[edit] GA hold

This is on hold for 5 days. Please address these concerns:

1. This seems just a tad short. Pls see if you can expand it some, perhaps in his early and family life. The companion article on his brother is a little bit longer.
2. Are there any photos or sketches of him?
3. See if you can find more refs. Sumoeagle179 11:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

These are quite major problems here and I don't know how to expand the article or find more refs as I used all avaliable resources in creating this piece. I have also been unable to locate a picture of him. I will see what I can do, but I am unlikely to find what is required before the alloted time.--Jackyd101 13:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

If there are no pics or more refs, then that's okay. Pls mainly focus on early and family. Perhaps looking refs on his brother would help. As for the time limit, those are mainly for cases where no one responds. As long as you just keep communicating and working on it, that's no problem. PLs leave status notes every 2 days or so.Sumoeagle179 02:22, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly what you mean about family and youth? There is doubtless more information out there about his work in aviation and more on his war service (although I have not yet found it), but I don't think there was anything particulaly interesting in his youth to speak of and I the impression I get is that the brothers were not especially close; they went to different schools, different military academies and served in different parts of the Empire in different units etc. There certainly is more to be found and I will endeavour to find it, but in the meantime there is not a lot more I can do to the article with the resources I have. If at the end of the tie period I haven't managed to bring it up to standard then never mind, it was just a specualtive try. (I will also be away for a few days and won't be able to do anything to the article until the weekend). Thanks for your help, I'll see what I can do and all the best.--Jackyd101 21:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Have to fail GA, regretably.Sumoeagle179 23:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
