Hello, I'm EricSerge. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Distinguished Service Medal (U.S. Army), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''As best as I can tell from Reilable sources Waltz received the New Jersey Distinguished Service Medal, something very different from the Army's DSM. Additionally, to be listed as a notable recipient that person needs a Wikipedia article, that means they meet Wikipedia's notability requirements.'' EricSerge (talk) 14:15, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Distinguished Service Medal (U.S. Army), even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. EricSerge (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Distinguished Service Medal (U.S. Army)‎
Please stop re-adding non-notable recipients to the Distinguished Service Medal (U.S. Army)‎ article. Editor consensus is that for individuals to be part of the "notable recipients" list, they must be notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article. I assumed good faith on your edit awhile back, and went looking for a reliable source. All I could find was that Waltz received the New Jersey Distinguished Service Medal, a medal awarded to honor veterans who are citizens of New Jersey. I could find no reference that he had received the Army Distinguished Service Medal. If Waltz had, as an E-5, received the DSM that would be unusual, and possibly notable for someone of such a low rank to receive an award that typically goes to Generals. However, there do not seem to be any sources that verify your assertion. EricSerge (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
