  • The article is new enough and long enough. Everything looks referenced. QPQ is done.
  • The source confirms everything except that the plane has six guns, but I was able to confirm that separately.
  • Earwig turns up a concerning amount of similar text from Veteran Tributes (which doesn't look like a reliable source)
  • The article does not need the long paragraph at the bottom quoting his award. If there's relevant information there, it should be summarized in the article with everything else. Otherwise it should be removed.
  • Personally, I would prefer if there wasn't a section with only a single sentence. It makes it look incomplete.
  • I prefer ALT1, as ALT0 is wordy and difficult to parse. I'd like the hook even better if it said "only half of his guns worked" or "half of his guns did not work" or something to that effect rather than providing exact numbers. But that's just my personal preference.
  • There are some issues to be addressed before this can be approved. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:41, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Thebiguglyalien: Regarding Veteran Tributes reliability, it seems to be well-researched in the bios of military personnel and does not seem to have an issues regarding its reliability. Other than that, should I remove the DSC citation at the bottom of the awards section? -Toadboy123 (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • At the very least, there shouldn't be a loose paragraph at the end of the article like that. But that's hardly the most significant problem here. The possible plagiarism issues need to be addressed, and Veteran Tributes has yet to be confirmed as a reliable source. Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like a personal website.
