Talk:List of United States Marine Corps four-star generals

Role of Navy?
Are the 4-star generals subordinate to a full Navy Admiral, as the Corps is a branch of the Navy? If not, was this the case in the Corps's history? Are there references that would allow us to put this in the article? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 23:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in List of United States Marine Corps four-star generals
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of United States Marine Corps four-star generals's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:53, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
