- See the MOS for images, we aren't supposed to have text which is sandwiched between two images... What we had before I edited it down was a comical amount of pictures which made this page look like a drunk teenager had done the layout. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:26, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- I'm familiar with mos:img, and I've fixed numerous pages becuase of that very reason, but I didn't have to remove images to so, there are other options. Perhaps there were too many images and perhaps they were placed poorly, but I didn't contest any of that. I simply posted them here so there is a record, which is commonly done with mass-removals of content, as some people may disagree with which images were removed. - wolf 00:53, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- As far as I understand images are not content. I considered other options, but there were just too many pictures for anything but either a deep cut or a completely separate gallery. No judgement was made on which to preserve or remove beyond layout. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 01:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

"Crayon Eaters" nickname
There seem to be some contention on whether or not to include "crayon eaters" in the nicknames. Anecdotally, from my own personal experience the term does seem to have a great deal of cultural significance with one Marine vet even starting a business creating edible crayons and the marine corps itself once referenced the joke in 2018. The main opposition to its inclusion that I see is that the "crayon eater" nickname is a joke and therefore fundamentally unserious, however i would contend that nicknames suck as "devil dogs" and "leathernecks" that are already included without controversy are similarly unserious. - FenrisAureus ▼ (talk) 22:23, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
