 * ... that Malcolm Orme Little retired three times?

Created by Hamish59 (talk). Nominated by Matty.007 (talk) at 12:42, 23 February 2014 (UTC).


 * The following has been checked in this review by EagerToddler39
 * QPQ not needed as this is not a self-nom
 * Article new enough at time of nomination and long enough at 3417 characters
 * Ran all online sources through duplication detector. Found and corrected only one instance of close paraphrasing. All paragraphs cited inline. Article appears to be written in a neutral tone. Disambiguation and external link verification were ok.
 * Hook is interesting and length is adequate. However the hook is not completely verifiable and his third retirement lacks an inline citation. It was flagged with a citation needed tag. Perhaps footnote [33] could be used here but I don't believe it is adequate.
 * Symbol question.svg Kindly insert inline citation to verify his third retirement. EagerToddler39 (talk) 14:55, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * When I nominated, I thought it was covered by WP:CALC. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  15:00, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * My concern is that retirement number three is not verified. Retirement one and two are ok but there is no inline citation that confirms retirement number three thus invoking WP:CALC is not relevant to the area of concern that I raised. EagerToddler39 (talk) 15:12, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Ref number 31 gives his retirement I think. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  18:29, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I have only done one DYK in the past - Manfred von Richthofen (general). I cannot find a direct cite for him retiring three times. Hamish59 (talk) 21:57, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT1 ... that Malcolm Orme Little was promoted to Brigadier-General three times?
 * ALT2 ... that Malcolm Orme Little was Lieutenant-Colonel, Colonel and Brigadier-General simultaneously?
