 * 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 &bull;&#32;mail) 10:18, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * 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.
