See what the criteria are and what they are not

1) Well-written

1a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct

1b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation

2) Verifiable with no original research

2a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline

2b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)

2c) it contains no original research

2d) it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism

3) Broad in its coverage

3a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic

3b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style)

4) Neutral:

4) Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each

5) Stable:

5) Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute

6) Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio

6a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content

6b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

Overall:

@Chiswick Chap: I am starting this review. Happy to collaborate with you again! I'll be publishing comments from my first read-through over the next couple of days. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 19:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks, I think you'll find everything in order and solidly cited, but as usual will work through any issues with you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments from first read-through:

@Chiswick Chap: Honestly, the article is very well written and I haven't found any major things that would prevent a GA. In terms of media being used throughout the article, validating that criteria right away! I do have a couple of thoughts, which are as follows:

Tolkien's Artwork

Citation #1 is used roughly 4 times in the same paragraph. Technically, there is no need for this per WP:WHENNOTCITE. Would having citations #1 and #2 both at the end of the paragraph work?

Done.

Contradictory opinions

Such a great table! I really like that it summarizes the last paragraphs in just 3 rows. We should have more articles with such great visual elements!

• Thank you.

Mary Fairburn, 1968

Fairburn lost many of the illustrations in repeated house moves; nine survive, of which one, a coloured painting of "Galadriel at the Well in Lórien" came into Tolkien's possession. Did you mean survived here?

Could be either; they are still extant.

Other GA requirements:

Thanks! That checks out spelling-related criteria. I like that the article is written from a proper NPOV and addresses the critical response of Tolkien's art adaptations.

Running IABot, Copyvio detector and reFill, no major issues found for the citations. Conducting a random spot-check of the sources for verifiability, no issues found either, checking out all citation-related criteria. I'll be finishing off my review tomorrow.

Checking the article's history, no concerns about stability. All media has appropriate copyright tags.

@Chiswick Chap: This concludes my review of the article.
