Units Mercedes D.III
Hi Maury Markowitz, I edited your article on Mercedes D.III after noticing many units had no convert template. Good job generating this article. One thing that still needs fixing is the fuel and oil consumption per hour does not state whether it's US gallons per hour or imperial gallon per hour. I'm assuming the original unit was metric? I've tried the citation but cannot access the actual source, it depends who wrote the book, a Brit or an American? Do you remember or do you have the book used for the citations? Many thanks, Avi8tor (talk) 16:03, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Maury Markowitz. You've added references for "Mark 1986" to CodeWarrior, but no such work is defined in the article. You did also add two cite for Mark 1996, is this meant to refer to one of those? If not could you add the required cite to the Bibliography section or let me know what work this refers to? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 14:53, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
