Tolkien Gateway:Original research

"...there is much else that may be told." — Glóin This article or section is a stub. Please help Tolkien Gateway by expanding it.

Original research refers to claims in articles for which no published source exists. While editors on Tolkien Gateway foremostly are encouraged to cite sources for claims in articles (see Help:References), a limited amount of original research may be used:

• when an unreferenced claim has a clear scholarly value for the subject in question
• when an unreferenced claim is especially useful or interesting for the subject in question

If original research is added to or found in an article, the material should be followed by the insertion of {{Or}}.
