 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Wikilink 'Captain' in lede
 * Done --Kumioko (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * 'However after an extensive review, in 2000, his medal was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.' - Don't need the first comma.
 * Done --Kumioko (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * 'where he led an amphibious assault on a Japanese pillbox in which he was subsequently killed.' - One doesn't lead an amphibious assault, and this needs to be rewritten. Did you mean that he took part in an amphibious assault, during which he led an attack on a pillbox and was killed in the process? Despite the MoH citation there below, rewriting and adding context is vital for the reader.
 * Done - I completely rewrote the section and expanded the content. --Kumioko (talk) 03:35, 12 January 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 'While at UCLA, he was a four sport athlete' - What were these four?
 * Done - I could only find mention of 3 of them. --Kumioko (talk) 02:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Last section of second para of Biograpphy is uncited, needs a cite to pass.
 * Done --Kumioko (talk) 02:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Suggest restructuring article - divide it into 'Early life', 'WWII service and death' and then integrate the MoH/DsC section into it.
 * Done - I restructured it a little different than sugested but I think it meets the request.--Kumioko (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * In addition to the items listed above I did a number of other things to improve the article including the following.
 * I added more refs, deleted some weak or broken ones, added some inline citations and cleaned up some.
 * I restructured the awards section.
 * I added more content, fixed some prose and reworded a few things.
 * I added alt text. --Kumioko (talk) 02:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Note: The original reviewer, Skinny, was reported as sick, and the first editor reportedly has left wikipedia. Kumioko, who contributed to the article, made changes per Skinny's review. I have reviewed the changes, made some grammatical and punctuation fixes, etc., and passed the article. Auntieruth55 (talk) 23:41, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
