Status: notability?
[edit]Does it make sense to limit new additions to this short list?
Is it appropriate at this stage of the article's development to initiate a standard limiting names on this select list to
- (a) those who already have Wikipedia articles
- and
- (b) those who are notable for something other than being honored with this Imperial decoration -- see, e.g., US Navy Cross edit history?
This diff is a first step in seeking consensus opinion.
In a context informed by practices which seem to have worked out well at Navy Cross, all new additions who aren't already featured in an article are re-redirected to this talk page section with the following edit history explanation:
- people listed here must have articles on Wikipedia and be notable for something other than receiving this Japanese honor -- see "Status: Notability" on talk page
The names of those recipients whose award is confirmed by a reliable source, but who do not have an article yet are listed below:

- Unknown class

In due course, perhaps all or most of these can be restored to the article. --Tenmei (talk) 23:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Format
[edit]I wonder if the two-colum format is best for this article? Is there a perceived advantage in dividing the lists of recipients into IJA and IJN categories? If so, why? --Tenmei (talk) 02:10, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Description of Medal symbology
[edit]Upon viewing File:Kinshi4.jpg, I idenitified the weapons on the medal as being different from the current description, as of 14 October 2010. The medal actually depicts, under the kite, two bendwise-crossed straight spears (槍, Yari), and one Tsurugi (剣) point-down. - B. C. Schmerker (talk) 17:20, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
