 * Symbol voting keep.svg Good to go. Earwig checks out - 18%, highlighting quotes and job-titles etc. Long and new enough, neutral, and so on. All done on a mobile - amazing! Johnbod (talk) 16:41, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Not good to go: QPQ has not yet been submitted (see IOU) above. PFHLai, please be sure to let us know when said QPQ has been completed. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Four years is the oldest QPQ I've ever seen by a wide margin, but I don't know of any rule against submitting very old unused reviews as QPQs. I wouldn't encourage this as a habit, though. As this one doesn't date to before the QPQ era, I think it's allowable, but I would strongly urge PFHLai to do a new review anyway given our current substantial backlog. Thanks.

 * Came to promote this and was surprised to find that the "Rear-Admiral" sentence does not have a direct source in the aticle. Then agan "Vice-Admiral" does and that seems to be a higher rank? If you update the hook to Vice, or get a direct source for "rear" it can be promoted.  MPJ  -DK 22:24, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Adding icon to indicate that the nomination is not ready for promotion while hook issue is outstanding. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:53, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * (EC) The same ref is used to support that sentence regarding "rear" as well as the following sentences in the article. I have duplicated the footnote for now. I have also asked Moonraker if there is a better ref. Hope this helps. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 02:54, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
