(First comment)[edit]

Shouldn't the article be named "Unteroffizier mit Portepee", because UnteroffizierE ist plural. The german article is singualr as well (i.e. "Unteroffizier mit Portepee" instead of "Unteroffiziere mit Portepee").— Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.170.62.194 (talk • contribs) 10:26, 28 July 2007‎

Page move[edit]

This page was moved (without any discussion) to "Portepeeunteroffizier(e)", with the edit summary "Better translation". I'm not clear what this means (Portepeeunteroffizier isn't a translation of Unteroffiziere mit Portepee, the English would be "NCO(s) with sword-knot") but the original title matched the German WP page title, and it was also of a piece with the Unteroffiziere ohne Portepee page we already have. So I have moved it back.
I suggest if any move from here is desired then a requested move discussion be filed and some cogent reason why the original title is unsuitable be given. Xyl 54 (talk) 11:36, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

English or German[edit]

Is Unteroffiziere mit Portepee what this is known as in English sources, even though it's in German? Typically the English name would be the title and the intro would have the translation into German. -- Beland (talk) 02:21, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could only find a handful of English sources, but all used the German title. Category:Military ranks of Germany also mostly uses German titles. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:05, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
