 * Infobox ✔️
 * Lead ✔️
 * Literature ✔️ - has a couple of lengthy quotes, but not inappropriately.
 * Names and titles ✔️
 * Interpretation
 * "but oblivious of the potential danger" - suggestion not a requirement: consider changing to something like "but with him being oblivious to the potential danger"
 * Tweaked.
 * "Further, his death" - I suggest "Further, Roland's death" for even greater clarity.
 * Done.
 * "gives the appearance of signalling" - is it just "signals" ?
 * Source has "seems to presage..."
 * "Boromir's funeral compared to the ship-burial in Beowulf" consider crediting Lee and Solopova in the heading (like for Burns, in the Gandalf article)
 * Multiple scholarly sources have made the comparison, so I felt that it had reached the level of general scholarly knowledge rather than one or other scholar's contribution.


 * Portrayal in adaptations ✔️ - OK with amendments as per below.
 * Noted.
