Created by Domdeparis (talk). Nominated by MPS1992 (talk) at 18:28, 26 August 2019 (UTC).
New, long enough, verified by the sources, neutrally voiced, and no plagiarism to speak of; hooks are poignant, neutral, and interesting, my preference is for ALT0, though it could probably use some reduction of wordiness (197 signs is long); it appears that QPQ is not required.

- Thank you, I have made ALT0 shorter by 25 characters. MPS1992 (talk) 22:49, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- I'm promoting ALT0, but changing "most successful" to "most decorated", as in the Spectator source. Yoninah (talk) 02:34, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

most decorated
editAs I have already stated this is an error in the source, there were at least a half dozen other pilots including Sharkey Ward who received a DSC and the South Atlantic medal which were his only decorations from the conflict. Please reinstate "successful" instead of decorated. --Dom from Paris (talk) 13:21, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: my apologies, because you appear to have used a source considered reliable. Do you wish to make any further comment or change? MPS1992 (talk) 21:26, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- No, Domdeparis has reverted the article, and I have reverted the DYK hook, to "most successful". Yoninah (talk) 22:54, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- That is excellent, sorry for missing this. I am not very au fait with which DYK items appear where. MPS1992 (talk) 23:16, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- The hook is going up on the Main Page on September 5 at UTC 00:00. Yoninah (talk) 23:29, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
