- Any chance you could be more descriptive in the lead image caption?
- This was brought up before and I tried to make it as descriptive as possible while still making the caption correct. The exact date of the image is unknown but I do know that it was taken in 1914 but prior to 28 July 1914, the date that World War I began.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 19:38, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not too worried about the date, but what exactly am I looking at? Which ships are these? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:42, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The source does not say but I think that based off of looking at it, they are the pre-dreadnoughts, likely to be the Erzherzog's and the Radetzky's which were the most modern of the pre-dreadnoughts. This is all WP:OR though so I'd rather not add it in.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 19:46, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- So what does the source say? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:48, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- "Fleet steaming out to sea" under the Austria-Hungary section. However earlier it says that the image is prior to 28 July 1914.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 20:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- So how are you sure this image is even relevant? (It may be obvious to you, but to the rest of us...?) The Rambling Man (talk) 20:19, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- How is it not relevant? It's an image of Austro-Hungarian BB's steaming out to sea for use on the List of battleships of Austria-Hungary; what more do you want?.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 20:23, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't say it wasn't relevant, I asked how you're sure it is. I asked what the information you had about the image was. I just feel a little disappointed that all I see (as a non-expert) and all I'm told about (as a non-expert) is that this is a grainy image of a bunch of ships. That's all. Hopefully you can go some way to understanding how I'd feel a little cheated? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. I understand. Sorry for coming off a bit rude. I was not trying to be defensive or anything, just answer your concerns. Parsecboy was the one who uploaded the image for me. I've told you everything I know about it so you may want to ask him for more on the image. Images are not my specialty if you know what I mean.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 21:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Any link for State Secretary of the Navy? Or an article (albeit a stub) for the Admiral?
- There is no link for the State Secretary of the Navy (Austria-Hungary) and as for the Admiral, I'd rather steer clear from people, living or dead. I simply do not have enough sources to write even a modest stub on him. If someone else creates the article down the road, I'll gladly assist in adding my sources to it though.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 19:14, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- "had succeeded in producing 13 " why not just "had produced 13"?
- SMS Habsburg caption, shouldn't the name of the ship be in italics?
- 2 cylinder->Two-cylinder (check others)
- Similar comment for Erzherzog, shouldn't it be in italics? And you should be consistent with diacritics.
- "on 1–3 February" can't really have a "on" for a range of dates.
- Zrinyi-> check diacritics throughout.
- "Sunk by a mine on 1 November 1918 at Pola.[13]" a full stop here but not elsewhere similar, be consistent.
- "[25][24]" can you put these in order?
- What makes navweaps.com a WP:RS?
- navweaps.com is a RS. It has been used on countless GA's like German Type IXA submarine and is one of the only sources for the weaponry of BB's and U-boats. If you don't believe me, ask others like Ed or Sturmvogel.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 18:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I don't want "ask [...] Ed or Sturmvogel", I want you to prove it's a reliable source. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I told you that because they (mostly Sturmvogel) showed me navweaps.com in the first place. I don't know how to "prove it" to you other than showing you that we use it on several other GA's.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 19:27, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, but the onus, in this case, is on you to prove to me that the source meets WP:RS. Not trying to be difficult, just asking a simple question, what makes this source reliable? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:36, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Same for viribusunitis.ca?
