Military infoboxesHi there, I did not realize flags and images of that nature are not supposed to be in infoboxes as I see them all over the place on Wikipedia. Whether it be politicians, actors, etc.; nearly every article I see has them. So, my apologies, and moving forward if I see them I'll start removing them. Thanks :) Bloodyboppa (talk) 17:28, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

RE: edits on Ben Roberts smith, VC, MG and other VC recipients.Hello, I think we can come to some sort of agreement on this rather than removing each others edits. The current Ben Roberts Smith info box has his name with the "post nominals" directly underneath. I believe this could be a good compromise as it means that they have their appropriate honours. While due to it being on a line just below. Reduces the clutter you cited in your edits. Which i can fully understand. Would you see it as appropriate if we were to leave Smith how he is and do the same for Keighran, Baird and Donaldson? Please let me know your thoughts.

Admiral Art McDonald (admiral)Hi, I would like to know why have you remove the Awards and decorations section in the admiral Art McDonald web site? Yes he is under investigation but he will keep his medals. Kindly
Hi again, For the Admiral I have added references for four out of ten medals. Some medals are given when you do a deployment and there is no references for other medals. References I have added were for the CMM, MSM, QDJM and the SCM. If I add them again will it be removed again? Thanks User:P2bn

This was based on what I now realise was a misread of his list of honours in the CWGC casualty record - I should have taken account of that comma which intended to indicate he was given 5 mentions in despatches.Cloptonson (talk) 06:19, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Then show me where the consensus is to title them as Sir/Dame -- "do not add honorific titles to existing instances of a person's name where they are absent, because doing so implies that the existing version is incorrect" So where is it existing beyond the opening sentence?

Willie Apiata - no need for such detail on the history of NZ and the VC in the lead ...You will recognize your words which I saw on my watchlist. I endorse your comment and was pleased to see it for two reasons. The first is that many VC recipient articles begin by including similar words to those used in the Arthur Aaron VC article that state the Victoria Cross is ‘the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces’. It is true but misleading. The statement that it is the highest award is qualified by including the criteria for the award. The rank of the award and its criteria should not be concatenated. Also, that it was previously awarded to Commonwealth and Indian forces should be in the history section not the first sentence. The second reason, which is more to the point, is many VC lists use slabs of text from the main VC article which are now mostly out of date. The text in lists should be describing the list not the award. Re your featured Lists: List of Australian George Cross recipients. Craig Blanch in ‘For Gallantry’ published in 2020 included former EM recipient, Frank Duller GC. While I would be delighted if it was confirmed if Robert John Kirkham EM https://victoriacrossonline.co.uk/?page_id=28954 was an Australian soldier, his service record indicates he did not leave for England until the end 1917 and then deserted! He did not live to 1971 to exchange his award for the GC but if confirmed, the number of Australians EMs would increase by one.

Shout was a New Zealand-born soldier and Australian Victoria Cross recipient of the First World War. Commissioned into the AIF not long after its formation, Shout took part in the Gallipoli invasion on 25 April 1915, was awarded the Military Cross for his "conspicuous courage and ability" over the next two days, and soon after Mentioned in Despatches. His VC was posthumously awarded for his actions at Lone Pine in August 1915 – after Ottoman forces had recaptured a section of trench, Shout twice led small parties of men to clear them out. He was mortally wounded when a bomb he was throwing exploded prematurely. Shout was the most highly decorated man in the AIF at Gallipoli, and his VC sold for a world record auction price in 2006." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 25 April 2023 (UTC) ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message Hello!

I've been going over the Class B review for the Rick Burr article for the last couple of days and I seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. On that article specificly it requires refences for {Defence Cooperation Medal (Japan), Legion of Honour (France), Army Meritorious Service Star (Indonesia)}, however the weekend has proven fruitless for finding specific refences, with the exception of images of the man wearing the specific medals. For the Japanese medal specifically, it appears to be awarded in addition to the Legion of Merit (Officer) after a tour as the deputy commander USA Pacific as every Australian to hold that post appears wearing it right after moving on to their next assignment (Greg Bilton, Roger Noble, Daniel McDaniel and likely to have Chris Smith joining them). But no posts about the award ceremonies are made from what I haven't been able to find. My question to you is, what are your thoughts on this? Do we;
The Michael Noonan (admiral) article is a good example of this predicament, most of the foreign honours don't have specific references, however, we have images of the man wearing the insignia. Furthermore, the Royal Australian Navy used Wikipedia as a reference for the list of his honours in numerous articles, Facebook posts and comments. For me personally I can identify most of the commonly awarded foreign medals to Australians at ten paces, though the Army Meritorious Service Star (Indonesia) threw me for quite a while.

I remind you however that it is a standard on a large number of pages (including extremely consulted for example Honours of Winston Churchill in addition to their certain educational interest. for these reasons I have therefore deleted your edit.
Alfred Shout scheduled for TFAAs per TFAR request, this is to let you know that the Alfred Shout article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 25, 2023. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page blurb, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 25, 2023, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. If you wish to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article, you can do so at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/April 2023. I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard KnightonIn the early hours of 30 June 2023 you reversed an edit I had made about 90 minutes earlier, where I capitalised the description of the rank to which Knighton had been promoted - so I edited "air chief marshal" to read Air Chief Marshal. You reversed that, explaining "ranks are not proper nouns, so are only capitalised when attached to an individual's name". I believe schoolboy grammar is irrelevant here, what matters is usage. There seems no settled Wikipedia house style on this matter; some text agrees with you, other text does not. Just within the article "Royal Air Force" in the section "Senior management" the list of responsibilities and the rank associated with them uses capitalised ranks when no names are involved. Confusingly, in the subsequent section "Ranks", commissioned ranks are shown with the first word capitalised, the rest not, so Air marshal, Wing commander, though non-commissioned ranks are fully capitalised, so Warrant Officer, Flight Sergeant. Finally, rather than grammar or Wikipedia style I would follow the usage of the Royal Air Force itself. https://recruitment.raf.mod.uk/career-progression (retrieved 2 July 2023) confirms that ranks, with and without personal names attached are capitalised. I therefore propose to reverse your reversal of my original edit. ShropshirePilgrim (talk) 00:44, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

World WarsI actually don't accept the business of changing World War I to First World War, say. It is longer, and also tendentious. I don't think the "Great War" or "European War", as contemporaries called it, was the first global war: the Seven Years War or later great power conflicts of the 18th and early 19th centuries went on in many parts of the world. To get back to the article titles: WP:CRITERIA is supposed to apply, so if the Wikipedia article is called "World War I", that should be good enough to use. I don't see that your reference to "British and Commonwealth usage" is that helpful: I'm British. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:39, 17 October 2023 (UTC) Use of post-nomialsHello, regarding your edit to the Tommy Prince article. Regarding the post-nomials of MM (Military Medal) and SSM (Silver Star), it may not (although I am not sure of this) be permitted for the recipient to use the post-nomial if the honour was conferred by a foreign government. The language is not clear in the Canadian act, which does not directly address the issue of post-nomials relating to foreign medals. See: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/medals/cf-honours-policy-manual/chapter7.html However, it is allowable and common practice for others writing about the recipient in a biographical description to use the post-nomial as a description, regardless whether or not the honour or medal was foreign or Canadian. Thus, Tommy Prince himself would not have used SSM for his Silver Star in his signatures or correspondence, but a biographical account of him could do so. I would suggest that mention of the Silver Star be included in the introduction. Note that Canada Post, an official Canadian government office, includes mention of the Silver Star in the Tommy Prince postage stamp in his honour. Tennisedu (talk) 07:07, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm taking a week off work starting the 11th and want to try and sink my teeth into getting it up potentially. Just seeing what you think about what may need to be done for it. I generally don't tread above B mainly because I know I'm not that good. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 01:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue 215, March 2024

What's a good source for military decorations?hi @Abraham, B.S., Where do you go to in citations for the medals belonging to Australian military figure? There used to be a government site, itsanhonour.gov.au where you could check, but that seems to have been shut down. Any tips? MatthewDalhousie (talk) 23:55, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
post-nominalsThought you get a heads up, If you weren't already aware, apparently the "community" have now chosen to completely do away with postnominals from all articles, and the systematic change has begun. see Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography/2023 archive#Proposal: Moving post-nominals from lead sentences to article bodies. I know I didn't see any notifications about that discussion. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 09:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Review of the Defence Honours and Awards systemHello, just me again. I'm doing an article on the senate inquiry into the defence honours scandal, and I was hoping you'd cast your eye over the draft User:Nford24/2024 review of the Defence Honours and Awards system. The senate committee is reporting back on 28 November 2024, so do you think I should wait until its report is published before moving the article into mainspace or post largely as is this week? Many thanks! Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 13:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue 219, July 2024

I've reverted your reversion of my removal of "Sir" for other people because you have misunderstood the MOS on this point. The consistent use of titles in an article, such as "Sir", *only* applies to the *subject of the article* as the MOS mentions. It does not include other people with the same title who are also mentioned in the article, especially not in info boxes where, in nearly all cases except for royality, people's titles are not included.
