A fact from Yeoman (F) appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 14 November 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

I would recommend that someone knowledgeable do a better job of explaining what exactly a Yeoman's duties, responsibilities and purpose is, as neither this article nor the short blurb in the Yeoman article that actually relates to the Navy rank explains it very well.

I recently edited the intro to replace most instances of "Yeomanette" (the slang or popular term then) to "female Yeomen" (the official Navy term), commenting that "Yeomanette" is jarring to 2008 eyes. User:Binksternet reverted the edit, commenting "Jarring or not, Yeomanettes is the term that was used".
Would other editors please compare the two versions -- for convenience, the previous edit is here -- and comment as to which you prefer.
