Active discussion at WT:MOSCAPS#Capitalization of "Marine", please join. – .Raven  .talk 21:25, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What was the outcome of the discussion? I can't find it from the above link, nor from a quick search of 2023 closed discussions. — ERcheck (talk) 13:16, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suspect the current language of MOS:MARINE was the outcome but not sure if that predates the RFC or not. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 16:31, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Swatjester. — ERcheck (talk) 17:26, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Beret or hat color is an important way of distinguishing the unit of a soldier. But it is not mentioned in this article. Can this be added to the Uniforms section? FreeFlow99 (talk) 13:21, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

US Marines don't wear berets. Never have, afaik. - wolf 21:25, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I intend to edit the Racial Integration section of the article. I am going to add an emphasis on the historical importance of Montford Point. BigWilly103 (talk) 13:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI - I added section on the "Domestic Deployment in Los Angeles" (at the end of the history section, following the 2020 China section). Any reviews.edits here would be appreciated! ReformedMandalorian (talk) 22:43, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
