Talk:Noble grapes

message: These definitions are only good for french wines, here in Italy these grapes are seldom used  (and usually to do experimental blendings like the "super tuscans") so a grape like Nebbiolo that is used to make a great wine like Barolo should not be a noble grape? A grape like barbera which has a long (hundreds of years) tradition in the north west of Italy Asti and is used to "cut" various californian wines shouldn't be a noble grape?
:The role of Wikipedia is to be descriptive, not prescriptive, and that, like it or not, is the definition of the term. Fortunately, it's a term that's dying out. Haikupoet 04:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Please double check which grapes are the noble grapes. "Early in the eighteenth century there were six noble grapes of Bordeaux: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenère, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot." This is what I learned. I do not have a good source. This one is from a winery website. While many people like different grapes, and there are many great grapes from other places, these are the ones with the name "noble grapes" because they came out of France.

replies: text: I could only find three in WA named 'Sunday Island'. Interesting though, I'd never heard of the ones near Dirk Hartog Island and Onslow. I think these must be very minor islands: certainly the one that Douglas was on (off the Dampierland Archipelago) is the most famous one (at least in WA or to those interested in Australian languages), and was home to the Sunday Island Mission.

I agree that it's a copyright violation; it's copied from | here.  Note that the link in the copyvio is wrong. 
The subject of the article is probably prominent enough.  Being CEO of a Fortune 500 company qualifies.  But a new bio, or permission from the subject to use one of his several bios on the web, seems to be needed.  Thanks.  --John Nagle 02:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: No longer issued by Britain

message: The article currently states that the BEM is awarded to military personnel below Warrant Officer rank, police below Superintendent and to fire services personnel below Divisional Officer. The Statutes and Statute amendments for the Order of the British Empire back this up for military personnel but are silent on police/fire services. It seems unlikely that the threshold for admittance to the order vs award of the medal is below Superintendent in the police when, to the best of my knowledge, Inspectors are regarded as officers (loosely akin to Lieutenant or Captain in the Army) and thus would presumably be admitted as an MBE rather than awarded a BEM. If anyone has sources that address this, a suitable update would be good. AusTerrapin (talk) 18:15, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Under the heading Award, the second paragraph states ‘The honour is divided into civil and military medals in a similar way to the Order of the British Empire itself. …  While recipients are not technically counted as members of the Order, these medals are nevertheless affiliated with it.’ Under heading 1922–40 is the statement ‘In 1922, the original medal was discontinued and split into two separate honours, which still formed part of the Order of the British Empire.’ The first quote states ‘affiliated’ while second states ‘formed part’ which seems contradictory. I think citations are required for ‘The British Empire Medal, which may be awarded posthumously’ and ‘However, also starting in 1940, the statutes of the BEM were amended so that it could again be awarded for acts of gallantry’.Anthony Staunton (talk) 04:03, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Are the Maltese, RUC and NHS recipients permitted to wear the medal? 104.153.40.58 (talk) 00:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The three recipients are not individuals but a country and two institutions. In the case of Malta and the former RUC the awards were not gazetted. First World awards, the VC to the US unknown soldier, the DSC to Dunkirk and MCs to Ypres and Verdun were not gazetted since the general practice for foreign recipients was not to gazette awards. However, the 2006 CGC to the Royal Irish Regiment/Ulster Defence Regiment was gazetted and I was pleased that the NHS GC was also gazetted. What was different was there were four additional copies, one each for the Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England. The focus seemed to be on the individuals who received the copies and I am still unsure if one GC and three copies or one GC and four copies were issued. The NHS award was the 2nd collective award in the last 25 years but the GC, once called the 'civilian VC', was awarded to a civilian for gallantry overseas in 2017 but has not been awarded to a civilian for gallantry within the UK in 46 years. Thankfully the Army and Royal Marines are keeping the award alive. Anthony Staunton (talk) 09:15, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Collective awards 

message: The number of George Cross awards has been out of date in the Wikipedia article for some time. The major problem is that there has never been an official list of recipients. While all original awards except the first two collective awards have been gazetted, the 251 exchange awards have never been officially verified. The VC & GC Association, and their 2013 volumes, have been most helpful. There are 416 awards listed in Marian Hebblethwaite's, George Cross Encyclopedia, (2021) ISBN 978-1-9997057-3-2 and the readily assessable Victoria Cross Online. I have updated the totals using both references. I changed the subtitle 'Awards to Commonwealth citizens' to 'Awards to the Commonwealth' since there was no British or Commonwealth citizens until Canada started the ball rolling in 1946.
