thanks for adding the wider sourcing that gives the article a much stronger credibility do you think you could turn those into wp footnotes for further clarity not to just dump taskings on you but it always helps an article and for any future articles you write it's a good skill to have since it's easy to do while writing your draft and helps folks know where to verify each fact also wp milhist had a question about his designation and the timeline involved so if you get a chance to drop in to wikipedia talk wikiproject military history help at wikipedia talk articles for creation frichard lyon u s admiral first seal admiral ever c this post linked and clarify that'd be great thanks
