Adolf Ulrik Wertmüller

Hi Welsh, thanks for fixing that link to Adolf Ulrik Wertmüller on the list of artists from the Philadelphia Museum of Art guide. In future, please don't fix these links, as that is the spelling used in the museum. It is better to create a redirect, in case that spelling is used by anybody else. There is no need to revert this one, as I believe this list has lost more "original name spellings" along the way, and I just created the redirect myself: Adolf Ulrich Wertmüller. Happy editing, and thanks again for locating him. Jane (talk) 08:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wilmer Stultz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Middletown, Pennsylvania.

1915 Daily Mail article differences

You seem to be the expert so I have a question, The Daily mail article (p. 10) has some differences about the history of HMS Britannia:

On Feb 15 1915 it was sold to the "well known breakers of battleships, Messrs, Hughes, Bolckow, and Co. (Limited), of Blyth ... from 1859 to 1905 she served continuously as a training ship for naval cadets ... Built in 1820 as a line-of-battleship the Britannia saw service in the Crimean War, when as flagship of Admiral Dundas she took part in the bombardment of Sebastopol on October 17, 1854 ... until the necessary alterations were made, in 1858, to fit for her new duties as a training ship" Daily mail article (p. 10)

Did the Daily Mail confuse two ships the HMS Britannia (1820) and HMS Prince of Wales (1860)? -- Esemono (talk) 23:26, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Britannia (1820) was decommissioned in 1869, at which point Prince of Wales (1860) was renamed Britannia. In short, yes, the article does not recognise the fact that 2 ships had the same name and role. welsh (talk) 03:38, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the confirmation. I was wondering who, either Wikipedia or Daily Mail, got it wrong. -- Esemono (talk) 03:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
