• The article was created just yesterday and is long enough and well-cited. The hook is insteresting and referenced, but I think the whole article relies a bit too much on primary sources, i.e. the AWM itself. Some more secondary sources to stress the importance and popularity of this particular object wouldn't hurt. Alternatively you could present something about the Man in the Mud from Hutchings' book which you presented in the "further reading" section but didn't quote anywhere else in the article.

• @De728631: Thanks for that assessment and your comments. I've expanded the article using Hutchings' book (which has about 3 pages of text on the work) and a newspaper story, and I hope that this addresses your concerns about sourcing. Nick-D (talk) 05:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

• Good work there. The article is ready to go. De728631 (talk) 12:08, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
