I request the withdrawal of this nomination, as I have come to realize it is not yet ready. My apologies to Kavyansh.Singh and NikkiMaria for wasting their admirable talents fruitlessly because of me.23:27, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
This article is about...one of the leading
flying aces of the Imperial German Air Service of the First World War,
Werner Voss. Noted for his flying talent, marksmanship, and situational awareness, Voss scored 48 aerial victories before dying in a single-handed match against eight Royal Flying Corps aces in a dogfight still debated and discussed by aviation enthusiasts and historians.

I do not understand this. My coding skills are strictly "monkey see, monkey do". That is, I learn by copying useful code. However, I have never faced this code before. With an example, I would copy it as needed.

In accordance with
MOS:DTAB, the table needs caption. But since the section heading is already "Werner Voss's victories", the caption would be repetitive. So suggesting to use {{Sronly}}, by which, the caption would be visible to only those using screen-reader. So, all in all:
I also don't think that "Doubled horizontal lines" is the best method for marking changes in squadron assignments. If you'd like to keep the table unsortable, better would be to merge all the cells of that row, put a background color, and write "change in squadron assignment" or whatever better wording. For example, see the 1976 and 2021 row of
this list.
At the moment both Further reading and External links are subsections of References. If they're not intended as references, that shouldn't be.

Some of the details in the lead don't match up with what's in the article text. For example, the lead states that the medal was associated with a mandatory leave, while the text says it's only customary
It was mandatory that the ace take the customary leave. It was customary to send the ace on a mandatory leave. Where's the inconsistency?

Customary and mandatory mean different things. If what you mean is that it was customary for a leave to be mandated, then let's say that in both places.

Don't rely on wikilinks for basic definitions - eg WIA should be spelled out on first appearance rather than just linked
Missing in action, wounded in action, killed in action are all spelled in full and linked in first two lines of victory list. MIA, WIA, KIA are all linked on first usage as a means of introducing the unlinked abbreviations later on.

The article would benefit from a going-through for
MOS edits
"The dogfight remains a subject of debate and controversy among combat aviation historians and interested parties" - this could be expanded on.
