- Is it broad in its coverage?

- Is it possible to give more details on the source of some of the proverbs? With Tolkien's background as a philologist, I'm sure there could be some great information here. -Pax Verbum 05:44, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
- In the section "Making the world real", the article starts by mentioning Hammond and Scull, but then focuses on Crabbe and Shippey without mentioning Hammond and Scull again. It comes off a bit awkward. Hammond and Scull is an important Tolkien resource, but is there a way to reword that so it stays on focus or makes the Hammond and Scull connection a bit more clear?-Pax Verbum 03:10, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

- Concluding comments: Overall this was a delightful foray into the world of Middle-earth with Tolkien's use of proverbs and other turns of phrase.
