This article strikes me as rather weak.

:ECM has nothing whatsoever to do to with this. You might think of [[ECO]], but that actually has some substance. I can see a general position article, but then there are so many trivial mini-articles about pointless things (like listing every single Raptor or Viper that was merely mentioned in chatter), that this one hardly matters. Instead of a new article, this one could maybe be merged with [[Senior Staff of Galactica]], which already has position histories. However, this article has a history for ''Pegasus'' which includes some relevant notes about Lee Adama and Renner, whereas the other one would only be about ''Galactica''. What would make more sense to me is a "position" category to link these articles about the staff a bit. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:45, 17 March 2008 (CDT)

::Yep, ECO was what I meant. Too little coffee.  Maybe the shortest ones should be centralized and others lumped for simplicity, since the Chief Petty Officer, Communuications Officer, Tactical Officer and others aren't rank dependent? I guess it's probably not of great significance, but I tend to concise articles as well as text where possible. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 12:10, 18 March 2008 (CDT)

Shouldn't this redirect to Military Ranks??? --lordmutt 11:29, 4 November 2006 (EST)

No, because XO is a position and not a rank --Serenity 19:32, 3 November 2006 (EST)

Ah your right --lordmutt 11:37, 4 November 2006 (EST)

This article strikes me as rather weak. Along with other position articles such as the even-weaker CMO and ECM, this and other pages could use a looksie to determine if it would be better to combine these positions into one article, a la Military Ranks (RDM). --Spencerian 15:41, 17 March 2008 (CDT)

ECM has nothing whatsoever to do to with this. You might think of ECO, but that actually has some substance. I can see a general position article, but then there are so many trivial mini-articles about pointless things (like listing every single Raptor or Viper that was merely mentioned in chatter), that this one hardly matters. Instead of a new article, this one could maybe be merged with Senior Staff of Galactica, which already has position histories. However, this article has a history for Pegasus which includes some relevant notes about Lee Adama and Renner, whereas the other one would only be about Galactica. What would make more sense to me is a "position" category to link these articles about the staff a bit. -- Serenity 16:45, 17 March 2008 (CDT)
Yep, ECO was what I meant. Too little coffee. Maybe the shortest ones should be centralized and others lumped for simplicity, since the Chief Petty Officer, Communuications Officer, Tactical Officer and others aren't rank dependent?
