I will be reviewing this article. Comments forthcoming... – VisionHolder « talk » 16:49, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Excellent article! I have very few issues to make before passing it.

  • Bloch is listed as a reference and mentioned in the text, but is not actually referenced using notes. Is there a reason?
  • The entire book is dedicated to the topic of the circumcision ritual in Imerina. I didn't put a citation in the notes because I understood that was only done when a particular page range was to be noted, and in this case I believe it's more informative to direct readers to the whole book.
  • "...although in recent years offerings of meat have been replaced with a symbolic silver coin and other gifts." – How recent? Approximately when did this start? Does the source say?
  • I haven't been able to find a source that provides a time frame for this. The coins used are traditionally piastres, which were already available on the island in Andriamanelo's time but exceedingly rare in the highlands until about 200 years later. But including anything in the article about that at this point sounds like original research. I'll keep my eyes peeled for that information, though, and add it if I find it.

That's all for now. – VisionHolder « talk » 19:09, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
