Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed
  • Link Celtic.
  • Done.
  • Welsh is linked at second mention.
  • Fixed.
  • "constructed Elvish language" Link Elvish.
  • Done.
  • "Tolkien's Middle-earth including" probably needs a comma.
  • Repunctuated sentence.
  • "That was a complex pleasure" I'm unsure what exactly "that" is referring to here.
  • Edited.
  • "Literary Welsh" You could link the whole term instead of just the first word.
  • Done.
  • "Common Eldarin" Any applicable links here?
  • Added link in sentence.
  • "here in a 1910 illustration" maybe better as "shown here in a 1910 illustration"?
  • Done.
  • "Melkor" A gloss that quickly explains who this is would be helpful.
  • Added.
  • "invaded Ireland...burning their...fighting a..." You start the sentence in the past tense and switch to present halfway through. It's mythology, so past would be better.
  • Checked; it's grammatically correct.
  • "Uttermost West including" Comma
  • Added.
  • "is "so far" Undying Lands is plural, so should be "are"
  • Fixed.
  • "and Balor...glass" This clause does not make sense taken together with the part before the semicolon.
  • Rearranged sentence.
  • "The Sword in the Stone is broken" This sounds out of place, looks like it's missing the parallel of Narsil breaking.
  • Tweaked.
  • "the sword remade" Comma.
  • "the sword remade as Andúril" is a thing.
  • The images are all licensed and used correctly.
  • Noted.
  • The sources are all reliable and formatted correctly.
  • Noted.
  • Spotchecks:
    • Hall, Mark R. (2012). "Gandalf and Merlin, Aragorn and Arthur: Tolkien's Transmogrification of the Arthurian Tradition and Its Use as a Palimpsest for The Lord of the Rings". Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016. Verifies all claims made.
    • Whetter, K. S.; McDonald, R. Andrew (2006). ""In the Hilt is Fame": Resonances of Medieval Swords and Sword- lore in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings". Mythlore. Verifies all claims made.
    • Heritage, Stuart (5 September 2022). "The backlash to rule them all? Every controversy about The Rings of Power so far". The Guardian. Verifies all claims made.
  • Noted.
