Talk:MI8

message: http://www.angelfire.com/dc/1spy/acronyms.html#1m claims that MI8 "was responsible for monitoring broadcasts having to do with German bombers during the Blitz; also called the Radio Security Service," and that the branch "dealing with escape and evasion in World War II" - which seems more like what this entry describes - was MI9.
I note that MI5 says the same thing, so I'm going to move this there.
There's now an another entry Black Chamber that seems to duplicate much of this article.  One of these entries should probably redirect to the other, but which should be the main article?
: One thought...currently this article (MI8) deals with two MI8s, so it might be convenient to deal with the American MI8 in Black Chamber, and the British MI8 here, with a disambiguation header to point people in the right direction. — Matt 23:31, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: MI8

message: *This discussion, started by Sparkstersfury is being moved here from the article itself. It is also shown on the MI7 talk page for the same reason.
NOTE: FOR SOME REASON, IN THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE ON 'MI7' (WHICH ALSO MENTIONS Dr.No), IT SAY'S THAT THE "MI6" LINE WAS DUBBED OVER WITH "MI7" AND NOT "MI8" AS NOTED ABOVE.
WHICH ORGANISATION WAS IT DUBBED WITH, 'MI7' OR 'MI8'?

replies: text: A brief internet search quickly reveals multiple sources for this incident. The original words "MI6" were dubbed with the words "MI7" at this point in the film, even though an earlier reference to "MI6" was left unmolested - thus creating a continuity issue within the film. It also created a continuity issue within the series of films, as Bond's agency is clearly identified as "MI6" in many other Bond movies. There is no sign of any reference to "MI8". I have removed the material from this article, and provided two references at the MI7 article. There are many more available for those who fancy looking themselves!

thread_title: Bond Movie

message: Describing MI8 as being a cover name for RSS is incorrect and misleading. MI8 was War Office communications security and interception.  RSS was set up mainly by MI5 and GPO to control illicit radio transmissions in Britain. Control was shifted to the Secret Intelligence Service MI6 in May 1941. From 39 to 41 RSS was run under MI8c, a sub section of MI8.   If nothing else this error should be corrected because as it stands it gives the impression that MI8 WAS RSS and very little else.  Formed in 1914,  MI8 were running the huge network of Army Y stations around the world in WW2 and should be given full credit for it.  RSS should be relegated to a sub-set of this page or much better still given a page of its own because it continued operations  until 1947 and was only under MI8c for a short period. For MI8 information See -Nigel West, Historical Dictionary of Signals Intelligence. Stan Ames (talk) 22:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major error in title 

message: Despite an earlier refusal to "split" RSS from MI8, it is clear that to keep it here under the title of an outfit that controlled it only for a very short period during its infancy is just plain wrong. It was under the control of MI6 for most of its life and that's where it achieved its greatest success, not under MI8.  RSS was so secret that most details were classified until the 1990s and since then a large volume of information has emerged and it deserves to have a page of its own.  Removing it from the MI8 page will allow contributors to populate this page with information relevant to the wide ranging work of MI8.  Increasing the amount of RSS material on this page will only further mislead readers into thinking that MI8 was RSS. 
I know nothing of the politics and processes of Wikipedia, what would happen if I started an new page on RSS? Can someone help me here?Stan Ames (talk) 19:51, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
