Beside that, TolkienGateway has way better standards when it comes to citations/references. The golden rule for using wikis is that you never trust the wiki, but only the references it provides. Any statement without citation should be considered incorrect. From that perspective, 90% of lotr.wikia.com is not to be trusted.

For just getting basic information for yourself, where correctness isn't too important, it's probably fine to use lotr.wikia.com since most articles are still true enough.
