Thank you for Pioneer helmet was made for battle. Utilitarian in design, it was discovered along with a pattern welded sword in the Anglo-Saxon grave of a man of about 25. Yet as plain as it is—compare it with the Coppergate helmet, which is almost identical in its underlying structure but much richer—it is both rare and significant. The helmet’s 1997 discovery marked only the fourth time an Anglo-Saxon helmet had been unearthed, and the boar atop its crest evokes the world of the epic Beowulf, a tale that lies in the ephemeral haze between fiction and reality." - Have my June pic, as a little token of thanks for the steady flow of quality articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:54, 1 June 2018 (UTC) Guilden Morden boar etc.Hello!

Hi Usernameunique; thought of you today when I visited the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds and saw the Pioneer Helmet. There was a good bit of information about it, so I think visitors will realise it was something worth noticing. It was great to see it up close after reading about it on Wikipedia. It was in a very dark case, though, so I don't think I wouldn't have been able to take a better picture than the one currently used in the Wikipedia article...

John Doubleday (restorer)Rather than talk on the FAC page, I thought it better to bring the discussion here. I'm afraid that, through no fault of yours, the FAC is something of a poster child for FACs languishing at the bottom of the list. We could discuss it all day, but I would not have been happy promoting right now, and I suspect neither would the other coordinators. And the fact that it has been there over two months means that we have to call a halt sometime. But an archived nomination is hardly an albatross, and I think that a restarted nomination is the best course of action, and will probably bring more review. If those who supported before do so again, that is fine, and we may get a little more commentary, which would be needed for promotion. I can even add a note to the top of the page when you renominate to explain why it was archived (and had this not been open for more than two months, the comments it received would not have meant that we needed to archive, it could have sat for longer.)

Four Award
Thank you for the article, TFA today, "a gilded piece of metal that would fit in the palm of your hand, is seemingly ripped from the charred pages of the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf. It was found in Gevninge, a coastal Danish village by Lejre, the contemporary royal capital and thought to be the site of the fabled mead hall Heorot. Beowulf’s trip to the hall takes him by such an outpost, where a “noble warrior”, brandishing a spear, rides down to meet him. If ever there were an artifact that one could imagine as singularly identifiable with a place and a person in Beowulf, the Gevninge helmet fragment is it."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:29, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

She's married to a rabbi and, oddly, she knows Tony Kushner and her husband has connections with the Jewish archive at Southampton University - his father's papers are deposited there. If she can't give us a definitive answer (all OR of course), no one can! All the best. KJP1 (talk) 13:29, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

This rich helmet is crafted so finely as to depict its owner’s face; it is so fine, in fact, that it is unlikely its owner would have risked damage to it for anything other than combat. Between the endpoints of its tumultuous modern history—dug from the earth by looters, only to be placed back underground to protect it from them—the helmet has gained some international attention, but remains an overlooked gem." - Happy to have the pictured DYK on the same page ;) - Jörg Streli, I couldn't make it to his funeral, so wrote an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerda Arendt (talk • contribs) 07:25, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
Now a TFA-to-be: congrat to the colossus as FA, - another FAC I had planned to comment ... - When should that appear? - The Germans will have architecture by Streli's colleague tomorrow, pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:13, 11 April 2019 (UTC) And another TFA: "The Benty Grange helmet is unique. Its horn-and-iron construction is like no other Anglo-Saxon helmet; its use of myriad decorative techniques on a single ornamental object is unparalleled by any other Anglo-Saxon object, let alone helmet; and in a syncretic display emblematic of the slow spread of Christianity across pagan Britain, its boar-crest looks down at a cross on the nasel. It would have been a sight to behold in its day. The helmet may have been discovered 170 years ago, but is sparsely published; the most in-depth treatment was only prepared as part of an effort to study another helmet. This article thus pulls from multiple sources to create what is the most comprehensive take on the helmet available." - Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:36, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Its rich construction of silver, gold, and garnets, only hints at the likely richness of the helmet it once adorned; even the richest Anglo-Saxon helmets yet known, from Sutton Hoo and Staffordshire, have more rudimentary crest terminals than the Horncastle fragment. This 40 mm (1.6 in)-long fragment was purchased for £15,000, and is now on display in Lincolnshire"! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
Jennifer Foster is an English scholar of prehistoric and medieval archaeology. She teaches at the University of Reading,[1] and has published three monographs, one on Iron Age and Roman boar figurines,[2] one on the Lexden tumulus,[3] and one an introduction to European archaeology before the Roman conquest, based on the collection in the British Ashmolean Museum.[4] In a 1995 article she argued that Iron Age metalsmiths in Britain might have been itinerant rather than having a fixed abode, and would produce groups of goods at single sites like Gussage All Saints, Dorset.[5] Publications
