• ... that one could get prosecuted for comparing the Turkish President Recep Tayyinp Erdogan to Gollum, a character from The Lord of the Rings? Source: A doctor on trial for comparing President Erodgan to Gollum...Gollum, the loathsome creature from the Lord of the Rings series This might make a good quirky hook.^(?)

@Paradise Chronicle and BorgQueen: This is an interesting article, but it needs a good copyediting before it is ready for the main page. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 12:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Like for what? Point out what you want to have changed? I have made some slight adaption and hope to have addressed your concerns.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 12:26, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. I've copyedited the lead and the first section of the article. Hope it looks a little better now. BorgQueen (talk) 16:38, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

I'd like another reviewer, as I'm too involved now. @Theleekycauldron: Can you take a look? BorgQueen (talk) 06:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi BorgQueen. Thank you very much for the CEs, some nice prose and phrases you added to the article the – looks really good. I also quickly revised and saw the several wls you made but was not sure if some of the words actually appear in the sources I had used. For the Middle Earth, CGI or loincloth I couldn't confirm it appears in the Guardian source. But I'll go through it and see if I find something in another article. But also if not does not appear in the source you are probably right it can just not be related to the trials over the sources used in the article.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

@Paradise Chronicle: You're right actually. I was only focusing on the prose and forgetting about the sources lol. Will be adding them one by one. BorgQueen (talk) 08:51, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

@Paradise Chronicle: Refs have been added. BorgQueen (talk) 09:37, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

@Sojourner in the earth: Can you take a look now? BorgQueen (talk) 09:40, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

It looks alright now, thanks. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 17:19, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Why haven't the original photos been added?
