Images

• "File:Panzerschiff DINGYUAN (chin.) und ZHENYUAN (chin.) (Kiel 80.681).jpg" is it in PD in the US and there is no source?
  • The source is the Kiel - you can go to their website and search for it (see here)
• "File:Meyers b14 s0454d.jpg" source isn't accessible for me?
  • I don't know that you really need it - the entire 4th edition is scanned to Commons and was published between 1885 and 1890, so it's PD in the US.
• "File:TingYuen-AfterTheTorpedoBoatAttack.png" Date of publishing could be handy?
  • It's in the book citation

• Standardise the 10/13 ISBNs if possible.

• This looks great, I believe the source of "File:Meyers b14 s0454d.jpg" isn't important in a GAN but I think it could be handy to have a link which is not dead. I'll pass it, I'll also see you at Zhenyuan tomorrow. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 19:46, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
