 * Now that you mention it... Maybe. Yes, maybe. If I wanted to, do I have to transfer this to a holding area or something? ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 04:06, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting article, interesting hook, long enough, (mostly) well sourced, etc. I did find one minor issue, that should be easy to fix in time for the 1st: "and was frequently exaggerated as a human with a seal body on promotional sideshow posters" is documented by a source that says this happened only two times, so this needs either rephrasing or better sourcing. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:34, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great, thanks, good to go (or in this case, good to be shunted off to a holding area?). —David Eppstein (talk) 14:51, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I have serious problems with this prompt. While the terminology "freak" was accepted at the time, it's inappropriate now. I would rather it run with something along the lines of "... that a seal boy broke into performance art after scouts found him selling newspapers?" It's just as weird as the first one, but with different terminology.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  22:41, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I suppose it's not the most respectful language. But it's in line with article titles such as freak and freak show. --BDD (talk) 22:46, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Agree with BDD. That was the name of his profession... and still is. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:59, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
