  • article is appropriately expanded, long enough and within policy. The hook looks good. QPQ still outstanding. Photo looks good for use. Please ping me when QPQ is done. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
    • @Gonzo fan2007: I haven't nominated five or more articles, QPQ isn't needed (I think) Lallint 20:52, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
      • , you're right! This is good to go then. One recommendation on ALT0, which I prefer, is to add "Colonel" in front of his name. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:09, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
        • @Gonzo fan2007: Do you think "American civil war colonel" before his name would be better since it specifies the war, or would that make the hook too long? Lallint 21:13, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
  • ALT2 ... that Colonel Bradley Winslow (pictured) was brevetted by US president Abraham Lincoln for "brave and gallant conduct" during the Siege of Petersburg in the American Civil War? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:32, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
    • @Gonzo fan2007: That's good too. I'm not very familiar with the DYK process, do I just wait now for it to be accepted or for more comments to be made? Lallint 22:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

for ALT2. Nope, you're good. Just wait for the nom to be moved and placed into a holding area. Good work! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lallint and Gonzo fan2007: I am having trouble confirming ALT2 in the sources. Do you have a clear and easy to find reference for Winslow being breveted for "brave and gallant conduct"? I studied the newsprint and could not find it. Bruxton (talk) 15:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
@Bruxton: [1] at the bottom of "GEN WINSLOW PASSES AWAY". I've added the cite to the article. S.G. Griffins letter also states that he nominated him for "bravery and gallant conduct" at [2]. Lallint 15:20, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
The original source says "gallant and meritorious conduct". « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:21, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
@Gonzo fan2007 and Bruxton: Thats strange, this article states it was for brave and meritorious conduct, while the very same source later states it was for brave and gallant conduct. Does that nullify the hook? Most sources state it was gallantry, though. That one source is the only one I've seen say it was for meritorious conduct.
(edit conflict) @Lallint and Gonzo fan2007: Now I see it. It was quite blurred in the newsprint under the heading Bar association adopts resolutions. I will trascribe the reference here for the administrator who promotes to queue: "Took part in storming St. Petersburg... seriously wounded... President of the United states with the consent of Congress conferred upon him the honor of ______? brigadier general for gallant and meritorious conduct in the assault before Petersburg, VA on april 2, 1865. Bruxton (talk) 15:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
I think we also have a borderline WP:SEAOFBLUE but I will promote and leave that to the hook gnomes. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
