The dates concerning Gollum are taken from The Hunt for the Ring in the Unfinished Tales, where those events are said to take place a year later, in 3018; however the published The Tale of Years (Appendix B) places the capture in the year 3017. According to Hammond and Scull, Tolkien changed the date because he probably thought that more time was needed between the capture of Gollum and the arrival of Gandalf in Hobbiton (12 April, 3018). This article reflects Tolkien's later decision, but uses the exact dates from The Hunt for the Ring.
