Welcome!
[edit]Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).
As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:
If you are not sure where to help out, you can find a task here:
- Please note that Influences on J. R. R. Tolkien is a top-level summary of an enormous subject, which is covered here in numerous subsidiary articles. The top-level article should only be extended if a whole aspect has been overlooked; where there's a subsidiary article, like Tolkien's modern sources, much more detail will be found down there, and more can be added and cited judiciously if needed. That is very unlikely to be by creating an uninformative list ("He was influenced by Tom, Dick, Harry, Mick, Jock, Frank, Steve, and Zebedee"), far more likely to be by discussing in a new paragraph how Zebedee influenced him, in what book, what Tolkien did with it, and citing suitable sources with page references. If Zebedee turns out to be really rather significant, then we might possibly consider adding a brief mention of him in the main 'Influences' article; it definitely isn't the place to begin.
Happy editing! Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:13, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
