Overall: Well referenced article and extremely interesting. Prefer the original hook as I think Mud Angel Army is more intriguing than calling the woman a Mud Angel. Perhaps wikilink Arno River in hook but don't feel strongly about it. Great job! Dwkaminski (talk) 17:43, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Churches, museums and libraries, all filled with works of art, were inundated with mud"
