QPQ: None required.

Overall: This is looking good so far, but I have one fix to ask for before I can approve this. The first couple sentences in § Architecture need to be rewritten, as they're too closely paraphrased. See the report. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:23, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

that little bit in the architecture section is a leftover from before my rewrite; fixing it now. :) sawyer * he/they * talk 04:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

rewrote that section; hopefully it should be good now! sawyer * he/they * talk 04:45, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing later (reminder for me) Geardona (talk to me?) 02:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): no huge problems I can see, auto ed came up with nothing. b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): , just did a few spot checks of the online sources, dont see any problems. b (citations to reliable sources): A few yellow sources, but nothing huge, all of the tagged yellow sources are fine. c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): ran it through earwigs It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): , the articlr leaces nothing I can think of untouched b (focused): ,, fixed by nom, sections are all consistently on topic, no huge suprises when opening a section, you can find what you need by section title. It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

The text seems to wander off in some sections.

@Geardona could you give more detailed feedback on where the text becomes unfocused? I could certainly go ahead & trim some sections (eg the veneration of hares paragraph) but I'd like to hear what specifically you think could be changed. sawyer * he/they * talk 20:02, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure!
The location section needs to be refocused a little, and possible make the thing about the namesake of the area a section.

Thanks Geardona (talk to me?) 20:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The location section is quite short - do you think it could simply be renamed to something like "location and surroundings" to more accurately reflect the contents of the section? Also, I can definitely make Melangell into a section. sawyer * he/they * talk 20:28, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, that would make the scope more defined for both! (ping me when done) Geardona (talk to me?) 20:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Geardona done! sawyer * he/they * talk 20:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
