Review (criteria)	Support —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 14:59, 27 April 2021 (UTC)  Comment I believe you should always specifiy the rank of a holder of the VC. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC)  Comment I have uploaded 35 images of VC memorials and gravestones here, none of which mention the rank. I you think if this is a point, it's too much late to raise it now. Otherwise, please start an RFC. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:21, 30 April 2021 (UTC)  Oppose The scope is formatted incorrectly. Rank is needed. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:43, 30 April 2021 (UTC) '''{{Citation needed}}''' That's only your opinion. It wasn't an issue in Commons:Valued image candidates/Prosser (Joseph) VC grave, Anfield Cemetery 2.jpg Commons:Valued image candidates/Connolly VC memorial, Kirkdale Cemetery.jpg or here Commons:Valued image candidates/Lafone paving stone, Seaforth and Waterloo War Memorial.jpg Stop inventing spurious reasons to oppose, please. It's beginning to look very like harassment. What do others think? Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:22, 30 April 2021 (UTC)  Support In this case Rodhullandemu is right. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 19:29, 30 April 2021 (UTC) Not so. I telephoned to verify the correct form Archaeodontosaurus before opposing. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:23, 1 May 2021 (UTC)  Comment I know many people from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Who did you speak to? Elizabeth Smith? But in any case why should their conventions apply on Commons? Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:55, 1 May 2021 (UTC)  Support I visited the VC and GC Association website. This page lists the graves that the association is restoring. No ranks are mentioned. If a rank were to be added, would one describe Quentin_Smythe VC (for example) as a sergeant (his rank when he was awarded the VC) or as a captain (his rank when he left the army). Martinvl (talk) 15:44, 2 May 2021 (UTC) Result: 3 support, 1 oppose => promoted. Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:12, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
