Overall: The final sentence in the article (beginning, "His gravestone inscription...") doesn't have a citation and indicates an opinion rather than simple facts. A citation is needed for that. The initial sentence in the "Early years" section needs a citation since it doesn't state a fact (rather, it's a guess about where he was born). I've also listed a couple alternative hooks below. @Tfhentz and Onegreatjoke: Let me know what you think. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:48, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

@Tfhentz: Thanks for removing the uncited opinion (the "is a fitting remembrance" part) and adding the citations. I've updated the review. Thoughts on the hooks? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

They're fine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:04, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

I guess we'll need someone else to chime in on which should be used since I probably shouldn't approve an Alt I wrote. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Tagging as someone else will need to approve one of the ALTs since I wrote them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:24, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
