OF-11[edit]

It is not clear why OF-11 was introduced in an edit in July 2015. This seems to have broken the equivalences in many of the pages on which this template is transcluded, for example Royal Navy officer rank insignia and Royal Netherlands Navy#Officers. Pages such as Ranks and insignia of NATO refer to OF-10, not OF-11. It looks as if it may have arisen from a confusion with U.S. uniformed services pay grades, as mentioned at Ranks and insignia of NATO#Comparison to other systems. I have therefore reverted it. If other pages on which this template was transcluded have taken account of the erroneous inclusion of the American OF-11 grade they may need correction. --David Biddulph (talk) 08:19, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
