I'll be glad to take this one. Comments to follow in the next 1-5 days. -- Khazar2 (talk) 19:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

This appears at first pass to be your usual excellent work. I have two suggestions below, but this is seems ripe for promotion. I'll do some final checks in a moment. As usual, I've made some minor tweaks as I went; please check that I haven't accidentally introduced any errors, and feel free to revert anything you disagree with.

"The family name was originally spelled without the final "e"; Melville chose to add it" -- not a necessary point for GA, but you might consider moving this out of the regular references and into an explanatory footnote.
"homely features of Arrowhead into several stories" -- "homely" may be a mildly confusing word to use here; its most common definition is "unattractive", but I'm guessing you mean something like "domestic" here. Perhaps you might just say "features" and avoid the issue altogether. I don't think this is a problem for GA status, though. -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:01, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, thanks. I usually don't bother with separate "Notes" sections if there are only one or two short footnotes. Thanks for reviewing! Magic♪piano 14:48, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. I made a trip to Arrowhead about fifteen years back, and had a great time; it was a nice surprise to see it pop up on the list. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:50, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
