Antiochus, I'm sure it's just a slip of the keyboard, but here you introduced a hyphen into "Trafalgar class". As I'm sure you know, the guidance at Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(ships)#Using_ship_class_names_in_articles (and more generally at WP:HYPHEN) state it should be "Trafalgar-class submarine" but "Trafalgar class". Thanks your your work on tidying up these articles. Shem (talk) 14:55, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should i wait for Turkish Naval Forces's deletion then click on move ? Or should i consult to an admin for moving the page ? KazekageTR (talk) 16:43, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, you don't have to consult with an Admin to move the page. As long as you do it properly it will be fine. For now, we should just wait until the "Turkish Naval Forces" page is deleted. Good evening. Antiochus the Great (talk) 16:48, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks mate.KazekageTR (talk) 16:49, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. --Mttll (talk) 12:41, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Military personnel figure is 455,653 according to the citation, not 660,000. Antiochus the Great (talk) 12:43, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Simple arithmetics: 455,653 + 203,783 + 4,624 = 664,060 --Mttll (talk) 13:09, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I understand what your saying, however, the 203,783 personnel belong to the Turkish Gendarmerie, and the 4,624 personnel belong to the Turkish Coast Guard. The Gendarmerie and the Coast Guard are both Paramilitary organisations, not regular military. At List of countries by number of military and paramilitary personnel, we have three different columns, one for "Active military", one for "Reserve military" and one for "Paramilitary". Therefore the 455,653 personnel should be under "Active military" and the 203,783 + 4,624 should be under the "Paramilitary". Thank you.

Turkish Gendermerie and the Coast Guard are very much part of the Turkish Armed Forces, so they are not paramilitary as defined in this article or in the article, paramilitary. Turkish village guards are the closest thing to a paramilitary organization in Turkey. --Mttll (talk) 15:50, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They are part of the Ministry of the Interior, and whose roles consist of territorial law enforcement and security (same as the French and Italian Gendarmerie). They are not standard military (i.e land, navy and air force). Furthermore, the 2010 International Institute for Strategic Studies source for Turkey at List of countries by number of military and paramilitary personnel lists the Turkish Gendarmerie and Coast Guard as paramilitary too. The "Active military" column only includes to land, navy and air forces from every country so we can make a better comparison. Thank you.

No, they are not part of the Ministry of the Interior by any way, shape or form, they are just subordinate to it in peacetime. They are formally part of the Turkish Armed forces.

The Turkish Armed Forces is composed of Land Forces Command, Naval Forces Command and Air Forces Command subordinate to Turkish General Staff as well as the Gendarmerie General Command and the Coast Guard Command, which are subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in peacetime and to the Land Forces and the Naval Forces Commands in wartime.

Hey man, after all the stuff to sort out the British page, I figure you've got a bit more experience on here than I do. Just sort of approaching for a tad of advise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_main_battle_tanks_by_generation

As you may note, the page currently displays (at time of writing) the correct element, that there are 3 generations of MBT and then "in development" ones. But someone has been perpetually trying to change it to show the Type 10 as a "4th generation tank", despite no such thing existing and they repeatedly do so without citations (more than one person even) other than an inaccurate Japanese one that they are misinterpreting. The same has gone for "3rd generation advanced plus" or whatever they wrote for many upcoming ones that again, are no different from just "3rd generation". Quality is subjective, it's not a separate list after all. They have changed it twice now despite corrections and even just state "I think" as reasoning, no sources.

How would one prevent this becoming an edit war? Having to constantly do the effort to correct it hardly sounds like an appeasing idea to me.

Thanks for any help,

I removed some photos you added to People's Liberation Army Air Force. I think you should be aware that the Republic of China (ROC) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) are not the same. They are respectively called by their common names of Taiwan and China. There is a long running and very heated political debate over Taiwan's status and the PRC and ROC are technically enemies in a cold war. Best to avoid such faux pas.
