I have been adding more information and would like for it to be considered. Gtm95 (talk) 05:28, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts for improvement[edit]

@Gtm95: I have just copy edited this for GOCE. It seems a pretty good article to me. Some areas where someone with access to relevant sources could improve it include:

Providing specific references for each of the citation needed tags.
Filling in what Hoover was up to between the wars. A near 21 year gap is not very satisfactory.
It says in the lead that he won three Navy Crosses. It is probably worth a section on each in the main body of the article explaining in moderate detail what he did to win each of them.

From MartinLBuchanan@gmail.com: This page says 140 survivors of the Juneau sinking, initially. The Juneau page says "more than 100" survivors initially. Suggest making both consistent with whatever the best available figures say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.174.46.170 (talk) 02:31, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
