Can you word differently that something like this boar is mentioned in the poem? Don't be too sure that readers will know who
Beowulf is, and if they don't know, mentioning him doesn't make the hook attractive. I find the "doubled-up skeleton" most interesting, however - even after reading - don't know what that is ;) - Article: I am used to the lead a summary of what comes in detail, no sources needed for things referenced later. A quotation, however, would need a source, such as "doubled-up skeleton". --

ALT4 is another take on ALT0, gets rid of "could have" and adds a description of
Beowulf. I'd also be completely happy with ALT2 ("doubled-up skeleton") instead, however: whatever you prefer. (I presume "doubled-up skeleton" means a skeleton in fetal position, but it is never clarified beyond that
296:
Substantial facts, on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and clarifies what it is. I added "pictured" to the first hook. Please copy to all other active proposals. - Thank you for supplying many choices. I am no friend of "could have", sorry.

Foster 1977a: ".It is possible that the
Guilden Morden boar is also from a helmet, as the pin and socket in its legs may suggest. It would then be another example of the well-known Germanic tradition, evidenced by various references in Beowulf, of boar figurines as helmet

Sounds good, thank you! I've revised and shortened the lead to make it more concise and remove the overly technical details. Hopefully that's what you had in mind. (Kept the lead citations for personal preference, as I'd rather over- than under-cite.)
347:
Thank you, I like ALT4! - The lead - not a requirement, just a suggestion - is not there yet, - what we have there reads more like a section "Description". Perhaps write a summary? Otherwise just leave it but duplicate the ref right after the quotation.

To clarify re: the article, are you suggesting taking out the citations beyond the one supporting the quotation? --
