"Chain Main"

[edit]

@Usernameunique: Good work on this article, I was just wondering what "chain main" meant with regards to the helmet's construction - is this a misspelling of chain mail, or another term entirely, with which I am unfamiliar. I will classify this article as a C at this point, as I would like to understand what this means before any higher classification, although it may fit the requirements of a B depending on how much information is actually available on it.

Thanks for the review @Markus1423:! I'll let you come up with a definition for "chain main"; as used it's just a typo for "chain mail," as you suggest (probably camail in the context of the helmet). What more would you be looking for to up the article to a B? It really includes everything published on the fragment, which is not much. The only thing I can think of would be to include a few lines describing "crested helmets" generally, to give a slightly broader contextual background for the typology of the Tjele fragment. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernameunique:  Done Considering the limited information that is available on this topic despite extensive references, I believe it would satisfy a B status. It is smaller than almost all other B articles but it does link to other articles with more information in general, thus keeping the article focused. Good work.
