In the concession era the name of the city was : Tsingtau
So this page should be renamed : Siege of Tsingtau
However, it should always accept and direct using the more modern Siege of Tsingtao for backward compatibility.
Austria-Hungary fought? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.176.100.142 ( talk) 12:01, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
Considering the Japanese had 7 times the number of casualties the germans had, the section "Attack" was utter rubbish by simply stating how easily the japanese drove the german defenders out of the city. I took it out, needs to be rewritten by an unbiased expert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.66.36.189 ( talk) 10:36, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
The chinese did not delare war on Germany until 1917, why are they listed in the infobox? There were chinese who fought on both sides in this battle, but they fought within units of other countries and not under Chinese national units. XavierGreen ( talk) 23:01, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
There is no reason to state China as a supporter of German side for this battle. Thus, I have removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.74.250.7 ( talk) 16:52, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Could you list the citation to support "China as a supporter of the Axis side"?
I had an elderly relative who took part in the siege of Tsingtao. He told me that as the Japanese were unable to tell the difference between the European British and Germans all allied troops were issued with a special raincoat.

"Jaguar sank the Japanese cruiser Takashio". May that be a mistake? S90 sank Takachiho, but there had not been 2 cruisers with those names in the Imperial Japanese Navy. -- JuergenKlueser ( talk) 16:13, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
According to the template: 727 killed. According to the article (penultimate paragraph): 248 (236 Japanese and 12 British). Unless 248 refers only to land forces and 727 to land and naval personnel... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.139.118.211 ( talk) 11:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

The infobox says Allied Power...Strength...: 2 aircraft. Is it known, if there were land based aircraft? The seaplane carrier Wakamiya had a load of 4 seaplanes of type MF.11. So what is the reason for 2? -- JuergenKlueser ( talk) 07:23, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
In the Aftermath section, it says 4700 German prisoners. In the infobox, the number captured is far lower. ? Boscaswell talk 06:03, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
There is a passing reference in the infobox to French participation. There is no attribution to reliable sources to affirm this, and no mention whatsoever of the French in the article. In the continued absence of source-based evidence, it should be removed from the infobox. Keith H99 ( talk) 22:09, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
