[edit]I do not know who the IP users are who edited this page. I hope they let me know, though. The article is better, thanks to their input. Cheers, Guapovia 09:19, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
The previous version (prior to 28 Dec 2007) of this article referred to an enlarged ventral fin. I have examined pictures of the plane and can see no evidence of a ventral (i.e. under the fuselage) fin, so I have changed the text to read "dorsal fin". If somebody has better information, feel free to revert the edit. Thanks. Raymondwinn (talk) 21:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

- @ M Van Houten, short sentences are pointless when the subject is the same, citations in the middle of sentences get in the way so if they aren't contentious I put them in order after the full stop and The D.Va was also fitted with a small diagonal brace connecting the lower section of the forward interplane strut to the leading edge of the lower wing, which was [also] retrofitted to some D.V aircraft. how about this then? Regards Keith-264 (talk)
- Well, moving the citations out of the middle of the sentence I can live with. But I think splicing sentences is problematic because the combined sentence often loses something in clarity. In this specific case, it sounds like the D.Va lower wing was retrofitted to some D.V aircraft. Best regards, M Van Houten (talk) 02:28, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- I suppose that to an extent it's a matter of preference but I find short, staccato sentences just as difficult. I've altered the brace again but if you don't like it, I'll accept your version. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 07:51, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

- " Front line pilots were considerably dismayed and many preferred the older D.III; Manfred von Richthofen was particularly critical of the new aircraft." That's a semicolon that works! Well executed. Best regards, M Van Houten (talk) 17:49, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

- Ah, I can see why. The lang de is to stop bots reading German as a typo. Keith-264 (talk) 15:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. There're better ways to do that, such as with {{Proper name}}, a redirect of {{Not a typo}}. BilCat (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
