@CPA-5: - have you lost track of this one? (actually, I had too - I was looking at the GAN list to ping Sturm for the Nevada-class battleship review and saw this one - I'd completely forgotten about Grille) ;) Parsecboy (talk) 12:41, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Well not really, I was first dealing with my older GAN reviews but right now I only have Battle of Hel but Piotrus and I have a disagreement on converting metric units. But after that, I'll have a look into this one. ;) Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 12:46, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

@CPA-5: - I don't know that Piotrus is going to do anything about the GA anytime soon - do you want to get this knocked out this week? I'd like to have it done by the end of the year, and next week is a little busier ;) Parsecboy (talk) 18:44, 18 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

It's ironic that I hassled you for a while about this and then as soon as you did the review, I got hit with some kind of stomach bug that put me out of commission for a couple of days. Parsecboy (talk) 14:40, 21 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oh dear, I hope no one in your family is infected by the bug? I am happy it's not on Christmas or otherwise it wouldn't be a lot of fun for you. Anyway please have a look at my replies. :L Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 18:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

So far, it's just me - it was going around at work, and I tried to be careful to quarantine myself - and lots of bleach after I was feeling better, too! Parsecboy (talk) 13:42, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Great to hear! The kids have maybe the immunity of their mother ;P Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 15:34, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

resumed minelaying duties in the North Sea Unlink North Sea.
- I think that's worth linking - it's not as well known and I don't think that many readers outside of Europe could tell you where it is (unless they're interested in naval history like me!)

were rated at 22,000 shaft horsepower (16,000 kW) Link Kw.
- Done
228 naval mines for service as an auxiliary minelayer. [1][2] Remove the unnecessary space.
- Good catch
She was armed with three 12.7 cm SK C/34 naval guns in individual mountings, one forward and two aft. She also carried four 3.7 cm SK C/30 anti-aircraft guns in two dual mounts and four 2 cm C/30 anti-aircraft guns No convert of inches here?
- Guess I didn't clean that section up enough ;)

represent Germany for the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth I'm not an expert in English here but is the coronation plural here?
- I don't know either - I'd think only George VI was actually crowned - the article we have is singular, so that's what I followed: Coronation of George VI and Elizabeth
including Funchal, Madiera and Ponta Delgada in the Azores Maybe add Portugal here?
- Done
Commander of the Defense of the Baltic Sea) to support the planned invasion of Poland Invasion of Poland is a proper noun.
- Fixed
She led the Eastern Group to Ostende, Belgium Wait a sec. Is Ostende not the archaic version of Ostend?
- It's also the German version - when I'm translating Hildebrand, I have a habit of thinking in German and repeating the German place names - I had to keep fixing "Tsingtau" when I wrote SMS Scharnhorst a while back.

I can read nautical stuff alright, though I have to look up words from time to time (speaking, not so much - but then I never practice it). I started with Google Translate, because it's been about a decade since I took German in college, but after a while, I realized I was reading it in German as I was transcribing it, so I might as well cut out the middle man.

@Parsecboy: I personally don't like Google Translate because it's mostly wrong instead of helping me. I use this Dutch translate website. In my opinion, it's a lot of better than Google Translate (well if we're talking about translating sentences) and more accurate however, of course, no one or nothing can translate it 100% so there might be grammar errors in it but less than in Google Translate. If you want you can use the website, English to German is an option in it. I hope you like it? Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 15:34, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I'll have to give it a try - I always used Google Translate to get a sense of words I didn't know, since with German, I know enough of the basic grammar to fix things as I go - when I was using it, I typically had a tab for GT open at the same time I'd have the original German so I could go back and forth as I wrote.

@Parsecboy: Just let you know German = Duits just saying. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 20:34, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

company for use as a passenger ship in the Mediterranean Sea Unlink the sea here.
- Yeah, most probably know where that is
the Eastern Group were tasked with covering --> "the Eastern Group was tasked with covering"?
- Done
disarmed and any equipment with a military use was removed Remove the article here?
- Done

Images

Is there a better-edited version of the image "Bundesarchiv_DVM_10_Bild-23-63-30%2C_Staatsjacht_Aviso_"Grille".jpg"? I mean it has the information of the publisher on it?
- Do you mean a cropped version that doesn't have the Bundesarchiv info at the bottom? If I remember correctly from when they did their donation, part of the agreement was that had to stay. But I don't know for certain, just that I've never seen it cropped off from images.

And what's the status in the US same with "File:Olympische Segelwettbewerbe 1936 (Kiel 53.190).jpg" and "File:IgrisBeyrut2.jpg"

- I think the Creative Commons license applies for the former, and the latter has been donated - if you see the WP:OTRS ticket on an image, you know whoever donated it went through the proper channels and had ownership verified.

Infobox

Sources

Is it possible to standardise the 10/13 ISBNs?
- Yes
Some ISBNs use hyphens others don't maybe standardise them.
- Done
"Collection - Thackray Medical Museum" has no real date so why is there a date and no |website= template?
- Good question - another editor added that and I didn't mess with it.
Hildebrand's IBNS gives me whole other book called "Neuartiges Sekundärradar zur Entfernungsmessung: Konzept, Analyse, Erprobung (German Edition)"?
- Huh, I wonder how that happened - it's fixed now (and now I need to check every other place I've got the 4th volume!)
