Hehehe I loved this book....
- Many thanks! I'll get to this later today. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:12, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- Umm usually we're worried these articles are too plot-heavy...but this has very little. I recall some of the other names being quite funny. Serutan for Saruman (topical for the time), and Minas Troney - chapter "Minas Troney in the Soup" being amusing. I think some expansion here is needed. Not much but a bit more...
- Well, nobody reads BotR for the plot, exactly... I've added Serutan and Minas Troney.
- True - am torn. Part of me thinks it should be bigger but other part just says follow plt of LoTR I guess. Need to think overnight.....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:17, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- Well, I've never had to write a more impossible plot summary really (and I still recall the scars of the 'Use of English' precis text of something musicological, in an earlier millennium, clearly designed to be irreducible: each sentence rambled on from the last words of the previous one; I got an 'A'). Anyway, you've got your ten chapters' worth.

Also the lead is a tad on the small side....- Extended a bit.
1. Well written?:
- Prose quality:
- Manual of Style compliance:
2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:
- References to sources:
- Citations to reliable sources, where required:
- No original research:
3. Broad in coverage?:
- Major aspects:
- Focused:
4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
- Fair representation without bias:
5. Reasonably stable?
- No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):
6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:
- Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales: I think the potted summary adds to the article nicely as the parody names have out-of-universe connotations themselves. Anyway, a nice read. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:31, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, it was a challenge! Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:34, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
