[edit] Ribbon pictures

I would like to see a small picture showing the ribbon applicable to each award next to each entry. Any views? I am happy to start putting some in as an example in the next few days PalawanOz 01:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I'm not 100% sure, but it would seem that all the content of Australian campaign medals is already duplicated on the longer, more nicely organized page here. If someone could take a look and merge whatever's worthwhile to move, it would be great .LordAmeth 23:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

It's standard practice with these decorations/medals related articles to distinguish between decorations for (eg) bravery/distinguished service and campaign medals (eg British campaign medals, New Zealand campaign medals). If anything the campaign medal-related content ought really to be moved from this page, into Australian campaign medals. This page is quite nicely done, but at the moment it is very much a list. Ideally this page ought to serve as an introduction to the whole topic of Australian awards, describing their history, evolution etc. The following New Zealand articles show the structure that is being aimed for - in imperfect form admittedly:

Whilst I don't see a problem with keeping the Campaign medals on a seperate page (and, indeed, I think it might make more sense), I dont really want to see this 'orders of precedence' page broken up as per the Kiwi gallantry and bravery awards - since the point of this page is to show where they sit respective to each other. Perhaps the Orders, decorations, and medals of Australia page should be included in the discussion? At any rate, I will look at the Campaign medal page and update it a little, in anticipation of keeping the pages seperate, and linking to them from here PalawanOz 03:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if Australia has diverged from usual Commonwealth usage, but from memory the UK order of precedence doesn't specifically list the various campaign medals in order of wear. If Australia follow the same pattern then it perhaps the campaign medals ought to be moved off the 'Order of Precedence' page?

Oh, good point re. Orders, decorations, and medals of Australia. Turn that into the general introduction and keep this page as a straight list of the order of precedence (with or without campaign medals). How's that? (we'll have to write this into the WP:ODM guidelines). --Xdamrtalk 12:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
The Australian Order of Wear, as found at this ADF page, does actually include the Campaign medals in the order of precedence (although, admittedly as an annex, hence the ordering on this page)PalawanOz 20:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I see. I'll have a trawl around and see if I can find another version of the Order of Wear to confirm this. It certainly looks like campaign medals form a part of the list, at least according to this, but of course this might be down to sloppy policy document drafting.
Incidentally, do you suppose we can dispense with the merge suggestion now? LordAmeth hasn't said much more and I'm not in favour, what about you?
Xdamrtalk 12:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
The official order of wear is held at the Australian Government It's an Honour website. The ADF version is a slightly later version to include a couple of campaign medals that aren't yet on the It's an Honour site. I concur re removing the merge suggestion - the question now is do we delete the Campaign Medals from this page, whilst retaining their own page? PalawanOz 13:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I phrased my comment above badly... at any rate, I have deleted the Campaign medals from this page, and redirected to the enhanced Australian campaign medals page PalawanOz 12:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move
