- Pass/Fail:
- Image:Lindow Man reconstructed face.jpg: fair use rationale for the use is wrong. The image is not a logo. Also the head is on display in the British Museum [1], so the fair use rationale is not valid, a free copy can be created.

- "It is one of the most complex examples of "overkill" in a bog body" "It is one of the best preserved ancient bodies found in Britain." "Its cabinet is the most climate-controlled in the British Museum" The best and the most superlatives give a senswe of glorification. Rewrite sentences or Add something "According to X, It is one of the most complex examples of "overkill" in a bog body".

- The source I have been using does not name the 18th century writer.
- Re the image: I am unable to provide a free image and I was unable to find one online. The way I see it we have two option: WP:IAR or delete the image; while the image is not essential I believe it does improve the article and would prefer it to stay, but am prepared to remove it.

- I have removed the image. After a minor re-write, this article can pass. Please leave a note when the improvements are done. Thanks. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 13:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've deleted the image, hopefully someone will be able to provide a free one in the future. I've rewritten the sentences you highlighted. Nev1 (talk) 13:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
