• Support Wiki:MOSCAPS states: Military ranks follow the same capitalization guidelines as titles (see above). Thus, one would write "Brigadier General John Smith", or "John Smith was a brigadier general". While general use of ranks is most commonly in front of an officer's name, in article form, and grammar, ranks are not capitalized. The U.S. Code of law also use standardized grammar specifically 10 U.S.C. § 5501 which establishes naval ranks for federal uniformed officers. Neovu79 (talk) 03:02, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose this and the handful of similar moves. If this long running discussion is to be reopened, there should at least be a centralised discussion. Andrewa (talk) 05:00, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

• Support, although I would prefer a solution like this one through centralized discussion (but then again, the MOS can be considered a centralized discussion of course). Fram (talk) 12:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Coast guard flag.gif

Image:Coast guard flag.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

It's LTJG

Just noticed some different edits here. Some people have said LTjg, which may have been customary at some point. But CG and Navy correspondence guides say LTJG. Unless when it's in a news article, in which case it's Lt. j.g. as mentioned here, under "military titles/job titles". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pesco (talk • contribs) 03:08, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect Graphics

The pin-on insignia for all U.S. services shown here are incorrectly depicted as U.S. Army / U.S. Air Force first lieutenant insignia; the U.S. Naval Services (U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard), as well as the U.S. Public Health Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, use a silver-colored bar that does not have beveled edges. (See the illustration at Lieutenant (navy)#Rank insignia for correct depiction of non-beveled edge bars.) CobraDragoon (talk) 23:32, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
