False claim of vandalism

Do not make claims in edit summaries that valid edits are vandalism as you just did at Hermann Hoth. Not only is that extremely poor wiki-etiquette, but it is highly misleading and just wrong. It is also disruptive, and you have been here long enough to know that it is not ok. If you make an edit and it is reverted or substantively changed, then follow WP:BRD and start a discussion on the talk page. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:58, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Peacemaker67: sorry, I assumed vandalism because it is self evident that it is an improvement. Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 12:03, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I completely disagree. It clearly is not an improvement. It adds confusion. Adding the literal translation doesn't help the reader's understanding one iota. English speakers will easily work out that Generalmajor translates as Major General without being told (likewise Generalleutnant), but adding it doesn't help their understanding at all, because that wasn't the equivalent rank at the time. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 13:01, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Peacemaker67: Let's agree to disagree, but you are the boss here and subsequently the gatekeeper of information. I can agree to you latest edit which adds "equivalent to". We are all good here MisterBee1966 (talk) 13:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In the WWII era, Generalmajor and Generalleutnant are one rank below the literal translations that you provide. Generalmajor is equivalent to brigadier and Generalleutnant is major general. The Germans had General der XX which is their equivalent of the American/Commonwealth Lieutenant General.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:22, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely Sturm. I'm hardly the "boss" or "gatekeeper" MB, and I resent the assertion that I behave in that way. You initiated this by reverting my legitimate edit as "vandalism". If you want to have a substantive discussion about the merits or otherwise of your edits versus mine, let's have one on the talk page in question. Consensus will rule, as it should on WP. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:38, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sturmvogel 66: @Peacemaker67: May I remind you of that my edit was: Generalmajor (Brigadier General—lit. 'Major General') and Generalleutnant (Major General—lit. 'Lieutenant General'). I did this to reflect exactly what Sturmvogel 66 said, a German Generalmajor semantically equates to a brigadier general while linguistically it translates to major general, likewise for the Generalleutnant. My addition was therefore 100% factually, semantically and linguistically correct. As said, how to reflect this ambiguity in translation is a matter of style and I am okay with the current "equates to" result. Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 04:34, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Wilhelm Batz.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Wilhelm Batz.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Winterfelt is not listed as an ace. However, the five victory standard for recognition was not a universal measure in WWI air forces. The Imperial German Air Force laid emphasis on the fourth and tenth victories.Georgejdorner (talk) 05:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
