Medal_of_Freedom

Hello everyone! Harej Folks at 137 EricSerge are UK awards' order of precedence ok? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_Debeaumarch%C3%A9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_Debeaumarch%C3%A9 — Preceding unsigned comment added by प्रजापति (talk • contribs) 16:27, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Medal Display

Hi, I have created a template {{Medal Display}} which I am using for the display of South African Medals (ribbons) {{Medal Display/ZAR}}. I created it so that it is possible for others to create their own lists and use the same template. Just FYI. BoonDock (talk) 17:01, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Featured list nomination: List of Knights Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order appointed by King Edward VII

Hello, I am just letting members of the project know that I have nominated the above article at FLC—it's review page is here. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 00:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Notability of award holders

I'm trying to figure out which awards bestow notability. WP:ANYBIO tells me that a person having "received a well-known and significant award or honor" is notable. In the archives, I see it stated that it "has generally been established that recipients of any award lower than the CBE are not inherently notable, but holders of the CBE and above generally are". If that is the community consensus, can I make the following suggestions:

State this fact on the project page
Refer to that fact from the Wikipedia:Notability (people) page
Show an order of precedence of those awards that are higher than the CBE, and thus bestow notability.

Any thoughts? Schwede66 08:07, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have compiled a list of awards (or multiple awards) from certain countries that I consider to confer inherent notability under WP:ANYBIO #1. I would stress that this is a personal view and a work in progress, although it has certainly been established over many AfDs that what you say about the CBE and above is correct. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:13, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What a useful piece of work that's tugged away in your userspace, Necrothesp. Any thoughts on starting the formal process of getting this adopted by the wider community, or is it still 'too early' to do so? Schwede66 17:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement over how to present different reliable sources regarding the number of Medal of Honors awarded

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Medal of Honor#Number of Medal of Honor awards. Thanks. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:17, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Template:Z48[reply]

Medal of Honor total

Different websites have different totals for the number of Medal of Honor awards but Wikipedia has four different totals (two calculated) for the Medal of Honor article. The Medal of Honor entries on the US Army Centre for Military History website are posted as a courtesy to their users and they are not responsible for the factual content of the citations. I amended the total to 3512 which is the addition of the totals of the Senate Committee of Veterans Affairs, the Congressional Research Service and the White House. I have emailed a request to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society to query their total of 3514. I first raised the issue in the talk page and only amended the total when I located an online source which I used as a reference. My change was undone. I reverted it since the original US Army Centre for Military History figure was obviously wrong. Anthony Staunton (talk) 01:17, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
