A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 10, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that the Cross of Valour and the Star of Courage (pictured) are the two highest ranks of Canadian Bravery Decorations?

Untitled[edit]

I have added a list from http://www.gg.ca/Search/honours_e.asp but its not in chronological order. Feel free to change this list to make it more efficient User:Dowew May 14 2005

Perhaps this should be turned into a disambig page ?

Better Picture[edit]

I Think this is a better picture of the CV

Amédéo Garrammone[edit]

The list gives "Sergent Amédéo Garrammone 1980". However, the article it links to refers to him as Private (not Sergeant) Amédéo Garrammone. Which is correct?

He was undoubtably a private when he recieved the award and was later made seargent.Colin 8 22:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged[edit]

it appears the link that produced the list of recipents is no longer valid, hence, this list is not verifiable anymore. I've tagged the list. I've also replaced the link with a working link about the Cross of Valour.--Isotope23 12:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Military Award[edit]

I feel I should note that this award, while available to members of the military for acts committed while on duty or in the good of the service, is not a military award. It is a civilian award, available to any person who commits a high act of bravery in Canada, involving Canadians, or otherwise involving Canada. I will now appropriately amend the article to affirm this.JMesh (talk) 03:33, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • As its Cross of Valour should it not be Croix de la Vaillance with a capital V
  • the highest honour available for Canadian civilians - as its awarded to non Canadians this should be reworded - the highest honour awarded by Canada to civilians or similar
  • a miniature cross may be worn on the ribbon bar in undress - I know what you mean but oit sounds as if they are naked
  • In the Eligibility section Anyone may nominate or be nominated for receipt of the Cross of Valour a short line on how you nominate someone would be useful, but not including it will not fail GA
  • Can the recipients be changed into prose. A the moment its a short list, but in ten years and another 50/100 awards it would unmanageable. You could include how many were posthumous, and why they were awarded/circumstances and link to the [Category:Recipients of the Cross of Valour (Canada)] which makes the list redundant.
  • No disambig links need fixing
  • All external links checked and in order
  • A good job just some minor points. If you disagree with anything, just let me know.

On hold[edit]

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.Jim Sweeney (talk) 15:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
