Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Thomas J. Watson.

Suggested improvements at Joe Cosley

Neat article, good work on fixing citations. Couple suggestions:

• Could really use a photo of him; any US photo prior to 1923 is out of copyright and that you could just upload to Wikimedia Commons and use. If a photo you want to use is post-1923, under WP:Fair use you can upload one copyrighted photo, not to WC but to WP itself using the "upload file" button in your left margin. Let me know if you need help figuring out photo stuff.

• The chronology is unclear, can you make it a little more specific when he became a ranger, when he was fired, when he escaped. Did all of this happen before or after he served in WWI? That's just a big inclarity in your article.

Fine work overall, just some touch-up would make it nice and strong. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:38, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
