Gun Camera footage of shoot down of Manchester L7497?[edit]

The above mentioned aircraft was shot down by Wolterdorf in March 26, 42 of which your article mentioned "gun camera footage" from the Dornier Do he was flying. How can I find this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.194.54 (talk) 20:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The footage I'm not sure about. Foreman, Matthews and Parry have included a still shot of it - the moment the bomber catches fire. It is on page 36 of their book. Dapi89 (talk) 20:34, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit[edit]

I reverted the recent addition (diff), for two reasons:

Wikipedia is not a reliable source
Current consensus on the Wehrmachtbericht transcript is not to include them in the article.

Please let me know if there are any concerns. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:03, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No concerns. It was to remove the cn tag, nothing more. Dapi89 (talk) 20:35, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grave info[edit]

This information is not cited in the article. In addition, Wikipedia is not a grave directory and this is OR and fails WP:DUE. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:18, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re: re-added grave info, where does this information come from? And does it need to be included? K.e.coffman (talk) 21:05, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So? It's relevant to him! Hardly undue weight, and was a citation needed tag added back to the article? Dapi89 (talk) 17:02, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions. The article's prose consists mostly or WP:OR / WP:SYNTH based on a primary source which does not provide the content the article purports to summarise; please see the source in question Luftwaffe Night Fighter Combat Claims, 1939-1945. The rest of the copy is sourced to an off topic source.

No de.wiki article exists. Did not hold a significant command and topped out as Oberleutnant. Successful completion of missions (sorties flown, # of enemy aircraft shot down, etc) is not part of SOLDIER. A MilHist RfC on this topic has failed to gain consensus in May of 2017:

MilHist:RfC on the notability of flying aces.

Hence the redirect. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:10, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
