Talk:Lists of Victoria Cross recipients

Primary?

Can one of these lists (probably nationality or name) be considered the "primary" list of VC recipients, and link the other lists from a "See also" section? The dab page seems to be an impediment to reaching the desired information in this case. -- JHunterJ (talk) 10:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I am working on all the VC lists but it takes time. There isn't really a primary list, though A-Z would be one if anything. I am currently working on the "by campaign" lists, trying to morph them into one list with forked sub-lists. I don't think this acts as an impediment, it does what it is meant to. When people are looking for recipients, they have varied starting points, and this seems the best way to go about it. Woody (talk) 11:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, this does add another layer to the proces I suppose, there is the navigation template, so when all the lists are up to FL standard it might make sense to move the A-Z index here, and then the navbox would allow people to navigate by alternative routes if they wished.

Listings by Regiment?

Might this be feasible, even though so many units would now be operating under different titles? 109.157.234.103 (talk) 00:09, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Combine Alphabetical lists

I think we lose more than we gain by splitting the alphabetical list into three. I propose merging. LukeSurl ^{t c} 21:12, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Where might I find a list VC awards by date awarded? Help!

Hello,

First off, thank you for doing all the work you do to make this info available, you are (all) awesome! Kudos!

Help! After 30 minutes of web searching (Google) cannot find a list by the date of the award. I am looking up a Baron Wantage, he was one of the original Crimean war recipients I think. Current lists are not of any use.

For example,from the Crimean war page list; The first ceremony was held on 26 June 1857 where Queen Victoria invested 62 of the 111 Crimean recipients in Hyde Park.[1] - The date provided next to the entry is the date of the action for which the award was made, and is alphabetical. Which of these were in attendance at the first ceremony is the question, and this would apply as well I believe for the other campaigns and categories.

By Date of Award: Researchers in particular my find it interesting when multiple famous persons come together and could have met each other for such awards although their deeds may have been separated in place and time.

By Date of Action: Of similar interest for scholars might be a list by the date of the action for which the award was made, although the two lists should be quite similar.

thank you! 99.89.125.26 (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.89.125.26 (talk) 18:49, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
