It is strange. You're right; Arras was after the 18 May (21 May). The French attack at Cambrai was a day after that (22 May). The only real example I can think of, was the Battle at Montcornet on 17 May which lasted through until the 20th. On 19 May, a book I have and included on the Battle of France article last year, said the French lost 32 tanks on 17th and a further 80, roughly 50% of their strength, in another battle on 19 May. It maybe the battle on the 17th that this award relates to, but I wonder whether it could have been applied for and ratified so quickly. Does this help? Dapi89 ( talk) 19:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at Lock.
I was doing Archie McKellar's list and he may have shot down a pilot named Viktor Mölders on 7 October 1940. Mölders was killed. Could it be the brother of the famous Werner Mölders? I know that his brother was also called Viktor and he flew Bf 110s in the German invasion of Denmark. Dapi89 ( talk) 19:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes. One Staffel I believe spear-headed III./LG 1's operation against British logistics between Tobruk and Sollum on 29 June 1941. I have to check the staffel. They saw an Allied fleet off the coast of T&S and then proceeded to attack the Australian warship (Destroyer) Waterhen and a small transport. On 9 July the Gruppe, but I don't know which staffel, sank the damaged HMS Defender on 9 July 1941 which was under tow at the time. Because of the inability of the German fighters to devote time and energy to operational-level interdiction targeting, the LG 1 bombers involved usually attacked Tobruk at night. The fighters were usually used in Ju 87 escort. Dapi89 ( talk) 19:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
I believe your source is in error. There were no Spitfire units in the MTO until March 1942, and then only in Malta. Spitfires did not reach Africa until June 1942. Dapi89 ( talk) 18:33, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for the postive feedback. I have noticed your signature on many of the articles I've worked on. I've presumed I haven't been damaging your work, but rather just expanding on it.
I'm enthused by the idea of expanding a standard knowledge-base, rather than just reinventing the wheel with publishing yet another private webpage or keeping all my research to myself. However, I'm no IT geek, and still fumbling my way round Wiki-editing. The editing of current pages has been simple enough to learn, and I've been able to copy the format/programming protocols of similar concepts to add weblinks to ends of articles, & tables. However how to add internal article references (as you've suggested) or setting up new Wiki articles still eludes me. No matter, as I have several hundred pilot articles that DO exist to work through before I even need to think about the few that aren't up yet.
I've been collecting info on all the Jagdwaffe Ritterkreuz holders, and many of the other significant pilots of the period, mostly from fairly mainstream sources, but there are often little bits in each that when combined give a much more rounded picture. I also find it valuable to frame certain biographical events in a context of the war or the location to give a broader picture. I decided to start my editing at 'S', since most people will typically start at 'A' when cataloguing, and enthusiasm or time rund out further down the alphabet. That said, tho I might leave Herr Hartmann's victory tally list for a few years yet, as that makes for a fairly hefty wiki-table...
Finally, I'm also quite unaware of how to add pictures to articles, but I also expect there are serious legal issues as regards scanning images from published books, or even other websites, so I have instead just included a mention that they can be found at such&such a place.

No, that was not my intent at all, and I apologize if I caused any offense. It's difficult to convey tone through conversational text and, without knowing the other person, it is even more difficult to know what the most effective approach is, you just have to take a crappy guess with your wording and hope that it works out. At least now I'll know better! Canadian Paul 15:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Two controversial moves were made:
and then
Less than an hour later your bot ran another move
In doing this you made it impossible for an ordinary user to unwind the controversial move which was not discussed on the talk page before it was made. I strongly urge you to change your algorithm of you bot so that you do not move a page that has already been move in under 7 days (otherwise your bot can be used to make moves in bad faith that lock the page from ordinary editors reverting the change). If the position has not been unwound in 7 days (the length of time for a standard WP:RM then and only then move the page. -- PBS ( talk) 18:37, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
apologies I see from your edit history that you are not a bot. However I suggest that you stick to the same algorithm and just adjust it by putting in a redirect from the alternative name until the week is up. -- PBS ( talk) 18:43, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Our messages crossed! I understand that, but please understand, that it takes administrative action to unwind such a move (because bots will fix the redirects), and the administrators at RM are often trying to deal with a backlog. So by refraining from moving an article too quickly you will not unintentionally increase their workload. In this case it was a page I watch so I have unwound the position but if I were not an admin I would have had to made a request at WP:RM to do it. -- PBS ( talk) 18:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Heya - thanks for the input tidying up the article and clarifying my edits. I've add a bundle of extra citations. It can be hard to avoid the appearance of plagiarism when there are only limited facts to narrate in a chronological order, but I do try to take them an re-write them in my own style. Certainly no cutting and pasting! The point has also been to pull assorted comments and events together from various books into a single article. Hoep that has worked, no idea of whether they woudl eb satisfactory for higher-level review, I'll let more experienced peopel decide that, and just keep chipping away on padding out the assorted pilot articles 21:46, 5 February 2013 (UTC) Philby NZ ( talk)( User talk:Philby NZ)

Hi MB, I have a question for you: do you happen to know anything about this man? I know the basic outlines, but I can't seem to find much on him. This book mentions him in some detail, but I was wondering if you knew of anything better. I'm writing a paper on German development of U-boats in the interwar years, and von Mellenthin is mentioned in Rössler's The U-boat as having done the research on what type of submarine suited the Germans best in 1914-18, but that's about it. I'd like to dig into that a bit more if I can (in large part because other things I've read have criticized the Reichsmarine for not investigating the experiences of the First World War like von Seekt did in the army, and I'd like to see what exactly they did do). Any help you might be able to provide would be much appreciated. Parsecboy ( talk) 21:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Heinrich Bär know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 26, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or one of his delegates ( Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 26, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Heinrich Bär (1913–57) was a German Luftwaffe flying ace in World War II. He flew more than 1,000 combat missions, and fought in all major German theatres of the war, including the Western, Eastern and Mediterranean fronts. He was shot down on 18 occasions and was credited with 220 aerial victories, around 16 of which were in the Messerschmitt Me 262, an early jet fighter. Bär joined the Reichswehr in 1934 and transferred to the Luftwaffe in 1935. Serving first as a mechanic, then as a pilot on transport aircraft, he was informally trained as a fighter pilot. He claimed his first aerial victory in September 1939 on the French border. By the end of the Battle of Britain, his tally of victories was 17. Transferred to the Eastern front to participate in Operation Barbarossa, he quickly accumulated further kills, earning the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords for 90 aerial victories in February 1942. Hermann Göring's personal dislike of Bär, coupled with Bär's insubordinate character and lack of military discipline, deprived him of higher awards. After the war, Bär continued as an aviator, and was killed in a flying accident near Braunschweig. ( Full article...)

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:
You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Good catch on adding Grille to the avisos template - for some reason, she's not included in Groener's first volume (I'm guessing she's in the 2nd, which is at home - I'm away for the week and won't be able to check until Tuesday probably). Anyway, would you mind adding what you can from HRS? My sources so far are a little thin at the moment. I'm guessing HRS has the details on the specific visits/trips the ship made in the 1930s.

![]() So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 14:59, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

His newst actions in de:Wiki with this account and this IP show that he is not willing or not able to change his behaviour. Together with this users poor english I see no possibility for him to enrich en:Wikis articles but only the attempt to continue the work he has been blocked for in de:Wiki.

Hi, I noticed you re-added the Lost at sea category at the Lütjens article. That category seems to me redundant as the article has already been categorised as People who died at sea. Could you enlighten me to the differences between being lost at sea and died at sea. So far I assumed the former applied to people who perished in a shipwreck and the latter for those who died in other events, including battles at sea. ÄDA - DÄP VA ( talk) 19:53, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

It is strange. You're right; Arras was after the 18 May (21 May). The French attack at Cambrai was a day after that (22 May). The only real example I can think of, was the Battle at Montcornet on 17 May which lasted through until the 20th. On 19 May, a book I have and included on the Battle of France article last year, said the French lost 32 tanks on 17th and a further 80, roughly 50% of their strength, in another battle on 19 May. It maybe the battle on the 17th that this award relates to, but I wonder whether it could have been applied for and ratified so quickly. Does this help? Dapi89 ( talk) 19:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes. One Staffel I believe spear-headed III./LG 1's operation against British logistics between Tobruk and Sollum on 29 June 1941. I have to check the staffel. They saw an Allied fleet off the coast of T&S and then proceeded to attack the Australian warship (Destroyer) Waterhen and a small transport. On 9 July the Gruppe, but I don't know which staffel, sank the damaged HMS Defender on 9 July 1941 which was under tow at the time. Because of the inability of the German fighters to devote time and energy to operational-level interdiction targeting, the LG 1 bombers involved usually attacked Tobruk at night. The fighters were usually used in Ju 87 escort. Dapi89 ( talk) 19:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for the postive feedback. I have noticed your signature on many of the articles I've worked on. I've presumed I haven't been damaging your work, but rather just expanding on it.
I'm enthused by the idea of expanding a standard knowledge-base, rather than just reinventing the wheel with publishing yet another private webpage or keeping all my research to myself. However, I'm no IT geek, and still fumbling my way round Wiki-editing. The editing of current pages has been simple enough to learn, and I've been able to copy the format/programming protocols of similar concepts to add weblinks to ends of articles, & tables. However how to add internal article references (as you've suggested) or setting up new Wiki articles still eludes me. No matter, as I have several hundred pilot articles that DO exist to work through before I even need to think about the few that aren't up yet.
I've been collecting info on all the Jagdwaffe Ritterkreuz holders, and many of the other significant pilots of the period, mostly from fairly mainstream sources, but there are often little bits in each that when combined give a much more rounded picture. I also find it valuable to frame certain biographical events in a context of the war or the location to give a broader picture. I decided to start my editing at 'S', since most people will typically start at 'A' when cataloguing, and enthusiasm or time rund out further down the alphabet. That said, tho I might leave Herr Hartmann's victory tally list for a few years yet, as that makes for a fairly hefty wiki-table...
Finally, I'm also quite unaware of how to add pictures to articles, but I also expect there are serious legal issues as regards scanning images from published books, or even other websites, so I have instead just included a mention that they can be found at such&such a place.

No, that was not my intent at all, and I apologize if I caused any offense. It's difficult to convey tone through conversational text and, without knowing the other person, it is even more difficult to know what the most effective approach is, you just have to take a crappy guess with your wording and hope that it works out. At least now I'll know better! Canadian Paul 15:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Two controversial moves were made:
and then
Less than an hour later your bot ran another move
In doing this you made it impossible for an ordinary user to unwind the controversial move which was not discussed on the talk page before it was made. I strongly urge you to change your algorithm of you bot so that you do not move a page that has already been move in under 7 days (otherwise your bot can be used to make moves in bad faith that lock the page from ordinary editors reverting the change). If the position has not been unwound in 7 days (the length of time for a standard WP:RM then and only then move the page. -- PBS ( talk) 18:37, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
apologies I see from your edit history that you are not a bot. However I suggest that you stick to the same algorithm and just adjust it by putting in a redirect from the alternative name until the week is up. -- PBS ( talk) 18:43, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Our messages crossed! I understand that, but please understand, that it takes administrative action to unwind such a move (because bots will fix the redirects), and the administrators at RM are often trying to deal with a backlog. So by refraining from moving an article too quickly you will not unintentionally increase their workload. In this case it was a page I watch so I have unwound the position but if I were not an admin I would have had to made a request at WP:RM to do it. -- PBS ( talk) 18:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

hi there.
I seem to have fallen for a hoax G.A review. This 'reviewer' has been here a matter of days and is making some absurd requests. Could you do the G.A instead? (You can follow the brief edits on my edit history) Cheers. Dapi89 ( talk) 19:32, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Heya - thanks for the input tidying up the article and clarifying my edits. I've add a bundle of extra citations. It can be hard to avoid the appearance of plagiarism when there are only limited facts to narrate in a chronological order, but I do try to take them an re-write them in my own style. Certainly no cutting and pasting! The point has also been to pull assorted comments and events together from various books into a single article. Hoep that has worked, no idea of whether they woudl eb satisfactory for higher-level review, I'll let more experienced peopel decide that, and just keep chipping away on padding out the assorted pilot articles 21:46, 5 February 2013 (UTC) Philby NZ ( talk)( User talk:Philby NZ)

Hi MB, I have a question for you: do you happen to know anything about this man? I know the basic outlines, but I can't seem to find much on him. This book mentions him in some detail, but I was wondering if you knew of anything better. I'm writing a paper on German development of U-boats in the interwar years, and von Mellenthin is mentioned in Rössler's The U-boat as having done the research on what type of submarine suited the Germans best in 1914-18, but that's about it. I'd like to dig into that a bit more if I can (in large part because other things I've read have criticized the Reichsmarine for not investigating the experiences of the First World War like von Seekt did in the army, and I'd like to see what exactly they did do). Any help you might be able to provide would be much appreciated. Parsecboy ( talk) 21:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

G'day, I came across a web reference to a Helmutt Raithel who was a member of the DAV Sektion Bayern in the 1960's, and led the first ascent of Mount Russell (Alaska) in 1962. It is almost certainly the same guy, but I can't find anything reliable in English to confirm it so I can put it in the article. Can you suggest a possible source or someone I could ask? I have left a message on WP Climbing but they haven't got any German members, so I'm not too hopeful there. Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 14:00, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Heinrich Bär know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 26, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or one of his delegates ( Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 26, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Heinrich Bär (1913–57) was a German Luftwaffe flying ace in World War II. He flew more than 1,000 combat missions, and fought in all major German theatres of the war, including the Western, Eastern and Mediterranean fronts. He was shot down on 18 occasions and was credited with 220 aerial victories, around 16 of which were in the Messerschmitt Me 262, an early jet fighter. Bär joined the Reichswehr in 1934 and transferred to the Luftwaffe in 1935. Serving first as a mechanic, then as a pilot on transport aircraft, he was informally trained as a fighter pilot. He claimed his first aerial victory in September 1939 on the French border. By the end of the Battle of Britain, his tally of victories was 17. Transferred to the Eastern front to participate in Operation Barbarossa, he quickly accumulated further kills, earning the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords for 90 aerial victories in February 1942. Hermann Göring's personal dislike of Bär, coupled with Bär's insubordinate character and lack of military discipline, deprived him of higher awards. After the war, Bär continued as an aviator, and was killed in a flying accident near Braunschweig. ( Full article...)

WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined.

Together with this users poor english I see no possibility for him to enrich en:Wikis articles but only the attempt to continue the work he has been blocked for in de:Wiki.

Thanks for your note. You are correct, it should have been U-553. In my defence it was already like that when I did the re-write, but I should have noticed and I didn't. Anyway, I've fixed it now. Regards, Xyl 54 ( talk) 00:31, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paul Bader, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kriegsschule ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
