Hi there, based on your editing pattern I believe that you are YahwehSaves. If you have a log in please use it so that it is easier to communicate with you. Communication is important since editing here at Misplaced Pages requires that we build consensus to achieve our aims and goals. In your recent edits to War Cross (Belgium), you have been removing the name War Cross and changing it to Croix de Guerre. Belgium is a trilingual country, I could just as easily go back and change it to Oorlogskruis, which is the medal's Dutch name. Since this is the English Misplaced Pages, English is the preferred language unless there is a compelling reason to use a foreign language. Hence the usage of War Cross, that way I do not choose sides in a country's language debate and remain neutral, which is another key tenet of Misplaced Pages. If you feel so very strongly about the name, before you make sweeping changes, try to build consensus on the talk page. Misplaced Pages does not have a deadline. I am going to change the name references back to conform with the article's title. Please make a case on the talk page for why it should be different. If you have sources please share them in our case. Cheers. EricSerge (talk) 05:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

South Vietnam medal names

FYI, take a look at this if you want official name for South Vietnamese medals: Medals and Decorations of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces - South Vietnam - 1967. A publication by the government of South Vietnam. It would not be necessary for the Vietnamese to call the a medal Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Medal. The just call it Civil Actions Medal. Ask your self this question. What do Chinese people call Chinese food? The just call if food. Cheers. EricSerge (talk) 05:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC) I did use "Gallantry Cross" more than once. This isn't Misplaced Pages in Vietnamese or Misplaced Pages in Chinese but in Misplaced Pages in English. The Vietnamese awards manual is by the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). Misplaced Pages uses English, so its called the Vietnam or Vietnamese Gallantry Cross or "Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry" in Vietnam. With a palm its a called Vietnamese Gallantry Cross with Palm (not palm) according to the military awards manuals (military editors); French Croix de Guerre avec Palm (Croix de Guerre with Palm) not Croix de guerre or Croix de guerre with palm--Misplaced Pages (English). Discrimination.

January 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Harold G. Schrier. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jayjg 04:12, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Also, you're obviously YahwehSaves (talk · contribs), so please login when you edit. Jayjg 04:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

You're bias, discriminating, dishonest, and intimidating the wrong person. Introduction--Six Marines didn't "raise" the first flag--read Citation there. The photo says 2 are sitting when its clear to see there's only one sitting and it not Schrier (its Thomas). On and on.

Apology

Sorry, I assumed that the change of Urban to Urbanowitz was vandalism. I should have looked further. Sorry for removing your edits. Jim1138 (talk) 05:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Login please

YahwehSaves (talk · contribs), you have an account. Login please when you're editing.

If you would have checked your Source Talk, you would see that is not a ligitimate site since it has other non-Jews called Jewish besides Urban.
