New User - Some Questions
Hello! I have used this site for a long time as a reader, but finally made an account as I believe I have at least one thing to contribute. Additionally, the monthly drawing for a Donato Giancola piece pushed me over the edge. However, I see that to be considered for the drawing, one must contribute something "of value". I believe I can do this by providing a summary/overview, to the extent that is appropriate, of Tolkien's obscure work, The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf, which I have translated back into English from its German-only publication. Additionally, I have had a German individual and a professor who speaks German examine my translation to verify its accuracy in meaning (though of course we don't know how Tolkien's original English read). Can an administrator please let me know the extent to which something like this would be accepted? Thank you! MimEnjoyer (talk) 01:20, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- It's great to meet you MimEnjoyer and thanks so much for your feedback! This giveaway seems to have been a hit so we definitely plan on having more. In answer to your question, that would definitely be accepted. We had to insert a phrase like that out of concern someone would just add a space to the end of an article. In our opinion, even fixing a spelling mistake would be of value to us. :) We hope to see you around more, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or feedback.

- Thank you! I have added a synopsis to the page for The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf. MimEnjoyer (talk) 02:55, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
