Move

Since this is not a modern rank in the Royal Navy, and when it was used it was a rating, not a rank, I am moving this article to Ordinary Seaman (rating) --Woland (talk) 18:27, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

Ordinary seaman (rating) → Ordinary seaman (rank) – Reverse the redirect for WP:CONSISTENCY. No other military rank article uses "(rating)" as the disambiguator and across WP only two other pages do, which are redirects. It was moved from "(rank)" in 2008, with the ES "this is not a modern rank in the Royal Navy, and when it was used it was a rating, not a rank". However, it is a rank in the Royal Canadian Navy and Irish Naval Service, as the article says. 62.165.227.102 (talk) 10:38, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
