As a fan of J. R. R. Tolkien's wonderful creations, I'd like to GAN-review the article for Moria. -- Java Hurricane  17:03, 6 April 2020 (UTC)￼
 * Many thanks. I hope you will find the article to your liking, though the style must inevitably be neutral rather than enthusiastic! I am able to respond quickly to review comments and am used to working through issues (even on occasion substantial ones) with reviewers. I look forward to your comments.

 * , sorry for the delay! I've been busy lately, but I did go through the article for starters. A few inevitable things here and there, but I hope everything can be fixed. I'll put up my comments shortly.  Java Hurricane  09:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll fix whatever needs fixed promptly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:51, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Comments

 * Could you add a link to "Balrog" in the lede, separately of Durin's Bane?
 * Done.


 * "Scholars have identified likely sources for Tolkien's Moria: He had studied a Latin inscription [...]" - fix capital after colon.
 * Done.


 * "The West Gate that crashes closed behind the Fellowship recalled the Wandering Rocks of Greek mythology, and Odysseus's passage between the devouring Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis." - mention that it is the critics who opine so.
 * Done.


 * "Its multiple levels of tunnels and halls served, too, as the basis for a variety of computer and board games." - Have served - many such games are still around.
 * Done.


 * "Their genesis lay in the Poetic Edda, with which Tolkien was familiar; the protagonist in the Skírnismál notes that his quest will involve misty mountains, orcs, and giants." - I think that this sentence should be in "Origins" rather than "Geography".
 * Moved.


 * Wikilink to Durin VII in the paragraph above "Architecture" redirects back to Moria.
 * Removed, like his article.

And that's all I have an issue with. On hold temporarily, but I think we can pass this shortly. -- Java Hurricane  11:10, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * All done to date. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:52, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
