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)
I would certainly agree, the internet is not exclusive to english speaking countries and the Alphabet is fair. [Dan]
Alphabetizing the countries using the English alphabet could be seen as NPOV because it does not adequately represent users of the Cyrillic alphabet, kanji, etc. Perhaps they should be randomized. -- VAcharon 13:47, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
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)
"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)
Okay, Janis Karpinski, the commander there, was a Brigadier general at the time (now demoted to colonel) but at least one US women has been a Major General, namely Kathy Frost TaylorSAllen 19:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
You can add MajGen Margaret Woodward [1] to the list of AD USAF women to have risen to this rank (as of 1 Apr 2011). DriverDave79 ( talk) 21:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
In this section, we state that the Austrian rank Feldmarschallleutnant was equivalent to 'Major-General'. In September, an anonymous user added a line disagreeing, stating that this rank was equivalent to Lieutenant-General instead. Since the Austro-Hungarian Army article uses 'Major-General' for Feldmarschallleutnant, I've kept that definition and removed the other one, but it would be useful to find a reference which could settle the dispute conclusively. Can anyone provide one? Terraxos 22:08, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

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)
