Talk:Chief of the Defence Staff (Canada)

message: Why the change to full names?  I can see mentioning a person's full name in an article about them but wouldn't it be better here to use the name that the person is usually referred to by?  For example I don't think I've ever seen John de Chasterlain referred to as Alfred John Gardyne Drummond de Chasterlain.  Cjrother 22:40, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Image copyright problem with Image:RickHillier01.jpg 

message: Hi, I was asked to review this so here it goes. Overall, this is looking very good, but I have a fundamental problem with this list. This list is essentially a much better version of Chief of the Defence Staff (Canada). All of this information should be in that article. Fundamentally, this list doesn't need to exist, it can be integrated into that other article.
I can see both positions, on the one hand, this could easily be merged. On the other, if it is merged, the tables might swamp the article. If it was merged, it would fall in the grey area between FA and FL. Which is it in that case. If it was merged I can't really see any scope for expansion. It is comprehensive and seems to cover every angle. The only thing I could think of would be to add the history of the rank: why was it created?
===A couple of small points anyway:===
;Lead
*Do we need to know that the general's surname was Bond "last name was Bond,". That is something for his article, not this one.
;Tables
*Can we rename the references column to notes? It makes the column a lot smaller without changing the meaning.
*You should fix the column widths so that all three tables have the same column size. It is much more aesthetically pleasing.
*I don't think the separate picture gallery is really neccessary. Some of these can be added to the lead, the rest should just go in the respective articles.
These are my early thoughts, regards. Woody (talk) 18:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I have trouble identifying in your source where it states that the logo of the CAF is also the CDS's logo. Additionally, the emblem is indeed used by the CDS. Skjoldbro (talk) 10:40, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey , the CDS uses the CAF badge to officially identify their office. This is seen for example on the official letterhead in this message: https://twitter.com/cds_canada_cemd/status/1253761676249378816. The source I linked also outlines the marks authorized for use on the distinguishing flags of general officers including the CDS, I linked the main page of chapter but if you're having trouble finding it, the PDF is a bit easier to navigate. While the image you linked does indeed show use of the emblem, it is depicting it as a part of what appears to be the CDS' challenge coin design and not the emblem of the office itself. I've not seen any use of that design outside of the image linked, whereas the CAF regularly uses the CAF badge and flag to represent the CDS.
