Hi Husnock - I just moved your talk archive out of the main namespace - see the link above for its current location. Cheers --Rlandmann 21:02, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! -Husnock

ST: Motion Picture Ranks

Are you sure this rank refers to ensign? I think ensigns supposed to be no insignia on ST:TOS as well as ST:MP. If thats the case two lists can be merged. --Cool Cat 03:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture had no rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. This is established in several offical sources from the producers of the film (there also was no rank of Fleet Captain in the Motion Picture). Also, the original sereis rank stripes were of a different style, fabric, and color than the later motion picture ranks. Motion picture stripes were more "metalic". Please do not remove the Motion Picture column from the Star Trek rank article. Thanks -Husnock

I waited for your opinion ;) --Cool Cat 03:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wiki Ranks

If you check out my user page youll see SF ranks for wikipedia, what do you think? --Cool Cat 08:14, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

More power to you -Husnock

Movie Pins

That wasnt my intention, you see, I was planning on breaking up pins into smaller, reusable parts that way theya re generic (hence derivable ranks) -Coolcat

Please, please, please leave the movie pins alone. There is absolutely no reason to modify or change them. The article is pretty much at a complete stage now. There shouldnt be anything to correct except for factual errors and new info from official sources. Thats my opinion. -Husnock

As you wish... --Cool Cat 22:16, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Additional articles

Do you have another "rank" article I can help? Having generic pips is very usefull as you see :) --Cool Cat 22:17, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Im focusing more on my Nazi Germany articles now. Thanks, though. Good luck with the NATO one. -Husnock

US Ribbons

Good work on presenting the recent US medals for Iraq and Afghanistan. I do wish to let you know that every so often, I will be uploading new versions of the military ribbons (a bit cleaned up, in my view). I also wish to ask do you think the Iraq ribbon can be placed under the GWOT section? Zscout370 02:10, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The Iraq Campaign Medal is deemed to be a service medal for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, considered in the order of service medals to be separate from the War on terrorism (although no doubt linked). -Husnock

• Ok, well, one thing I mentioned on the Awards talk page is that I will be putting the images in the png format. The gifs are not bad at all, however, I believe Misplaced Pages wants still graphics to be png, while the animated images be gif. Zscout370 03:30, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You've got mail!

I hereby award you with the Working Man's Barnstar for your continious non-stop work on various articles most notably the Ranks and Insignia of Starfleet. Congratulations. --Cool Cat 07:03, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Star Trek Templates

Keep in mind that templates are usable in other articles as well. --Cool Cat 22:10, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Good idea with the templates. It freed up a lot of article space and, like you said, can now be used in other articles. -Husnock

Another thing, want to do Klingon, Romulan, Bajorian ranks? Also check out the Ranks and Insignia of NATO, should we incorporate that format to this article? ie

ranks era1 era2 era3... a rank insig1 2 and 3

to

Era rank1 rank2 era1 insig1 insig4 era2 insig2 insig5 era3 insig3 insig6

This way all eras will have their own template. --Cool Cat 08:59, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

NATO insignia

I cant find any picture of the ranks worn by supreme nato generals, nor can I find the rank insig of the general in charge of us military, if such a thing exists, I mean the first non politician above all other military aside from Supreme NATO generals which are Officialy, Formaly, and Nominaly are in charge of all armies of Nato. --Cool Cat 09:02, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

As far as I know, there is no "supreme NATO insignia". NATO commanders are mostly four star generals (or equivalents). With the exception of the United Kingdom, I dont think there are any active duty 5 star equivalents in service. And, even in the UK, the five star ranks such as Field Marshal and Admiral of the Fleet are honorific in the modern age. -Husnock 14:46, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

They are 4 star generals on a position where they diplomaticaly appear above all, I know they have their regular 4 star us pin + something on it. I dont know what. --Cool Cat 22:14, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

None of my business but...

Why do you use === instead of ==? You can use = and ==, that way people do not accidentaly post a == via a +. --Cool Cat 22:14, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It is the way I have my talk page set up. -Husnock

Fictional Medal of Honor receipients

I think that in the movie "The Manchurian Candidate" (2004), the one of the main characters won the CMH in the early course of the movie. Zscout370 20:22, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That was the person elected the vice president, former Sgt. Raymond Shaw. --Cool Cat 09:06, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

His name was added to the list, which I think it is a good list to have on the page. Zscout370 14:53, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Reichsfuhrer-SS

Hi, - I just saw your Wikistress levels on your user page " a bit tense" and realised I should have been treading a bit more carefully ... No offense or assault on the article was meant. You are doing great work. I still think though references to fiction are slightly inappropriate, or otherwise a much larger section on SS etc in literature would be a worthwhile undertaking. Fatherland is a brilliant novel, but in teh end only one among many alternate histories and other attempts to deal with teh horror of the time in a literary fashion. Refdoc 22:54, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You made a very good point about having the fiction info in the article. I am redoing the format to have fiction in its won section. Then it can be moved out when and if someone creates the Third Reich in Literature article you mentioned. No offense was taken...I just wanted to talk about it. -Husnock

Schout bij Nacht

Hi, Thanks for correcting grammar :-/ I gave some explanation on the origin (and maning) of the rank in the talk section of Admiral. Further: I disagree with your mentioning about admiraal, still being an official rank. It can be found on navy listings and flag protocols, but that has mainly to do with tradition. In a few other sources (government, NATO) the rank seems to be scrapped. Rob. (btw I cannot sign here, I don't have account on the English Wiki-pages)

Ranks and Insignia of NATO

What do you think? --Cool Cat 07:05, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Hey there Husnock! First of all congratulations on your two barnstars. I havent had the pleasure of reading any of your articles, I believe, but you have been here since April of 2004 and already got a barnstar plus a high worker's barnstar, that is quite an achievement! I have been here since 2002 and have gotten only one barnstar. Ive been suggested that maybe its because of the nicknames I give myself that a lot of users dont like them. I only do that to make people laugh a little. Anyways, you are a credit to our encyclopedia and I hope you keep up the quality work and stay with us for about 50 more years working!!!

I wanted to say I totally agree with you on the issue about John Paul II's title about "His Holiness". I know that boxing and religion have little in common (although I found a reference to pugilism in a Bible verse once, cant remember which verse it was) anyways, you know, former world champion boxers are always called "champion" or "world champ" by their fans and followers out of respect even if they dont hold a world title anymore. I think His Holiness is right out of respect just like I consider Muhammad a prophet out of respect too although Im a Christian.

Like we both have said on the talk page, furthermore, if His Holiness is erased based on POV issues, then hundreds of other pages containing honorable titles, such as Bill Clinton (42nd President, even through hes a FORMER president in reality) would have to have these titles erased as well. Too long of a task if you ask me.

I respect your opinion and like the fact we both agree on it. I look forward to reading some of your work soon. Whats more, send me some pages you have done cause I cant wait to read your work!

Thank you and God bless you! Sincerely yours, "Antonio Homie Boy Martin"

Thank you for the wonderful comments! It was sad to see many attacking that article. The "His Holiness" issue was flat out anti-Catholic trying to hide behind the POV issue. In any event, its great that we can stick together on this website and uphold the truth. -Husnock

MoH Rosette Image

Hey man, I am not offended at all by you removing my PNG image of the MoH rosette, since you are right about the jpg image. The reason why I drew it is that we can have a small picture of the rosette, and plus since I drew it, any copyright problems will be gone. Though since you list that anything from the DoD is PD, then there is no copyright problems either.

You know what Husnock, come to my talk page, because I need to work with you on the ribbon images that I have redone for the past few weeks now. Zscout370 18:08, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Rankings

Greetings Luetenant! I hope you dont mind me calling you by the rank, I believe you should be sick of being refered by the rank.

What do you think? --Cool Cat 01:12, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

First of all, you call call me by my rank, but User Name would be better. Second, the talk page of your pilot project speaks for itself. People will probably not go for it. -Husnock

USMC Ranks

Hey. I am not quite sure if you seen this yet http://www.tecom.usmc.mil/vim/IMU/pages/logos.htm. I am sure there will be a few things in there that we can use, since they are all PD. Zscout370 01:09, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pope

I haven't changed any tag on any photo released by the Vatican. I have only added tags to photos *I* have uploaded. You are lying and you will be reported. —Cantus…☎ 03:42, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
