Help me

{{helpme}} In this case should 1914 etc. be in a higher level than Crimean Encounter etc. even though it makes the less significant headings tiny ?Spudinator (talk) 18:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, that sort of question would probably be better sorted out on the article talkpage. //roux   18:24, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moltke class battlecruisers

Hi, Spudinator. I noticed you've been working on

featured topic. Like I said, I've been working on Moltke for a couple of months now, and have got it pretty much filled out prose-wise, along the lines of SMS Von der Tann, which I got to FA over the summer. I thought that you might be interested in such an endeavor, and we could help each other out, share resources, and so forth (I have a list of the books I own here). Anyways, let me know if that sounds like something you'd like to pursue. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 05:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply

Hello Parsecboy I don't know how much use I would be, I only have extremely limited sources and limited time on the wiki. But there is one thing I need answering, on SMS Goeben would it be better to leave the level 6 headings even though it makes them tiny but a level 5 heading seem out of place? Regards Spudinator (talk) 18:30, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's ok, we can still work together on the articles to the extent that you're available. I generally prefer to keep the sub headings to a minimum of four "="s (you can look at the Moltke article for how I generally format articles. USS Missouri (BB-63) is an example of a featured article with only two levels of section headers.) One thing to consider is how much can be said in each section; if you only have a few lines of text about a specific action, it's probably better to combine it with another section. A rule of thumb I use is if the battle was notable, and you can write a good-sized paragraph about it, it deserves its own section. If not, it should probably be merged.

Special thanks go out to

Dougweller and Frank
for nominating me, and I will try to take everyone's comments on board.

Thanks again for your participation. I am currently concentrating my efforts on

the Wikification WikiProject
. It's fun! Please visit the project and wikify a few articles to help clear the backlog. If you can recruit some more participants, then even better.
