>>I doubt people deliberately make things up, actually, it's just that they tend to work from memory, or just guess when they're not sure.
That's actually not much of an excuse, is it? There are some folk out there who believe what they read on the internet, you know!
It seems to me that if one is going to presume to write something on a wiki, then it's up to that person to get it right. To come to your next point; the fact that folk do work from memory, or guess, is not a safe basis for copying bits from other wikis.
Sounds to me like some folk need to wake their ideas up!
So to repeat - use the books! There are plenty of excellent reference books out there in addition to Tolkien's texts; Foster's Guide for one, and the excellent The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion' by Scull and Hammond.
