United Nations 2001 Volunteer Service Medal

 * Delete except if shown not to be a hoax. Looks like a hoax, but if someone can provide a source that shows this medal to be true, I will change my vote. DarthVad e r 04:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment here is a page that describes HRH Prince Michael of Albany as receiving the award (scroll down to "Saturday August 24th, 2002"). There is also a photo that matches the description that was given on an earlier version of this page.  The problem is that the site itself looks an awful lot like a hoax.   Google makes HRH Prince Michael of Albany look like a real person, though.  Also, this is the only reference to the award that I could find, excluding Wikipedia mirrors.  Maybe it was a one-shot deal?  ergot 18:57, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Abstain I'm changing my vote pending more information. That picture of Prince Michael's medal is intrigueing. It does bear the logo of the United Nations 2001 International Year of Volunteers, (and I think that's what it says around the edge,) but the ribbon does not have the correct shade of UN blue. I found a page that says that independent parties have borrowed the IYV logo for medals. Maybe this is one such medal - not quite a hoax, but not a UN decoration either.--Yannick 04:12, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
