Hey Chiswick Chap, I will review this nice article. I'm new to GA assessment, but I'll do my best. Artem.G (talk) 06:19, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's very good of you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:22, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Few comments/question:

"In The Prancing Pony Inn at Bree, Frodo Baggins jumps on a table and recites "a ridiculous song" supposedly invented by his cousin Bilbo." - shouldn't it be uncle Bilbo? (In Context section, the same in Performance versus folklore transmission)

Cousin is definitely correct; the "uncle" thing is a loose phrase, often used. See Frodo Baggins#Family tree; it's based on Appendix C of The Lord of the Rings.
- You are right, thanks for clarification.

"Scholars have noted that the light-hearted poem fits into a reworking by Tolkien of the Man in the Moon tradition" - shouldn't the Man in the Moon be in quotation marks? (in lead section, the same in Multi-layered tradition)

Done.

The article mentions the original Hey Diddle Diddle, so maybe it would be useful to include a short section about this rhyme, with quotation of the first stanza and a short history?

Done.

Thank you very much. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:21, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for quick fixes! As far as I see, everything is good - article's well-written, cite sources, has no edit wars, has no copyright violation (as far as I check), and covers the topic; and so IMO it is GA. Congrats!
