LOTR:Project Missing encyclopedic articles

This is a project for LOTR wiki users, based on the Wikiprojects at wikipedia, especially wikiproject missing encyclopedic articles. There are currently articles on wikipedia and other wikis and encyclopedia relating to Lord of the Rings and middle earth which are not yet on the Lord of the Rings wiki. This project will help create articles for them. Note that while Wikipedia entries can be copied with attribution, other encyclopedias such as the Encyclopedia of Arda must not be copied.

Wikipedia
There are several lists at Wikipedia for Middle-earth related articles. These have been copied to List of Middle-earth articles and List of Middle-earth characters. Help turn all these red links blue!

Guidelines for copying articles from Wikipedia to LOTR-Wiki

 * 1) Copy as much as possible.
 * 2) Do not just copy an article from Wikipedia and paste it on top of one of our articles. Adding a few words copied from Wikipedia may be OK, but if it is more than a few words you have to say exactly which Wikipedia page it came from.
 * 3) See LOTR: copying from Wikipedia.

Also check WikiProject Middle-earth/AfD which has information about Middle-earth related articles which are currently or were previously listed for possible deletion. Wikipedia's policy towards Middle-earth articles has been discussed here

Encyclopedia of Arda
The Encyclopedia of Arda has lists of middle earth articles. We should try to have an article for every article they have. Information must not be copied directly, since it is copyrighted (unlike Wikipedia) but the lists there (which claim to have nearly 5000 headings) can serve as a guide to creating articles. here is their list of most recently updated articles, and they say they have 3014 entries currently.

Tolkien Languages Wiki
As with the lord of the rings wiki, this content is GFDL and may be copied with attribution. They have 34 articles at the moment
