Hobbit guide entery

The current Hobbit guide entery is a bit lame and contained a mistake (which ive been told has been corrected).
Does anyone fancy helping in the societies first jointly researched guide entery? Famous hobbits, the part they play in lord of the rings, hobbits pre-lotr etc.
If this works, which it might, then we could do more such as places in lotr, main charecters in lotr etc. Not only that but first time users will be able to find out loads about the trilogy without having read or watched anything, just through various links.
How about it?

Hobbits are also known as halflings in other areas, and that might have mroe info associated with it.

Although, I do suggest when we make our ENTRY we don't use excessive 'e's... 
Just felt like saying that...

Well, I reckon everyone should take like a different book and see what they can get from that. Like, the Hobbit, the actual LOTR book, the prelude to LOTR, the accompniment books TOlkien wrote, stuff like that. Notice I separated the prelude from the story of LOTR. The actual prelude is more information while the story is story, so they could be separated.
YOu could also separate each 'volume' in the books. YOu could also have someone study the films.

i dunno, i idea came to me awhile ago whilst looking at the god awful hobbit entery that already existed (which was flawed and unresearched).
I just thought we could do better.

There is a short hobbit description over at my "Silver Sword" game A989698 but the halflings of my fantasy worlds are somewhat different from tolkien's shire-hobbits even though they are based on the above.
For one thing they can use magic - extremely well.
