Thanks very much for that careful copy edit @
Keith-264:. Particularly appreciate you picking up the various errors, and adding the block quotation which keeps the drawing from bumping up against the next section. Do you have a strong preference for putting all citations at the end of each sentence? At the expense of a little tidiness I generally prefer to have the citations follow the portion of the sentence they support. --

Thanks very much; I prefer citations at the end but that's a matter of preference, change them back by all means. Regards

Crest vs. mane
Theramin, responding here to the point you made about calling the "crest" of the figurine a "mane." I think the difference in terminology depends on whether you see the attribute as part of a figurine, or as part of a boar; crest is the term adopted by Foster, but mane seems equally appropriate. I have changed it to mane, which has the additional benefit of avoiding any confusion between it and boar-crested helmets. If the boar is taken for the crest of a helmet, then its mane, termed otherwise, would be the crest of a crest. Thanks for your suggestion, and for your copyedit of the rest of the article. --

Thanks. You are welcome. I might have used have used the term "crest" too, until I saw the article on
wild boar was using the word "mane". As you say, using "mane" allows us to make a useful distinction between the crest of the helmet and the crest (mane) of the boar figure.

Good Article
Interesting article about an object I probably would have never heard of otherwise. This is why I read Wikipedia every day. Eric Cable !

References
The reference 'British Museum a' is invoked nine times, but I can't see any mention at all of the Guilden Morden boar on the related webpage.

Thanks for the quick response. I somehow got it confused with the
Room 41 reference. Apologies!

No problem,
JezGrove. Naming the references "British Museum a" and "British Museum b" probably invited confusion; just renamed them "British Museum boar" and "British Museum room 41" respectively. --
