The result of the proposal was no move. JPG-GR ( talk) 06:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Rear admiral (United States) → Rear Admiral (United States) — To conform with the other United States military rank articles on Wikipedia. Wiki:MOSCAPS Lists military ranks in two distinct general uses. I am trying to get a consensus for the article name. — Neovu79 ( talk) 21:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia's naming conventions.Hmmm.... I guess the problem is, when used as someone's title it does get the caps, and when used to describe the rank in text it doesn't. I can argue this one either way, and obviously it's intended as an important precedent either way. The MOS on military ranks and and also other precedents such as Crown Prince oppose the proposal, and I'm tending that way too. Andrewa ( talk) 19:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
The terms "Lower Half" and 'Upper Half' raise an obvious question: Upper or Lower Half of what? Perhaps WP can answer this question. Donfbreed ( talk) 06:35, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
Having two rear admiral ranks is not unique to the US Uniformed Services. Romania has a contraamiral de flotilă (one star) and above that a contraamiral (two stars). 80.123.210.172 ( talk) 22:08, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
"Rear admiral" has always sounded kinda funny to me. It would be interesting to know the genesis of "rear" in this context. (The equivalent rank in German seems to be Konteradmiral [2] = "counter admiral.") [3] Sca ( talk) 13:32, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
U.S. Military ranks are considered a professional title and are capitalized, even if not referring to a specific person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.9.121.17 ( talk) 18:05, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
