Contents answered my questions, but the section headings need attention

I went to this article for the specific question as to when the word "colonel" (without also saying "lieutenant") is properly used in situations when the officer involved is a Lt. Col. The article answered my question -- hurray for Wikipedia! But it's in "Etymology." The actual etymology is covered in the "History" section.

Perhaps my question could be moved to the "modern usage" section of the article.

About the slang terms: I'm glad to see this paragraph in the article, but it also isn't part of the etymology. Oaklandguy (talk) 05:48, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Larry Rendall Brock

Individual does not have a Wikipedia page, which has been the community consensus in the past for inclusion on lists of notable individuals for ranks and awards articles. There is no reason to change this consensus now. If the individual is considered to be notable in the long run (bearing in mind WP:NOTNEWS) they should have an article created and then be added to this page. If they are not notable enough to have their own article, they should not be included on this page. Garuda28 (talk) 03:57, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
