Improvements[edit]

This article article could be improved by addressing the following:

every paragraph needs an in line citation;
the article needs to be broken in to a number of sections, with an introductory section that summarises the whole article (sections could be: Early life; Military career; Personal life; Later life;
could an infobox be added with details of the subject's career;
the focus of the article is currently just on who he married, as a military history article it needs to focus more on his career rather than his personal life;

Just a few ideas. Hope this helps. — AustralianRupert (talk) 10:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

If he is described as a pioneer, we ought to know what his contribution was. Also, it looks a bit odd that he was married five times, but only four wives are named. Where did the fifth one fit in? Valetude (talk) 13:45, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose his father doesn't have an article, obviously, but the son was known as Jr, part of WP:COMMONNAME In ictu oculi (talk) 11:41, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative oppose – "Jr." is not just in article titles for disambiguation. Is there any evidence that it is not the subject's common name? 142.161.81.20 (talk) 22:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
