Rank Table[edit]

The NEW rank table looks exactly the same as the one present before the re-write but it does look nice. I changed the pre-requisites for LAC as the CATO was changed to only requiring 5 months time in almost 2 years ago. You could probably add the pre-requisites for FCpl into the table as they have been promulgated in the recently amended CATO 55-04. Too bad they still haven't told us what the rank will actually look like CU L8R AV8R ... J-P 14:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason that I trimmed the table is because one of the criteria at Wikipedia:What is a good article? is "stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary details". I thought that the table went into a bit too much detail. Does a general reader need to know prerequisites for ranks? Or are the names, badges, and relative ordering of the ranks sufficient?

If that info isn't anywhere else on Wikipedia, it might be worthy of inclusion - especially as, if expanded, the level training can be covered in relation to the various ranks. Clear as mud? Quadra 05:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's not too bad. I remember about half a year ago, this article even included quotas for numbers of ranks dependent on squadron size... so in comparison, the article has become much more relevant to a general reader. I don't think though that we should include the detailed rank prerequisite information because it isn't anywhere else on Wikipedia; we need a better reason for including it like... is it encyclopedic? does it deserve as much weight as it is given with respect to the other information in the article? Especially because it is in a table, it's the one thing that stands out in this page (aside from the pictures). Any more thoughts? Sancho 16:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do think the prerequisite information ought to remain, and I plan to re-jig the table, as I find the current one a little hard to follow. Fhsig13 (talk) 18:57, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Badges[edit]

I think that the uniform badges should be added to this page. Since I'm new, I do not know how to do so. Can someone please check out this site http://754aircadets.ca/?page_id=328 and add the uniform badges.

Removing CPU section[edit]

{{request edit}}

The Cadet Program Update (CPU) shaped the modern cadet program, adding proficiency levels and EOs/POs. It was instituted in 2008/2009, and I'm thinking that the information is no longer relevant in the "local training" category. Should it be [re]moved?

This 2007 listing contains significant uncited material, and thus does not meet GA criterion 2b). It may also contain excessive details on matters such as uniform, training courses and centres, and performance objectives, which are near-entirely sourced to non-independent sources. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:39, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
