Shipwrecks
You are doing great work on WWI shipwrecks! Would you be able to use cite book or cite journal (whichever is appropriate) for the references? Mjroots (talk) 20:30, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry I did not see it earlier. I am not familiar with the cite book syntax so I need to read up on that. Seems a bit complicated - I am a slow learner... I stop where I am (dec 1917) until I have a better citation for the book. (On the other hand, I am busy finalizing a huge pdf copy of that official 1921 book [CC-old] for upload to Wikimedia, so in a short while I will have to redo all the references anyway...)

 * If the book is available online, just add the  parameter to the template and add the url. Mjroots (talk) 17:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
