Each entry should begin with '''Agree''', '''Disagree''' or '''Undecided''' and be signed by the user, and, if they choose, an explanation of their vote.<br /> <br /> ==Current nominations==<br /> ===[[Gurthang]]===<br /> Important object in both [[The Silmarillion]] and [[The Children of Húrin]], well-written too. I think it deserves being featured. --[[User:Holdwine Meriadoc|Holdwine Meriadoc]] 01:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)<br /> <br /> '''Agree''': I think it would be a wonderful to feature an article on a weapon, especially one with such an early history. The article is very engaging and well done -Sindarinelf<br /> <br /> '''Agree'''. I think this article is very well-written and it would be great to feature a weapon, especially one as important as Gurthang. -[[User:Ancalagon the Black|Ancalagon the Black]] 17:40, 4 October 2020 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===[[Gandalf]]===<br /> It's a pretty impressive article, and well deserved for my favourite character and such an interesting character.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 07:14, 6 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> * '''Agree'''. If I'm not mistaking, Gandalf has already been FA once. That doesn't mean it can't be again, but it's near the end of the queue. Oh, '''agree''', btw. but the sourcing needs to be a bit better. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 08:01, 6 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> * '''Agree'''. This article is extensive, appears complete, well-referenced, and lavishly illustrated. It is a prime example of what an FA should be.--[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 13:31, 7 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. Yes, quite well done. Excellent, in fact.--Ingwe<br /> <br /> * '''Agree'''. Nice long article, good information, plus good introduction into Tolkien. {{unsigned|ZehnWaters}}<br /> <br /> *'''Agree''' A Middle Earth without Gandalf, is not a true Middle Eearth at all.--{{User:Breragor/sig}}<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. After reading it, I have to admit it is the best article we have.--<tt><sup><font color="#7BA05B">[[User:Odysseas-spartan-53|Odysseas]]-[[User talk:Odysseas-spartan-53|Spartan]]</font></sup>[[Special:Contributions/Odysseas-spartan-53|<font color="#4B5320"><font size="5">53</font></font>]]</tt> 10:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. Olorin, Mithrandir, Gandalf, conjurer, istar, mighty maiar, there is so much to be told of my favourite immortal. Elvenshieldmaiden<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. Exellent Article! Besides, Gandalf is the heart of Tolkien's work. His article deserves to be featured. [[User:Mthomas|mthomas]] 12:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. The first thing new users see is the main page, and generally people are most familiar with Gandalf. --Yurpee<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. A central character in the LoTR trilogy. Everyone knows who he is and he deserves a good moment in the spotlight. -- Naruvir<br /> <br /> *'''Disagree''' - I think it's a big cluttered in its structure and severely lacks sources required to make it worthy of the title. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 14:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. It definitely deserves to be featured, but I think later, after the revisions are done because of the Hobbit movies coming. {{Unsigned|Lilybell}}<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. It is a well written article, the main picture is appropriate, and there are very little red links. This article gives a great introduction to Gandalf for someone who is new to Tolkien's works. Plus, the character is just all-around amazing. --[[User:Joszyboom|Joszyboom]]<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. I think it is an important fact that Gandalf is a Miar, and not just a human with powers. I don't think that many people would know that, but it is important and this will help. -- quark<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. I remember when I was just getting into Tolkien's works in 6th grade with The Hobbit and had no idea who Gandalf was then I went to LOTR and Gandalf with the "You Shall Not Pass" I was amazed and started to delve deeper but that was my own initiative if this article goes on the home page then any new Tolkien reader would go and read it learning a substantial amount of knowledge. -- Aragorn is Awesome<br /> <br /> *'''Agree'''. But, people get so excited about editing his article that they forget the citations...--[[User:Erónèhire|Erónèhire]] 02:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===[[Dwalin]]===<br /> As Smaug has been featured for almost nine months now I think it is time to look for a new featured article. Personally I think [[Dwalin]] might be a good choice. It is well-writen, sourced, no maintaince templates and only one red link. Although Dwalin isn't as long as previous featured articles, it covers (almost) all information that can be found in the books. And, with [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]] coming this year people will search for more information about the Hobbit and characters/locations. Therefore it would be good if an article related to The Hobbit will appear on the main page. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 19:57, 9 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :+1.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 20:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Any other opinions? --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 14:53, 21 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I don't like the main image.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 15:20, 21 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::I kind of agree, but we don't have many other images of him. The only other suitable image seems to be [[:File:New Line Cinema - Dwalin 2.png|this one]]. --[[User:Amroth|Amroth]] 19:55, 21 March 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::Why not an image from The Hobbit film?--[[User:Erónèhire|Erónèhire]] 02:31, 10 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ===[[Mirkwood]]===<br /> I think it is a good article written well its long covers all 4 ages with good pictures though I think a better quote could be found would someone check to make sure its ours and not wikis because smaug has been featured way to long oh and does this count as my vote and nomanation [[User:Neumanjames 2010|Throrin Longbeard]] 03:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :'''Disagree''', due to lack of citations. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 14:59, 21 May 2014 (UTC)<br /> '''Disagree''' I like the article, but there is a lack of citations.<br /> <br /> ===''[[Roverandom]]''===<br /> A thorough article which covers the plot, characters, publication history and critical reception to the book. There are also associated articles for the more significant characters. The article is fully referenced, and meets all ten of the criteria listed above. --{{User:Mith/sig}} 22:11, 26 December 2018 (UTC)<br /> <br /> * '''Agree'''. Thoroughly written, great article in general. I think it would do nicely. --{{User:Holdwine Meriadoc/sig}}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Featured Articles| ]]<br /> [[Category:Tolkien Gateway]]</div>

Nan vagor.<br /> <br /> As you might have guessed, I am a huge fan of Tolkien. My favorite Middle Earth race is Elves and the Men of Rohan and Gondor, my favorite Lord of the Rings character is [[Eowyn]]. I read the Hobbit when I was about seven, and when I was ten I had finished the Lord of the Rings. By now I have also read [[The Silmarillion]] and Unfinished Tales of Numènor and Middle Earth. <br /> I love the movie adaption for the Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit, although I do wish the Hobbit movie was a more accurate. <br /> <br /> *I do think that the Entwives are not lost<br /> *I think that balrogs have wings, probably of fire<br /> *I speak some Sindarin, some Quenya and am learning more <br /> *Some of my other favorite Lord of the Rings/Hobbit characters are: [[Legolas]], [[Thranduil]], [[Elrond]], [[Galadriel]] (or any elf) Frodo, Mithrandir ([[Gandalf]]), and [[Faramir]]<br /> *My favorite Silmarillion characters are [[Fingon]], [[Orome]], and [[Tulkas]]<br /> *I am a Christian<br /> *I have a lot of userboxes (scroll down) <br /> <br /> ==Favorite Quotes==<br /> <br /> "The love of the Elves for their land and their works is deeper than the deeps of the Sea, and their regret is undying and cannot ever wholly be assuaged." [[The Fellowship of the Ring]]<br /> <br /> "What do you fear, lady?" he asked.<br /> "A cage," she said.

King Théoden in fact named her ruler of [[Rohan]] in his and Éomer's absence when the Doorward [[Háma]] recommended that one of "The House of Eorl" should rule. At first, Théoden only thought of male members, and he and Éomer were the last males of the House, but Háma reminded them of Éowyn, who "is fearless" and that "all love her".<ref>{{TT|III6}}</ref><br /> <br /> Éowyn revealed her temperament when [[Aragorn]] was about to ride into the mountains to attempt to take the [[Paths of the Dead]]. Unable to dissuade him, she offered to accompany him, declaring herself "weary of skulking in the hills, and wish to face peril and battle." The only thing she feared was a cage. However, Aragorn reminded her of her charge to govern the people until the king's return and left without her.<ref>{{RK|V2}}</ref><br /> <br /> Later, when the forces of Rohan were mustered to go to Gondor, Éowyn disguised herself as a man, and under the alias of '''[[Dernhelm]]''', travelled with the Riders of Rohan, carrying with her [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]], who was also ordered to remain behind.<ref>{{RK|V3}}</ref><br /> <br /> During the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]], she fought by King Théoden, and when he was injured during combat with the [[Witch-king|Witch-king of Angmar]], she and Merry scrambled to help him. Confronting the Witch-king, who boasted that "no living man may hinder me," she removed her helmet, exposing her long golden hair and declaring:<br /> <br /> <blockquote>''"No living man am I! You look upon a woman."''</blockquote><br /> [[File:Matt Stewart - Dernhelm.jpg|thumb|left|[[:Category:Images by Matt Stewart|Matt Stewart]] - ''Dernhelm'']]<br /> Lady Éowyn slew the Witch-king after Merry stabbed him behind the knee.

Since she didn't yet recover completely, she couldn't join Aragorn's army on their way to [[Mordor]].

However, the Witch-king actually recited the prophecy incorrectly: he said that "no living man may hinder me," though the prophecy actually said that "not by the hand of ''man'' will he fall."<ref name="Gondor">{{App|Gondor}}</ref> Glorfindel's prophesy, unlike his own version, implies that the Witch-king will not fall to a man. In Tolkien's writing, man and woman applies simply to the gender of any Middle-earth race. Only when he capitalised Man did it denote the race of Men. The Witch-king may not have realised that the prophecy meant only a male, thus, his moment of doubt and hesitation when he faced Éowyn.<ref name="Battle"/><br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in adaptations==<br /> <center><gallery><br /> File:The Lord of the Rings (1978 film) - Éowyn.jpg|<center>[[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1978 film)]]</center><br /> File:The Return of the King (1980 film) - Éowyn.jpg|<center>[[The Return of the King (1980 film)|''The Return of the King'' (1980 film)]]</center><br /> File:The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy - Éowyn.jpg|<center>[[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]]</center><br /> File:LOTRO-Éowyn.jpg|<center>''[[The Lord of the Rings Online: Riders of Rohan]]''</center><br /> </gallery></center><br /> <br /> '''1955-6: [[The Lord of the Rings (1955 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1955 radio series)]]:'''<br /> :[[Olive Gregg]] provides the voice of Éowyn.<br /> <br /> '''1978: [[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1978 film)]]:'''<br /> :Éowyn is briefly seen, but has no lines.<br /> <br /> '''1979: ''[[The Lord of the Rings (1979 radio series)|The Mind's Eye's The Lord of the Rings]]'':'''<br /> :Éowyn is portrayed by [[Karen Hurley]].<br /> <br /> '''1980: [[The Return of the King (1980 film)|''The Return of the King'' (1980 film)]]:'''<br /> :Éowyn is voiced by actress [[Nellie Bellflower]].

The incorrect date has been corrected in the [[The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)|50th anniversary edition]]. See also ''[[The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion]]'', p. 716.</ref> - {{FoA|61}}; [[Shire Reckoning]]: 1380 - 1482; 102 years old when he sailed into the [[Aman|West]]) was [[Frodo Baggins]]' servant and the only original member of the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] to remain with him till the very end of the journey to [[Mount Doom]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> He lived with his father, [[Gaffer Gamgee|Hamfast Gamgee]], better known as "The Gaffer", on [[Bagshot Row]] in [[the Shire]], close to [[Bag End]]. Sam's mother was [[Bell Gamgee|Bell Goodchild]]; he had five siblings: [[Hamson Gamgee|Hamson]], [[Halfred Gamgee|Halfred]], [[Daisy Gamgee|Daisy]], [[May Gamgee|May]], and [[Marigold Gamgee|Marigold]]. <br /> <br /> A gardener by trade, Sam seemed to be a simple [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] of plain speech. However, his love for [[Elves]], his gift for poetry, and his belief that the world contains greater wonders than most hobbits are aware of (all nurtured by his tutor [[Bilbo Baggins]]) set him apart from the beginning.<br /> <br /> Sam was one of the "[[Conspirators]]" who were summoned by [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry Brandybuck]] in order to watch over [[Frodo Baggins]] and the [[The One Ring|Ring]] inherited by Frodo from Bilbo. Being the closest to Frodo, Sam was their "chief investigator" who eavesdropped on his talks with [[Gandalf]] the [[Wizards|Wizard]].<ref>{{FR|Conspiracy}}</ref><br /> <br /> On [[13 April]], when Gandalf revealed to Frodo that Bilbo's ring is [[Sauron]]'s One Ring, they noticed Sam eavesdropping. Initially suspected as a spy, Sam feigned innocent curiosity. As "punishment", Sam was made Frodo's first companion on his journey to [[Bree]] and [[Rivendell]].<ref>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref> Sam and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin Took]] followed Frodo to his new house at [[Crickhollow]] where his and the Conspirators' role was revealed. Merry joined the travelers on their way to Bree. They passed through the [[Old Forest]], the [[Barrow-downs]] and [[the Prancing Pony]] at Bree where they were joined by "[[Strider (Aragorn)|Strider]]". [[Sauron]]'s spies had opened the stables of the inn and all the mounts went loose, therefore before leaving the village, the company purchased a [[Ponies|pony]] from [[Bill Ferny]]. Sam loved and tended the animal, and named him [[Bill the Pony|Bill]], after his owner.<br /> <br /> When they reached [[Rivendell]], Sam was beside Frodo's bed while he was recovering from the [[Morgul-wound]] he was inflicted on [[Weathertop]]. Sam also was caught eavesdropping on the [[Council of Elrond]] and insisted that he accompany Frodo on his [[Quest of the Ring|quest to destroy the Ring]]. <br /> <br /> In [[Lothlórien]], [[Galadriel]] [[Gifts of Galadriel|gave]] Sam a [[Sam's garden box|box]] containing earth from her orchard.<br /> <br /> After the [[Breaking of the Fellowship]], Sam was the only member of the Fellowship to remain with Frodo.<br /> When [[Gollum]] joined up with them, Sam remained distrustful of his loyalty to Frodo, and treated him with disdain, and partially (though unintentionally) pushed Gollum to betray Frodo in [[Shelob's Lair]]. <br /> [[File:John Howe - Sam and Shelob.jpg|thumb|[[John Howe]] - ''Sam and Shelob'']]<br /> After [[Shelob]] attacked and seemingly killed Frodo, Sam took the Ring, intending to complete the quest, but upon learning that Frodo still lived, he rescued him from the [[Tower of Cirith Ungol]] and returned the Ring to him. Because he held the Ring for a time, he is considered one of the [[Ring-bearers]].<br /> <br /> Together, Sam and Frodo crossed [[Mordor]] to [[Mount Doom]]. Sam himself carrying Frodo up the slope for part of the way. After the destruction of the Ring, both Sam and Frodo were honored by [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] for their deeds. <br /> <br /> [[File:Ted Nasmith - Sam and Rosie Cotton.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Sam and Rosie Cotton'']]<br /> After the [[War of the Ring]], and the [[Scouring of the Shire]], Sam planted saplings in all the places where specially beautiful and beloved trees had been destroyed, and he put a grain of Galadriel's soil at the root of each. He planted a silver nut in the [[Party Field]] where [[the Party Tree]] had once been, and the nut grew into a [[Mallorn]] tree. <br /> <br /> He married [[Rose Cotton|Rose "Rosie" Cotton]]. In honor for restoring the Shire his family was given the name [[Gardner Family|Gardner]]. <br /> <br /> They had thirteen children: [[Elanor Gardner|Elanor the Fair]], [[Frodo Gardner|Frodo]], [[Rose Gardner|Rose]], [[Merry Gardner|Merry]], [[Pippin Gardner|Pippin]], [[Goldilocks Gardner|Goldilocks]], [[Hamfast Gardner|Hamfast]], [[Daisy Gardner|Daisy]], [[Primrose Gardner|Primrose]], [[Bilbo Gardner|Bilbo]], [[Ruby Gardner|Ruby]], [[Robin Gardner|Robin]], and [[Tolman Gardner|Tolman]]. When Frodo sailed on the [[White Ship]], at the end of the Third Age, Sam inherited Bag End and was entrusted the [[Red Book of Westmarch]].<br /> <br /> After [[Will Whitfoot]] resigned his post as [[Mayor of Michel Delving]] (the largest town in the Shire and the "unofficial capital"), in {{FoA|6}}, Sam was elected Mayor of the Shire for seven consecutive 7-year terms.<br /> <br /> After his wife died in {{FoA|61}}, Sam entrusted the Red Book to Elanor and, according to her, he went to the [[Grey Havens]] to sail across the Sea and be reunited with Frodo in the [[Undying Lands]].<br /> ==Appearance==<br /> Sam has brown eyes. At some points his hands are mentioned as brown.<Ref>{{TT|Stairs}}</ref><ref>{{RK|Tower}}</ref> If taken literally, he could be brown-skinned, as the [[Harfoots]].<ref>{{FR|Concerning}}</ref><br /> ==Etymology==<br /> Samwise means "simple minded" or "half-minded". Gamgee is a corruption of the name [[Gammidgy]], a village in the Shire. Both names are presented as translations of the [[Westron]] form of Sam's name '''[[Banazîr]] [[Galbasi]]''' (''also spelled Banazîr Galpsi'') (q.v. for more information).<ref>{{App|Translation}}</ref><br /> <br /> Tolkien's English translation, ''Samwís Gamwich'', could have come to ''Samwise Gamgee'' in modern English.<br /> <br /> The [[Sindarin]] version of Samwise is '''[[Perhael]]'''.<br /> <br /> ==Inspiration==<br /> [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] took the name from ''Gamgee Tissue'', a surgical dressing invented by a 19th century [[Birmingham]] surgeon called Joseph Sampson Gamgee. "Gamgee" became the colloquial name in Birmingham for cotton wool. Here, Tolkien describes why he had chosen that name for his character:<br /> {{quote|The choice of Gamgee was primarily directed by alliteration; but I did not invent it. It was caught out of childhood memory, as a comic word or name. It was in fact the name when I was small (in Birmingham) for 'cotton-wool'. (Hence the association of the Gamgees with the Cottons.) I knew nothing of its origin.|''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]''}}<br /> <br /> It is possible that Tolkien may have subconsciously recalled Dr. Gamgee (who died in 1886 but is commemorated by a plaque at the Birmingham Medical Institute, only yards from Tolkien's childhood home) but he claimed to be genuinely surprised when, in March 1956, he received a letter from one Sam Gamgee, who had heard that his name was in ''The Lord of the Rings'' but had not read the book. Tolkien replied on March 18:<br /> {{quote|Dear Mr. Gamgee,<p>It was very kind of you to write. You can imagine my astonishment when I saw your signature! I can only say, for your comfort, I hope, that the 'Sam Gamgee' of my story is a most heroic character, now widely beloved by many readers, even though his origins are rustic. So that perhaps you will not be displeased at the coincidence of the name of this imaginary character of supposedly many centuries ago being the same as yours.|''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]:'' [[Letter 184]]}}<br /> <br /> He proceeded to send Mr Gamgee a signed copy of all three volumes of the book. However, the incident sparked a nagging worry in Tolkien's mind, as he recorded in his journal: <br /> {{quote|For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with.|''[[J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography]]''}}<br /> <br /> ==In other stories==<br /> In the illustrated short story ''[[Mr. Bliss]]'', the local police officer is a Sergeant [[Boffin Family|Boffin]] who - at the behest of [[Gaffer Gamgee]] - seeks to lock up Mr Bliss as a thief for failing to pay for his car. Sergeant Boffin also has a son named Sam.<ref>[[J.R.R.

Later, he is found on [[Cerin Amroth]] in Lothlorien, alongside Frodo. The game's "Guardian" class ("Tank" in MMO terms) is based on Samwise due to the dedication he showed Frodo. This leads to an interesting occurrence: at some point each player gets to talk to a major character, who inspired his class. But while Legolas can teach a lot to a Hunter and Bilbo can show much to a Burglar, Sawmwise insists that he is no Guardian and not fit to be one - because his heroic deeds have not happened yet. The player has to double-check and discovers that whoever talked of Sam as a great Guardian, apparently had misheard the word "Gardener".<br /> <br /> == Commentary ==<br /> Sam Gamgee is by many regarded as the "true hero" of Tolkien's story. Tolkien himself expressed this view in one of his letters: Sam is referred to as the "chief hero", and special emphasis is placed on Sam's "rustic love" for Rosie.<ref>{{L|131}}</ref> The quest to destroy the Ring only succeeds because of Sam, who repeatedly saves Frodo from disaster (such as rescuing him at [[Cirith Ungol]] and carrying him up [[Mount Doom]]). He was one of only two Ring-bearers strong enough to surrender the Ring voluntarily.<br /> <br /> The relationship between Frodo and Sam is, in many respects, at the center of ''The Lord of the Rings''. To the modern reader, it seems archaic, as it is extremely class-oriented. Sam's humbleness and "plain speaking" is frequently emphasised in contrast to Frodo's "gentility", and he often shows deference to Frodo, calling him "Mister Frodo" or "Master". At the same time, a strong bond of love and trust grows between them, portrayed most poignantly during the events of Cirith Ungol, where Sam vows to return to his (apparently) dead master, to be reunited with Frodo in death. <br /> <br /> [[Tolkienists]] regard Sam as Frodo's ''[[wikipedia:Batman (army)|batman]]''. In the British Army, a batman was an orderly who acted as the personal servant of an officer. It was a role with which Tolkien (who served as an Army officer in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I First World War]) would have been extremely familiar. Sam undertakes all of the typical roles of a batman &mdash; he runs errands for Frodo, he cooks, he transports him (or at least carries him), and he carries his luggage. Tolkien confirmed this interpretation when he wrote in a private letter that:<br /> {{quote|My Sam Gamgee is indeed a reflexion of the English soldier, of the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognized as so far superior to myself|''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]''}}<br /> <br /> Compare to the relation between [[wikipedia:Don_Quixote|Don Quixote]] and his squire [[wikipedia:Sancho Panza|Sancho Panza]], and the gradual "Quixotization" of Sancho.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[:Category:Images of Samwise Gamgee|Images of Samwise Gamgee]]<br /> <br /> {{References|n}}<br /> {{seq-start}}<br /> {{seq-head<br /> | race=hobbit<br /> | house=[[Gamgee Family]]<br /> | born=[[6 April]] {{TA|2980}}<br /> | died=After {{FoA|61}}<br /> }}<br /> {{seq<br /> | prev=[[Frodo Baggins]]<br /> | list=[[Ring-bearers|Ring-bearer]]<br /> | dates=[[13 March|13]]-[[14 March]], {{TA|3019}}<br /> | next=[[Frodo Baggins]]<br /> }}<br /> {{seq<br /> | prev=[[Will Whitfoot]]<br /> | list=[[Mayor of Michel Delving]]<br /> | dates={{FoA|6}} - {{FoA|55}}<br /> | next=Unknown<br /> }}<br /> {{seq-end}}<br /> <br /> {{councilofelrond}}{{fellowship}}{{FellowshipRoute}}{{ringbearers}}<br /> [[Category:Characters in The Lord of the Rings]]<br /> [[Category:Fourth Age characters]]<br /> [[Category:Hobbits]]<br /> [[Category:Gamgee]]<br /> [[Category:Ring-bearers]]<br /> [[Category:Chroniclers of Arda]]<br /> [[Category:Third Age characters]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Samweis Gamdschie]]</div>
