The Category:Recipients of the Military Cross is not intended to be a complete list of those holding the MC, rather the categorisation system here is a way of marking various articles with some common feature. An important concept on Wikipedia is that of notability, winners of the MC are not held to be "automatically" notable (this applies only to holders of the VC and GC of British decorations), so your father would have to "qualify" for notability on some other grounds in order for him to qualify for an article here. If he did so, then that article would be place in the relevant caetgory, and he would appear on that page. In general it is better to put comments like the one you made on the talk/discussion page, rather than on an article page. David Underdown (talk) 16:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
