Eddie Gallagher (soldier)

  • Reviewed: Lawrence Minard
  • Comment: ALT1 is the same but shorter, although it misses one interesting fact. Note: Considering the accusations at hand, I'd like to avoid a "via Twitter" hook, suggesting it was due to Fox & Friends lobbying, or anything that's too playful. Best keep this entry serious.

  • Symbol confirmed.svg This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. How long is the court-martial likely to take? It would be better to run this, suitably updated, after its conclusion I would have thought. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
  • I have no idea how long the court martial will take. I agree it'd be nice to know the conclusion - this article was originally timed such that if President Trump had indeed made a dramatic Memorial Day pardon, it would have been ready to go on the spot. That didn't happen, and the trial was delayed, so who knows. I suspect we may have a "a watched pot never boils" problem here; once we run the hook, the trial will probably conclude the next day, regardless of when the hook is ran. :( SnowFire (talk) 18:28, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
