Talk:Achievement Medal

message: I have just completed the B class checklist and believe that the article could be improved by creating a more defined structure, i.e. adding a distinct introductory section of between a couple of sentences to a couple of paragraphs. Following this there could be a section on History, Eligibility, Notable Awards (possibly), etc. Also, the article lacks in line citations and a requires more references to be up to a B class standard. Once these have been added, you might like to seek reassessment. This can be done by adding it to the list on WP:MHA. Hope this helps. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:32, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

message: For the Army Achievement Medal, What is the supporting documents that says that a valor device (V) can be put on it? Because while it can be awarded in a combat zone, it is given for non-combat related achievements. I cannot find anything online besides this website.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.134.58.28 (talk) 16:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: "V" Device

message: The legal section looks to me like a direct quote from law, and I'm not sure what it adds to the article, since there is nothing to suggest it applies any more or less to this medal than to any other. I propose removing it, unless there are any objections?--86.15.17.142 (talk) 18:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Object - the fact that the law also applies to other medals isn't relevant.  The fact that this medal is protected by law is relevant to this article about the medal.  The decision to keep it in some articles and remove it from others would be arbitrary.  Rklawton (talk) 18:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Comment: I have wondered for a while who choose to begin adding those legal claims to all the medal articles.  I'm not againt it, I just wonder how much of a point it serves. -OberRanks (talk) 19:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the note lets folks know they can't claim one without having been awarded one.  I'd say that's pretty useful to know.  It easy enough to buy medals, and this information might help keep someone out of trouble.  It also lets readers know that the Federal government places some value on these medals - enough to protect them.  Rklawton (talk) 20:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
