 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. AGF French sources. But how does ALT 1:  ... that Achille Pierre Deffontaines was the youngest general in France when promoted in 1913 and was the youngest French general to die in World War I? sound? --Jakob (talk)  00:10, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for the quick review. Your alt is fine by me - Dumelow (talk) 06:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Speed Please Admin help needed. Can this be moved into a queue? 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 16:23, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Since you did not make it clear that this was a belated centenary August 26 date request, some might have missed it. I moved this to the date request section.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:45, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I moved this into the queue myself since it seemed likely to miss the deadline otherwise. I think I did everything right there, would be worth any passing DYK admin checking though.  Also I have no idea how to close this thread if someone can do that, cheers - Dumelow (talk) 07:38, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
