Hi Stront ox and thanks for your contributions to this article. I note that you added Feldflieger-Abteilung 6b to the units that operated the type. Do you have some evidence for this? If so, you need to provide that in the article itself. If not, you should remove that detail until we can supply a published source as a reference.

On a more minor note, I see you changed "known of" to "known about" in one paragraph as "poor English". I'm not sure why you have that idea, but the MacMillan.[1] Cambridge,[2] and MacGraw–Hill[3] dictionaries all allow "of" in this context. It's not worth reverting, but before you cast aspersions on your fellow editors' language abilities, you need to make sure you're in the right ;) And even then, there would be kinder and more collegiate ways to get the idea across.

Hi Rlandmann! I knew you were smart enough to notice it. Cheers ! Stront ox (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Similarly, I'm also now wondering what the sources of information for the article on Friedrich Marnet is? You've got considerably more in there than what's available at Frontflieger (as far as I can tell, anyway!) Also, be aware of Wikipedia's guidelines as to which officers might be noteworthy enough to qualify for their own articles (here). I'm not sure that either Marnet or Ernst Wieblitz would qualify, but will ask for feedback from more knowledgeable folks.

Finally, since you're obviously interested in military history topics, you might like to make contact with Wikipedia's military history project. --Rlandmann (talk) 23:44, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can find information about Friedrich Marnet here, as well as various helpfull links.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to think this project is great. Yours truly Stront ox (talk) 13:16, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
