Hello, I will be conducting this review as part of the May 2025 GA review drive. I will leave my comments within a few days. Kimikel (talk) 19:33, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Grapesurgeon: I have left my initial comments below. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding my suggestions. Thank you. Kimikel (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for the review! I left in-line responses to each point. Also note that I'm currently moving house so sometimes may have delayed responses. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 17:47, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Grapesurgeon: Thank you for the quick response. I just noticed one more thing before I finish the review: correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that Seokjojeon being "Korea's first Western-style neoclassical château" isn't in the body of the article and isn't sourced. Unless I'm mistaken and it's already there, this fact can be inserted somewhere in the description section and sourced. That should be all. Kimikel (talk) 22:19, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, good catch. I'm fairly certain that claim was in one of my sources, but it'd be tough to find which one it was in. I just adjusted it to align with body. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 22:32, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, everything looks good. Thanks for the quick responses and the quality work on this one. I'm going to pass it now; congratulations! Kimikel (talk) 22:56, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• per MOS:BOLDLEAD, I think Seokjojeon is the only significant name for this building, so the rest of the names should not be bolded.
  • Unbolded Seokjojeon Art Museum, but I think the other two are also significant names. The West Wing should be bolded because it's a prominent part of this article I think; makes clear that this article encompasses both buildings and not them separately. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 17:47, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• amenities (and Western cuisine from Antoinette Sontag). > I would just go with "There, he experienced Western-style amenities and cuisine." since Sontag doesn't have a page.
  • Respectful disagree; Sontag is notable, I may make article for her very soon. She's actually so notable that I'm surprised she has no article grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 17:47, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
