Yes, Hoxne Hoard became a Featured Article, and a very fine one, but it took a while longer than a week! This remains one of the most successful editathons ever, and was a lot of fun. Thanks to all participants, on the day or later, and to the British Museum and all their staff who contributed! As of May 2013, there is a Featured Article in the French Wikipedia, effectively a translation of this, and another long translation in Italian, as well much shorter versions in Arabic, Persian, Danish and Simple English. Friday, June 25th, 2010
Meeting point at the British Museum great court information desk. See the Museum's getting here" instructions for transport information. Why Hoxne Hoard?This is a high importance article, with high popular awareness and copious published sources and readily available experts at the BM, but it is of very low quality on Wikipedia (see also WP:GLAM/BM#Qualitative). Nevertheless, the article was one of the highest individual referral articles to the British Museum website last month. The complete hoard is held at the British Museum and most of the scholarly resources about it were produced by museum staff. It has featured in both the Our Top Ten Treasures and A History of the World in 100 Objects (item 40) series.
