Welcome to The Lord of the Rings! We hope you can make continuing contributions of articles and/or discussion.

Please consider adding a "Babel" template (if you have not already done so) to your user-page so that others know which languages you are comfortable reading. (No template for Sindarin or Rohirric by mid-2005, but anyone "half-competent" can create them if keen.)

Do keep an eye on the "recent changes" page, where all edits and their authors (anonymous or signed-in) are listed. Bookmark it, maybe. (And please help delete spam - unpleasant but a fact of life.)

If you live in New Zealand ("Middle-earth"), you're invited to add your name to Category:New Zealanders contributing to this site by adding that to your User page (with double square brackets and no initial colon); but if your good fortune lies elsewhere, you can create a corresponding category for your country.

Discussion of any aspect of the site, and enquiries, can be made at Talk:Main_Page or on the "discussion" page associated with each article. If you sign and date your contributions on any talk page, readers know "who to talk to". If you edit a user's talk page, that user will get an alerting message on next visit.

(It would help some of us to know how you discovered this site.)

Enjoy!
