[edit] Ranks

Over at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Military history there have been several discussion wehre it appeared that the general consensus was only to capitalis ranks when applied directly to a person, i.e. Flying Officer Smith, but Smith was promoted to flying officer, which was the approach I had been taking here, it's been changed, but since a number of other changes were also involved, I'm not goign to revert.

I have to admit to generally taking the line of least resistance on this one as well. I capitalise under all circumstances when I write an article but if I edit one where a consistent approach along the lines you mention is used, I don't alter it. I can see the arguments on both sides and it did come up in a peer review of one my articles but no-one adjudged it a serious issue. FWIW. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm probably not entirely consistent from article to article myself. David Underdown (talk) 12:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh, i wasn't aware of any consensus on capitalisation. Personally, it didn't look quite right to me, so i made the changes. I'll change it back to your system David, not a problem.--Celtus (talk) 07:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
