Since there is no such award as the Distinguished Service Medal (United States) shouldn't this page follow standard disambiguation page lay out and form? EricSerge (talk) 03:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
If it were up to me I'd either get rid of the article (probably not gonna happen), or keep it military only. Since the military decoration in question is referred to as a DSM by all the branches of the Armed Forces, it would be clear. But to include civil decorations makes the article a mess, as while (I count 9 from the Awards and decorations of the United States government) are referred to as a DSM, many others are not, such as having "Public Service" or "Civilian Service" in their titles, or are called "Awards" not medals, even though a medal may come with the award.--Nyctc7 (talk) 04:47, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
I boldly made it a disambig, can't get rid of the article but you can send them on to the correct article they were looking for. It probably started out as a disambig and then became a coatrack of stuff. I also edited the redirect Distinguished Civilian Service Award into a disambig since it already pointed here.
