Comments based on HRS volume 7, pages 59 to 62
 * Christened by mayor Hofrat Josef Bleyer page 60
 * Regensburg escorded HMS Hercules with Allied Armistice Commission to Kiel page 62
 * Both added. Anything else from HRS? Parsecboy (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Originally planned to replace SMS Dresden p. 60
 * In the Caribbean? I thought SMS Karlsruhe was assigned to replace Dresden.
 * finished sea trials on 10 March and then assigned to the II. Aufklärungs-Gruppe p. 60
 * Added.
 * Commodore Heinrich's full name is Paul Heinrich, later Konteradmiral p. 60 & 61
 * Added.
 * 21 to 24 March bombarded Russian strong points and troops near Polangen and Papensee
 * Added.
 * 17/18 May 1915 mine laying in the Daggerbank p. 60
 * Added
 * 25 August 1915 destruction of lighthouse on St. Andreasberg and signal station Cap Ristna (Dagö)
 * Where should I link to for the first? St. Andreasberg redirects to a town in central Germany.
 * This just occurred to me: was this in some way related to the Battle of the Gulf of Riga that ended the week before?
 * This is likely. HRS speaks of the Finnischer Meerbusen (Gulf of Finland??)
 * 11/12 May 1915 mine laying north west of Texel p. 60
 * Added.
 * I have to research Andreasberg myself, I assume an old German name for a place on Dagö. Have a look at the German Wiki article, everything up to the Battle of Jutland (Skagerrakschlacht) is a very condensed abstract of what HRS are writing on pages 60 and 61.
 * Let me know if you want to explore things further otherwise I think she's ready to go? The article would benefit from an image though. MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think I have everything from the German wiki page. Is there anything else I can add? If not, she's ready on my end. Yes, it's unfortunate that a number of the light cruisers don't have photos of them. Or at least not photos of them we can use. Parsecboy (talk) 12:21, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
