I don't like the idea of having a picture of a different ship as the lead image. I think it would be better to put it further down in the article. Also, the image has two different captions.

- Did she really get in ten days from Brazil to Northern Ireland?
- Yes she did. Take a look at her patrol page on Uboat.net for a day by day position of her in the Atlantic if you'd like.--White Shadows There goes another day 18:40, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, that one shows the second ship to have been sunk somewhere off Brazil, not near Belfast. Ucucha 18:55, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I misinterpreted your question. I've fixed that to say Brazil instead of Belfast.--White Shadows There goes another day 19:20, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

- Ref. 9 needs to be properly formatted.

Overall, good work; I made some copyedits to improve the prose and remove repetition. Ucucha 16:43, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the fixes, I'm passing the article now. Ucucha 19:23, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Coordinates edit
The coordinates with this article seem to be wrong, compared with the reported position of loss. The Naval History website quotes 27-10N, 20-24N[sic], which I presume is 27° 10' N, 20° 24' W. Mjroots (talk) 08:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
The caption edit
This, and more appears with the photograph: [File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101II-MW-4260-37, Lorient, U-Boote U-123 und U-201 auslaufend.jpg|300px|left|thumb|U-123—an identical U-boat to U-111—entering Lorient on 8 June 1941."
I've changed the caption to:"U-123, almost identical to U-111, leaving Lorient in June 1941. U-210 is in the background"
I think that this pic should read 'leaving' not 'entering' because a) the crew look rather spick and span for men who would not wash or shave for many days while away on patrol, b) I consulted my (German) wife about the word 'auslaufend' and c) I looked the word up in an English/German dictionary.

- You are absolutely right about this. Thanks for fixing it. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 03:57, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I Think the explanation to the pic is wrong. It's indeed U 201 that follows U 123. U 210 never was in Lorient. Volwirt (talk) 09:46, 8 May 2014 (UTC)Volwirt
