Victoria Cross (Canada)
(self nom) This article is one of the Victoria Cross medals featured topic. This article follows the same structure as the featured article Victoria Cross for New Zealand and Victoria Cross. This article is currently a good article and it has passed a good article review fairly recently. In case you were wondering about its name, it is complicated. In Canada this is the Victoria Cross, in United Kingdom it is referred to as the Victoria Cross, for Canadian military personnel. The Canadians did not use the suffix "for ..." unlike New Zealand and Australia. That being said, I think it is worthy of featured article status and i humbly submit it to you all.

 * Support Article seems complete in all Canada-related respects, and, per nom, closely follows structure of existing FA. --  X damr  talk 14:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Support, meets all criteria. I just wanted to note the following: "The original Victoria Cross was created through a Royal Warrant issued by Queen Victoria, on January 29, 1856, in order to recognise incidents of gallantry that were unconnected with a man's lengthy or meritorious service." According to the Wikipedia article about it, Canadian English uses "recognize" rather than "recognise". But since this is also kind of a British topic, I won't insist on Canadian English being used.--Carabinieri 01:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
