  • Lead and infobox;
    • He negotiated the Convention of Westminster and received the Order of the Black Eagle and the Order Pour le Mérite; did he receive the honours for the negotiations? Please make it clear fixed
    • Please check the "Allegiance" parameter in infobox. The country's name is missing. fixed
    • I am sure you're well aware that "Service/branch" is for "Army, navy or the air force" Frederick moved him around as needed
    • General of Infantry; any link or modern equivalent done
    • No need of references in the infobox, because they reflect the prose ok
  • Section 1;
    • lord of several estates; by birth? not clear, removed
    • His education was imperfect; any specific reason? none given
  • Section 2;
    • Major-General; remove hyphen and also link done
    • modern equivalent for "cornet", I think it is sub-lieutenant it is in the British Army, but in the German armies, the ranks are different. I could link to Fahnrich, but that isn't right either.
    • Link grand-duchess, maid-of-honor, Count and major done
    • Frederick William is over linked done
More later ... Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 10:18, 26 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Section 2.1;
    • battle of Mollwitz; initial capitals done
    • defeated the Austrians (17 May 1741) -> defeated the Austrians on 17 May 1741 done
    • One month from this day -> A month later done
    • second war; mention in full done
    • promoted him (1745) major-general, to date from January 1743 -> was promoted to major general in 1745, with effect from January 1743 done
  • Section 3;
    • Development of military intelligence program; I think the title isn't apt, because nothing much about the program is mentioned. Better name it "Later years" it's really 7 years war....I've reworked it
    • put quotes on the saying of the king, perhaps {{quote}} would be the best option I couldn't get it to work right, simplified (took out the German)
    • any reason for transfer of the grave? none given probably Frederick William IV wanted to create grand monuments.
  • What are the copyright statuses of the designs of the memorials? GDFL etc free use posted by users
  • Do any of the references have ISBNs? 2 do, added
  • 0% confidence, violation unlikely.
