I'll get to this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:46, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

the Habicht class Suggest changing this to "her class" with a link to the class article. Using the ship's name in quick succession reads poorly to me
Done
Link South Pacific, captain, landing party, non-commissioned officers (or would petty officers be a better term?), floating drydock
Done (and on petty officers, that's an Anglo-American thing for the most part - the Germans used maat, obermaat, and vizefeldwebel)
FYI, cylindrical boilers are Scotch marine boilers, which is a little more precise than the general category of fire-tube boilers.
Good point
Herero Wars German South West Africa missing word?
Fixed
German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) redundant to the usage in the lede
Removed
Screw propeller seems redundant. Are there other types of propellers in use at this time?
No, but I've had people get bent out of shape over the years because the proper term is "screw propeller" - plus, it helps introduce non-nautical folks to the use of "screw" by itself to refer to the propeller - but I won't die on this hill, if you feel strongly about it
Nah, just reads oddly to me.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:33, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
which supplied missing word
Good catch
Otto Livonius have a speech ?
Whoops!
patrol the south Pacific capitalization
Fixed
Down to the second cruise, more later--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:05, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
But beginning in 1886 Starting a sentence with "But" reads oddly. I'd suggest deleting it and adding a however after the date instead
Removed, but then I'll get the "however" guy coming along later to remove it
Are all of these commanders truly notable?
They all reached flag rank - at some point I'm planning on writing articles on them (provided I can get a copy of Hildebrand's Deutschlands Admirale'] that isn't excessively priced) 
Nothing available through ILL?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:58, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
I haven't really looked, since I don't want to have the hassle of needing to scan everything in a short time period - what can I say, I'm lazy ;) Parsecboy (talk) 14:30, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
