- Nice job on the article. I'll go over it a couple more times to check against the GA criteria, but looks in excellent shape. If I find anything else I will let you know, otherwise, I anticipate passing the article. CipherSleuth (talk) 21:17, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I am planning to review the article. I have pasted preliminary comments below. CipherSleuth (talk) 02:09, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Small fixes:
- The first time Jungian archetype is used in the character pairing section, there is no wiki-link.
- Added.
- Reference 5 appears dead. I click on it but says resource not found.
- Archived.
More general comment:
- The character Gollum is pictured at the beginning with the caption: “The scholar Brian Rosebury considers Tolkien's narrative portrayal of Gollum (pictured) his most memorable success.” After reading that caption with mention of "most memorable", I thought there would be discussion of Gollum in article, but there’s only a brief mention of Gollum in the character pairing section. I wonder if there is an opportunity to add about literary devices connected to Gollum e.g., if any of the sources talk about symbolism or metaphor regarding that character.
- Yes, added in 'Prose style'.
- In the prose section, it says that the prose style was "attacked" by Stimpson and Raffel. There's a mention of Stimpson's criticism (who thought the diction was too complex) but no mention of what problem Raffel had with the prose. Might be worth adding a sentence with additional criticism from Raffel.
- Added.
- Part of one of the sentences in the lead is a little challenging and might not be that accessible to the reader. Specifically this: "...a sequence of tableaux, a complex edifice, multiple spirals...". I don't know if this can be simplified any for the lead or add a wiki-link to tableaux. On the other hand, I guess the argument could be made that the reader just has to scroll down to learn more.
- Linked and glossed.
