List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality[edit]

Hi there, this list is one that I have been updating as part of my overhaul of our Victoria Cross recipients lists. This list is a "motherlist" that is the basis for some of countries with large numbers of recipients. This follows the same updated format as List of Canadian Victoria Cross recipients and List of Australian Victoria Cross recipients. I think it meets all the FL criteria. Hope you agree, looking forward to comments. Woody (talk) 23:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Can you improve the "nationality" column, as it's inconsistent? For example, "Denmark", "Germany" and "India" are names of countries, not nationalities, but "Welsh", "English" and "Australian" are nationalities. Otherwise, excellent! Bencherlite^Talk 00:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed column to country, all uniform now I think. Woody (talk) 00:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Does this now mean that it's a list of recipients by country? Bencherlite^Talk 00:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - If you like. I chose that way because I couldn't work out what the nationality of Newfoundland was. I will convert them to nationality in the morning, (and when I find out the answer;) Woody (talk) 00:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Nationality probably makes more sense. Newfie suggests "Newfoundlander" is the correct form, btw. Bencherlite ^Talk 00:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Done. Woody (talk) 12:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Support. Bencherlite ^Talk 14:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ In the specific references you have unsourced notes. These notes about nationalities need to be cited.--Crzy cheetah 00:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Added in refs now. Woody (talk) 01:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've combined them to be more obvious. I don't think a link to a WikiProject should be in the See also section, but I am not sure. Other than that, the list looks great. I support.--Crzy cheetah 08:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks, I tried to put refs inside of refs, but it doesn't like it. Your way works well, thanks. I have removed the link to VC migration, as A) it is dead, and B) not much of it actually relates to the project anymore. Thanks again. Woody (talk) 12:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great list. The only thing I see that could be added would be a reference about anyone who has been awarded the medal twice (if this has occurred). Good job!
