Why was the image of the Bath medal removed? I saw in the remarks that it ws labeled as "low quality". I will look for a better image, but that it is NOT a valid reason to delete an image that someone else posted unless you are prepared to replace the image with a better one. User:Husnock 2 Aug 04
Sorry, I was unaware that a lack of quality was an invalid reason. -- Emsworth
I moved the image to make the article appear a little bit better. Most Wilk articles have an "eye catcher" picture at the start of the article. The way this one was set up, the pictures were 2/3rds of the way down in the body of the article. I think it looks better this way. If not this picture, then something at the top there to give an image right when you start reading teh article Husnock 21 Sep 04
This statement should be revised or qualified in some wise as it gives rise to the questions both under what circumstances, and can regular knights be so stripped, and, if so, under what circumstances? -- Daniel C. Boyer 16:27, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Does the Order of the Bath really rank after OM and CH among the British orders of chivalry? And are OM and CH even 'orders of chivalry'? Their members do not receive knighthoods. Mapple 19:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
This is the correct ranking for orders of chivalry, of which the orders of knighthood are just one section. alexmb
The original rankings I think (?) came from the royal family's site. Look at http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page490.asp . I am not going to touch the order you have changed it to until we can find a definitive list - there must be one....??!!

Question: It is stated in the article that the three crowns in the Bath insignia refer to the Kingdoms of England,Scotland and Ireland. Surely this would be the Kingdoms of England Scotland and the German electorate of Hanover from where King George came. The order was inaugurated in 1725 yet Ireland was not elevated to a Kingdom within the United Kingdom until 1801. If you look at the three crowns you will notice they are Hanovrian crowns rather than British crowns. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.200.116.72 ( talk • contribs) 07:17, 29 April 2005.
Do male GCBs, KCBs and CBs wear a neck badge? Or do they wear the badges on their left chest? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.128.3 ( talk • contribs) 22:23, 30 May 2006
There seem to be Category:Knights of the Order of the Bath and Category:Knights Commander of the Order of the Bath. Surely they should be merged? - Kittybrewster 13:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there an online source giving the citations for the award of Knighthoods of the Order of the Bath? I have looked for them in vain on the web, including in the London Gazette. Any ideas? Thanks. -- 78.54.119.70 ( talk) 08:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the photograph of Chiang Kai-shek because I don't think it's particularly relevant to the subject of the article. He was an honorary GCB (at least according to the article about him) but (a) there's no other reference to him in the rest of this article, much less any explanation as to why his photograph appears so prominently, and (b) the photograph in question doesn't show him actually wearing the vestments, riband, badge, star or collar of the Order. -- Nicholas Jackson ( talk) 18:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
It'd be nice if we could have a list of all GCBs - it's the highest honor in the UK we don't have a full list of (we have all KGs, KTs, KPs, KBs, OMs, and apparently GCSIs). There's a list in Haydn's Book of Dignities that goes up to 1887, but I'm not sure where to find the rest. Obviously they're in the London Gazette, but that thing has the worst user interface ever if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. john k ( talk) 16:43, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
The following notes were added to the article by an anonymous user (81.98.210.143). I've removed them but have copied the information here for further discussion or verification. -- Nicholas Jackson ( talk) 11:55, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

The use of honours in the early eighteenth century differed considerably from the modern honours system in which hundreds, if not thousands, of people each year receive honours on the basis of deserving accomplishments.
Like running really, really fast; or being a supermarket boss; or contributing to a prime minister's banknote collection, etc. etc..

I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. This very old FA has considerable uncited text, missing as of dates, a listy lead, and some content that may be dated based on old sources used. Per the abundance of the use of the word today, a MOS:CURRENT review is also in order. The word also is often redundant, and often is here; there are other indications that a good copyedit is overdue. Images should not be left-aligned when that offsets a list. I am listing this at WP:FARGIVEN; hopefully improvements can be made sufficient to avoid a Featured article review. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 21:32, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
