Did You Know A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 25, 2010.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that of the four German destroyers of the Type 1934 class, only Z4 Richard Beitzen survived World War II, while Z1 Leberecht Maass and Z3 Max Schultz were sunk in a friendly fire incident and Z2 Georg Thiele was scuttled at Narvik?
Current status: Good article

Rename article to German destroyer Z3 Max Schultz

edit

In copyediting this article, I noticed that the photo name was Z 3 Max Schultz.jpg - and following the links to other WP pages found that indeed Schultz is correct - the de:Max Schultz page even has a photo of the ship's namesake's gravestone. After amending the article, I'll move it. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 04:11, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Now all fixed.
N.B, The correct name can be found in this source, but not in this one, which may be the source of the original error. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 07:35, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in German destroyer Z3 Max Schultz

edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of German destroyer Z3 Max Schultz's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ks7":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 15:58, 15 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
