 * You will see that there is also a Polish article, though it appears to lack any citations. There are, however, books. These may form a useful set of sources. The Polish article also documents military (etc) decorations. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:23, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Some clues may exist in Wikidata 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:40, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Polish and Russian Wikipedias have at least B-class articles on this topic. There's no sources I can use from there though for some weird reason! I'd love to make ours as good as theirs but I can't source anything that English editors won't delete as unsourced. Now it's created though, hopefully someone will come along and help like you have. Any advice to add any of this Polish and Russian info that doesn't appear sourced appreciated too. I need to improve my sourcing and will keep trying... JamesKnight7 (talk) 09:00, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I looked as well. Google Translate is your friend here, on any sources that they mention. A search for a Russian speaker or reader on WP:TEAHOUSE may bear fruit.  All I've been able to do is to track down the Wikidata thing and link the accepted article to it.
 * A valid action is to sit and await community improvement, enjoying watching developments. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:10, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, referencing. Be careful that your references are always about, certainly giving coverage to, the subject of the article itself. It's endlessly tempting to cite something your subject participated in that does not refer to the subject, but that is not a valid reference. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:17, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your concern. I think I'll leave it there until you bots delete it as humans should be concerned about Donald Young. JamesKnight7 (talk) 17:32, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
