Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material before the current action must be written in past tense. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards for more information about this and other article standards.

Lots of duplinks found using the usual tool.
Removed.
"into a quest" should be "on a quest"
Done.
"Half-elf" Elf should be capitalized?
Done.
'Frodo "goes with the pain of a sad but noble decision"' doesn't parallel the structure of the earlier clause ("Bilbo's... venal motives"). It would sound better if it did.
Fixed.
The images are all licensed and used correctly.
Noted.
Just as a compliment, the article is very nicely illustrated; the medieval illustrations are used particularly well for the more abstract points.
Thank you!
The sources are all reliable and formatted correctly.
