It seems you and I agree with the "most decorated" and "leave as is/or change" topic from a month or so ago. I penned a pretty good argument for this subject but it was quickly archived on page 3 in the archives section. If you get a moment will you check it out, read it and give your insight/input into my argument. I would appreciate it. I think it is titled "Sourcing of "most decorated". Thanks!

In a word, WOW! Among other things, the link to the Kentucky House joint resolution is no longer valid. I found a copy at another url. The Rhode Island Assembly also passed a resolution about Connor. Go Figure. I think the best place to talk is at Talk:Garlin Murl Conner#Correct medal count; I started the section and flagged it as empty. I don't have access to MUSE from where I sit, although I can see the first page of the article; my research tool is GALILEO. I've asked a librarian friend if she can access it. I don't know why we can't cite the Military Board of Corrections report unless it marked as being not releasable. Same applies to Ridenour; anyone who does have access can verify your citations.
One of the things that bothered me back when is that so many of the references said essentially the same thing. Nature of the beast.
Let's get this right.

Please stop starting discussions of the same topic in multiple places, this is very confusing, pick one page and mention any other articles that are related in that discussion. Thank you, - FlightTime ( open channel) 15:36, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I see that you are the most recent editor on the Silver Star page. I just made a Wikipedia account in hopes to add my Great Uncle to the list of recipients. I have the official letter and documentation for his award. Can I make the change? Is there anywhere I need to add the documents for proof? Mathforlife ( talk) 03:33, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
"he and others should be recognized"because they already have: they got their awards. You don't need to visit a website decades later to add his name. If we wanted to write about him, we would have. I very much understand your motivation but I've tried to explain above why you cannot do this and you give the impression you've ignored what I wrote due to your single-minded obsession.
