List of foreign recipients of the Knight's Cross
The list is complete and reflects the same style used in List of Knight's Cross recipients. Therefore it should qualify for FLC as well.MisterBee1966 (talk) 11:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment That's a pretty short list, is there any reason why it can't be merged with List of Knight's Cross recipients, which isn't particularily large? -- Scorpion0422 14:35, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I mentioned the reason for the separate list in the second paragraph. MisterBee1966 (talk) 15:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Second paragraph where? -- Scorpion0422 17:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * "It should be noted that the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht did not assign a numbering scheme to 'foreign recipients' and have listed them separately from the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS recipients."MisterBee1966 (talk) 17:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That's highlighted another problem - there's a lot of jargon (for want of a better word) here - it's quite inaccessible to the non-expert. Featured content needs to be accessible to all so I think you need to do some work on explaining the context further, trying to de-jargonise or describe the German further...

 * Well, then the list is too short to be an FL because such a short list does not represent "Wikipedia's Best Work". Several other FLCs have failed because of the same reason. -- Scorpion0422 17:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I take it that your comments, Scorpion, were in response to MisterBee's, not mine?! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:54, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. -- Scorpion0422 18:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I explained my reasoning more explicitly and expanded the intro a bit. I believe this addresses the issue.MisterBee1966 (talk) 22:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Question, would it make sense to merge List of foreign recipients of the Knight's Cross and List of foreign recipients of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves? I had broken them into two lists because they refer to different grades of the same award and make navigation via the Template easier. To both list the same paradigm applies that the recipients were not members of the German Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS and have to be listed separately because historically they were listed separately. MisterBee1966 (talk) 18:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge sounds perfectly reasonable to me. No reason why Wikipedia should list them separately.  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. -- Scorpion0422 18:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, I have merged the two lists. Hopefully the combined material has enough substance for FLC.MisterBee1966 (talk)
 * Support - a lot of hard work has gone into this since its initial nomination, all thanks to the dedication of MisterBee1966. I satisfied that the article is now suitable for elevation to WP:FL, well done.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It would be nice if the same column in each of the tables had the same width. Right now, there is a sort of 'wavy' appearance to the tables. Hmains (talk) 03:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't see that. Every table starts like this
 * {|class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
 * ! width="25%" | Name
 * ! width="9%" | Country
 * ! width="14%" | Rank
 * ! width="24%" | Unit
 * ! width="10%" | Date of award
 * ! width="18%" | Notes
 * ! width="18%" | Notes


 * If this can be improved I don't know how. Comments/suggestions are appreciated. MisterBee1966 (talk) 06:43, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me as well. It would seem to depend on the OS/browser.  The Rambling Man (talk) 11:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 *  Conditional support Asterisks are really bothering me. The explanation is really easy to miss. I'd suggest to denote posthumous receipts with something more obvious, like a)coloring a cell, or b)use note label.-- Crzycheetah 06:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * done! MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's better.-- Crzycheetah 09:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Looks good. -- Scorpion0422 15:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
