Most of this implicitly focuses on the Lord of the Rings, which is rightfully the focus, but
Tolkien's posthumously published works are a different kettle of fish when it comes to prose style. There are a couple of mentions of The Silmarillion here, but I think they deserve to be grouped in a section
757:
Something that relates to item 4 but doesn't explicitly fall under the GA rubric is the general ordering of topics could use a more deliberate plan. The "Initial hostile reception" along with everything from "Simple but varied" to the end of the article (including
Rosebury's reply) mostly concerns
572:
The contrast between earlier and later perspectives is over-emphasized and framed too much as a contest. The emphatic phrasing "systematically rebuts
Stimpson's attack" is not impartial. As already mentioned, it should definitely not be the first statement of the lede. It doesn't even necessarily
758:
language itself (syntax/diction). There is another theme on the use of langauge as a tool for characterization, which includes most of "Hobbits as mediators of the heroic" through "Distinctive individuality". Grouping sections accordingly would make the article more digestible.
770:
I do not find the article to presently meet the GA standard, but the potential is there. While the problems are not severe, they are not necessarily trivial to solve. It you prefer, I am content to consider it "on hold" without a particular deadline for now.
585:
it would be better not to define a section by hostility. After describing
Stimpson's views, Rosebury's reply should immediately follow rather than being somewhere else entirely. This dovetails with a concern I will detail in item 7.
573:
need to be the first thing in the body just because the criticisms were early chronologically. I would rather inform the reader about what some characteristics of the prose actually are before talking about detractors.
428:
Stating that "The 2014 A Companion to J. R. R. Tolkien in particular marked
Tolkien's acceptance in the literary canon" without a secondary source to that effect may not be consistent with
403:, 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).
251:
I do not note any errors along these lines. Many of the sentences carry multiple clauses, which could be broken into more discrete units of thought, but this is not a requirement for GA.
54:
400:
749:
At a minimum, the issues in 1b. and 4. need to be addressed before reaching GA status. There is substantial high-quality content here, so I look forward to seeing it refined.

The original source of the image does not carry licensing information, but the artist has apparently confirmed to the WMF that it is available under CC BY-SA 4.0

by starting with a neutral description of the topic. Instead it begins with a statement that it has been criticized. (Which I will further address in item 4.)
77:
59:
676:
133:
370:
I particularly appreciate the clear demarcation of primary and secondary sources. This appears to be a common practice in
Tolkien-related articles.

Guidelines for fiction are followed, relying on secondary sources and avoiding in-universe perspective.
