USNS Hershel "Woody" Williams (T-ESB-4)

The press release from the Navy announced that as the name of the ship. If in subsequent sources it turns out to be different, (such as Hershel W. Williams) then the page can be changed. It's just a re-direct right now as the ship is no where near completion anyway, so no harm done. And, surely you know that just changing the DISPLAYTITLE template makes no difference, right? If and when more source come available and it turns out the initial announcement was incorrect, we can change the title by way of page move then. For now, I wouldn't worry about it. - ^theWOLFchild 23:37, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic

I am just about to revert this edit. You may not be aware of WP:RCAT which *specifically* covers categorising redirects. You appear to complain frequently about how WP has obnoxious bureaucracy, but if you took the time to familiarize yourself with the rules (also for example WP:Lead/LEADLENGTH), you might get on much better.

As always, you can cite any WP rules you want, but this doesn't square with common sense. SACLANT is an main article on this subject while ACLANT is not. And that category given, Category:NATO military personnel, is populated by people, not positions. More common sense sacrificed on the altar of WP bureaucracy.Marcd30319 (talk) 22:25, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We categorise by the subject of the article, not where the majority of the text is. That's what RCAT is designed to do. @Nick-D: we appear to have an impasse here - Marcd30319 is continually reverting and contesting the way the category structure should work, repeatedly placing a title/appointment in a military formations category. Would you please give a third opinion? Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 22:37, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
