Incorrect Illustration

Hello.

I would like to suggest a change of the first image in the English Wikipedia, which depicts the battle of Heligoland of the Second Schleswig War in 1864. This image shows the later conflict that included Prussia, Austria and Denmark, not the German Confederation and Denmark, as proved in this article: https://www.amrum-news.de/2020/03/10/amrum-blieb-deutsch/. Note the Austrian flags on the ships.

Therefore, I would propose a picture that is in the German version of the article, https:/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/6/63/Seegefecht_vor_Helgoland_1849%2C_Gem%C3%A4lde_von_L%C3%BCder_Arenhold_um_1905.jpg.
