Photographs[edit]

Regarding the Customs and traditions section, one of the photographs there shows a uniform that is out of date, Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP). That can be removed and possibly replaced. Dreddmoto (talk) 14:28, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That photograph was removed from the Customs and traditions section and added to the Uniforms of the Royal Marines article. --Dreddmoto (talk) 00:21, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Photographs of selection and training[edit]

Regarding the section titled Selection. The first photograph there is obsolete and is from 1996. It is not helpful in showing modern selection or training in the RM. It could be replaced with an image that is more recent. Suggestions would be welcome. --Dreddmoto (talk) 03:42, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for consensus[edit]

Two views of what this article describes seem to exist. One is that it describes solely the Royal Marine Commandos. The other is that it describes the Royal Marines in general, starting with their history and moving forward to today and the foreseeable future. This version includes obviously the commando portion.

I believe that the latter view is correct. In order to avoid edit wars, could we reach a consensus about which is correct? Bluenose Gunner (talk) 14:11, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I support the view that the article should describe the Royal Marines in general, starting with their history and moving forward to today and the foreseeable future. Dormskirk (talk) 17:10, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Commando Helicopter Force[edit]

@Blackshod: you have repeatedly removed content, despite all the p&g that have been cited for you each time the content was reinstated. After the last time, you removed it again, without so much as a single word posted here. As such, I have started this thread for you, to give you an opportunity to explain your edit properly, instead of by way of very brief and vague edit summaries. - wolf 06:12, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ranks and Insignia - "the table above"[edit]

Higher ranks followed the equivalence on the table above.

There is no table above. Is there a table elsewhere to refer to? -- Avocado (talk) 20:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the comment for now. Dormskirk (talk) 21:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
