 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, all hooks cited (ALT0 is by far the best and ALT1 is the second-best). Some slight close paraphrasing. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  21:33, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * @Jakob I tried changing as much as I could, but there are some words that I just can't alter that are being pinged as "paraphrasing". For example the date he enlisted in the Army, his role at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary and in the Army as Sergeant in the Military Police, and the word IED, etc. Mchuedem (talk) 22:24, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
