Unfortunately, your Land of rohan article (at least, I assume that you've adopted a user account after starting it) likely falls astray of Pillar #1 -- namely, that Wikipedia strives to maintain encyclopedic standards. While we can be far more expansive than a paper encyclopedia (take, for example, the vast amount of Tolkien content here), an online forum about Tolkien with no noteability of its own doesn't really rate an article. By way of comparison, "noteability" in this case would likely mean that Christopher Tolkien or Peter Jackson frequent the forum.

However, be bold! There's nothing wrong with creating something that's subsequently removed; it's part of the learning process. Enjoy your stay, and feel free to contact me on my Talk page. Lomn | Talk 22:23:14, 2005-08-16 (UTC)
