Normally

no neologisms but obviously this one comes out of the praxis.

Have any WikiHobbit's been observed, or known to self-identify?

Have any WikiHobbit's been observed, or known to self-identify? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:08, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

If someone happens along and wants to make one, by all means please do. I expanded and cleaned up the page and probably changed the definition in the process. The new opening paragraph, for those who don't recognise it, is based on this description of hobbits. John Slocum (talk) 13:04, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Copyvio?

Doesn't the title WikiHobbit/Archive 1 infringe uupon JRR Tolkien's copyright? WikiMaster111 (talk) 21:50, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

While there are more complicated nuances in the world of copyright, no, this one doesn't. Infringing it here would be giving extremely long quotations from his works crossing the threshold of fair use, can't imagine a title ever doing so--but then again, I'm sure there are special cases.

Negativity

Is it really necessary to have to negative bit about power and whatnot in there? Seems like these humor-oriented projects should generally avoid that sort of thing. Mr.1032 (talk) 04:58, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
