Talk:Major general

message: Given that this is the English language version of the Wikipedia, it is likely that readers will be interested in UK and USA usage before German, Israeli or Korean.  I propose that the article is re-ordered with the ranks of English-speaking countries first.  What do people think? 88.105.139.68 17:38, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Those stars at the top of the page on the right are useless. They don't have a caption and are entirely too big. To the uninformed reader, they are completely unhelpful. Also, they are already shown below on the page. I've removed them twice for readability, only to have them re-added. So instead of having an unhelpful edit war, lets discuss it here.--Thomas.macmillan 18:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: it is perfectly reasonable to have a iconic representation of the subject heading the article. while it may be a bit out of scale, it is appropriate and should remain. --emerson7 | Talk 21:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe I found something more appropriate than an icon: a pic of three Major Generals during WWII (the Big One) during a transfer of aircraft from the USAAF to the Armée de l'Air . --SigPig |SEND - OVER 23:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

text: different...but definately not better. the article is about the rank and iconography. --emerson7 | Talk 23:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "Pakistan Army has two Female Major Generals, and it is the only country in the world that has promoted women to such a high post."
That can't be correct. I'm pretty sure that the general in charge of Abu Ghraib was a female Major General. I'll check and remove/ leave. TaylorSAllen 19:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not exactly correct at all. For instance, the USAF has had thirteen female Major-Generals: Norma Brown, Barbara Brannon, Trudy Clark, Elizabeth Ann Harrell, Marcelite Harris, Jeanne Holm (promoted 1973), Tiiu Kera, Susan Pamerleau, Teresa Marné Peterson, Polly Peyer, Lorraine Potter, Melissa Rank, and Mary Saunders; the US Air National Guard has had six: LaRita Aragon, Verna Fairchild, Cynthia Kirkland, Martha Rainville, Annette Sobel and Irene Trowell-Harris; the Air Force Reserve has had four: Linda Hemminger, Betty Mullis, Erika Steuterman, and Kathy Thomas; the Army National Guard has one, Jessica Wright; and the USMC has one, Mary Ann Krusa-Dossin. -- Necrothesp 01:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

message: In some other countries the explanation for why Lieutenant General is ranked higher than Major General is that the word Lieutenant is french for stand in or place holder and the Lieutenant General was the stand in for the General in the same way that the Lieutenant Colonel is the stand in for the Colonel. Better sourcing for either explanation is needed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.225.147.38 (talk) 15:17, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
