   One of the regulars on rec.arts.sf.written corrected his date of birth   
   in the wikipedia article about him. The correction was rejected because   
   it was original research. Completely within the policy of "cited information   
   only".   
      
   So rejecting information about LotR because it has no citation is hardly   
   "Tolkien Censorship". What it is is consistent with their published policies.

   The name of the story is "A Sound of Thunder".   
   It was written by Ray Bradbury. You're welcome.
