Ian Meadows (archaeologist)
edit
The Pioneer helmet
- ... that within two years, Ian Meadows discovered both the first conclusive evidence for viticulture in Roman Britain, and the Anglo-Saxon Pioneer helmet (pictured)? Many sources for both. E.g., Meadows 1996, Scott 2011a/2011b, and Chester Farm for first evidence of viticulture, and Saraceni 1997 for Pioneer helmet.

5x expanded by Usernameunique (talk). Self-nominated at 09:24, 6 May 2018 (UTC).
New enough (5x expansion began 4 edits ago on 6 May 2018), long enough (2,725 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, verified against online source. Image on Commons, has an appropriate licence. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:40, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: Looking at this article before promoting the hook, I find a statement about seven vineyards followed by the enumeration of eight. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:15, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth, fixed the math. Would it be overkill for this to run on June 1? That's when Pioneer helmet will be TFA, but I understand if that would be seen as decreasing the diversity of the main page. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- I don't see why it shouldn't run the same day, but without the image which will presumably be used with the TFA blurb. I will move the nomination to the special holding area. Incidentally, as we are having quite a few related archaeology hooks, I would tend to only use the image when it is the main subject of the hook rather than peripheral to the hook, so that our readers don't get helmet fatigue!
