Talk:South American dreadnought race

The links to Minas Geraes' ship history and images as given on the linked reference is wrong as of this message. The history is actually located here in .doc format. The two images have been uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons as File:Minas Geraes MdB.JPG and File:Minas Geraes MdB 2.JPG, and the correct links on the navy's website are here and here.

 * Histórico de Navios frequently goes down for extended periods of time—as of this message, it has been offline for several weeks. Those needing a copy of any of the documents on Histórico de Navios that are referenced in this article may feel free to email me using Wikipedia's email user function, and I will be happy to help.

 * Confirming again that the site is still giving an error message. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 22:07, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Noting that the two images and some of the referenced webpages (but not the docs) are archived here. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:45, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The site is now available here. URLs should be altered by replacing "biblioteca" with "sistemas" and removing /internet. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 07:09, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * And as of this message, the site is now down once again. I have not found a replacement. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 01:36, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It is now available again. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It now appears to be located at marinha.mil.br/dphdm/historia/historico-dos-navios, but clicking to enter the site results in a "you are not authorized to access this page" error. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * While the site is still unavailable for viewing, their PDF ship summaries can be found with trial and error. These appear to be updated/rewritten and are not the same as the documents I used in writing this article. See for examples Minas Geraes,  Sao Paulo, Bahia, and Rio Grande do Sul. Theoretically you can find more on the Internet Archive, but there's 34 pages to wade through. Ed [talk] [OMT] 01:29, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
