Solid bio, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook leaves me cold, but if that - a bit of cute name-dropping - is all you want to tell us about him, why not? - In the article, I had to read "In 1915, he became a partner in Ehlerman, Wright & Abbott with Donald B. Abbott, Carl Ehlerman Jr. ..." more than once, due to all these names. Perhaps make a full stop after the company name? Or not, your call. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:57, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt Thanks for the review. The point wasn't name-dropping. The point was that someone who started as a fencer had a notable career in a different field. He was successful enough as a fencer that a U.S. President decided that it was worth his time to watch. With DYK, that isn't all that is shared about him because readers can click on the article.

- You have your view, and I have mine, and that's fine. Of the millions who see the Main page, some see the hook, and some of those click. I - a bit pessimistic about the last "some" (15%?) - want to serve those who won't click, but you don't have to ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
