Hansard is slightly more in favour of Naval, but there is still ambiguity here.

There is a slight weighting in favour of Naval here, but I'm not going to take this as the proof one way or the other. Can anyone clear this up definitely? Emoscopes ^Talk 14:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd go with Naval - After all, my father used to be in it and he uses Naval when referring to it. hangar96^Talk 18:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

The organisation manuals (Books of Reference in navy speak) are all titled "Royal Naval Auxiliary Service". Gashsack^Talk 18:07 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Naval or Navy The use of ether depends on the sentence context and service referred to

Naval its used when relating to a navy or navies."a naval base" " or "a naval manoeuvrer" or relating to a service attached to the Royal navy but not part of the Royal navy its like a catch all term used for maritime assets under the royal navy In most nations, the term "naval", as opposed to "navy", is interpreted as encompassing all maritime military forces i hope this helps i am an EX Royal Naval auxiliary man LNX/ENG hence i have written 95% of the Rnxs entryDixon hill (talk) 19:32, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

recent additions and criticisms

I originally created this wiki entry as none existed before and i did not want the service to be lost to the sands of time ,i am grateful to all who have contributed less so to the people who felt the need to criticize the grammar rather than correcting it politely and moving on and while it may be atrocious as has been repeatedly pointed out i have dyslexiaand did the best i could 94.8.221.85 (talk) 14:06, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Are you talking about this article Royal Naval Auxiliary Service? It was created by Severecci in October 2005. I do see some spelling corrections done in the page history, with appropriate edit summaries like "spelling". If you think someone reverted an important change you made just based on spelling, or they were rude, you can discuss specific changes on their personal talk page or here on the article's talk page.

I agree that Wikipedia should try to be inclusive for all constructive editors, regardless of their spelling accuracy. Commander Keane (talk) 22:43, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
