[edit]

@Adamstom.97: Add archive links to the appropriate sources using the iabot tool; Also there are 5 URLs that are redirects, update them. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 12:31, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking on this review Vestrian24Bio. I ran the IABot tool to see what had been missed and the only sources it picked up were video and podcast sources. I didn't see the redirecting URLs using the link classifier tool, do you have another way of identifying those? - adamstom97 (talk) 13:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This might help... Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 13:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the link, I have updated the redirects except for this URL which was already marked as dead. - adamstom97 (talk) 14:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]


  • Add an alt text to the infobox image.
  • In the "Cast and characters" sub-sections, it should be "Main" and "Recurring".
  • Shouldn't young Galadriel be placed next to Galadriel with an increased indent...
  • The "Design" section should be renamed as "Production design".
  • References (as of this rev)
    • Are refs 100, 103, 106, 112 and 133 needed? (tweets and YT) couldn't they be replaced by a better source.
      • I have removed 103 as that info was already covered, and I have replaced 112 and 133 with better sources. 100 and 106 may be videos on YouTube but they are direct interviews with the creative team and have some good bits that aren't covered by other sources. - adamstom97 (talk) 16:43, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Are refs 15, 52, 175, 176, 201, 252, 295-4 and 298-4 reliable? couldn't they be replaced by a better RS.
      • I have removed or replaced all of these except for 201, as Mendelson is a good source for commentary who is covered by the SME exception at WP:FORBESCON, and 176/252 which are both reliable sources per WP:ROLLINGSTONECULTURE (they don't fall under the other Rolling Stone sections marked as not reliable at WP:RSPS). - adamstom97 (talk) 16:43, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Refs 265, 315 and 317 are unreliable.
  • Bayona's image should be kept adjacent to the 3rd paragraph instead of the 2nd.
  • Instead of {{Main|List of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power characters{{!}}List of ''The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'' characters}}, it could be {{Main|List of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power characters|l1 = List of ''The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'' characters}}.

I have responded to each point above. - adamstom97 (talk) 16:43, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]



  • Remove the redundant "upright" option from 4 images (Bayona, Vickers, Colbert and Clark).
    • It isn't redundant, it reduces the size of the images so they are not the default width. This is standard for images that are taller/narrower than others, such as portraits, as discussed at MOS:UPRIGHT and H:PICTURES. Removing the option would make those 4 images look way too big compared to the rest. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Adamstom.97: The upright option works when it has a scaling factor defined (|upright=scaling factor). but, currently none of them have a scaling factor defined and that kind of usage has been deprecated, so it does nothing, so... Vestrian24Bio 10:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      • I see, MOS:UPRIGHT says it is deprecated to avoid confusion. It does actually work on a technical level, just putting "upright" 100% reduces the image size to 0.75 of the standard. But if it is deprecated in the sense that it is discouraged, I can use the explicit alternative |upright=0.75 to achieve the same end result while avoiding any confusion. - adamstom97 (talk) 11:49, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add alt texts to all images.
  • Vickers's image should be kept adjacent to the 2nd paragraph instead of the 1st.
  • Last sentence of second paragraph in the casting section, where they were portrayed by Harry Sinclair, Peter McKenzie, and Mark Ferguson respectively.
  • newcomer Ian Blackburn - what does newcomer supposed to mean...
  • In the "Cultures of Middle-earth" section, Avery designed the city of Númenor in three layers... - 1) initial Elvish-inspired architecture; 2) "anti-Elvish" changes; which is the third layer?
    • the sentence has three parts: Avery designed the city of Númenor in three layers: (1) initial Elvish-inspired architecture; (2) more "Mannish" designs as the Númenóreans developed their own culture; and (3) "anti-Elvish" changes since the Númenóreans cut ties with Elves. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the "Production controversies" section, 16,200 days of stunt work - clarify.
  • The entire second paragraph of the "Production controversies" section has only one ref.
    • The paragraph is about that Guardian story and Amazon's response to it. There are other sources that picked up on the report but I didn't see any that added anything that we would want to include here. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why the title on {{Infobox album}} isn't italicized?
    • We had to set the italic_title option to no because it was trying to override the season infobox, and forgot to manually adjust the title in the album infobox so it was still italicised. I have fixed this now. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • First paragraph of the "Marketing" section, how many views did the Super Bowl teaser have in 24 hours - 80.34M or 257M?
