Talk:Robert H. Barrow

message: Another article with differences in listed awards between the infobox and the ribbon's displayed/listed.
;Distinguished Service Medals
The Infobox lists the Defense and Navy versions
The portrait has none (because They were awarded after the portrait was made)
The ribbon graphics and text box has 3 Defense and 1 Navy versions
The Who's Who just mention's "in addition to the Distinguished Service Medal" which could refer to the Army version as that is it's proper name, or since it is specifically a Marine Corps source it might just be meant to understood to refer to the Navy DSM.
The marine.mil source mention's one each of Defense and Navy.
Searching at the Military Times Hall of Valor (see http://projects.militarytimes.com/citations-medals-awards/search.php?term=Robert+H.+Barrow) turns up one each- Defense, Navy, & Army.  However, that database is not compleat so it should be noted that he could have other awardings of the Defense version.
So he definately had at least one of all 3, but I can't say if he had more than one of the Defense versions.  
The Army one needs to be added to the ribbon display (the infobox is already fine), but that would involve re-ordering the ribbons (It should go between the DDSM & the NDSM) and I'm not confident enough in my editing abilities to pull that off.
Likewise, I don't know how many, if any, OLC's ought to be on the Defense version, so I'll leave that for now as well until someone can find a good source.
;Legions of Merit
All the sources I can find say it was 3 LoM's not 4 - even the Infobox lists it that way.  In his ribbon rack 3 Awardings of the LoM would be the ribbon w/2 stars, not w/3 stars which would mean 4 awardings.  I suspect that is a misunderstanding so I will correct it momentarilly.

replies: text: None of the written sources say his LoM's were awarded with Combat "V"'s. I would be reluctant to add that device unless a reliable source was found.  Our interpretation of a picture could be constituted as original research.  EricSerge (talk) 14:11, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  His Awards 

message: Another editor accused me of making a disruptive edit and reverted it here: . I would like to reassure the community that my intention was not disruptive, but to set the devices on ribbons right when it comes to their display on articles of members of the Naval Service. Current regs have the V Device in the middle with the stars on either side, with the wearers right side loading first. That makes a service ribbon for three awards of the Lom with V look like this:
 
As another editor has reverted my bold edit, per WP:BRD, I have taken it to the talk page for discussion. I believe my edits had merit, if there are other editors who wish to weigh in, then by all means, please do.  Cheers.  EricSerge (talk) 05:12, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
