{{ping|User-duck}} Who is "Miller" in the GOH cites? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 20:10, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|Keith-264}} Publisher. I did not find "Reichsarchiv" in the cite. User-duck (talk) 20:21, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

::{{ping|Keith-264}} PS: Why is "DEFAULTSORT:Ypres 10 August 1917" ? User-duck (talk) 20:25, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

::Ah, the publisher is Mittler; the Reichsarchiv is the originator so I had better find a way to put that in. The defaultsort was probably a guess. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 20:26, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

:::The biblio details are here [https://digi.landesbibliothek.at/viewer/!metadata/AC03617667/1/-/] Keith-264 (talk) 20:29, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Keith-264}} My eyes are getting worse. Kind of a big mistake. I do not see "originator" or "Reichsarchiv" in the biblie details, {{para|via|Landesbibliothek}} would probably more useful. My German is weak but the best translation I can think of for "Reichsarchiv" is "State archive".

::::PS: I hate guesses. I would remove the DEFAULTSORT or change it to "DEFAULTSORT:Westhoek". If the sort key is needed for specific Catergories, it can be added there. User-duck (talk) 21:26, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

{{ping|User-duck}} p. 115 of Wells, N. J. (2011). Official Histories of the Great War 1914–1918. Uckfield: Naval & Military Press. ISBN 978-1-84574-906-4. has the editor so I've amended the LFN and put Foerster into the SFNs I've copied the translated title too. Keith-264 (talk) 07:04, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

:Proof copies were published in 1942 but the publication was in 1956 so I've amended that too and added a translation of the online library. Changed defaultsort to Westhoek at your suggestion. Pity I didn't look in Wells before. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 07:20, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

::{{ping|User-duck}} I fear that I'll have to revise the biblio details of every reference I've made to the GOH for the last ten years.... Regards Keith-264 (talk) 09:17, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
