The final line of this section strikes as very POV in favor of Beaty - blaming the lack of a decisive victory on a subordinate's failure to disobey orders. I'm removing it.-- Lepeu1999 20:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Using Battle of Dogger Bank for the 1915 battle of the name causes confusion with the 1781 battle. Would be clearer to use the Battle of Dogger Bank page as a disambiguation page -- just as Battle of Lepanto, Battle of Ushant and Battle of Cape St. Vincent are disambiguation pages.

*Oppose convince me that this is not the major battle and that the first line of the current article is not sufficient as a disambiguation and I'll reconsider

I should explain my thinking. I changed the Battle of Dogger Bank page into a disambiguation page for several reasons:
I have taken your suggestion of submitting a request to the administrators. JimmyTheOne 21:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
"The Blücher demonstrated the ability of the German ships to absorb great punishment" - I would suggest this was more a demonstration of the difficulties inherent to sinking by gunnery warships that are already dead in the water, bulkheads locked down. magazines flooded etc. As an example, two years earlier HMS Empress of India took numerous hits HMS Orion's 13.5" guns (among many others) before slowly succumbing to progressive flooding; bear in mind that this was a vessel somewhat smaller than Blucher & of 19thC origins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.75.48.5 ( talk) 16:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Added a few of the missing citations but there's a few more to find. Keith-264 ( talk) 16:33, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
"It is possible that the "periscope" was actually a surfacing, run-out torpedo which had been launched 15 minutes earlier by the German destroyer V5", I don't understand. A torpedo boat is a surface craft. How could it be surfacing? That is something only submarines do. Billlion ( talk) 08:37, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
I believe it means that the torpedo, which had been fired by German destroyer V5, had run out and had begun to surface, and had been mistaken for a U-Boat's periscope. 79.69.205.81 ( talk) 11:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
The text currently says "In 1929, Julian Corbett, the naval official historian, recorded 792 men killed and 45 wounded out of the 1,026 crew on Blücher". Julian Corbett died in 1922 and was never 'the offical naval historian'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:3A92:C200:41A0:557D:C0A9:E659 ( talk) 21:41, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello all, I removed "obvious" from the sentence "Beatty tried to correct this obvious misunderstanding by ..." and was reverted per WP:OR.
I suspect "obvious" is itself OR if the legacy section is any judge, and WP:OFCOURSE potentially comes into play as well. That said, I don't have access to Massie's Castles of Steel to see if the word or a synonym is in that source. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:14, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
The caption under the film poster read:
However, this phrasing is misleading, as it seems to indicate that all the proceeds are going to orphans. But according to the poster that was an exception. The film is being shown daily, between the hours of 2:00 PM and 10:00 PM ("Ouvert de 14 hres à 22 hres"), for the price of 1 franc. In addition, there is a one-time private showing ("vernissage") on June 15, which costs 5 francs and will benefit orphans.
I've corrected the caption. — Lawrence King ( talk) 00:45, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
