Reverting non-consensual move formally rather than continue low-grade move-revert war. "Martin Maryland" was the name used by the RAF, who had the largest numbers of the aircraft. Most common name in published materials. Not used in US service. - BillCJ17:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi gang, since I am the doofus who has changed my mind continuously and been the sole change agent of the name, let me explain, the reasons for my changing the name. I know that the Martin 167 most often went by the designation "Maryland" in British service, but what was its name in French or other services? I believe that the Model 167 was the "Glenn" in France. I opted for the "Model 167" as it was common to all variants. Again, if you look at the history of the changes, you will see that there was no edit war intended, merely a "back-and-forth" discussion mainly with myself. FWIW Bzuk04:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Actually, I was using "edit-war" somewhat tongue-in-cheek. However, I did move it back to Martin Maryland in between your two moves, which you must have totally missed! Anyway, this seemed like the best method to get a consensus, and I'll abide by whatever that is. Thanks. - BillCJ04:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The official name in French service was Glenn Martin 167 A3. The Maryland name is probably more commonly remembered in the English-speaking world, but were the British really the main users of the type? French Glenns (as crews called them) did see quite a lot of action over France and, later, Syria. Anyhow, our energies would be better spend in expanding the "British operational use" section :) PpPachy16:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
