1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Lead Should "authorized" and "magisterial" be in quotation marks? For single words? I don't think that's really necessary; if we add quotes we'd need to repeat the citations as well, and that frankly doesn't seem necessary or appropriate here. Book "For each area the history of the land is taken into account, as well as geography on a larger scale and from there maps are drawn." This sentence doesn't quite make sense, perhaps rephrase slightly? Would this work: "For each area, the history of the land is taken into account, as well as geography on a larger scale; from there, the maps are drawn." * Done.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Lead sections The lead section of this article is quite short. I'd suggest adding something in the first para from the "Approach" and "Content" subheadings. * Done. Layout Wikilink Journeys of Frodo and remove from the "See also" section. Done. Words to watch None identified. Fiction Fictional settings and characters are presented appropriately. List incorporation N/A
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.	Citations and sources are in the appropriate places. Ref 6 ("The Atlas of Tolkien's Middle-earth") should be expanded into a full ref (not a GA requirement, but all of the other sources are expanded so makes sense to do so). * Updated ref.
	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).	I am happy with the reliability of the sources in the context of this article. I will check the sources which I have access to. Fonstad, Karen Wynn, 2006 Y "About the Author", The Atlas of Pern Y Danielson, Stentor (21 July 2018) "elaborate textual history" – in the source it is "detailed textual history". * Fixed. Bratman, David (2007) Y Habermann, Ina; Kuhn, Nikolaus (2011) Y Shelton, Luke (19 February 2021) Y
	2c. it contains no original research.	Primary source is cited, but only for observable factual statements about the book's contents and not for analysis or controversial statements.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Happy from source checks that there is no copyvio or plagiarism. Just FYI, Copyvio flagged a spam website page that was literally created today. It honestly looks like it was written by a bad AI. Unfortunately it has included some text from this Wiki article, so just letting you know. It will happen more and more with ChatGPT and its many admirers. Fortunately we have a complete history, and citations.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	Happy that this article covers the main aspects of the book: background, approach to mapping, maps within the book, reception to the book.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	Happy that this article stays on topic.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Article content is presented neutrally.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	Majority of recent edits are by nominator and are constructive.
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.	Images are tagged with copyright status and fair use rationales are provided for two images.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Images are relevant and captions are suitable. For the image of the Weald, because the caption mentions two geographical formations, maybe we could add "(pictured)" next to "the Weald of Kent"? Done.
	7. Overall assessment.
