Thomas Edison[edit]

Yes, that Thomas Edison. He received the Navy DSM for "exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service in a position of great responsibility as president of the Naval Consulting Board" during World War I. 209.125.254.11 (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Omar Bradley[edit]

Requested move 25 April 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Page moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Jerm (talk) 20:37, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Distinguished Service Medal (United States Navy) → Navy Distinguished Service Medal – The move makes sense from a WP:COMMONNAME standpoint and follows the naming convention of Air Force Distinguished Service Medal and the actual usage of the name on Wikipedia. The current name is used 216 times while the requested name is used more than 500 times. EricSerge (talk) 15:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 19:21, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This would complete a triangle of moves.

Relisting in the hope of stability and pinging the previous movers, both of them still active. Andrewa (talk) 19:25, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
