message: The section on "Important Engagements" needs fixing, after all WWI and WWII were not engagements but wars containing many engagements. brill 14:19, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: The article states: "Modern operations include Cambodia, Sierra Leone, the Balkans, Middle East and Afghanistan."
I was not aware that any militia units have been mobalised since WW2.  Is the article perhaps refering to individual volunteers?  I will probably change this if no one objects. Cjrother 18:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK, they haven't; whoever added this probably means that personnel from that unit have been tasked on the applicable missions -- which could easily be said of almost every unit in the Primary Reserve. Chop away. --SigPig 19:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The QOR's Regimental Alliances are a source of great pride. There should be a listing of historical alliances as well, which I had put in but an anonymous edit removed. I would like the other contributors to weigh in.
Perhaps I could seperate the historical and current alliances and make it more clear that way. Ng.j 19:17, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: It is "The" Queen's Own Rifles of Canada because it is "The" Queen. Please do not change the name. Ng.j 18:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not the correct reason - ALL infantry regiments with a couple of exceptions carry "The" as part of their title. They are not "The 48th Highlanders of Canada" because it is "The" number 48...68.145.179.81 (talk) 14:35, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm interested in adding a section with the CO line since 1860. This would be drawn primarly from W.T. Bernard's official history. Would that be a useful contribution? Calydon (talk) 07:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I added Red Tilson to the list, namesake of the Red Tilson Trophy. His rank was lance corporal according to Veterans Affairs Canada. I'm unsure where to list that in descending order of precedence, then rank. Thanks for any help. Flibirigit (talk) 08:54, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: No. The regiment was named after Queen Victoria, and they remained "Queen's Own Rifles" throughout the reigns of Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII and George VI. Similarly the King's Own Rifles (in Moose Jaw) and the King's Own Calgary Regiment didn't change when Elizabeth II acceded. Indefatigable (talk) 02:28, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
