Hi Hermera34 - thank you for approving my article for submission on Maj. Gen. Carlos Brewer so quickly. There is one concern that I have regarding the title of the article "Carlos Brewer", where the title was changed to Carlos B. Brewer, and a middle name of "Brou'er" was added to the lede. I believe that is a phonetic spelling error, and not part of his name, since it appears only on the title of one page, and no other mention of him having a middle name is listed on any website or any other reference, including the official West Point alumni reference (see Cullum 1940 ref) and not on the image of his gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery (see Find A Grave ref). I think it would be easiest and most correct to change the title of the article to "Carlos Brewer" without any middle initial. My concern is that there are 4 links throughout wikipedia already that point to Carlos Brewer referring to him, which does not have a re-direct so they remain redlinked. Thank you.
