During my many years in the military I was taught that the difference between a shoulder mark, a shoulder board and an epaulette is that a shoulder mark is soft while both a shoulder board and an epaulette are hard, with the difference between a shoulder board and an epaulette being that a shoulder board has a square end at the shoulder and does not extend noticeably beyond the shoulder seam while an epaulette has a rounded end at the shoulder and extends beyond the shoulder seam. Unfortunately I don't have any references to link to... Allan Akbar (talk) 16:17, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
From the introduction to this article: "Sources disagree as to whether a shoulder board and an epaulette are the same thing" (no sources cited). Not according to the Epaulette or Shoulder strap wiki articles, or the comments above. The fact that the two terms are frequently used interchangeably doesn't make them the same thing either. In the interest of consistency, if nothing else, I would suggest modifying the introduction, and editing the references to epaulettes in the Australian section.

The supercategory "clothing" is an inappropriate for this article. That supercategory once contained every article of clothing known to man, and has now been systematically broken out to sub-categories. How odd it would be if this one minor article were the only one to qualify for direct listing under this category heading.
If it belongs on Wikipedia at all (and if it doesn't violate WP:NOR, which it probably does), it belongs only under the two three subcategories to which it is presently assigned. --TheEditrix2 20:50, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
It appears that the article name is ambiguous and needs to be refined. Propose rename to shoulder mark. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 15:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
