List of Knight's Cross recipients[edit]

This list and all its sub-lists contain all the known recipients of the Knight’s Cross. For the higher grades the list are sorted in chronological order and for its sub-lists they are sorted alphabetically. I am interested to know what might be missing to qualify them for a featured list rating. MisterBee1966 (talk) 12:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support The expansion of the leads and the expanding of the subsections look good. I would expand on what enactments are in the sub-section text. That word will not be common to most readers. Other than that, I think I can support. Woody (talk) 02:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments - a good list, clearly lots of work. A few suggestions / questions before I can support.
- Can we have a few wikilinks for Luftwaffe, etc in the tables? Do any of the ranks have articles? Done
- Any thoughts on making the tables sortable? (The date and notes sections can be left unsortable, since the tables are in chronological order and the notes don't need sorting) Done
- What do the * before some names in the "Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords" section mean?

Comments Posthumous receipt is denoted by an asterisk. This is stated at the top of the list. I will look into the other comments. MisterBee1966 (talk) 20:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops, missed that! Bencherlite ^Talk 21:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for those improvements. One more thing (and sorry for not asking earlier) - what's the source for the "last living and still living" sections? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bencherlite (talk • contribs) 21:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. This was added by other Wikipedian editors. I will remove this and leave a note on the talk page. MisterBee1966 (talk) 12:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Fine. Support, can't see any other issues. Bencherlite ^Talk 14:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The lead should explain that the listings for Knight's Cross and Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves are divided into separate pages. Right now, the lead claims that the nominated article is a 'complete list', which is inaccurate. Geraldk (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC) Done[reply]
