Help me! edit

Please help me with... Hoi, how can I check if sombody else is making a draft with the same title as me ? How can it be avoided that 2 persons making a draft in parallel ? Klutserke (talk) 15:39, 3 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

When creating your draft, if another draft already exists with that title, you will be shown that draft. For example, if you went to create Draft:Example you would notice that that draft already exists and you don't need to create a new one. If you think someone may have created a draft under another name, you can search for that as well, typing Draft: and then that title into the search box. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 16:25, 3 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Shortened footnotes edit

I noticed you made a bit of a mess with your shortened footnotes (sfn) in some articles, so I fixed it. You may benefit from studying my edits to see how this template works: German battleship Bismarck and Last battle of Bismarck. In short: if there are two sources by the same author from 1980, just use 1980a and 1980b instead of messing around with {{sfnref}}.

Hoi, thx for pointing that out. On the other hand I'm not sure whether the 'von' needs capitals. In the book it's written without capital everywhere and if I remember well, germans do make a point of writing it without capital as well. Let's wait and see what other people think of it.Obviously , spelling is not my cup of tea :-) Klutserke (talk) 22:13, 2 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Fair point! In fact it seems preferable to drop 'von' entirely – which I did instead. Jay D. Easy (t) 18:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sfn references edit

Please see here for how I fixed the references you added to German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis. DuncanHill (talk) 23:02, 20 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Right ship/date? edit

Hey Klutserke - regarding this edit, can you confirm the name of the British ship in Gibraltar in May 1937? HMS Aurora (12) did not commission until November 1937. Prager seems to have something wrong. Parsecboy (talk) 00:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Prager writes on pp. 108-109 that Vice-admiral Cunningham shifted his flag temporarely ( from the Hood ) to the cruiser Aurora, and that with this cruiser the British participated in exercises. Indeed the name of the cruiser must be wrong. The name of the italian cruiser participating in the exercises is not known, I'll erase the name and just mention then a British and Italian cruiser.
Thanks for the - as always - careful review of my edits. Klutserke (talk) 08:23, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I wonder what ship it was; HMS Arethusa (26) would be a possibility, as she was in the Mediterranean Fleet at the time with Hood, and it seems that none of the Leanders were in the Mediterranean in 1937 (only HMAS Sydney (D48) served in the unit, and she had been sent to Australia in 1936). There were several Counties in the Mediterranean and took part in patrols off Spain in 1937, but it seems less likely that Prager would mistake one of the 10,000-ton heavy cruisers for a 5,000-ton light cruiser. Unfortunately, I don't have many good resources on British light cruisers, so I can't confirm whether it was in fact Arethusa (which seems most likely).
