I'm persuaded that the ribbon you introduced in Ernesto Burzagli is not the correct one for this particular article; but your research may be better than mine. Please explain the research which informs your work. I look forward to learning more about this; and I would be pleased to discover than I'm simply wrong. -- Tenmei ( talk) 18:17, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
It is quite rude of you to assume that I am in error when you are the one who is screwing up the tables in these articles you are editing; especially when you yourself stated that you have little knowledge of how the Marine Corps mandates the wear of awards. There is a rationale to why I use rows of four rather than three whenever possible, and it is insulting that you assumed I was simply trying to take the easiest path (if I was, I wouldn't have undertaken the project at all).
That aside, I really don't have a problem with you changing the ribbons to rows of three if there is a good reason for it, but arbitrary edits are pointless. I will revert any edits where the tables are not formatted properly, i.e. gaps, misalignments, or the text not matching the graphics. If you choose to change the work I have put into this, then you must do it correctly, and not leave messed up tables in a biography article. You can refer to Help:table and User:Bahamut0013/ribbon workshop for more help. You should preview your work before you save the article so you don't leave a poorly-formatted table avaialable for all to see while you are working on it (it also cuts down on the number of revisions the page has to endure). bahamut0013 words deeds 12:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Addendum: you said that you formatted the table on Harmon Rabb, but your username does not appear in the page history. Care to enlighten me as to whether you are using a sockpuppet or if there is some confusion here?

I just wanted to say "thanks" for all the contributions you've been making, especially your ability to find high-quality images of foreign award ribbons. If you are ever bored and need something to do, take a look at the pages displaying File:Noribbon.svg and see if you can find the images for them. In particular, I've been making ribbon racks for Marine biographies, and I've been seeing a lot of officers awarded stuff from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic (circa 1930s) that we don't have images for. Again, bravo! bahamut0013 words deeds 14:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Can you take a look at File:James L. Jones 2.jpg (or File:James L. Jones.jpg) and verify an award for me? Second row from the bottom, third from the veiwer's left; blue ribbon with a red center and some kind of device. Many moons ago, I'd assumed it was the Marine Corps Recruiting Ribbon, but now I realize that the red stripe is too wide and that it's unlikely he's done six tours as a recruiter, with his bio not mentioning anything that suggests recruiting.
I was thinking that it may be the Military Order of Italy, which makes sense as he was SACEUR. bahamut0013 words deeds 11:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Take a look at Robert B. Johnston, bottom row, second from the left. I'd forgotten that all I could find was something similar, but it lacks the white stripes and rosette. There isn't even a mention of this in a Wikipedia search, and I can't sort through the Arab Wikipedia. Can you help? bahamut0013 words deeds 16:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
