The result of the move request was: no consensus. Both sides are pretty even and have valid arguments. Moves to Silver Star medal or Silver Star (medal) can be discussed separately. (closed by non-admin page mover) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 19:26, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Silver Star →  – Firstly, consistency with Bronze Star Medal. Secondly, according to article, Silver Star Medal(SSM) seems to be official name. Footwiks (talk) 15:38, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

text: please could I request a relist on this one? I think there's more analysis needed to figure out the true usage here, and in particular I don't think it's at all clear that "Silver Star Medal" is a proper name, including the "Medal" part. See  for example, showing that "awarded a silver star" is hugely more common than "awarded a silver star medal", in any capitalisation. I think either Silver Star medal or Silver Star (medal) might be better titles, and would like to discuss that with the participants. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 12:01, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

message: The page states "The Silver Star Medal is awarded for gallantry, so long as the action does not justify the award of one of the next higher valor awards: the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, the Air Force Cross, or the Coast Guard Cross." however the Infobox states that the next higher medals are the Distinguished Service Medal (Army), Navy Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Service Medal (Air and Space Forces) and Coast Guard Distinguished Service Medal. I assume that this conflict arises because the Silver Star is a valor award, while the various Distinguished Service Medals are meritorious service awards. How should this conflict/confusion be addressed? Mztourist (talk) 04:52, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly with an asterisk by the non-valor awards linked to a note explaining the difference. It's an order of precedence thing, and mixing valor and service awards as is often done can be confusing to non-specialists. Intothatdarkness 13:01, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
