Talk:Russian Naval Infantry

Title
Shouldn't this article be moved to Russian Naval Infantry? They're far better known by that name. -- Necrothesp 03:15, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there sources that would comply with above statement? Just for the sake of accuracy, for I am, being the Russian would be all for “Naval Infantry” as the main article entry. It is a proud branch of our military with specificly sounding name, but we ought to think about conformity. But, as I say, if it is indeed know as such, I’d be the first in line to move it to the proper name.


 * Interesting sidenote: in 1716, Peter the Great instituted the rank of “marine guard” (Russian: гардемарин, from French: garde-marine). It was exactly that — rank, not the branch of military. It was given to cadets of naval schools, when they were ready to leave classrooms for on-the-ship training, after completion of which they were given officer’s ranks. That rank changed over time and was eventually abolished after Revolution of 1917. theUg 02:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NCDAB, we should use natural disambiguation. I've moved the article to Russian Naval Infantry. Let's see if there are any reasons I've missed. --RexxS (talk) 22:30, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Chechnya wars ?
Russian Naval infantry took part in both Chechnya wars, 1994/96 and from 1999 on to ~ 2009. This was no mention worth ? --88.217.110.160 (talk) 15:59, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * If you have reliable source(s) affirming it, we'd be more than happy to have it in the article. Cheers! – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 23:14, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Capitalization
Why is "Naval Infantry" capitalized throughout? "Infantry" or "artillery" is not generally capitalized when talking about a military branch. Of course "123 Naval Infantry Brigade" does require capitalization. Shall I change it? --PaulinSaudi (talk) 13:29, 11 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Because the organisation is called the Naval Infantry (Морская пехота, Naval first word, Infantry, second word). What you are suggesting is the equivalent of using "United States Marine corps" throughout the USMC article. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:08, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. --PaulinSaudi (talk) 15:43, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
