Comments

If the comment is numbered, it must be addressed for the article to pass, if it is bulleted, it's an optional suggestion or comment that you don't need to act on right now.
When I quote things, you can use ctrl+f to search the page for the specific line I quoted.

1. "He had an adventurous life..." too editorialized. Reword to be more neutral and encyclopedic

   Done. FunkyCanute (talk) 09:55, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

2. The block quote on his death reads as rather non-neutral since it contains almost entirely praise which doesn't add much information.

   Removed. FunkyCanute (talk) 09:55, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

• You might want to wikilink "solicitor" in the lead. I don't know what it is, and solicitor is a dab page.

• I have linked to Solicitor (not a dab page).

• The Action at St Eloi Craters section seems to be almost entirely quotes. I would recommend rewriting it to use original prose. See WP:OVERQUOTE.

• After removing the quote from the CO, the balance, I think, is restored.
