From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haltiamieli (b. March 31, 1985) is a rather nonsignificant Finnish wikipedian. He was born in Kotka, Finland and lived there through his childhood until moved to Tampere in 2007 in order to start on information studies in the University of Tampere. Haltiamieli's main field of expertise is the fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien, though his knowledge extends to some other fantasy authors as well, such as J.K. Rowling. His nickname Haltiamieli is a Finnish translation of a term Elf-friend used in Tolkien's writings to denote humans who are friends with Elves. Often in speech and in writing Haltiamieli is shortened to Haltis or Halti, the latter being also the name of the highest point of Finland.
