Good Article review progress box

This one seems fun! Glad to snag one of yours that has a focus on Tolkien-as-linguist. (I know linguistics wasn't exactly its own field distinct from philology yet, but you get what I mean!) Remsense诉 12:35, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks! As usual, probably best to keep the table for short summaries, and any longer comments in a separate list, seems to be easiest that way. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:51, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Do you mean swapping out the box above with a table? I'm happy to do so if you'd prefer that. You're also free to strike/address my points in whatever manner is most comfortable. Remsense诉 13:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- No, quite the opposite. Your layout now is just right. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:33, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

First pass
editI can be very "hands-on" as a reviewer, while not getting carried away of course—if you disagree with any of my tweaks, you're free to revert them. Naturally, anything I think is truly important will be explicated here for discussion.
- Noted.
- Ticking off the "first-pass criteria" (2a; 2d; 5; 6)! I always really like how you take advantage of diagrams and other graphics in your articles; I think more writers should do so, as 'twould improve many a prose-centered article.
- Thank you!
- One preliminary question: what is the best style to adopt for Elvish text throughout? My instinct is to wrap them in
{{tlit}}
, which tags them as a transliteration of a non-English language. I am gratified to see that some of Tolkien's languages have codes in ISO 639, so we don't even need to worry about tagging them asmis
for a miscellaneous language. Remsense诉 13:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)- Yes, we can do that; several articles use {{lang|qya|...}} which seems to do the standard thing. Added tags.
