7th Cruiser Squadron
[edit]Thanks for your assistance. My typing is terrible and I don't spot the typos for things like foreign words. Unfortunately, if I wrote another section it would likely still come out with variants. I know I have definitely included some accented words recently without the accents because of the difficulty in finding the characters. I'm afraid I regard creating text and fixing the typos etc as two separate operations (out of necessity, really). Anyhow, wiki needs people out there spotting these things. By the way, if you fixed the names I guess you read it. What did you think? Sandpiper (talk) 19:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Oh, by the way, I see this is a new user ID (or at least little used), so if you are new, then welcome to wiki.
P.S. If you edit your user page, add something about yourself perhaps, or even just a 'Hi!' then your name excitingly changes from red to blue! Sandpiper (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I can't remember now, but I seem to recall some question about the name which was an issue before but remained unresolved. It appears to be 7th during the war, but certainly the distribution of ships was all changed at the commencement of the WWI and I think also a bit earlier. The ships had been mothballed and left to rot. It may be that previously the cressies were some other squadron. Sandpiper (talk) 13:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Otto weddigen
[edit]By the way, I gather you speak both english and German. The German wikipedia page for Otto Weddigen seems to have more information about him than does our page. I can just about hack a page in French to translate it, but I don't know any German. I wonder if you might be interested in comparing them and seeing if anything could be added to ours? I also wondered if there is any German equivalent of the article currently titled 7th cruiser squadron? There may not be. We have not precisely settled the current title, which is not exactly correct for the content at present, but it would be nice to know if the Germans have an equivalent article.
