Suggestion[edit]

G'day Ruth, I did a little copy editing/made a couple of minor adjustments. Please feel free to revert if you don't agree with these. I have one quick suggestion. For B-class, I think the lead will need to be expanded a bit more. Currently it is a single sentence, but I think it would need to be at least three or four. Thanks for your efforts so far.

G'day, nice work expanding the article. One thing I notice now is that there are two "Family" sections. This seems a little counterintuitive. Perhaps it would be best to merge the two. Thoughts? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:42, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist[edit]

I wonder if this 20th C field marshal was a relation? Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 07:52, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He was. Henning Alexander was from the main branch, Paul Ludwig from the side branch of Damen-Garbnicken. GELongstreet (talk) 12:33, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
