Talk:Fritz Brase

Some thoughts

 * I think the family life should be in its own section separate from his career. I can't figure out why the birth_place does not display in the infobox? I've seen a photo somewhere, though it's non-free, that I think we can use and will upload as soon as possible. Perhaps we can do a DYK but need to be quick about that but I have not done any for a long time, so it's your call. ww2censor (talk) 11:23, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi ww2censor, thanks for your edits.
 * Okay, will do a private life section next, but I can only put together your information there. I have never looked into his family or private life.
 * Why the birth place does not show in the infobox is a mystery to me as well. It all looks correct to me.
 * Thanks also for the photo. I've looked for one on Wikicommons, but did not find any.
 * As for a DYK, I have never ever suggested one and would not even know how to do it.
 * More importantly, I will change the lead sentence again, back to the bold full name. That is actually correct. The link you sent to MOS:CHANGEDNAME refers to changed names. But Brase never changed his name. "Fritz Brase" versus "Friedrich Wilhelm Anton Brase" is just the difference between his full name and how he was called. The correct reference would be MOS:BIRTHNAME. – Aklein62 (talk) 12:13, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The RTÉ interview gives more information about his life than I wrote.


 * I've also added a 2nd photo I found online. I previously looked for copyright free photos but did not find any. If the portrait was an Irish Army official portrait, then it would actually be free as that copyright would be only 50 years.


 * While he did not officially change his name he was not commonly known by his birth name, so if you change the name from how I did it, then, for clarity, you must also add a "commonly known as Fritz Brase" prose to the lede, particularly as that's the title of the article. I won't fight you on that but I think my way was much better and clearer for readers.


 * I'll investigate a DYK but it's now done on a QPQ basic, so I would have to review someone else's DYK. ww2censor (talk) 12:28, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
