Comments
1.
 * Is there a reason Tolkien is italicized in "Tolkien character" in the infobox? When I see Tolkien italicized, I think of the recent biopic.
 * Gone. It was in the "Series" parameter for some reason.


 * The adaptations section isn't summarized in the lead, it can probably be added by a brief sentence stating that he was a character in the Bakshi, Rankin/Bass, and Jackson films.
 * Added.


 * " and were laid to rest among the Kings of Gondor in Rath Dínen, then moved to lie next to Aragorn" - Link Aragorn here instead of in the next section
 * Done.

2.
 * Accessdates for refs 9 and 10
 * Done.


 * "Kalimac Brandagamba" is in the infobox, but isn't cited or referenced anywhere.
 * Tidied up the list.


 * Ditto with Holdwine of the Mark.
 * Ditto.

 * I remember there being something about the character of Merry changing in the early drafts to the published history, I think he was actually named "Marmaduke" at first. Is this worth adding in your opinion?
 * He was. Not sure really; it's a bit "fifty fascinating funny facts" unless we have some point to make about it. Happy to put it in if you think it necessary.
 * Probably best to leave it out; the drafting history isn't really significant except for maybe Aelfwine and a few similar things. Not really important here.
