Comments[edit]

1. Fürst Bismarck cleared for action. Suggest - I may be being dim here but did the ships have to use force to stop the Russian ships from leaving?

No, but sending the ships to battle stations was intended to send a message, which was received loud and clear on the Russian ships. Parsecboy (talk) 12:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2. In the references I'm guessing von Mullenheim-Rechberg is supposed to be spelt using a small v?

Yeah, the "von" is always lowercase. Parsecboy (talk) 12:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow you to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns. Thurgate (talk) 22:08, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Passed. Good job Parsec. Thurgate (talk) 21:07, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
