... that Margaret Carroux translated both The Lord of the Rings and the parody Bored of the Rings into German? Source: Finding a translator for LotR in the 1960s wasn't an easy task. By the time Margaret Carroux (1912-1991) agreed to take the job [..] A valued professional with a reputation for commitment and meticulousness, her portfolio would come to include translations of [..] as well as Harvard Lampoon's Bored of the Rings" [1]
- ALT1: ... that the translation of The Lord of the Rings into German by Margaret Carroux contains errors introduced by her editor? Source: "There were battles with the editor in charge of the project, a man whose own command of English appears to have been somewhat sketchy and who ended up correcting a number of mistakes back into the text, against her fierce opposition."

The article is new enough and it has also recently been promoted to GA. I can see both hooks on jstor, and I assume good faith on the references that I cannot read. The article is neutral. A QPQ has been completed. I like both hooks, and I will let the promoter choose. SL93 (talk) 22:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
