According the german "Ehrenrangliste der Kaiserliche Marine" from 1930 a german Korvettenkapitän Waldeyer is not listetd. I think, its a mistake and a confusion with the later Fregattenkapitän Hugo von Waldayer-Hartz. MfG URTh (talk) 10:42, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

No, it's one and the same person. Waldeyer's father was elevated to hereditary nobility in 1916, thus the change in name. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 18:23, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

The reference to this ship as a an unprotected cruiser appears to be a mistake, it is definitionally a protected cruiser as it has an internal armored deck.  
The usage of unprotected cruiser is not cited in the article, with the citations using other terms like light cruiser.  The ship should be moved into either the protected cruiser or light cruiser category and referred to as such in the description.  
Gardiner & Gray refer to it as a 'light protected cruiser' being a smaller version of previous protected cruiser designs and a precursor to the Gazelle class light cruiser.  Not a development of the Bussard class unprotected cruiser as this article indicates.  
Erich Gröner refers to the ship a Kreuzerkorvette, a classification unique to the German navy and shared with the Irene class protected cruiser, both Gefion and the Irene class were later re-classed as a Kleiner Kreuzer (light cruiser), Gröner also emphasizes that Gefion was similar to the Gazelle class.  The German language version of this same article also does not use the term unprotected cruiser (Ungeschützte Kreuzer), but rather Kreuzerkorvette and Kleiner Kruezer.
