An explanation for the massive revision. edit
The list had become incomprehensible. Examples:
- Unintelligible list headings
- Bizarre dates--year/month/day--that had no relationship to reality
- Listing such "Achievements" as getting killed
- Extensive mini-biographies crammed into "Achievements" or "Notes"
- Achievements listed in Notes column
And not one bit of this crap was sourced/cited. So, away with it!Georgejdorner (talk) 04:24, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Flying ace resource check? edit
Hello, if anyone reading this an expert in "German flying aces of WWI" could you let me know if your sources have any mention of Rudolf Erren? I've seen him mentioned in passing as a "flying ace" and I imagine that's hyperbole but who knows. Please and TIA! jengod (talk) 17:30, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
