Talk:Richard Dannatt

message: Richard Dannatt was the commander of 4th (UK) Armd Bde under IFOR, within 3 (UK) Division commanded by Mike Jackson (although they were not there on 20 December and at that point he was effectively still COMD BRITFOR). When Jackson arrived he took over. He did not command the British element of IFOR in 1995/96 (except initially for a short time), Jackson did. The lead is incorrect.

message: Hello,
I Thought it would be good to give a thing to give a specific decsription of the Honours Received by General Dannatt. specifically all the campaign medals. people do not always no what all the medals are/mean. and it does not in my opinion hurt the article to have it included.
Also  the Reasoning used for removing it in the first place I believe is flawed at best. The Reason given by
User:Ian Rose  - "reached Featured Article status without ribbon farm, no call for it now" is silly and stupid , just because an article has reached featured article status does not mean you should stop improving it.
Thanks

replies: text: Well, gee, thanks for your polite and mature response to a fellow editor's comments. Indeed, the fact that an article has reached FA doesn't mean it's beyond improvement, but you might consider that on it's way to reaching FA, the page has been reviewed by many other editors who haven't felt that rows of pretty pictures and a list of medals either uncited, or else already covered in the text, would improve it. There have been several discussions at the MilHist talk page about medal farms, and arbitrarily adding them to Commonwealth military bios has never had consensus.

replies: text: I agree with Ian, there might be plenty of military bios with these ribbon farms, but they are mostly US ones, and there isn't consensus for adding it to this one. Regards, Peacemaker67  (send... over) 12:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree with Ian. I don't see how the ribbons improve the article other than (possibly) make it more colourful. Dormskirk (talk) 20:58, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
