I believe this list is ready for FLC review. This was created in a different format from most of the other Medal of Honor lists but I thought it looked good.--Kumioko (talk) 22:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose—Poor relationship to other articles ("Usefulness" criterion) and MOS breaches.
- Do we really need "United States" to be linked? Do we need it at all in the opening sentence? MOS breach in the final punctuation of the quote. "Intrepidity"—have they really invented such an ugly word? Remove "it". In terms of nesting this into surrounding content, why isn't there a piped link to the section that deals with African Americans in the Medal of Honor article? Medal_of_Honor#Controversies. The MOS breaches in that article (need a space before the ellipsis dots) are repeated here. En dashes for ranges, and see MOS for when to space them. Is it normal to copy text from other articles word for word? I'd have thought rather poor practice, and this is a slightly different context and serves a different objective, yes? I'm disappointed.

- Comments-The table is a bit confusing at times, but each person should have a source to verify that they won the award, or their should be a link in the intro to the table, or in the table headers that lists the recipients.--~SRS~ 03:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
