The article is well-written and supported by academic sources, but its coverage of the Edwardian adventure story tradition feels uneven. The focus is heavily on Tolkien’s relationship to specific authors (like Haggard and Buchan) without enough context about the broader Edwardian genre or how Tolkien diverged from it. The lead could also better summarize the key analytical points. These are fixable within the hold period.

Crystalite13: I've extended the Context with a section on adventure fiction of the period, and the account of Tolkien with more detail on the varied influences on his writing and the many non-adventure themes that he employs. These are both large subjects so I've added 'Further' links for the section. I've extended the lead to provide more detail on the reaction to Lobdell's views.

Alright, excellent! Thanks for clearly addressing all the issues. I find the lead better summarizes key points, and the context has been extended very well. Article is well written and understandable. Sources seem acceptable and there's no original research present. I find it neutral, and there are no edit wars that I can see. I agree with media use, so that's all good. Funny enough, I find this article pretty interesting as I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy way back and find J.R.R Tolkein's works pretty interesting! Anyway, congrats on another GA! You have a lot of those :) Crystalite13 (talk) 15:05, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
