Talk:Medal ribbon

message: is there currently a guide to different ribbon bars on wikipedia (us or otherwise)?
I don't think there is a place for the Fictional character Harmon Rabb from TV's JAG ribbons. Either this article is factual or fictional.BatteryIncluded (talk) 04:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems like having ribbons for Harmon Rabb on this page is inappropriate. While all others belong to factual characters who fought in war, his is the only fictional set. I recommend it be removed. 174.0.56.57 (talk) 03:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

message: In the "Notable examples" section, would it be an idea to list (and link to) the medals being awarded...i.e. have the graphics on the right and the text on the left. In order to avoid overwhelming, they could be hidden inside a  template. -- saberwyn 02:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know the term for the study/collecting of ribbons? I know coins for example employs the term numismatics. What is the term for ribbons? Djathinkimacowboy 04:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  Ah, wonderful! Many thanks indeed. PHALERISTICS is an alternative spelling I have discovered- that is the word I'd seen years ago. Thanks so much! Sorry, popped in to say, I am especially appreciative because, believe it or not, I had been unable to locate this term for YEARS. Even some experts did not know the name for it.Djathinkimacowboy 05:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

message: (For anyone who is interested):  I'd never heard of the term "ribbon bar" until very recently; I'd always heard of ribbons being referred to as "service ribbons" (I'm in the U.S., perhaps the other term is more common in the militaries of other countries?)  This led me to do a google search for "service ribbon" and "ribbon bar", using quotes, whereupon I got the following results:
"service ribbon" - 4,430,000 results
"ribbon bar" - 876,000 results
After flipping through numerous pages of the results for "service ribbon" and noting that the entries were discussing military ribbons, I observed that the first page of results and many thereafter for "ribbon bar" are not talking about military ribbons but instead other topics.  Hence, I concluded the WP:COMMONNAME for these items is "service ribbon" and moved the article to that location.  Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 20:42, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The German ribbon as shown is wrong in the way that before 1945, their ribbons were about square and arranged in only one single row, cf. period photos like this one. Wschroedter (talk) 11:16, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
