 * Hope there's no problem me reviewing this too? Citation needed tag needs fixing first. Are you planning on expanding, or is this as big as you want it? Sorry for the bullet Qs, review to come after responses. Best, Mat  ty  .  007  14:21, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm ready for the article to be reviewed. I spent a long time trying to find good sources with noteworthy information for Kaltenbach, so I doubt that I'll be expanding much. I'll probably be doing some editing, but nothing that would have an impact on DYK criteria. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:49, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the source added doesn't back up these sentences: Kaltenbach was born in Germany but immigrated to the United States at the age of two. He spent most of his childhood working on his family's farm or near the start of the Civil War in 1861. I merged some refs that I think were the same, you may want to check that they were. No copyvios in online refs. As far as I can tell, offline sources are genuine books. Lots of info cited to ref one I can't find in there, did you cite the right ref? Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  08:47, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * On the right side of the screen, it shows the official citation. Go up from this point and click the word biography. Clicking it will not change the URL, but it will bring down Kaltenbach's biography and the information I cited. The information I cited is all there. I'll try editing the citation to show exactly how to get to the information. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 22:56, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And I've made the edits. The listed citation for information found under the biography section of source one now contains the words "under biography tab". Spirit of Eagle (talk) 23:07, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Source doesn't specify age when he moved to USA. he was eventually paroled and was able to rejoin his unit is quite similar to source, are you able to rephrase that please? Please merge refs 1 and 3. Source doesn't say colour bearer killed. Mention his marriage? Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  11:52, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The source I cited states that Kaltenbach "was only a year or two old when the family immigrated to the Manchester area in Delaware County" (its under the biography section). I've slightly edited the article to state he immigrated at the age of one or two. I've edited the quote about receiving parole so it is less similar to the source material. Sources have been merged. Good catch on the color bearer. It states that he was "shot down", so I've edited the article to say the flag bearer was incapacitated. I've also added some language about the marriage into the article. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:24, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

No QPQ needed, no pictures, all sourced and neutral. The first ref had some info about pensions (i.e. starting at $2.00), and that he got $10 dollars extra. Worth including? Agf on offline source. Thanks, Mat  ty. 007 08:48, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I've updated the article to state that Kaltenbach started to receive a disability pension of $2 in 1892 (I did a routine calculation to get this number. The source I'm citing states that he applied for disability in 1882, but that he didn't start to receive it until ten years later) and that he would receive an extra ten dollars a month extra for having received the Medal of Honor.
