 * The lead has too many paragraphs for this short an article.
 * Fixed.
 * Link epic poem?
 * Linked.
 * Link Scandinavia?
 * Done.
 * Perhaps some more reception could be incorporated into the lead.
 * Added.
 * "as special subject" → "as a special subject"? Also, gloss for what a "special subject" is?
 * Edited and added note.
 * Should king be capitalized in "king Hroðgar"?
 * Done.
 * Link or gloss for "line number".
 * Glossed.
 * Contents is overly split into too many tiny paragraphs.
 * Closed up.
 * Some of the subheading titles in Reception are a bit unencyclopedic, but not a big issue.
 * Noted. "Arthurian grandeur", for instance, is quoted and explained in the text.
 * I don't see "do immediacy, praising his dragon" in the source supporting the quotation, take it outside of the quotation marks.
 * Adjusted quotation. "do immediacy" is a direct quote from the Waldman source, I just checked.
 * Is the "Hwæt!" necessary in the quotation?
 * Yes. It sets the tone of Waldman's piece, as it does indeed of Beowulf itself.
 * Is the accent on the i in "Tíme passed away" intended?
 * Removed the stresses.
 * The references are all reliable and consistently formatted, and spot-checks on 4 found that they supported the text they were used to cite.
 * Noted.
 * Images need alt text.
 * Added.
