User:Astraflame/Tolkien Disregarded Sources
Appearance
![]() | This is not a Wikipedia article: This is a workpage, a collection of material and work in progress that may or may not be incorporated into an article. It should not necessarily be considered factual or authoritative. |
All of these sources are reputable, but seemed unnecessary to me for re-writing an article on The Lord of the Rings. Some may need to be salvaged for other articles and will eventually be re-added to the main bibliography, particularly the works on The Silmarillion as I was unable to be consistent about which one of these I left out.
