BMW 801TU

One of my additions, the BMW 801TU was removews from the article.

The reasoning was, that the BMW 801TU was the powerplant wersion of the BMW 801Q.

But multiple other sources disagree on that. HZS89 (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It does not appear in the wiki:de version of this article, regardless not one of your 12 edits to this article were supported by citations from a reliable source, this is also a requirement on wiki:de. The added text contained many spelling errors (the post above has 'removews' which should be 'removed' and 'wersion' instead of 'version'. The external link added was misplaced, not formatted and a guide for a flight simulator game, contra to WP:NOTGUIDE.

I appreciate that your first language is not English but it is not the place of editors to correct your spelling or find citations for your additions. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 12:02, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the source not correct? I personally own the book (Flugmotoren und Strahltriebwerke).

The spelling problems can be correct, I am not native english. HZS89 (talk) 12:12, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No source or citations were added by you, this is the difference between the article as it was before being edited by you and my restoration today, no sources, no citations.Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 13:27, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We (currently) list the engine versions here, not the powerplant versions (Motoranlage, Triebwerksanlage). TU is Triebwerksanlage U which contains the Q-2 engine which is basically a late-gen D-2 engine with the new oil cooler (might be larger in capacity but for sure had thicker armor). TU does appear in de wiki version, listed as powerplant verison of Q-2. The naming of these powerplant installations vs the pure engine has always been complicated/confusing, the designation does not always match those of the engine. --Denniss (talk) 17:18, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
