Article is long enough and new enough (moved and nominated 4 June), earwig reports no copyvio, sources are reliable. The inline citation needs to immediately follow the hook fact. In the article itself, "was not promoted automatically by seniority as was the custom" suggests he was punished and not promoted, when in fact he just didn't live long enough (he would have needed to have been alive in aprox. 1841 for this); this should be removed.

- Or conversely, his superiors didn't die quickly enough. I thought that would be inferred by the 'by seniority' part but agree it could be much clearer. I have rewritten the sentence but if you still think it's misleading, I'll remove.--Ykraps (talk) 20:19, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- PS I've placed a reference immediately following the hook (missed that last night). --Ykraps (talk) 06:35, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
