This article, much more than 5x expanded on 18 Feb, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. Image is freely licensed and legible as a work of architecture at low resolution. QPQ provided. All hooks cited and in body. Assuming good faith for ALT0-ALT3, but ALT4 checks out. My favourite is the first hook (though ALT3 is also fun). Good to go.

I will take on this review! I typically prefer to make copyedits myself and only place comments here when I have questions, though of course as always you should feel free to change or discuss any edits you happen to disagree with. Looking forward to it! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

Comments
- The built in phonograph with 200 records is a fun detail if you want to DYK this later! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:44, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- I completed a prose pass -- I made a few small tweaks, but really, everything was great. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:44, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- All the images are great and appropriately licensed. (How great that a Wikipedian clearly went on a tour in the past!) I considered whether it would be interesting context to include an image of the Johnson Wax Headquarters, since that clearly affected Johnson's interest in building the house, but I'm not sure that there's a good spot for it. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:44, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- For the spot check I'll look at sources 3, 15, 26, 58, 74, 86, 113, 115, 117, 123, 124, 130, 132, 137, 143, 159, and 171, as numbered in this diff. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:44, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- 3, 15, 26, 58, 74, 86, 113, 115, 117, 123, 124, 130, 132, 143, and 171 all check out, no issues. A very smooth source check! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:18, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- I couldn't easily access 159 (Kinch 1981, p. 10.) so I checked 160 -- no issues. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:18, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- One thing I noticed is that this 1979 source says allowable conference topics are "International Understanding, Educational Excellence, Intellectual and Cultural Growth, and Improvement of the Human Environment" which is different from "international affairs, education family and society" in this 1994 source. My guess is that the foundation has revised its focus over the years: perhaps the most recent information could be taken from their website (per WP:ABOUTSELF)? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:18, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think that issue above is a bar to GA status, especially since it's the only point of improvement that I see. Overall, a very thorough, clear, and informative article! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:18, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
