Talk:Order of St. George

message: I see in several articles mention of the gold sabre awarded for bravery (St. George's Weapon) but there being no mention that it is also considered to be an Order of St. George award. These recipients also need to be included, albeit under a separate section about the award.For example, Apollon Galafeyev mentions "a gold sabre inscribed 'For Bravery'". It's more than just a gold sabre. PЄTЄRS J V ►TALK 18:42, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that. I have tracked down and obtained a quite excellent English language reference. I'll take a look at the RU WP article for cues for organizing Russian Empire versus later Russian Federation. PЄTЄRS J V ►TALK 19:37, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

text: (Having seen RU WP has two articles...) in view of this being an English language encyclopedia, I think it would be confusing to have separate articles on the historical imperial and current federation awards as its fundamental purpose has not changed and its current instantiation is an updated reinstatement of the imperial award.

message: I changed the link to the Russian article, it now goes to the current modern award, it used to go to the imperial award.  Fdutil (talk) 04:10, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. For this article, I think a combination would be best, as I've noted. PЄTЄRS J V ►TALK 19:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In researching the awards given to Swedish King, and former Napoleonic Marshal, Carl XIV Johan, I came across a couple sources that say he was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order by Alexander I for Bernadotte's victory over Ney at the Battle of Dennewitz.
The information cited here states that only four grades exist, though I assume, like all Chivalric Orders of this nature, that a grand collar or cordon exists for the monarch and for distribution to other heads of state.
Can anyone confirm this so that I might update Carl Johan's entry on the page?

thread_title: Grand Cordon of the Order of St. George?

message: The list mixes up awards of the Order of St George (for officers) and the Cross of St George (for enlisted men). Of the Recipients of the Order first class only two actually were, others were awarded the enlisted men's cross. Lists of 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees are well researched, cf. :ru:Кавалеры ордена Святого Георгия I класса, :ru:Кавалеры ордена Святого Георгия II класса (complete lists). Perhaps, if it's impossible to maintain correct lists here, they'd better be deleted? Retired electrician (talk) 18:34, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of awards - grossly incorrect 

message: There are two more recipients 
Field marshal prince Alexander ivanovich Baryatinsky who was awarded the order of st  George 2nd class in 1859
And Field marshal prince Alexander chernyshov who earned it 4th class 
This can even be easily double checked by visiting their Wikipedia pages or even through famous portraits of theirs  2A02:1388:209D:CAB9:819A:A20:D202:A816 (talk) 08:49, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
