Top Ten wisest in Middle-Earth

[Gollum the Great]

Galadriel said: "For the Lord of the Galadhrim is accounted the wisest of the Elves of Middle-earth,"
-The Fellowship of the Ring

If we're speaking in the War of the Ring, I'd put him over Galadriel, Elrond, and Cirdan.

You trust that Galadriel's opinion is not biased? Or that there is no sarcasm in the words?

Poor Celeborn. So few Downers believe in him. Perhaps a Celeborn Appreciation Thread is in order.

I wish Tolkien would have written more about Cirdan; maybe as the central figure in a few stories of the Silmarillion.

And who would join, may I ask?

I must agree with you here. He did a lot, but is only briefly, if ever, mentioned. But maybe he's meant to be mysterious- like "an old wise man" (except that that position is already taken taken up by Gandalf- even though Círdan has had an incarnate body for longer)

Only one way to find out, Eönwë.
