I would also be happy to rid Wiktionary of this sort of
thing. The
supporters of these languages seem to have only questionable contact with
reality. Tolkien was a learnèd man whose philological studies helped to
make his stories more vibrant, but sometimes people need to be reminded tha
"Lord of the Rings" was a work of _fiction_. The languages developed there
are also works of fiction with no credibility in the real world, and no
basis for development beyond the context of Tolkien's books. That being
said, any attempt at building an encyclopedia in these languages must
falter when it needs to develop vocabulary for concepts that are alien to
Middle Earth.
It is fitting that Wikipedia have an article giving an outline of these
languages, and that Wikibooks might even give an outline of the grammar.
Apart from that can we at least try to find some separation between the
real and fantasy world?

Please, please, please, don't get personal!
