Improving Draft:Sailor Fred Fritts
Greetings, I did some basic cleanup and added a citation, but there are more things you need to do while awaiting review:
 * Right now you have a list of stats, which instead should go in a nice little box on the margin. I've provided you the coding on the draft page so you can plug it in and tidy up his stats with an "infobox"
 * You're not quite understanding how to do footnoting. Please see WP:Referencing for beginners and that will clear it up.
 * You could use more sourcing; glancing around Google I think I see a number of mentions of him in old newspaper articles, etc. You should cite some of those. Not necessarily for nitty-gritty of what happened that day, but for facts about his life and career that the articles capture.
 * You have a big block of fights stats, and it needs to go into a nice clear grid like used on every boxing article on Wikipedia. Take a look at WikiProject Boxing, check out any of the "Good" or "Featured" articles, and from those you can copy the format they used to make a nice tidy grid for the victory stats.
 * I asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing if winning the Navy title qualifies Fritts for an article. If they concur it does, we can have an article on him no problem, it just needs to be nice and tidy. If they say it doesn't meet our benchmark, then he can't.
 * Don't sweat the photo now, let's get the article published first and worry photos later.

This is not your full first review, this is just initial comments. Please execute these at your nearest convenience (prioritize tidying up that infobox of stats); you can continue to work on the draft while it waits in line for review. If you have any questions/comments for me, go to my Talk page and ask there. If you have general questions/comments for reviewers, just type them at the very top of the article along with the other comments so far. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:09, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
