Military rank insignia of Lithuanian Armed Forces
editHi, thank you for sharing these rank insignia images - they’re excellent, and I really appreciate your work on them. As part of the Ministry of National Defense’s recent “rebranding” initiative, Lithuanian heraldists have transitioned from gold to brass for rank insignias. This update, documented in an order from the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of Lithuania, was made to better align with the darker shades of the new uniform compared to past versions. The brass color helps maintain a cohesive, modernized look with the updated uniform standards.
If possible, please consider this adjustment for complete authenticity in your images. Thank you! Bellkass02 (talk) 18:43, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Happy First Edit Day!

Revert of removals of IDF ranks
editHi Skjoldbro, as a notification, I've reverted your recent removals of the IDF entries from numerous articles on military rank. Your edit summary simply claiming they were "irrelevant" is unhelpful and does not adequately explain the removal of what is in some cases sourced information; particularly since the ranks *are* relevant. If this is in regards to some wider discussion, I'd be happy to hear more about it, but as it stands it has the effect of looking like an edit motivated at vandalizing content referring to Israel, which I hope was not the actual intent. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 22:45, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Swatjester: Thanks for the heads up. This has nothing to do with the wider issues currently ongoing, and is simply about consistency. As to the edits, you might be able to explain, how 1) e.g. רב-סמל מתקדם is related Sergeant major, other than being a "Corresponding rank"? Lots of ranks are corresponding, that doesn't mean that should warrant inclusion. 2) What information is conveyed in the sections, other than the ranks existence? For Sergeant major, you didn't restore the one line "Sergeant major exists in Indonesia" How is the IDF section any different? 3) Apart from no proper information given, it also fails to include any sources. Thanks. Skjoldbro (talk) 14:21, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- רב-סמל מתקדם is not related to Sergeant major; however it directly translates to "Master sergeant" which is why it is unclear why you removed it as an "irrelevant corresponding rank" from the Master sergeant article. It's not a corresponding rank, it *is* the rank. The argument makes more sense for the other two articles, now that I see where you're going with it (in that it's not a *literal* translation as it is for Master sergeant, and I was mistaken about that in my edit summary), but does not make sense for the Master sergeant one. As to the other reasons, it was sourced on the Master sergeant article, and whether or not information beyond the rank's existence is included doesn't seem to be a reason for removing it -- certainly a future editor could expand upon it. I'll self-revert back on the Sergeant major and Chief warrant officer articles, but as mentioned I believe it was correct to include on the Master sergeant rank article. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 15:10, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- I think including anything other than litteral translations can be misleading and confusing. Official translations might change over time and are based on whether the country has a UK or US relation. The Danish Sergant[1] is officially translated as Petty officer,[2] inclusion at Petty officer would only cause confusion. Plus, most rank pages have a history/etymology only related to the page name. But I appreciate the discussion. Best. Skjoldbro (talk) 16:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
