I hope youse don't mind me butting in, but I, too, have a few comments on the article. See also sections should only be used as a last resort and should only contain links that are highly relevant to the subject, but are also not previously linked to in the prose. As the SEALs article is already linked to, it should be removed, same with the other Medal of Honor recipients; they do not really add anything to the article and are not highly relevant to the context of Murphy. Also, there are way too many subheadings in the area of Murphy's honours. The "Other honours", "Michael P. Murphy Memorial Park", "Michael P. Murphy United States Post Office", "U.S.S. Michael Murphy DDG-112" and "Biography" sections should be combined into a single "Legacy" section. Additionally, Note 1 is solely WP:OR and should be referenced or removed; same with all of the "Military awards". Cheers, Abraham, B.S. ( talk) 06:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Michael's father again. Unsure of why Michael's GWOT Service Medal was removed from the site. The picture referenced in MIchael's legacy web site of his uniform presented to us by the Navy at the Lake Ronkonkoma dedication shows the GWOT service medal having been awarded...also Michael's official Navy records which I now have in my possession show the award along with the Silver Star for his combat service in Afghanistan in 2005 as opposed to an upgrade. The MOH was separate and referenced the battle itself. Do you need a copy of the citations because I have them? They will all appear in Michael's biography by Gary Williams. It is tentatively titled "When Character met Circumstance; The Life of Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy" which comes from a speech by Admiral Maguire, then head of Naval Special Warfare, at the Navy Memorial wherein he referenced Michael's character coming to the forefront when confronted with the circumstances he faced on that tragic June day. I might note that not all of Michael's awards show up on his official Navy bio. 207.29.190.95 ( talk) 18:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC) Daniel J. Murphy
The ribbons display is incorrect. In the Navy, we only display horizontal rows of 3 each (US Navy Uniform Regs para 5312). Also, I couldn't find it in the regulations but I believe that the MOH ribbon is always centered by itself in its own row above everything else. The GWOT SM should be there as well as the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. The previously questioned GWOT Expeditionery Medal probably should also be there if LT Murphy made two deployments to the Middle East. One deployment would earn the GWOT EM, the other the Afgh Campaign Medal, which is already present. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.81.6.11 ( talk) 09:07, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
