- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS): 
- In the World War I section, you say "Nevertheless, on 5 August 1918". The "nevertheless" is probably unnecessary, and can be removed.
- Removed. — Bellhalla (talk) 19:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- In the Later career section, you say "spectators clamored over the cliff..." Should this be "clambered"? A clamor is a loud uproar (noise) made by a crowd of people, to clamber is to scramble or climb with difficulty. Clambered sounds more appropriate here, given the context, but that may just be me reading it wrong!
- You are right. I guess I didn't know they were different words. You learn something new everyday :) — Bellhalla (talk) 19:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Same section, you say "attempted to burn some meat in a refrigerator". Wait, he what? Is this a typo? If not, why the h**l was he trying to burn meat in a refrigerator?!?! Sorry, this just made me do a complete double take when I read it, and I needed to know if this was really what it was supposed to say :)
- That's what the source said. My guess is that it may have been rotten meat (especially after 5 months!) that he was trying to get rid of... — Bellhalla (talk) 19:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm...OK, I guess I'll just have to deal with my curiosity :) Your explanation is kind of what I was thinking too, but I'm very curious as to why he was trying to do it in the refrigerator as opposed to someplace flameproof...!
