Copyvio and Plagiarism check

• Looked at all sources showing more than 3% match on Earwig's Copyvio Detector. No concerns - nearly all matches were due to titles.

Noted.

Lead and Infobox

• His appearance in The Silmarillion isn't covered in the body of the article.

There's hardly anything to say, but I've now said it.

Should The Silmarillion be under primary rather than secondary sources?

Done.

• "He features also ..." sounds to me like a phrasing that might be used by a character in the books. Consider "He also features … "

Fixed.

Adaptations

• "and is expanded far beyond the brief role in the book." needs another source.

Cited.

• I couldn't access the Filmonic source link - possibly a temporary issue.

Added Archive link.

• "A worried Radagast watches as Gandalf enters Dol Guldur." doesn't seem to be included in the source cited.

Removed.

• The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies details aren't in the source cited.

Cited.

Chiswick Chap I don't have much to say on this one. The article seems to me to be comprehensive, neutral, and appropriately supported by sources except where there is a little bit to do on the Adaptations section. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:15, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm happy with the responses above. I spotted one other small thing - is "Other" meant to be a subheading under Adaptations (===Other=== rather than ==Other==)?

Good catch, demoted. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:47, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for all your work on the article. I'm happy to pass it for GA. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:04, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
