5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: 7.3x expansion confirmed from 12 September; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; hooks are both interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by the sources; image is PD and good at small scale; a QPQ has been carried out

there's a few similarities in wording to the Navy Times article, are there any ways of rewording the following:

  • "liaison between his headquarters and the nine Pacific training commands"
  • "serve as special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations for women's policy"
  • "the first female executive officer of the Navy's New York Recruiting District"
  • " Orlando Naval Training Center in Orlando, Florida, which processed 30,000 enlistees a year. It had been severely criticized the year before for the manner in which it handled allegations of rape and sexual harassment"
Though I appreciate with many technical terms and proper names it is sometimes difficult to find alternative ways or wording sentences. Otherwise, no issues here- Dumelow (talk) 07:09, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Not much I can do about the nouns, but I have reworded these phrases. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
