 * Christened by the mayor of Breslau
 * Added. Parsecboy (talk) 20:57, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Initially only 3 smoke stacks, the 4th was added after initial sea trials (reason unknown)
 * That's not supported in Gröner who shows four funnels in the 1912 drawing.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:39, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I leave this up to you what to make of the info, maybe a footnote? MisterBee1966 (talk) 13:19, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Added it in as a note. Parsecboy (talk) 20:57, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * HRS page 142 state, hit by 5 mines, 330 killed but only 133 saved and taken POW
 * Added a line on the discrepancy. Parsecboy (talk) 20:57, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 2 dabs: Boiler room and Sinope
 * Fixed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:18, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * crew size is 354 up to 374 (HRS p. 139), both figures do not match 330 killed plus 133/162 rescued
 * Crew size always expands during wartime, but I have no detailed information.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:39, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Armament in 1916 was 2 × 15 cm SK L/45 guns; 10 × 10.5 cm SK L/45 guns after the battle at Odessa in April 1915. Midilli was refiited at the shipyard O.I.I. (Osmanli Imparatorlügü Istinye, Tersanesi). The 10 × 10.5 cm SK L/45 guns were replaced in July 1916 – April 1917
 * This is a little confusing. My sources state two 10.5 cm guns were replaced by 15 cm guns by Feb. 1916. I don't have a good date for the replacement of the others so I can incorporate your data if you can provide complete bibliographic info.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:39, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The source from Hownam-Meek is not used/referenced maybe move to a further reading section?
 * I've moved it back into the refs as I used it to cite the 5 mines.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:15, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
