Contradiction[edit]
The lead says that Tolkien started writing it in 1919, down in the article it says 1918. --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 17:46, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Italics[edit]
@Chiswick Chap: The work may have ended up as a chapter in The Silmarillion as published by Christopher Tolkein, but as written by JRR Tolkein it was a separate manuscript. In a letter to Katherine Farrer concerning manuscripts he sent her for review he wrote "I have ventured to include besides the 'Silmarillion' or main chronicle, one or two other connected 'myths': 'The Music of the Ainur', ...". But whatever, I was merely making the title conform to the lead sentence which italicises it. SpinningSpark 10:58, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hm, yes, but Tolkien wrote many hundreds of manuscripts; the nearest comparison would be books of short stories, where each one is a separate manuscript and could indeed be a published work, say in a newspaper or magazine, but we treat the stories as un-italicised parts of a book all the same. However, the italics do make sense for Quenya, as I already said in the edit comment, so I pointedly didn't revert you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:15, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

No images to review. The Grey Book citation seems less than ideal, but per this page it's peer-reviewed, even if some of the material is submitted by undergraduates. The author appears to be a physics undergrad in this case. The material quoted is straightforward interpretation; I'm not sure this would survive at FAC, though. Sources are otherwise reliable and Earwig finds nothing but a few backward copied sentences.
- Noted.
- 'Marjorie Burns, who worked on the different versions of the "Ainulindalë"': what does "worked on" mean? I think "studied" would be better if that's the intended meaning.
- Fixed.
- Suggest combining the last two paras to avoid having one-sentence paragraphs.
