Talk:The Nature of Middle-earth

Reliable sources
This is a book of Tolkien scholarship which will certainly be reviewed by academic sources within the next year or two. Those reviews will be published in reliable journals. Until then, our duty is simply to be patient; we should not be rushing to publish opinions from fan-sites just because they're early to the web. I'm sorry if this is disappointing to fans but WP:RS is policy. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:07, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * There is this one from nationalreview.com, but I don't know whether it is a reliable one. Artem.G (talk) 10:39, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's a usable source. On political matters it could be POV but here it's fine, and in any case Birzer is a known Tolkien scholar. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:47, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
