Proposal on the usage of infobox in the articles of Chiefs of Staff

I don't think this is the right place for a proposal like this, but as we don't have a page on PC, COSC, so, this would have to do.

I have a proposal on the usage of {{
infobox military officer
}} in the articles of COAS, CAS, and CNS, as the former accomodates for notable offices held (AOC-in-C, FOC-in-C, GOC-in-C and above) and has the basic features of the latter.

infobox office holder
}} which, in my opinion, is ill suited for listing all the commands held. Third is the sheer amount of effort it will take in converting all the existing infoboxes into the new format and ensuring that the new articles coming from Lt Generals are in the same format.
The {{infobox official post}} currently in use with COAS, CAS and CNS are also standard across all articles.
I had a question for you on the content you added in the infobox which is "The Chief of the Army Staff is usually the senior-most Indian Army infantry officer of the senior most batch. The appointee for the office is approved by Appointments Committee of the Cabinet headed by Prime Minister, based on appointee's ability and strong confidence with Prime Minister.". Do we have a reference for this? I think if we have a reference for this then it should be added to the main text not the infobox. In particular we need the reference for this line "The Chief of the Army Staff is usually the senior-most Indian Army infantry officer of the senior most batch.". Here the word infantry is misleading and the convention has been the senior-most Indian Army officer serving at the time which also an unoffical one and has not been followed twice. We should be careful with our wording.
Currently the COSC content lives in Ministry of Defence (India) and really needs it own page. I have been trying to source some information about it before I split it into a separate page but have had little time. If you wish to start this endeavor I can definitely help.

@
infobox military officer
}}.
As far as the line about senior-most infantry officer goes, yes, I think we should make the line about it being a convention clearer. As far as the references go, I think we can add these — [1], [2], and [3].
As far as the article about COSC goes, I would be more than happy to help you out, you can create a sandbox page about it, then it can be improved by the community as a whole, and when the article is ready to be published, it can be moved into article namespace.

@
Lieutenant Governor. If I also remember correctly, somebody had frowned upon this in the past when a similar set of articles for a different Armed Force had been changed. I will wait for @Krishna Chaitanya Velaga: reply since he is more closely associated with Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history
or initiate a dialogue with them on the project talk page.
Also the references you provided state the senior-most officer which is fine to state in the article but becomes verbose for the infobox. The issue I had raised was with the word infantry. We do not have any references for that and we should be very careful with our wording. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mismatch in serial number of COAS

The article says Bipin Rawat is 26th COAS and Dalbir Singh is 25th COAS. However, official PIB source calls Bipin Rawat as 27th COAS, and adgpi twitter mentions Dalbir Singh as 26th COAS. Why is there a mismatch? Can someone find out? cc @Zwerubae:, @KCVelaga:. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 08:45, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarvatra: Looks like the Count starts from the first Indian C-in-C, Field Marshal K M Cariappa. - Zwerubae

COAS potential edit war (edit protection request made)

Since the announcement that Manoj Pande will take office as COAS on 30 April 2022, there have been multiple (and rapid) disruptive IP edits to make Manoj Pande the incumbent COAS, as if he took office on the day of the announcement. Incorrect reversions to corrections have taken place less than 2 minutes after said corrections were made, which due to factual inaccuracy is becoming increasingly irksome.

I have made a semi-protection request. SuperWIKI (talk) 14:42, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
