Hi,
Please stop. You create interwiki links between différents concept : a german rank and a russian rank. Ludo29 (talk) 08:40, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
@Ludo29: I am not sure that I understand what you mean. The page in the German wiki does not cover the German rank only. There is a historic context and also a mention of the US ranks. I admit there is no specific mention of the Russian rank, but there is room for it. In the list of russian ranks (German wikipedia) is a mention of the Russian rank, linked to page of "Konteradmiral". The Russian "Контр-адмирал" is the equivalent of Konteradmiral, so where is your problem? I could not find another page "Konteradmiral" in the Russian wikipedia, whereelse should an interwiki link link to?
By the way – you are also incinsistent: You removed the link to the Russian "Контр-адмирал" and at the same time you replaced the link to the French "Konteradmiral" by the link to "Contre-amiral". It is either one or the other, so please revert at least on of your reverts! --Bungert55 (talk) 13:36, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Bungert55,
The problem is that you mix différents military rank. The Konteradmiral in german navies is a différent thing that the rear admiral in US Navy, the contre-amiral in fench navy, etc. Each rank has his own history, own issue, etc.
For example, according to the OTAN (Stanag 2116), OF-7 are :
- Konteradmiral in Germany ;
- Amiral de division in Belgium ;
- contre-amiral in Canada ;
- Vicealmirante in Spain ;
- Rear admiral in US ;
- vice-amiral in France.
However, according to the OTAN (Stanag 2116), OF-6 are :
- Flottillen-admiral in Germany ;
- Amiral de flottille in Belgium ;
- commodore in Canada ;
- Contralmirante in Spain ;
- Rear admiral (lower half) in US ;
- contre-amiral in France.
So say Konteradmiral in Germany is the équivalent of contre-amiral' in France is a very strong mistake. And there are so many cases like this one.
We can't use literal translation to imagine rank équivalence.
At this time, Wikidata have an entry for each officier rank in the main navies (US, UK, GE, FR, IT, etc.) Please create links between article and the good wikidata entry. Yesterday, you remove several of them.
(Excuse me, my english is not so good)
