This ethny is small, and there is just one ethnography, but it is a well-known ethnography, and the culture is included in the Standard cross-cultural sample. For a small group, a short article should be sufficient, as long as it contains the right information. I think one question the peer review should address: does this article contain the right information. -- Anthon.Eff 17:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
There is a good deal more written about the Kwoma than this short article states. The one other ethnography is "Yena: Art and Ceremony in a Sepik Society," by Ross Bowden, Pitt Rivers Museum Press, 1983. Bowden has published a number of articles on the Kwoma, as have I. The current article does need rewriting. It is incorrect to refer to the women as "females," since young children were all gendered female; nor to men as "males," since elderly women were gendered male. Also, the Kwoma never were headhunters; they despised their river neighbors who were. There is other misinformation as well.
