Hello. I have noticed that clicking on the name "Philip Mitchell" (in the "Notable works of interactive fiction" section) leads to the page about Philip Mitchell, a British playwright. Which I believe is not correct, since the person who created "The Hobbit" is an Australian programmer. Also, in the original game's instructions he is credited as "Philip Mitchel" (with one "l"), although that might be a spelling mistake. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.24.51.224 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC1)
