– Standardization of naming with other military units in commonwealth countries, and WP:THE. There are surely other articles that are in scope of this discussion and I suppose categories should also be considered.--Labattblueboy (talk) 19:16, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further to that, I had a look at some Canadian insignia. Of what I've seen these units have "the" on their shoulder flash. GraemeLeggett (talk) 21:02, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's worth noting the UK regiment article name is Black Watch not 'The Black Watch'. It would seem silly for articles of the Canadian regiments to employ 'The' when the original UK regiments don't.--Labattblueboy (talk) 08:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • It doesn't matter if that's what happened with the British Army or if its contrary to Wikipedia's practices. The Canadian Army has not done that so there is no need to do this here. and as CndMCG has shown with the links to the official sources he as provided, what you are doing this contrary to official policy of the Government of Canada, the Canadian Department of National Defence, the Canadian Army and the involved regiments themselves.

    You misunderstand. The British Army likes its capitalised definite articles too. But Wikipedia does not. It doesn't matter...if its contrary to Wikipedia's practices. Of course it does. This is Wikipedia. We are not bound by the policies or desires of any other organisation. We have our own style. Please read WP:OFFICIAL. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:07, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
