Image:Eafury-a.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Ranks section, rank of captain is not clear, and also in wrong place

The rank of captain is at different levels when it comes to army and navy ranks. Normally...

An army colonel is an equivalent to a navy captain.

An army captain is an equivalent to a navy lieutenant.

If the "captain" in the list is a navy rank, as in the case of Captain Sheridan, then it would be in the same place as colonel.

In Season 1, Episode 11, "Survivors". Major Lianna Kemmer (wearing brown/olive uniform implying army/marines) correctly saluted Commander Jeffery Sinclair (wearing blue uniform implying navy/fleet). This is because an army/marine major ranks below a naval commander which in turn is one rank below naval captain.

It could lead to confusion if people assume a captain should salute a major, yet the major salute a commander which is below a captain. The list seems to make it look confusing if it does not make it clear whether it is an army or a naval captain.

Unless there is an army/marine captain in EarthForce in the Babylon 5 universe, this rank should be removed. The naval captain should be placed next to the army colonel

Thus, the list should correctly be as follows...

General/Admiral

Lt. General/Vice Admiral

Colonel/Captain

Lieutenant Colonel/Commander

Major/Lieutenant Commander

Captain/Lieutenant

Lieutenant/Lieutenant Junior Grade

Ensign

It should also be considered that if a specific rank is not available in the EarthForce system, then some other markings should take place. For example, if there is no captain in the army/marines branch in EarthForce but there is a Lieutenant in the navy/fleet branch, and if there is no Second Lieutenant in the army which is an equivalent to an Ensign in the navy, then the list should look like this...

Major/Lieutenant Commander

XXXXX/Lieutenant

Lieutenant/Lieutenant Junior Grade

XXXXX/Ensign

The above example is assuming if we stick to army/marines ranks first followed by navy/fleet equivalent. But if it does not make it look tidy, then something like...

Major/Lieutenant Commander

No army equivalent / Lieutenant

Lieutenant/Lieutenant Junior Grade

No army equivalent / Ensign — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:4880:B01:1CD8:24D0:474A:6CB3 (talk) 21:00, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
