Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards for more information about this and other article standards.

"Rosebury shows that Tolkien simultaneously builds up a detailed picture of Middle-earth, on a journey through a series of tableaux of places realistic enough for readers to love, and goes on a quest to save Middle-earth by destroying the Ring." → The sentence is too long and it's hard to figure out what two things are occurring simultaneously.
- Edited.
"Orwell and Golding to T. H. White and C. S. Lewis, with Rosebury's search for parallels among the Modernists such as Proust, Joyce, and Eliot" → The authors mentioned should all have their first names given too. Not all the readers will be familiar with them, well-known as they are.
- Done. Painful!
J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia → J. R. R. Tolkien Encyclopedia
- Done.
Any link or gloss for what VII is?
