I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets the criteria. I have spent a lot of time and made a lot of edits to it to bring it up to where it is. Kumioko (talk) 02:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Several of my comments at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Medal of Honor recipients (Veracruz)/archive1 apply here. Edit as necessary. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:22, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks,I don't mean to sound ungrateful but could you paste a few of the bog ones here.--Kumioko (talk) 00:27, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on your comments from the Vera Cruz list I changed some things: I added spaces before and after endashes for date spans, merged the medal of honor section and a couple other minor tweaks. I would still appreciate some more comments though.--Kumioko (talk) 01:02, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the lead could use with a little expansion (especially take out the "This is a list of" start that has been deprecated at Featured lists). Also, this is more general, but is there any way that you could make {{Medal of Honor recipients}} collapsible? Right now, we're in a dilemma: The {{clear}} causes a lot of whitespace to appear and makes the lead look small, but removing it would squash the table badly, impeding readability and detracting from visual appeal anyway.
- I took out the "this is a list" bitand I spent the last few hours rebuilding the Medal of honor template into one that can collapse (it took me a while to get a format I liked and to get things lined up pretty.--Kumioko (talk) 01:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We don't start lists with "this is a list" in the prose part anymore. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- File:Edward E Lyon.JPG – there is absolutely no proof it was taken before 1923. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure what I need to do about this, if I remove the image would that be accesptable?--Kumioko (talk) 01:45, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless you can find the source for the image, you'll have to. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first time reviewing these "medal of honor" lists and I am very disappointed. I felt like I went back in time. I see a vertical navigational template on top and many general references with no inline citations for the table. If there were one or two general references, I'd understand, but five? That's a little too much.--Crzycheetah 06:45, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(Undent) If you want me to pick one way to identify the service thats fine, but whatever we decide I will go and change it for all the Medal of Honor lists so they are all consistent. Most of them use [Service] vice [U.S. Service] so I would recommend sticking with [Service] since the Medal of Honor is only granted to US service members (except for the tombs of Unknown soldiers for a couple countries). Also, in regards to the nowrap thing, the Vera cruz and iwo jima lists are also featured and use this template so see if you have the problem on them as well. I do not see what you are seeing on my computer so I have to conclude that its at least possible that its something to do with the settings on your computer. --Kumioko (talk) 13:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Support The references look much better, as well.--Crzycheetah 16:47, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. How would you feel about re-naming the list. At present, reading it quickly it's easy to think you're about to see a list of American Medal of Honor recipients of Filipino descent. There doesn't seem to be a definite convention on naming these (of the three FLs of this type, I see three different naming patterns), so how about List of Medal of Honor recipients for the Philippine-American War (currently a redirect)?

- Personally I don't care but it had that name a while ago and it was changed to its current name because of comments raised by another user.--Kumioko (talk) 18:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
