This was made for US military members to use as a quick reference. I am in no way disrespecting any other International organization or their decoration that is not listed here, but if the US military does not authorize it's wear or it hasn't been awarded to more then a hand full of US military members. It should not be on this list. I ask any of you to first list the award here to see if the rest of the community agrees on it first? If you do not agree with the top statement, then ask your self. Why is there a direct link to the US military awards page then?EHDI5YS (talk) 23:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"This was made for US military members"

Well actually, are you sure about that? Many non-US people have been involved in its construction.

Also, did you realise that these days there isn't much that the US does that Australia isn't also involved in, and that the contents of this page applies almost identically for Australian military members? Pdf pdf (talk) 11:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"If you do not agree with the top statement, then ask your self. Why is there a direct link to the US military awards page then?"

I'm afraid I don't know whether I agree or disagree, because I don't understand what you have said. Which is the top statement? Why should I ask myself? Why not just ask you? You know the answer - I can only guess. Pdfpdf (talk) 11:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to restrict the page to "International decorations authorized by the US military for wear by US military members", then you need to change the name of the page. However, the name of the page is currently "International decoration", and "International" means international, it does NOT mean "restricted to the USA". Realise, there are 6 billion people in the world; the US is MUCH less than 10% of them. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me that the article should cover any military award bestowed by a major international organization. The only reason I could think of for there to be an article that lists only international decorations recognized by the United States is if we decided to have a similar list for each country's recognized international decorations. Since there isn't a huge number of international decorations, they should probably all be in this one article.

Also, I don't see any link to the U.S. military awards page. Looking through the history, I notice that there was a link to it at one point, but that link is in neither the current version or the original version of the article, and seems to have only been there briefly.

"The only reason I could think of for there to be an article that lists only international decorations recognized by the United States is if we decided to have a similar list for each country's recognized international decorations."

Well that's the beauty of wikipedia, any one can make their own topic page! There is a single topic page about militaries and then some one had an idea of making a new topic page about their own country's military. I do not see any Americans going on to the page of the German or the Australian military pages saying well "there's many militaries, it does NOT mean "restricted to the Australians". Realize, there are 6 billion people in the world; the Australia is MUCH less than 10% of them." so we should add that the US is in NATO or is in the Partnership for Peace with them, on their own page. So that's what I tried to do here by making a page for International decorations that the US allows. But like always, some one had to add their own two cents. So me and my friend that helped creating this page to what it is, did it again and created another International decorations page. But this time it says US authorized International decorations in the title! Thank you all. Best wishes, take care now. I must get back to the page that I created.

Hi all I'm not the original creator of this page but me and EHDI5YS trans formed this page from almost nothingness to a page that is a little more usefull and colorfull. So all I got to say is for every one, please put all and any international decoration that any military world wide has ever received. The more the better! I mean come on the US is not the only country that puts boots on the ground in conflicts right?! For example, the Iraq & Afghan wars. All the countries in the alliance right now if we added them up that would really come close to the numbers that the US has in just one of those countries. Why do Americans think they saved every body in World War II? We had people fighting all over the world! It's not like we were losing and needed their help when they joined the alliance late, right?!
