Source spotchecks

Krisgabwoosh, I spot-checked references 3 and 4 for the information about Quispe's time in the army, and I wasn't able to find it; have I missed something? Vanamonde (Talk) 17:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See citation 4, paragraph I. Corrected to corporal and not colonel. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Krisgabwoosh: Thanks, that's better. It's still a bit of a stretch to say "Despite shining as an exceptional serviceman"; I would tone that down a little. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we scratch "shining" and just use "despite being an exceptional serviceman". Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds reasonable. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:56, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
