... that the Irish
bog bodyGallagh Man preserves the remains of a first century BC man, who was six-foot tall, around 25-year-old, dark haired man, and was either strangled during a
ritual killing or executed as a criminal?
Review. The article is 5x expanded. It is long enough, interesting to read and well cited. Earwig copyvio indicates copyvio is unlikely and repeats appear to be of book titles. QPQ is not required as this is the first nomination. Pic is fine, CC 2.0. The hook is inaccurate and needs to be altered. It says that he was ritually killed, whereas the article gives that as an option or put to death as a common criminal. The hook could be reworded to include both possibilities, the words ritual killing removed or other hooks offered. If adding new hooks ensure that those same words are used in the article and referenced at the end of that sentence.

[1][2]
The refs are helpful, they are using the term Iron Age. I've added that to Alt1 because we don't know in which century he died. The QPQ machine didn't work when I tried it at the start of this review, I think QPQ is the only thing left now.
