Category talk:Awards by country
Dear Lemon Juice,
Ribbon bars is indeed better although some of them are samples and not realy bars. I will rename them ribbon bars and categorise them. I got through the entire civil and military award series. My findings were:
- Lots of civilian orders and medals wrongly categorised as military (example French "Order of Arts and letters).
Several pins of local sportclubs, diploma's of an exhibition, wiki-barnstars (some of them jokes) amongst the entries in the categories. That was my point in categorising as "orders and awards" ;if you categorise as awards the congressional medal of honor will end up next to "employee of the month" and a pin for the most prolific knitter of the women's guild of Saint Olav. All the illustrations orders of Knighthood (“Orden”) of Austria were in the category orders and none of them in awards.
- Several hoaxes in the category:the "Imperial Order of Santa Rita" for example. I banned them to the category "Humor".
- Several militay decorations are listed as civil.
- Lots of orders of knighthood of a mixed or military nature (Order of Maria Theresia, Military Order of Willliam, Order of the Iron Helmet and more )were not listed as military decorations.
A lot of dubble entries. They were removed. As a rule I kept the largest image and where colour differences were obvious, allways difficult in ribbons because they fade, both were kept.
- Due to language problems the names of orders and their insignia were often llisted as “medal”. Example; Roemenia’s “Order of the Star”.
