Reviewer: Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 05:18, 12 January 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Needs a copyedit

   B. MoS compliance:

   Lead too short; it needs to summarize the entire article

I expanded the lead, I was keeping it concise as it's not a very long article.

1. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   Need a location and date for ref. 19 and a location for many of the refs.

I was told this was optional, but have added in locations.

1. B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   fact tags added where needed

   C. No original research:

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   What about his family life? Did he ever marry, have kids or was he a bachelor his whole life?

Married to the same woman for 46 years (till his death), no children.

1. B. Focused:

   Why was he facing mandatory retirement in 1962?

Navy was having a drawdown, I'll pick up the book again and go more specific.

1. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

2. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

3. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Needs a picture. Surely you can find an official photo of the guy.

Found one, scanned it, Navy photo from 1944

1. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

I'm a little confused by the turnover of the PT boats to the South Koreans. Was he in charge of the training team for them or what?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
