Zawed, I'm very happy and inspired to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:
I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.
Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. Please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 06:10, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Seabuckthorn, many thanks for the review. That is an extensive and no doubt time-consuming checklist you have worked through there. I have revised both the lead and section headings in response to your comments. Let me know if you believe the lead still does not accurately reflect the body of the article or place appropriate weight on the VC. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 08:27, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- The lead looks perfect now! Thanks, Zawed, very much for your diligence, care and precision in writing such great articles. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 09:35, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Common name
[edit]Kia ora Zawed (and other interested editors), I thought I'd point out that the person's common name is William Sanders. Do you know how to determine the common name from a DNZB entry? I'm working my way through this list and have yet to find an entry where they've got the common name wrong.
That all said, he's obviously got a gravestone in Purewa Cemetery (Block F Row 44 Plot 221). Here's a photo of it. Worth adding to the article? Schwede66 04:55, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
kinda...
[edit]He was killed in action when Prize was sunk by a U-boat on her fourth patrol. supposedly the word her between on and fourth is his! 2404:8000:1027:D5FD:68F2:64C5:6A6C:CBE2 (talk) 08:43, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- British usage is to consider ships as female. 'her' refers to Prize, not Sanders. John M Brear (talk) 14:22, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
