | |||

Since this is a Tolkien encyclopedia, I will refrain from adding my extensive Star Wars library. Sorry, I dont have ISBN's of these, I guess Im just not as committed as others[http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/User:Hyarion/Collection/Books].

About me[edit | edit source]
An average nerd, I have read all of the more well-known Tolkien works, though nobody told me about them until The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was getting made. I have thumbed through the The History of Middle-earth series, and am soon going to be adding them to my collection. I was a Star Wars fan first, but I like to think Tolkien's works are more scholarly, and spend much more time editing this encyclopedia then Wookieepedia, which is how I found this place.
My Name[edit | edit source]
Kind of pompous of me to discuss, I know, but I would like to get rid of any confusion. I started out with Quidon88, a conglomeration of my favorite Star Wars character Qui-Gon Jinn, a segment of my true name Don, and my birth year, 1988. That name i chose many years ago, and I always felt satisfied with it. Now though, I feel it is a bit juvenile, and have since taken on the moniker of Ambartur, the approximate translation of my true name into Quenya.
