Talk:Royal Green Jackets

message: Can someone find a citation about the VC's? I know that the RGJ have been awarded 55 out of 1355 VC's but was under the impression that the Army Medical Corps have been awarded more.

message: Twice the International controversy section has been deleted, the second time with the comment, "actions of 3 individuals whilst off duty should not be on recorded here".  I'm of the opinion that the information is accurate and relevant to the article.  I'm seeking other views here to see if there's a consensus one way or the other.  Please comment below. -- Pemilligan (talk) 00:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text:  If this section is allowed to be retained, then this should be consistent across all articles that discuss military units.   Each article should have a section that details any crimes that any unit members have been involved - off duty or not.  ...or is this section just in place because it is sensational?216.107.194.166 (talk) 16:47, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with IP above. This is not at all relevant to a regimental history, and smacks of sensationalism/memorialism. Retained as a See also link should anybody - although it seems unlikely - visit this article looking for information about the crime. JenniferGovernment 18:51, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

message: In the text of the article one finds "[The] RGJ marches at 140 paces per minute (at a 15" pace) whereas other regiments march at just 120 (with an 18" stride)." Now, I was a bit of a drill pig once, but not of the British flavour, so I find it odd that the pace is described as 18 inches for the standard 120/minute. I remember a standard pace as a 30 inches when marching at the quick, 33 inches if ordered to "Step OUT," 21 inches if ordered to "Step SHORT" and the standard check pass for executing drill movements on the march as 15 inches. In double time, the natural tendency is to lengthen the stride--a 15" pace at 140/minute would be very uncomfortable; I seem to recall it as 40 inches.

message: In the side box, the nickname is given as relating to senior officers. I had heard a different origin story.
I thought the nickname was given unfavourably during the Northern Ireland Troubles, when RGJ played a substantial role in the British Army's involvement. My understanding was that the nickname was intended as an accusation that the regiment was more heavy handed on patrol than it should have been. 
Has anyone else heard a similar explanation?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.16.209.123 (talk) 18:26, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

message: An editor has twice added the unsourced comment "The Royal Green Jackets have lost the copyright to the graphic design of the cap badge worn by the men who served, it is now owned by MEMORIAL AT PENINSULA LTD." Quite apart from the fact that it is extraordinary that the regiment has "lost the copyright" (because copyright of regimental insignia is owned by the Crown) the claim is unsourced and the editor says "this can be checked out in letters and copyright numbers all are listed with a solicitor". Per WP:CITE and WP:RS, the onus is on the editor to apply a citation, not on readers to have to contact a solicitor. Dormskirk (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
