Louis Dreller

 * ... that Louis Dreller was decorated by both the United States and Brazil for designing and building World War II warships?

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Hi Lagrange613, review follows: article created 6 January; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written (I prefer strict chronological order but that is personal preference); article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no copyright violations or overly close paraphrasing noticed from a spot check; hook is interesting enough,; sources are inaccessible to me, but I am happy to AGF that they support the hook as per the quotes provided above; QPQ has been carried out.  The only minor note I want to make is that "designing and building" might be misconstrued as applying to both decorations: the extracts above seem to suggest his US decoration was for building and overhauling ships only and the Brazilian decoration was for design only.  However I can't find a satisfactory way to rephrase it and I am probably just over thinking it - Dumelow (talk) 16:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hello, I came to promote this, but there's a "See Also" section without any content in it. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Narutolovehinata5. It used to link to List of Jewish American generals and admirals since deleted.  I removed the section - Dumelow (talk) 07:39, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
