	When comparing and contrasting the Colonial way to the US way of government, items were marked in italics. Should this be the way we note non-show components of this article. ~~Peter~~'s revert of items that, based on previous items in the article, should have been italized as well, confuses me.

	I was recently reading John A.

	I don't think fleet-specific information should remain here long term, as it probably deserves an article of its own - "Government of the Fleet" or somesuch - but that can wait until we put together a parallel Fleet Topics series, which is rather low on my to-do list. In the meantime, this remains the best place for both pre- and post-holocaust government information. --[[User:~~Peter Farago~~\|~~Peter Farago~~]] 16:38, 18 September 2005 (EDT)		I don't think fleet-specific information should remain here long term, as it probably deserves an article of its own - "Government of the Fleet" or somesuch - but that can wait until we put together a parallel Fleet Topics series, which is rather low on my to-do list.
