Working from reliable sources
Hallo, and thank you for your intention to improve Wikipedia by editing the article on The Silmarillion. However, the cited (WP:RS) Tolkien scholar, Gergely Nagy, actually used the word "unauthorized" directly, so this is not the opinion of any Wikipedia editor. The rule here is that stating one's own opinion, or reasoning as you did from knowledge and first principles, is called "original research" (WP:OR), and it is strictly forbidden. I've clarified the text and repeated the citation. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
