I'll take this review. Might take me a couple days to get to it, but I'll get it in. Hog Farm _Bacon 14:51, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's a bunch of duplinks. The duplink checker tool I have installed as a preference flags Barad-dur, Sauron, Dagorlad, Gondor, One Ring, Eriador, and Gollum as all being linked multiple times.

Searched and fixed.

"The Ringwraiths took advantage of Gondor's defeat to re-enter Mordor, - I really think decline would be a better word here than defeat, as Gondor wasn't really defeated in this context until the capture of Minas Ithil

Quite right. Fixed.

"where many international Corporations" - I'm not convinced Corporations is a proper noun in this usage, so it probably shouldn't be capitalized

Fixed.

Well written prose here. Most of my comments will be about reference formatting.

Many thanks.

Reference formatting

Ref 8 needs an accessdate
Ref 9 needs an accessdate
Ref 11 needs an accessdate
Ref 12 needs an accessdate, as does ref 13
Ref 21 needs an accessdate

Done all those.

The Polish ref has an author I think it looks like, add their name

Done.

If the Parnell pop culture mention can only be sourced to the book, it's probably best to remove it; a good rule on determining if a pop culture reference is significant is if secondary sources discuss it

Ok, gone.

Ref 24 needs an accessdate

Done.

That last NYT citation needs an article title, the author for the article, a URL for the article (if available), and if you add a URL, add an accessdate. A lot of web links break eventually, and having a date from when the relevant content was accessed helps with archiving a link, since you know at what point that context still was extant.

Used NASA ref.

That's it. Well-written article, just a few formatting issues. Hog Farm _Bacon 20:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, all done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:08, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, while accessdates seem like busywork, I've learned they do have a purpose.

Maybe. When the NYT archive has crumbled like Ozymandias, where will Wikipedia be, I wonder... Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:08, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap: - One last thing I just caught. " The atlas was however published before The Peoples of Middle-earth (1996), in which the Sea of Rhûn and Mordor exist already in the First Age." is a note, with no citation. The first half of this doesn't need a citation IMO because it's obvious that a book published in 1991 was published before one in 1996. However, the bit about the Sea of Rhun and Mordor needs a cite though. That's all, I think. Hog Farm _Bacon 02:21, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
