GAN Quicksheet 1.23 SM (Criteria)

Starting comments: Here goes...

1. Well written: 
 * a. prose/copyright: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * b. MoS compliance: Pictogram resolved.svg

2. Accurate and verifiable:  Assuming good faith on the printed sources (i.e. almost everything), as I don't have access to the books you're using.
 * a. provides references: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * b. proper citation use: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * c. no original research: Pictogram resolved.svg

3. Broad in coverage:
 * a. covers main aspects: Pictogram voting delete.svg
 * You include details on Ray's second Legion of Merit but no details on his first. Considering that you gave details for both Silver Stars, and the Legion of Merit is a higher level award, I would think that the first would warrant at least a sentence or two of coverage.
 * I have added this. I think the Silver Star is actually the higher award. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * b. focused/on topic: Pictogram resolved.svg

4. Neutral:

5. Stable:

6. Image use:
 * a. license/tagging correct: Pictogram voting delete.svg
 * The source for the image, "US Navy photograph", isn't really good enough. Source is more "where did you get it from", i.e. is it scanned from a book? taken from a website? personal collection? If there is more information about the author, that also should be included.
 * Yeah, the photograph is from the my personal collection. I believe that it was one of a series of photographs of senior Naval officers taken in Australia in 1943. You can see he has his Silver Star but not yet the DSM of LoM. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I wouldn't know. I just assumed that LoM was higher because it was listed above Silver Star in the infobox.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  22:17, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * b. relevant/properly captioned: Pictogram resolved.svg

7. Additional items not required for a GA, but requested by the reviewer:
 * a. images that should have alt texts have them: Pictogram resolved.svg
 * b. general catch all and aesthetics: Pictogram resolved.svg

Comments after the initial review: Nothing too serious. Should take about 10 minutes to get this into GA shape. I like doing GAN reviews for you MilHist people, you don't make me work very hard. This is also   S ven M anguard  19:21, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
