Middle-earth B‑class Mid‑importance

	This article is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, his legendarium, and related topics. Please visit the project talk page for suggestions and ideas on how you can improve this and other articles.Middle-earthWikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earthTemplate:WikiProject Middle-earthTolkien articles
B	This article has been rated as B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material before the current action must be written in past tense. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards for more information about this and other article standards.

Hmm, Bree is a major character in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Horse and His Boy" as well.

How embarrassing! I wrote "Middle-eastern" by mistake in the Summary field, instead of "Middle-earth". I guess there's no escaping the M.E. conflict, even in the king of escape literature.

They'll probably figure out some way to blame Israel for the War of the Ring. It seems like people have found a way to drag Israel into *everything* in Wikipedia that hints at oppression (apartheid, terrorism, 9/11 attacks...), whether they deserve it or not. Maybe Barliman Butterbur was actually an agent of Ariel Sharon?!? Modemac

Technically, this should be Bree (Middle-earth). If we can move pages (I.E., with histories) it maybe worth doing so, or we could just make this a redirect, or we could just leave it as it is. Doesn't anyone particularly care? I think maximising the consistency of our Middle-earth namespace would be a very good thing. --General Wesc

What's wrong with just calling it Bree? -- Zoe

Check at Bree: "Bree is also a municipality in Belgium" -- Tarquin

How can one say that Bree is mostly populated with men, the population is a mix of men and hobbits, and the only place in middle-earth where men and hobbits co-exist hormoniously! Somebody isn't doing their homework. AVI

New Image?

I have taken an image of Bree from Lord of the Rings online. Anyone mind if I put it on here?

Fair use rationale for Image:Breewide.jpg

Image:Breewide.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cardolan?

What is the source that Bree was part of Cardolan? I've heard that before as being something Tolkien wrote, but it appears to contradict the description of the borders he gives in the Appendix, which says that the border between Arthedain and Cardolan is the road - Bree is on the northern (i.e., Arthedain) side of the road. I'm not doubting that Tolkien said it was in Cardolan, but I'm interested to hear the details. john k 03:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are right: the dike and hedgerow marking the boundary between Cardolan and Arthedain was well south of the East Road (see "Fog on the Barrow Downs"). I've changed "Cardolan" to "Arthedain" in the article. Elphion 16:39, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of Bree

It might be worth noting that "Brae" means "hill" in Scots, a language descended from Anglo-Saxon, an retaining more from it than English does - Duncan Sneddon
