Talk:Siege of Tsingtao

message: Austria-Hungary fought?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.176.100.142 (talk) 12:01, August 26, 2007 (UTC) 
Considering the Japanese had 7 times the number of casualties the germans had, the section "Attack" was utter rubbish by simply stating how easily the japanese drove the german defenders out of the city. I took it out, needs to be rewritten by an unbiased expert.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.66.36.189 (talk) 10:36, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The chinese did not delare war on Germany until 1917, why are they listed in the infobox? There were chinese who fought on both sides in this battle, but they fought within units of other countries and not under Chinese national units.XavierGreen (talk) 23:01, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: China?

message: I had an elderly relative who took part in the siege of Tsingtao. He told me that as the Japanese were unable to tell the difference between the European British and Germans all allied troops were issued with a special raincoat.
Does anybody else have any information about this?AT Kunene (talk) 18:36, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

message: "Jaguar sank the Japanese cruiser Takashio". May that be a mistake? S90 sank Takachiho, but there had not been 2 cruisers with those names in the Imperial Japanese Navy. --JuergenKlueser (talk) 16:13, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

message: According to the template: 727 killed. According to the article (penultimate paragraph): 248 (236 Japanese and 12 British). Unless 248 refers only to land forces and 727 to land and naval personnel...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.139.118.211 (talk) 11:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Picture that was in the infobox (No. 4).	Another picture in the same series (No. 3).
                                        	
The above-left picture was in the infobox until 28 February 2017, when an editor removed it, saying:
:This photo is about Sebrian War in This picture is about Sebrian War in 1904.
The description on Commons says:
:A Japanese lithograph, probably showing the Japanese fighting German troops during the conquest of the German colony Tsingtao (today Qingdao) in China between 13 September and 7 November 1914.
:Original caption: "The Japanese army defeated the German-Austrian Army near Usri [i.e. Ussuri], Siberia."
:Note: The prints of this series relate to the Siberian Intervention from 1918-1922. However, at that time there were no German or Austro-Hungarian troops anywhere in Asia. The Austro-Hungarian troops may refer to the sailors provided by the Austro-Hungarian armoured cruiser SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth for the defence of Tsingtao in 1914.

:Tsingtao ?
:The description of "German-Austria Army" is inadequate. But the Japanese government sent its armed forces to Siberia nominally for the purpose of "saving Russia and subduing Germany". The name of this postcard series is 救露討獨遠征軍画報 (Pictorial of the expeditionary force to save Russia and subdue Germany ). This picture is the same as No. 4 and it also depicts Battle of Usri (Battle at Usri area) like No. 3 of the same series = :File:The Illustration of the Siberian War, No. 3, The battle of Usri, Siberia (LOC ppmsca.08215).jpg. We can see same terrain and same planes in both pictures. Although the painter and the publisher confused with "German-Austria Army", this picture doesn't depict the Battle of Tsingtao.

thread_title:  Picture that was in the infobox 

message: The infobox says Allied Power...Strength...: 2 aircraft. Is it known, if there were land based aircraft? The seaplane carrier  had a load of 4 seaplanes of type MF.11. So what is the reason for 2? --JuergenKlueser (talk) 07:23, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of Aircraft 

message: In the Aftermath section, it says 4700 German prisoners.  In the infobox, the number captured is far lower.  ? Boscaswell talk 06:03, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
