- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- If pictures of Foskett are not reasonably available, you should add picture(s) of aircraft types he flew, and/or aerial combat photos from the battles he engaged in.
- Sadly, the only photograph of Foskett I have seen is from a book in Google Books, so I cannot use it. However, I have found a PD image of aircraft from his first squadron in North Africa so I will add that in. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

- Overall:
I have a few relatively minor writing issues, should be easy to fix or clarify.
- should sergeant (in Training) be more specifically linked (e.g. to Flight sergeant)?
- No, the link is correct. Flight Sergeant is the rank above it. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- "Foskett disembarked at Southern Rhodesia during January 1941" -- it did not take him most of January 1941 to disembark ("during"==>"in"). This is an example; you should check all uses of "during", because it's right in some places, wrong in others.
- Done. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- "ensuring" ==> "ensuing" in a few places.
- Sorry, I'm a terrible speller. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Is the OBE an award or an appointment? This is mostly just an ignorant Yankee question, but the word currently used is "appointed".
- Either can be implemented. The OBE is an order to which one can be appointed and awarded. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Nomination is on hold. Magic♪piano 13:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
