Semi-protected edit request on 21 December 2018

[edit]

Capitalization of ranks are inconsistent. My request is to change ranks like “Command sergeant major” to “Command Sergeant Major.” 73.249.9.213 (talk) 14:47, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: This is a WP:PERENNIAL concern. Local consensus is for ranks to not be capitalized. @Necrothesp: can correct me if I'm wrong about this.  Spintendo  08:47, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, you're completely correct. We decided this years ago, although we previously did capitalise them. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:34, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Suggestion to change title of US Army rank "Private Second Class" under OR-2 to "Private (E-2)" and title of US Army rank "Private" under OR-1 to "Private (E-1)" per https://www.army.mil/ranks/. Click on rank indicated, read article from the Army on the rank and it's name. "Private Second Class" is not a rank in the United States Army at this time. 153.26.178.61 (talk) 17:47, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The source you provide doesn't specify E-1 or E-2, it just says Private (unless I'm missing something). The request immediately above this one provides specific sources naming the ranks as they are currently in the template. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 13:17, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see what you're talking about now. The problem I have with this is that the rest of the ranks also follow this pattern, and we aren't saying "Specialist (E-4)" or "Sergeant (E-5)", etc. I'm inclined to follow the previous sources for now. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 13:20, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
