I will be reviewing the article. Z. Patterson (talk) 20:40, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap: The article appears to be well-written, well-illustrated, verifiable, neutral, and stable. Despite its length, it seems to be broad in coverage. I checked the sources I could access, and the article agrees with the sources it cites.

I have some points to address.

• The OCLC number in the book's infobox needs to be changed. As of this statement, if I click on it (3), it leads to Illegitimacy and adoption in Maine; report of a study made for the Maine Committee on Children and Youth on WorldCat's site. The OCLC number in the citation for the book is correct.

• Fixed.

• For the sentence, "Dimitra Fimi is a Greek scholar and author; she is a lecturer in fantasy and children's literature at the University of Glasgow", could we perhaps split the sentence in two by using a full stop where the semicolon is and capitalising "she"?

• Done. A British habit.

• Do you think we need a citation at the end of every paragraph in the Book section, even though they are from the same source and are about the book?

• No.

• Why does the Awards section have its own level 2 heading? Because that section is short, I suggest making this a subsection of Reception, as a level 3 heading.

• Done.

• Later in the paragraph that starts with, "Thomas Honegger, in Tolkien Studies, notes that Fimi uses", why is "then" in brackets? I would think we would use brackets when we are quoting someone, but to add something they are referring to when that thing is not in the quote.

• Fixed.

• In the first paragraph in the Race and racism in context section, perhaps we can omit the comma between "history" and "and" in the sentence, "Campbell finds Part III 'perhaps the most intriguing' section of the book, as myth turns to history, and men take centre stage, displacing elves."

• Done.

If you make these changes or otherwise address these points, I plan to make this a good article.
