@Paradise Chronicle and BorgQueen: This is an interesting article, but it needs a good copyediting before it is ready for the main page. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 12:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Like for what? Point out what you want to have changed? I have made some slight adaption and hope to have addressed your concerns.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 12:26, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I've copyedited the lead and the first section of the article. Hope it looks a little better now. BorgQueen (talk) 16:38, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like another reviewer, as I'm too involved now. @Theleekycauldron: Can you take a look? BorgQueen (talk) 06:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BorgQueen. Thank you very much for the CEs, some nice prose and phrases you added to the article the – looks really good. I also quickly revised and saw the several wls you made but was not sure if some of the words actually appear in the sources I had used. For the Middle Earth, CGI or loincloth I couldn't confirm it appears in the Guardian source. But I'll go through it and see if I find something in another article. But also if ~~not~~ does not appear in the source you are probably right it can just not be related to the trials over the sources used in the article.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle: You're right actually. I was only focusing on the prose and forgetting about the sources lol. Will be adding them one by one. BorgQueen (talk) 08:51, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle: Refs have been added. BorgQueen (talk) 09:37, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sojourner in the earth: Can you take a look now? BorgQueen (talk) 09:40, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks alright now, thanks. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 17:19, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
