The section on the Pakistani messes is, in its entirety,
I suggest we delete that section. Any objection? Narsil 17:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
The section on the US Navy reads,
That's inappropriate for the main entry page; it should be here, on the "discussion" page. Anyone object to my moving it from there to here? Narsil 17:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
"In the Israeli Navy, although Hebrew speaking, Dining rooms in the Saar 5 Missile Boats, and the kitchen in the Patrol Boats are named Messes, Crew Mess and Officer's Mess." I understand what's trying to be said, but this is pretty incoherent. Could someone with more knowledge clean it up a bit? Makgraf 09:33, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Is the mess different from a military canteen? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I came to this article hoping to find out why it's called a 'mess' and couldn't find anything. Can anyone find out and add an etymology section-- Jeff79 ( talk) 10:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
A lot of articles on wikipedia have an Etymology section. It's pretty normal. Dictionaries contain a word's definition. No one expects a dictionary to have an explanation of the word's history/usage.-- Jeff79 ( talk) 05:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
The 'original research' tag (on the line about owing a round of drinks if you forget to remove headgear before entering a mess) doesn't seem warranted. As this is a tradition, it would be hard to find a written source for it, but that doesn't change the fact that it is common knowledge in the Navy and unlikely to be disputed by anyone, so does not require verification. Unless the person who added that tag is disputing it? It's not the interpretation or conclusion of one individual either. If no one comments on this in one month, I'll remove the tag.

We need to give it a better name. Mess has many other common meanings and this needs not be considered wp:primary. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> ( talk) 11:22, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Isn't the German HBG (Heimbetriebsgesellschaft) more like the NAAFI, than a mess? If agreed upon, should the text be removed or revised? Creuzbourg ( talk) 14:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
