 * Review underway. Long enough and new enough.
 * Symbol question.svg One problem is the hook fact needs a citation in the article at the sentence. MB 18:53, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Done.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:41, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Article is neutral, well cited, no copyvio or plagiarism detected. Hook meets requirements and is acceptable. QPQ review done. However, perhaps this is more "catchy":
 * ALT1 ... that Albert Pierce Taylor, author of Under Hawaiian Skies, failed to fight the Spanish in Cuba but succeeded in the Philippines?

 * In my opinion, it just sounds weird? Maybe let just let the promoter decide?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:02, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg OK, that's fine. Since ALT1 is in the running, someone else should review that hook. MB 05:09, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg - reviewing ALT1 I see in the source Taylor was in active service in the Philippines and returned to Honolulu, Nov. 16, 1899. I am assuming this is the reference for ALT1 - if so, then should the inline reference be in the article directly behind the sentence ...he enlisted and fought in the Philippines. Or if I am mistaken, please point out to me that it is already referenced and I will review ALT1?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:48, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It is added.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:20, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 Good To Go. The rest of review per MB.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:34, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
