Overall: 
Everything looks good. I have a few comments, all of them minor and none enough to cause me to put the nomination on hold. I'd recommend making the lead section of the article longer. At just one sentence, it is very short, considering Robert Wertheim had quite a few achievements in his life. Additionally, there is a typo in the source quote for ALT2. Finally, I suggest spelling out Rear Admiral in ALT1, as the meaning of the abbreviation may not be clear to those unfamiliar with naval officer ranks. Otherwise, this is good to go! All three hooks are sourced, but personally I find ALT0 and ALT2 more interesting than ALT1. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:57, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
