About me

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

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.

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
• Adding infoboxes and images, where I can, to actors and actresses
• Games- not as scholarly, as say, pronounced articles[1], but I help where I can.

My Library

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[2]. And I will add to this also, a list of video games of which I've worn the discs out of.
