Working definition

The working definition is, "the forms of the Victoria Cross given around the world." --PresN 23:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Vital improvements

This topic satisfies the criteria. --PresN 23:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Potential improvements

For Victoria Cross for Australia and Victoria Cross (Canada) to be improved to FA. --PresN 23:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Possible additions

None at the moment. --PresN 23:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Recipients

I disagree! Some possible list-related additions are:

• List of Victoria Cross recipients by name - A, ..., List of Victoria Cross recipients by name - Z (this could form a subtopic if an appropriate lead is found)
• List of living Victoria Cross recipients
• List of Victoria Cross recipients by campaign, List of Crimean War Victoria Cross recipients, ..., List of Afghanistan War (2001) Victoria Cross recipents (this could form a subtopic)
• List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality (FL), List of Australian Victoria Cross recipients (FL), List of Canadian Victoria Cross recipients (FL), List of English Victoria Cross recipients, List of Irish Victoria Cross recipients (FL), List of Scottish Victoria Cross recipients, List of Indian Victoria Cross recipients, List of Channel Islands Victoria Cross recipients and List of Victoria Cross recipients of uncertain Nationality (again, this could form a subtopic)
• List of Victoria Cross recipients of the Royal Navy (FL) and List of Victoria Cross recipients of the Indian Army (FL) (with more articles in a similar vein which would need to be added)
• List of Victoria Crosses by School

That's a lot! Some other possible additions are:

• The Victoria Cross and George Cross Association - Association for living recipients
• William Lummis and David Charles Harvey - both researched the VC
• Hancocks - the jeweller who makes the VC
• Dickin Medal - "has become recognised as "the animals' Victoria Cross"."
• Tomb of the Unknowns - notable recipient
• Recipients who forfeited the cross and those who won it twice are also particularly notable
• Fictional recipients could be added, though no doubt this category is far from complete
• Books about the VC could be added

...and I think that's everything we could add! rst20xx (talk) 16:23, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

They are all tangentially related, but do not fall into the scope of the working definition which is: "the forms of the Victoria Cross around the world." I see this FT as the "medals FT," I am working on the recipients ones. They all work off different lists, Lists by nationality, lists by campaign, lists by surname. Each of those could be separate FTs as far as I can see and not part of this one. Woody (talk) 16:29, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes that's true, as I said at various points, other articles could form related topics/subtopics of this one instead of being added to it (which indeed would probably be more sensible considering the size of some of these groupings). Additionally, the working definition can always be changed to fit the articles, so long as it is still well defined, so that's not a problem. I was just listing ideas.

I'm glad to hear you're working on more FTs :) rst20xx (talk) 17:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
