editThis page is screaming at me for a picture of the ring! my precious.... -Damien Vryce 18:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Correction needed (maybe)
edit"often reaching up to £4,500 in value" The little "£" thingie isn't showing up in the article text for me. Not sure if it's on my end or not.
Correction needed (maybe) (more)
editThe "thingie" I referred to above (which is not showing up here eithr) is a "Pound Sterling sign" (one of those squiggly "L"s).
Accompanying letter
editInformation about the accompanying letter is missing in the article.
Fair use rationale for Image:Deathsheadring.jpg
edit
Image:Deathsheadring.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:26, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Merger needed
editThis article and Totenkopf Ring should be merged. Both are at a similar state of development, but I think that the latter should be merged into this article, since this article's title is the official name of the ring.Wormcast (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Inaccurate information
editAccording to the article Himmler specifically instructed this ring to be worn on the left with symbolization to a wedding ring in mind: "Also, this ring symbolized possession of those who wore it, similar in many ways to a wedding ring, which is why Himmler specifically instructed the ring to be worn on the left." This is obviously an error made by someone assuming the same rule applies to all. The problem is that in German culture the wedding ring is worn on the right hand, as this is the hand you present to people. When meeting someone for the first time you shake hands (always right hands) and through this the marriage status can be made known. Americans and British wear wedding rings on the left hand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.216.148 (talk) 17:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
