Hi @Excommunicato, may I ask you why you undid my revamp of the infobox? I've been re-doing all the Marshals and main generals, and you undid this one for what reason? Coldstreamer20 (talk) 01:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moncey was above all else a military officer, so there's no reason to replace Template:Infobox military person with Template:Infobox officeholder. "Inspector General of the Gendarmerie" and "Governor of Les Invalides" are military posts, not political offices which is what the officeholder template is used for. These can simply be stated in the military infobox as "Other work" instead of creating a unnecessarily long infobox. Also not an improvement to replace the previous infobox image, a high quality portrait painting, with an engraving that has no indication whatsoever of being his "Official Marshal's Portrait" as the caption claims.

While I don't agree with you, I appreciate the response, thanks for expanding it for me. Coldstreamer20 (talk) 21:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
