I habitually take about a week or so to get to GA reviews. If I let it get longer than that, ping me. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

• "in its detail an account of character" - not sure this is super clear.

• Edited.

• I tweaked it to "expression" rather than account, hope that's ok.

• Bit of sandwiching with Tolkien's painting and the drawing of the Bag End front hall, which looks especially awkward with the block quote between them.

• Fixed.

• I'm not sure the detail about the note from Thorin is super germane to the topic of Bag End

• Removed.

• You've got section hatnotes for Architecture in Middle-earth twice in the article, just one in an article of this length is enough I think

• Fixed.

• something that he calls "a silly phrase... a piece of "French-oriented snobbery" I think you're missing a set of end quotation marks

• Fixed.

• For the outside/unfamiliar reader, it's not clear where the Lobelia-Vita connection comes from, so the section perhaps doesn't have the impact it should. Can we maybe have a bit of context for why Tolkien would have been poking fun at Vita? Did he know her?

• Added a bit more about the Lobelia-Vita connection. One could go on for pages on this topic, and photos would be nice, but we're in some danger of WP:COATRACK. Hope this is now enough to be clear, it's a juicy topic.

• Hah! Tolkien's satire of Vita Sackville-West as a possible next project?

• Honegger points up - "points out" maybe? Not sure I've ever heard "points up" used this way

• Done.

Pretty minimal griping. I'm open to discussion on any points from above that you disagree with. Sources good, no POV or CV, in-universe stuff is described with appropriate encyclopedic distance. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
