Review

• The Earwig figure of 40% is mainly due to nouns that are repeated. Not only does this not amount to a copyvio problem, but since the source in question is PD, it could have been copied verbatim without paraphrasing.
• It is not unusual for a DYK article to be small. The one I reviewed (Error has no rights) barely scratches the surface of the subject. However, I have doubled the size of the article, providing more details about his reforms at the Fleet Readiness Centerss, his role in the 2013 sequestration crisis, and his ongoing role at Lockheed Martin, where he is in charge of a program worth $1 trillion.

• The interesting name should be more than sufficient to attract 1,000 page views.

• Copying PD material may be adequate to avoid deletion but is insufficient for WP:DYK which states, "text copied verbatim from public domain sources, or which closely paraphrases such sources, is excluded both from the 1,500 minimum character count for new articles". Anyway, if further work has been done, I'll take another look. More anon... Andrew🐉(talk) 10:11, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

• ]Earwig figure is only 38.7% and as far as I can tell, is comprised entirely of nouns. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:50, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
