Talk:List of Medal of Honor recipients for World War II

message: It seems to me that the sort function on the tables does not work with the colspan/rowspan function. Since each entry would have to be changed to get them workingm it would be a quite a bit of editing to fix all of them. I will get around to it eventually if nobody does, but I'm posting this in case somebody chooses to beat me to it. bahamut0013♠♣ 20:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: There should be some mention here of the 22 Asian Americans and 7 African Americans who didn't receive their medals until the 1990s because of discrimination at the time they served. I plan to add a note for each man, and a brief mention in the lede. MartinaDee (talk) 23:45, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

message: The purple/lavender shading and "KIA" dagger symbol  are said to indicate posthumous bestowal of the MoH.  This convention is also followed in Lists for Korea, Vietnam, and post-Vietnam though not in the "parent" article List of Medal of Honor recipients. Especially with the Medal of Honor#Belated recognition of many MoH recipients due to past discrimination, should we be distinguishing:
: (A) those who were killed during the MoH action itself (as the KIA template suggests) from 
: (B) those who survived the action but whose recognition was delayed past the person's non-combat-related death?
Has this issue been discussed and resolved elsewhere? Should we discuss elsewhere? — RCraig09 (talk) 22:13, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

message: There is currently no photo for Ernest E. Evans, but this could be fixed easily since there is a photo of him in on his personal Wikipedia page that is public domain.  I couldn't upload the photo without registering for an account, but it could be fixed easily in a matter of minutes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:315D:C270:F13F:9462:AD93:27F4 (talk) 21:42, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The majority of Medal of Honor Recipient lists, both for this section and for the primary, use the note section to explicitly list the citation reason for receiving the Medal.  I would like to propose reformatting this page to do this with all recipients listed.  This would both fill out some of the currently incomplete notations, and also keep the information relevant and informative.

replies: text: Good Idea - but just a sentence or two, not the entire citation!  That can be read at the individual's article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.231.67.253 (talk) 17:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Within the comment on the actions of Desmond Doss, there is a sentence "He also saved injured Japs"... I always thought that a "Jap" is a racist term and was used as such even in the 40s... Probably would be a good idea to change that to "japanese soldiers" or something. Never did any editing on wikipedia, so I am gonna leave that to you guys.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1028:8B41:DF1E:71B2:2B9A:98C:6BF7 (talk) 21:36, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

message: Did he not get a non-combat version? They still did that a little in WWII. Should be noted somewhere. 2A00:23C7:E284:CF00:58DD:DC5F:92BB:1B37 (talk) 00:26, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
