Thank you today for SMS Pommern, introduced (in 2018): “Another one of my articles on German battleships, this one was the only battleship of any type on either side to be sunk at the Battle of Jutland – her loss accounted for about a third of German deaths in the battle. I wrote the article and it passed a Milhist A-class review several years ago, but recently revamped it with new sources”! – Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:38, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gerda! Parsecboy (talk) 12:47, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve got a guy who’s insisting on changing the Ships paragraph for a bunch of RN capital ship classes to Ships in Class. Dunno if he’s done it to any of yours, but I’m on my second round of reverts so far. He’s also complicating the infoboxes for Dreadnought and the Invincible-class BCs by adding the relationship between them, which is better saved for the main body, IMO.–Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:29, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I saw them do it to Iron Duke-class battleship, but that’s the only one in my watchlist. I don’t care all that much about it, but edits like this are definitely not an improvement. Parsecboy (talk) 23:35, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but I’d have probably been willing to let the others slide if he hadn’t capitalized “Class”. That was just offensive.–Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:42, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, they didn’t do that to the Iron Duke article. Parsecboy (talk) 14:29, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was Flognar editing logged out. See User talk:Flognar#”Ships” or “ships in class” headings in ship class articles.— Toddy1 (talk) 13:07, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hoi Parsecboy, I noted you’ve modified the infobox ship in some articles, introducing sections. I see a bot has modified likewise some of the articles I’m expanding. When i open the editor of a ship infobox, i get now only one field for each section, where i can edit the source of the sub-infoboxes. I’m struggling a bit with this change, i’m usually not editing source. Could you give some more context about this introduction of sections or redirect me to some explanation page ?
