Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Victoria Cross for Australia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cross of Valour (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

"There were no operational gallantry awards to the Australian forces under either the Australian or Imperial Honours Systems from 1972 until 1996." This is a remarkable claim - although I have no reason to doubt its accuracy. Were Australians actually ineligible or was it simply that there was an understanding that Australians would not be nominated. If, in an alternate history, Australian forces had been serving in warlike operations in that period (i.e. the Gulf War of 1991) I find it hard to imagine that some sort of gallantry award would not have been issued should it had been considered merited. Scrapping a system before putting in place a adequate replacement seems quite bizarre. Does this merit inclusion in the article Orders, decorations, and medals of Australia? -- Mattinbgn (talk) 00:43, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Albert MedalJust a suggestion - why not add the list of AM recipients to the AM page? You could then link from the GC page back to the AM page - thus keeping the GC list for people who were awarded the GC. Just my 2c Gbawden (talk) 06:45, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Australian Honours Order of Precedence should be renamedWell! Much to my surprise (and pleasure), I would say the conclusion to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#"Order of precedence" vs "Order of wearing" is:

In my completely unbiased opinion (cough, cough), I feel that your change (from "in a ceremony in Canberra on 16 January 2009.[1] On 25 January 2010" to "in a ceremony in Canberra on 16 January 2009. [1] On 25 January 2010" was "a bit sloppy". There was: a) No explanation for what was wrong with the reference you removed, or why you removed it; b) No explanation or annotation of the new reference; and c) The format of the new reference is problematic.

Civil awards and decorationsG'day Anthony, I haven't seen anything that suggests you have raised an AfD for Civil awards and decorations (your intent earlier in the year). I am not convinced that the article necessarily needs deletion. I see two key issues in play: the specific content and accuracy of this article and the efficacy of the current meta information / taxonomy articles for awards generally and ODM specifically. It is important that Wikipedia have comprehensive, accurate coverage of the meta information / taxonomy of the ODM field and the broader field of awards generally and that these should account for the nuances of application around the world. The current articles seem to have been raised in a haphazard manner and there is significant blending of articles from the ODM field and the more general field of awards in a way that has been unhelpful to editors and potentially confusing to readers. Distinctions between military and civil orders and decorations has been a feature of the Imperial honours system since at least the Napoleonic era and the Australian Honours System since 1982. I agree with you that, as it stands, this article misrepresents the reality of how distinctions between military and civilian decorations operate (it has not fundamentally been re-written since the original IP editor in 2004 and subsequent editors have just expanded upon the framework established by the original editor). I suspect that this is not the only ODM taxonomy article that suffers from this weakness. I also note that by including 'award' in the title it opens the article up beyond the ODM field which complicates treatment of the subject (but doesn't fundamentally change your point that civil/military categorization is about the award not the recipient). One thing that needs to be made clear is that just because an award is classified as a civilian award doesn't mean it will never be awarded to military personnel or vice versa - this will be dependent on the rules of the specific award but does not fundamentally change its nature. In Australia, a key factor is the role/or lack of role of the Department of Defence in the nomination and approval process - the Australian bravery awards are civilian decorations (approved by the Governor General on the recommendation of the Australian Bravery Decorations Council) but have been awarded to military personnel on several occasions (nominated variously by the military chain of command or externally - typically by one of the emergency services); the (Australian) Conspicuous Service Cross is a military decoration (approved by the Governor General on the recommendation of the Department of Defence) but may be awarded to civilians for service in support of the ADF (not sure if any awards were made to civilians under these provisions before March 2012 when the Chiefs of Service Committee enacted a policy not to make such recommendations (Defence Honours and Awards Manual Vol 1 para 12.7)). Perhaps what we need is a broader discussion at WP:ODM on an overhaul of the meta/taxonomy articles (in practice this would mean directly alerting at least some of the more active/knowledgeable editors as the project talk page is only monitored irregularly by project members (different dynamic to WP:MILHIST).
