QPQ: - ?
Overall: Readable prose was expanded from 2745 on December 14, 2018 to over 15,000. Length is more than adequate. Photo used is in the public domain, and clear at low resolution. No plagiarism issues detected. Areas highlighted by Earwig are proper nouns, and directly attributed quotes. Sourcing is adequate, with one question. In the "News of death and Medal of Honor" section, does [7] apply to the whole quote? It appears to come from here and here. Per MOS:ACRO, the first mention of an acronym should be spelled out in full, followed by brackets. Some minor changes needed to LCT and LCP in the "Second Battle of the Matanikau and death" section. QPQ is still outstanding. Please provide hook citations on this template, as per discussion at WT:DYK. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 22:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks much, Flibirigit. Updated above and in the article - LMK if I missed anything. Chetsford (talk) 03:14, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

QPQ has now been completed. The missing citation for the quote was provided. Hooks are properly cited and mentioned inline. Strong preference for ALT2. Flibirigit (talk) 03:40, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
