List of Victoria Cross recipients (G–M)

 * Nominator(s): Woody (talk) 17:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Quick on the heels of the recently promoted A–F list, this is the second of the three alphabetical lists. The errors pointed out in the A-F list have been fixed here as well and I think it meets the FL criteria. Thanks for your time, Woody (talk) 17:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * When I sort the table by "Date of action", Frederick Miller doesn't sort in the right place; it sorts between James McKechnie's 20 September 1854 and Thomas Grady's 18 October 1854. Albacore (talk) 16:25, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That was a typo on my part, fixed now. Thanks, Woody (talk) 21:36, 3 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Support job done for me, nice. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Support No issues with dabs or links! I beleive the footnotes should all end on a full stop. MisterBee1966 (talk) 15:53, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment – Only recommendation I have is to spell out RAF in the new pre-table note.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 01:52, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Done thanks. Woody (talk) 09:08, 10 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Support I agree with your use of Indian mutiny as it was called at the time, but some now consider it POV and as it redirects to Indian Rebellion of 1857 how about changing it to Indian rebellion with a redirect. Jim Sweeney (talk) 15:23, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite understanding what you are asking? What do you want the reader facing text to be? I think the text should remain as is (Indian Mutiny) as that is what the sources used call it and that is what the British Armed Forces refer to it as. The specific list List of Indian Mutiny Victoria Cross recipients is at that title for precisely the same reasoning. Woody (talk) 17:17, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No I am happy with Indian Mutiny just a comment that some now consider it POV, but as the sources call it that change to support. Jim Sweeney (talk) 17:26, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
