Welcome!
Hello, Rag138, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:43, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review
Hi Rag138! Here is a summary of my peer review of your assigned article on the Cashel Man. I think you haven't started making edits yet, so this is mostly an evaluation of the article as is and suggestions about some ways to improve it.

1.The article seems a little underdeveloped overall. I think a lot of the content could be expanded, either with content from the sources already cited or from new sources. In particular, I noticed a lot of details in the lead about the discovery of the body, which could maybe be expanded into its own section since the information is already "there".

2.It's also short on sources to begin with, and some of those sources may not be totally reliable. I noticed a comment on the talk page about the claim that the Cashel Man was ritually sacrificed, which is cited from a TV documentary. Finding a reputable source for this claim, or a way to refute it, could be a helpful improvement.

3. There also aren't any images in the article. A quick google search came up with a couple different images, so this seems like it could be an area for improvement.

Hope that helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about my evaluation or anything you want further feedback on.

Rob, There are actually quite a lot of sources you can use for this article. I just did a search on Google Scholar and found these:

Kelly, Eamonn P. "The Bog Body from Cashel Bog, Co. Laois." Ossory, Laois and Leinster 5 (2012): 1-18.

Sammut, D., & Craig, C. (2018). Bog bodies: Still here in the hereafter. Chemistry in Australia, (May 2018), 18.

Mulhall, Isabella. "Banking for the Future: The National Museum of Ireland Bog Body Tissue Samples Bank." Journal of Wetland Archaeology (2020): 1-26.

I hope this helps! --Sak201 (talk) 18:46, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
