Did you know that Tolkien never said that the Orocarni were inhabited by the four eastern clans of the Dwarves? Based on what Tolkien Gateway once said on this subject (across many articles), I used to think he must have said that at some point. I didn't realize the truth until I got my hands on The History of Middle-earth series and confirmed for myself that he never did. This is but one example of something I've personally removed from this website (and many other editors have removed far more fancruft that I have!).

Please don't add fanon to Tolkien Gateway. There's enough complexity and beauty in Tolkien's work to fill volumes without personal additions from us editors.
