What do you think of the Naval Academy photo? I created that one myself. I found the pic of his test pilot class on Commons, but it was not tagged with any of the astronauts. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:21, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I had spent a lot of time reviewing that one, specifically looking for if Lucky Bag was considered PD or not. I did not see anything that indicated that it was. The military photos we have are all similar though, and we did receive a response which is somewhat documented in the deletion request. Not sure if we can have any military portraits like those until they fall into the public domain. Kees08 (Talk) 16:53, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's no copyright notices, archives.org put the book up on its suite, and the US Naval Academy used a smaller version of the image on its site. So I thought it was okay. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:21, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Will mostly be making changes like the ones I have made already, let me know if you object to any.

  • Seems pretty random His mother traced her ancestry back to Colonel Philemon Berry Waters, who fought in the American Revolutionary War.
    Goes to his involvement in the Sons of the American Revolution. Others editors thought it was important enough to link him from that article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure 'as a local boy' is needed. As a first step, Duke went to see his local Congressman, James P. Richards, who lived in Lancaster, and Richards said that he would be pleased to give Duke his nomination, as a local boy.
    I wanted to emphasise that Richards' willingness to nominate Duke was because he was from Lancaster, and not because of any obvious talent. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seems pretty trivial They went to Jamaica for their honeymoon, but came down with food poisoning.
    Goes to his reputation as Typhoid Mary. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: Just the last couple of points above and we can finish this up. Kees08 (Talk) 22:20, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
