Comment: Error: There was no comment detected! Please follow the instructions at Template:AfC comment. I've done some cleanup at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/William P. Bowden, fixed your title, formatting, etc. for you, added the "infobox" on the right, etc. At this point, I believe if you can convert your sources to footnotes, this should be ready to publish. Check out WP:Referencing for beginners and let me know (post on my Talk page) if you have any questions, or once you have the footnoting squared away. Nice work for a first try, just needs a little polishing. 19:29, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: Error: There was no comment detected! Please follow the instructions at Template:AfC comment. Thanks for adding the wider sourcing, that gives the article a much stronger credibility. Do you think you could turn those into WP:Footnotes for further clarity? Not to just dump taskings on you, but it always helps an article, and for any future articles you write it's a good skill to have since it's easy to do while writing your draft, and helps folks know where to verify each fact. Also, WP:MILHIST had a question about his designation and the timeline involved, so if you get a chance to drop in to [Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history#Help_at_Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation.2FRichard_Lyon_.28U._S._Admiral.29_.28first_SEAL_admiral_ever.2C_1974.29|this post (linked)]] and clarify that'd be great.
