Will review shortly

Comments
  • Lede should be expanded
  • "He is recognized as a national hero, and a unique medal and award was named in his honour." this is very vague: Why is he a 'national hero'? What is the award, the metal? Who recognizes him?
  • recommend removing the wikisource link about his father and replacing with a red-link, I don't think we usually link cross-project like that
  • 'early life' is really about his family.
  • link First Lord of the Admiralty
  • It's unclear whether he passed his officer's exam in November 1842 or earlier
  • "for nine months" when?
  • "Stanhope served on HMS Warspite," when? How long?
  • "as he was ready to risk his life to help others." this is kind of vague, could you put it into a more encyclopedic voice?
  • what makes genealogy.links.org/links-cgi/readged?/home/ben/camilla-genealogy/current+c-stanhope2045+2-2-0-1-0 (ref #1) a reliable source?
  • what makes www.pdavis.nl/ShowBiog.php?id=1111 (ref # 5) a reliable source?
  • Doug, I'm struggling to see what makes Stanhope notable outside of the award named after him. He certainly was a hero, and there's stuff to be said about his life, but I don't see any reason this article couldn't be merged into Stanhope Medal with little loss of sourced content. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the matter. Eddie891 Talk Work 00:56, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Eddie891: Yes, I do believe the Stanhope article could be merged into Stanhope Medal to make just one larger article. I would be glad to do that and I don't see it being much of a problem, since I am familiar with both articles that I created. What is the next step then we should do here?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
