What Misplaced Pages Has Taught Me
1. When a British shell hits a German ship, that's a "hit," and the sinking is a "kill;" when a German shell hits a British ship, that's a "near-disaster," and the sinking would be a "catastrophe."
From Battle of Jutland:
| The first near-disaster of the battle occurred when a 12-inch (305 mm) salvo from Lützow wrecked "Q" turret of Beatty's flagship Lion. Dozens of crewmen were instantly killed, but a far larger catastrophe was averted when the mortally wounded turret commander, Major Francis Harvey of the Royal Marines, promptly ordered the magazine doors shut and the magazine flooded, thereby preventing the fickle propellant from setting off a massive magazine explosion. Lion was saved. |

What I Have Taught Misplaced Pages
Unbeknowgnst to most modern readers, about 20% of Misplaced Pages articles constitute 80% of traffic, if not more. Approximately 0.4% of those articles were written by me--- one of the original Wikipedians and writers. Thus, I wrote about 1.7% of all Misplaced Pages content read today.
