Currently the By country section includes countries that don't have marines but have army units with the amphibious warfare role. They are not actually marines so why keep them in this article? They could be moved to the List of marines and naval infantry forces article which could be renamed as List of amphibious forces. Dreddmoto ( talk) 15:59, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
Thanks Ominae. One improvement that would result from moving those countries to the other article would be to reduce the length of the By country section. Doing that would reduce the large number of photographs there, some of which don't appear alongside the country section they portray. One example is the photograph of Japanese soldiers that actually appears alongside the Korea, South section.
What do you think? -- Dreddmoto ( talk) 21:39, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
Currently, the introduction and history section include modern photographs of Spanish and Finnish marines which also appear with the country sections they portray. That is duplication. The introduction and history section could be improved if those photographs were replaced with others from wikimedia commons, like this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USS_Wasp_Vs_HMS_Reindeer_Engaged_In_Combat.jpg or this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:160414-N-QF605-124_(26412609076).jpg Dreddmoto ( talk) 22:05, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
Ckfasdf, thanks. I'll add that. -- Dreddmoto ( talk) 16:07, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
