... that the skull thought for almost 200 years to belong to the revered poet Friedrich Schiller was shown to be someone else's in 2008?

One could use a picture of Schiller, such as this one.--Carabinieri (talk) 11:45, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Article length and date check out, was moved to mainspace from sandbox on 22 March. Its an interesting hook, the article is well cited, and the hook is supported by the reference from the New York Times. Image suggestions are generally required to be used in the article however. A minor point, I'm not a 100% about the use of 'revered' in the description, which seems a bit of a value judgement, although I am sure it is true for some. Benea (talk) 23:57, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
