Talk:Regimental police

Provost/Police
I've moved this back to Provost as the Deepcut report seems far more likley to be a reliable source. It also ties in with the term Provo Sergent which as been in use since at least World War 2 (see for example G Macdonald Fraser's various books) and finally as is made clear in the article they are NOT a Police in the normal sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tragino (talk • contribs) 09:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The fact is that they are known as Regimental Police. The Deepcut Report is one source out of many. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Moved back again Necrothesp I agree with Trangino - Deepcut was to say the lease a high profile report not the sort of thing that they would take lightly - AA1955 uses the term Provost and contrary to Necrothesp's the correct name would appear to be Provost - with Police as an alternative in use on occasion.

Protection
I have protected this page due to User:Tragino cutting and pasting the content to Regimental Provost since he can no longer move the page, thus messing up the edit history. He and his apparent multiple sockpuppets are attempting to claim a particular name for the RP against overwhelming evidence to the contrary, based on a single reference in a single report, and also ignoring the fact that this article covers RP in countries other than Britain. Please discuss here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence of the name being Regimental Police: . The term Regimental Provost Staff is certainly used, but it is not the common name. And no evidence is provided that it is used at all in other countries. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
