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.
