  • Guerillero, review follows: article is new enough, long enough, reasonably well written, free of copyvio ([1]). qpq has been done. Image seems appropriately licenced and displays fine at a small size. When looking at the sourcing for ALT2 I'm not seeing that the patents were just for "for smoke grenades, underwater torches, and flares", so could you consider rephrasing along the lines of "30 patents, including "? For ALT2, I really don't think you can use a source from 1981 to cite 'only alumnus' to date-- and besides, all I see in the sourcing is 'first'. ALT0 seems to imply that he wrote the only standards, but could you maybe rephrase that along the lines of "helped write early safety standards for fireworks"? There's also an uncited bit in 'personal life' and I'd suggest considering removing the names of his kids per WP:BLPNAME. Looking good, some minor things.
