Notes

I'm going to start tackling some GANs pre-review Nate, but this is all optional; let me know if you'd rather I hold off until the ACR. - Dank (push to talk) 01:57, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I assume the ship was named for the province and not for the Westfalia camper minibus (which I almost linked to by mistake)? - Dank (push to talk) 01:57, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's fine, it doesn't really matter whether it happens before or during an ACR, right?
- That would have been hilarious. But yeah, the ship was named for the province. Parsecboy (talk) 11:14, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In Battle of the Gulf of Riga, I made some edits to the same section in SMS Posen that I think would be useful here ... in particular, "would" is technically okay but the section would be better without it. - Dank (push to talk) 19:25, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, done per standard disclaimer. If there are any sources you're interested in but haven't had time to look at yet, I'll be happy to look them up and give you a paraphrase on this talk page that you can use for the article if you like. Good job as usual. - Dank (push to talk) 19:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, all of your changes look fine to me. On a side note, I've finally finished up SMS König, which is going to be my next FAC after Blucher. It passed ACR over the summer, so it would probably benefit if you took a look at the prose. Parsecboy (talk) 20:48, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Anotherclown: thanks, great work. Opinions differ on the best use of "however"; let's see if your edit gets resistance. - Dank (push to talk) 13:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, I'm done with SMS König per my usual disclaimer. Another pass by another copyeditor would be great. - Dank (push to talk) 13:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Times in this article are CET, right? - Dank (push to talk) 15:24, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Power?

The Design chapter overlooks the power output of the engines (and range). The info is in the infobox, indeed, but usually is repeated in the page text.--Demostene119 (talk) 14:20, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
