Talk:Helmut Woltersdorf

Gun Camera footage of shoot down of Manchester L7497?
The above mentioned aircraft was shot down by Wolterdorf in March 26, 42 of which your article mentioned "gun camera footage" from the Dornier Do he was flying. How can I find this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.194.54 (talk) 20:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The footage I'm not sure about. Foreman, Matthews and Parry have included a still shot of it - the moment the bomber catches fire. It is on page 36 of their book. Dapi89 (talk) 20:34, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Recent edit
I reverted the recent addition (diff), for two reasons:


 * 1) Wikipedia is not a reliable source
 * 2) Current consensus on the Wehrmachtbericht transcript is not to include them in the article.

Please let me know if there are any concerns. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:03, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No concerns. It was to remove the cn tag, nothing more. Dapi89 (talk) 20:35, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Grave info
This information is not cited in the article. In addition, Wikipedia is not a grave directory and this is OR and fails WP:DUE. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:18, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Re: re-added grave info, where does this information come from? And does it need to be included? K.e.coffman (talk) 21:05, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * So? It's relevant to him! Hardly undue weight, and was a citation needed tag added back to the article? Dapi89 (talk) 17:02, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Notability
Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions. The article's prose consists mostly or WP:OR / WP:SYNTH based on a primary source which does not provide the content the article purports to summarise; please see the source in question Luftwaffe Night Fighter Combat Claims, 1939-1945. The rest of the copy is sourced to an off topic source.

No de.wiki article exists. Did not hold a significant command and topped out as Oberleutnant. Successful completion of missions (sorties flown, # of enemy aircraft shot down, etc) is not part of SOLDIER. A MilHist RfC on this topic has failed to gain consensus in May of 2017:
 * MilHist:RfC on the notability of flying aces.

Hence the redirect. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:10, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
