Another Tolkien GAN! I will be able to review this later today. ツLunaEatsTuna (💬)— 05:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

There we go! Okay, this review is on the shorter side, but the article is quite well-written, and a large portion of the text is attributed quotations which naturally cannot be changed. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 19:23, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

LunaEatsTuna: Super. All done to date. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:38, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Prose

I would wikilink luck and fate in the lead as both are wikilinked later in the body.
- Done.

"that the Valar resemble angels in Christianity" – wikilink to angels in Christianity; I reckon both angels and Christianity are commonly known enough definitions to not require a wikilink.
- Actually there is a more specific article "Angels in Christianity" which does rather seem worth linking.

In the table, "Tries to command the Ring to return to him" is capitalised whilst none of the other sentences are.
- Fixed.

"In addition, the leapfrogging of the timeline" – is leapfrogging the correct word? From what I could find it appears to be predominantly economics jargon.
- It's quite usual in Britspeak.
  - Oh I see.

"Théoden's maxim just mentioned" – how about just "Théoden's maxim"? IMO the additional text is unnecessary.
- Gone.

Add citations to the quote boxes.
- Done.

Refs

Passes spotcheck on refs 1, 7, 12 and 16.

Kreeft, Peter J. is a dead link.
- Archived. Their whole website is down, probably just a glitch - it's been there since 2005.
  - I hope they get it working again.

Other

Short desc, section formatting, ALT text, navs, other templates and cats all good. Nice work!
