[edit] French ranks
Just a little note: if I remember well, the ranks for the troops on foot and on horseback (and units considered descendants of both) are one in golden appearance and the other in silvery appearance. David.Monniaux 06:27, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Canadian Ranks
Note: Added French rank names to Canadian section, following the Belgian section lead. Source: http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/about/ranks_f.asp RealMontrealer 20:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Note: Officer Cadets wear a single thin gold bar on their epaulletes
Wondering whether a photo should be added for Canadian Officer Cadets? They have a single, half-bar, rather then a full bar as the second lieutenants —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.74.45.217 (talk) 03:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Warrant Ranks
The only officer grade WOs with NATO codes WO1-WO5 are those of the United States Armed forces. The Warrant Officers of the other countries listed here should be included in the enlisted rank structure (i.e. NATO 'OR' codes)--LONDON 12:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Most countries have Warrant Officers but they are nearly all enlisted ranks (i.e. NATO codes OR8 and OR9)and apart from the US Warrant Ranks shouldn't be listed here--81.145.241.10 16:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ImageIT-Army-OF9.jpg
Image:ImageIT-Army-OF9.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 this Wikipedia article 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 08:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Maresciallo d'Italia
There is no such rank in Italian Republic (is an old war time rank of the Kingdom of Italy...). --F l a n k e r 16:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- You are perfectly right ! The rank was abolished in 1946 and it was never considered again, not even as an honorary rank, during the modern Italian Republic history. Moreover, I have recently seen in the article a weird conjectural insignia for the hypothetical Italian OF-10 rank. It was made with a tower and four stars, in a complete lack of present or past references and against the ancient insignia traditions. In fact, according to the official Italian Army website when before 1946 some marescialli existed, they wore 4 stars (or stripes) insignia. When in 1938 the "Primo Maresciallo dell'Impero" (Empire first marshal) rank was created for the king and Mussolini uniforms, it was made using a double wreath instead of five stars, like U.S. top generals. I am pretty much sure that modern Italian military organisation has no room for a five stars general and even in this hypothetical case, the “towered” insignia is barely realistic. --EH101 21:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect
There should be a redirect from List of the ranks and insignia of NATO armies officers. 76.16.188.239 (talk) 03:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- I assume you mean a redirect from the red link you quote to this page? If so, why should there be a redirect? And if you feel strongly about it, why don't you create it? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hungarian Insignia
The shoulder-pieces you display here are actually mixing duty-uniform forms and parade-uniform forms. Most displayed are parade versions, but not all, and not consistent. This also applies for the enlisted ranks on the Ranks and insignia of NATO armies enlisted page. See also Hungarian Ministry of Defense, Ranks. Someone should upload the correct pics (the duty versions), and correct that. Szabi (talk) 20:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
