Scope Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope:
Croix de guerre 1939-1945, France (État français version)
Used in Global usage
Reason To the best of my knowledge, this is the only picture we have of this version of the cross. I guess the main question is: Is the "Vichy version" worth a subscope? -- Eusebius (talk)
Review
(criteria)

Very good and interesting. Due to the complicated period, there are at least for versions of the WWII french war cross, each with different models. See here and here (in french). The Daladier one (the first), the Vichy one (this one), the Giraud one (in Algiers), and the France Libre one (by de Gaulle). I'm not sure the scope is good, because the doubt regarding the years. This cross was created in 1941, in order to replace the Daladier one, and concerned essentially the 1939-1940 period, even if given the two or three following years. Maybe the scope "Croix de guerre (État français version)" is sufficient, as there is no confusion possible, because of the ribbon, whose colors are unique among the four versions, and because the État français is only the Vichy political regime ?. Anyway, very good subject.--Jebulon (talk) 15:00, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the subscope you propose is better (État français version), I sticked to the "Vichy" form because of the choices made on Commons and on the English WP. I change the scope. --Eusebius (talk) 15:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
then I think that mention some dates (1939-1945) is therefore historically wrong or, at least, useless...--Jebulon (talk) 22:03, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why not 1939-1940, But I never see it mentionned this way... Most of the other WWII war crosses are about 39-40 as well, and always referred to as 39-45. --Eusebius (talk) 05:19, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
