- ... that before becoming director of the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Dominic Tweddle helped excavate the Coppergate helmet (pictured), and published a chronology of post-Roman helmet types? Source: Tweddle 1992 is all about the excavation. Per Härke 1993, Tweddle wrote "a wide-ranging survey, from Pictland to Kiev, of post-Roman helmet types, their distributions and their dating."

The text of the article, which I believe is what counts, is five times expanded. Well-cited throughout, neutrally written, no signs of copyvio. Hook is cited to two online sources — one written by the subject of the article, but a reliable source not self-published, so I see no objection. I do have a quibble with the link to Late Roman ridge helmet, which is surely off-topic? That link would perhaps be better left out when this comes to be promoted, or we might say "post-Roman helmet types"? QPQ done, image is licensed. Moonraker (talk) 10:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- Happy with either version. The Coppergate helmet is a stylistic derivative of late Roman ridge helmets, so I don't think the link is off topic. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:27, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
