Art of the Hobbit; fig. 12; p. 35; Thorin’s letter to Bilbo: I am more inclined to include it, but I am on the fence about this as well. I agree with waiting to see what the others think.

CE-EX-35.5: Aiwendil's change looks good to me.

CE-EX-37: I agree with Fin's analysis. It is what I had assumed when reading the original text. Since his reworking makes it more clear, I agree to...

The earliest map in BoLT: Ahh, re-reading your original post I see what your plan is with this map. That makes sense to me. If you don't rebuild the map of Valinor to agree with Map V, the...

I agree with your choice of the three maps you think are set. As for the other maps:

CE-EX-25 and CE-SL-11: Agreed

CE-EX-26: The languages are not my strong suit, so I'll defer to you and agree.

CE-01: Yes, we should definitely include CE-EX-03

CE-EX-06: Looks good. I would simply remove CE-EX-24, especially since it has no basis in Tolkien's writings.

CE-01: If both of Aiwendil's suggestions are valid, I suppose we must choose for stylistic reasons. I prefer the first suggestion, starting with AAm.

Wow, sounds like an exhaustive amount of work! Great job! Adding the White Mountains, the Hithaeglir and the Anduin River all sound reasonable. You're right, fixing Beleriand probably makes the most...

The Magic Isle & Tol Eressėa: Yes, keep Tol Eressėa, I was sloppy in my response.

I'm glad we are including the Third Age material. To those comments I don't respond to, I agree:

I'm not saying ours would be a summary of an in-universe Lammas, but that it would be based on the in-universe text. In which case additional material about the Third Age has been added to it. Maybe...

LO-18: OK, I get it now.
