• Provides Good Information experience; Useful to the reader using multiple examples
• Uses Images well
• Needs One or two more sections; I feel like more evidence would be too much for the reader's experience, but adding per se an author testimony section would be good
• Professional, as well as uses an unbiased approach and neutral language, which is beneficial to the reader
• Should This Be a GA: With slight tweaking, yes

Second opinion requested

The nomination was approved prematurely by a novice reviewer after noting issues with the article; the review has been reopened and a second opinion in the form of a full review by an experienced GA reviewer is requested. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:43, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Observations

 

• A quick look was mentioned, so here it is:
• Lead is definitive, crisp and sharp.
• Context The introduction to Paganism is brief, perhaps too brief. My sense is that it is appropriate to give a passing history of Paganism as relevant to the times of Old Norse and and Old High German before Christian missionaries obliterated their altars, trees, forest sanctuaries and circles.
• Multiple gods well sourced and referenced;
• Animism has a good definition and examples;
• Northern courage relates the all important foundation Beowulf has on Tolkiens legendarium;
• Virtuous paganism is an interesting inclusion and reflection on how Tolkien might have given a substratum suggesting ontic good in of some in his characters yet allowing the muthos of salvation or liberation of one kind or another to remain in the background.
• Lot of research, well scribed.
