Criteria marked are unassessed

• Link Celtic.

• Done.

• Welsh is linked at second mention.

• Fixed.

• "constructed Elvish language" Link Elvish.

• Done.

• "Tolkien's Middle-earth including" probably needs a comma.

• Repunctuated sentence.

• "That was a complex pleasure" I'm unsure what exactly "that" is referring to here.

• Edited.

• "Literary Welsh" You could link the whole term instead of just the first word.

• Done.

• "Common Eldarin" Any applicable links here?

• Added link in sentence.

• "here in a 1910 illustration" maybe better as "shown here in a 1910 illustration"?

• Done.

• "Melkor" A gloss that quickly explains who this is would be helpful.

• Added.

• "invaded Ireland...burning their...fighting a..." You start the sentence in the past tense and switch to present halfway through. It's mythology, so past would be better.

• Checked; it's grammatically correct.

• "Uttermost West including" Comma

• Added.

• "is "so far" Undying Lands is plural, so should be "are"

• Fixed.

• "and Balor...glass" This clause does not make sense taken together with the part before the semicolon.

• Rearranged sentence.

• "The Sword in the Stone is broken" This sounds out of place, looks like it's missing the parallel of Narsil breaking.

• Tweaked.

• "the sword remade" Comma.

• "the sword remade as Andúril" is a thing.

• The images are all licensed and used correctly.

• Noted.

• The sources are all reliable and formatted correctly.

• Noted.

• Spotchecks:
  • Hall, Mark R. (2012). "Gandalf and Merlin, Aragorn and Arthur: Tolkien's Transmogrification of the Arthurian Tradition and Its Use as a Palimpsest for The Lord of the Rings". Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016. Verifies all claims made.
  • Whetter, K. S.; McDonald, R. Andrew (2006). ""In the Hilt is Fame": Resonances of Medieval Swords and Sword- lore in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings". Mythlore. Verifies all claims made.
  • Heritage, Stuart (5 September 2022). "The backlash to rule them all? Every controversy about The Rings of Power so far". The Guardian. Verifies all claims made.

• Noted.

• That's all I have. AryKun (talk) 13:51, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
