  • The article explicitly says this accident did not end his military service, A1, A3 are out. EEng 06:44, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
I missed off the word active; added now. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 12:49, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Article is new enough and long enough. Neutrally written, cited inline to reliable sources, and free of copyvios (the tool flags some things, but they are common enough phrases that I cannot fault their use). Hooks are all cited inline and supported by the cites, but I much prefer the original hook. GTG. Vanamonde (talk) 17:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
