 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, and sufficiently expanded. Clearly and neutrally written (with allowances for the rank terminology!) A good number of references. I was able to see the periodical references at Google Books but not the Rif Winfield book; the references I was able to see supported the article and I did not see any plagiarism or overly close paraphrasing. Several things referenced to Winfield are also in The Naval Chronicle. So AGF on the refs I could not check. However, as regards the referencing of the hook, I see The Naval Chronicle saying two of his brothers, not "[all] his brothers", and what I see here (ref. 10, Monthly Magazine) is that his grandson was a midshipman. Does that count as a naval officer? Yngvadottir (talk) 18:33, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * To avoid possible misunderstanding, I have amended the hook slightly to 'two brothers'. Jonathon Faulknor (the even younger, I suppose) was commissioned a lieutenant on 25 March 1813 (here is his entry in the list of promotions at the time), making him an officer.

 * Excellent! Add that to the sentence about the grandson, and the hook will be completely supported and can get its tick :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 04:56, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Now added. Benea (talk) 19:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Good to go! (I changed it to became an officer so the hook referencing is now all sewn up; AGF on Winfield book.) Yngvadottir (talk) 19:55, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
