Hello,

About the issue on Guinnevre Dunhart's talk page, there's no problem with you wanting to straighten something out with your project as you had initially done by posting on the talk page. However, regardless of how linked it is to your project, you cannot simply edit another person's page to that extent, no matter how minor one may think it is, without their prior consent. If you want to handle things on the wiki talk pages, in Discord or even in-game, there's no problem. If the discrepancy problem persists, you can contact an admin. It's been done before on various subjects. But personally editing the person's page? That is going out of line. Even for an edit that one can consider "minor", it's a matter of principle.

Furthermore, while in real-life situations order of wear is indeed important, an important detail to keep in mind is that this isn't real life. Indeed, we play the game and role-play as if we were part of the universe, but at the end of the day, it is fiction. And unlike published books, the only ones likely to read them are the few people who not only play on Moon Guard, but go to the wiki. There is no need to take things so seriously and strict as the Silmarillion or as if it were real - after all, we're all here only to have fun. Are you really going to let a single person ruin your fun because a bunch of fictional medals are ordered in the wrong way? Is that all it takes? They're not real medals, they're not awarded for real actions. If someone puts the Victoria Cross at the bottom of their order of wear, Commonwealth veterans will be offended because of the meaning it has and the sacrifices made to earn it. But if someone puts, say, the Alliance Legion of Valor at the bottom of their order of wear, it won't get the same reaction, because no real people died or were wounded for it. It's an extremely big and very important difference.

My point is, this is becoming very serious for a subject that, in the grand scheme of things, is absolutely trivial. Think about it: When we're both going to be dead and gone, no one is going to give a damn what fictional citations and medals are on our pages and in what order they are. No one will remember. No one will care. Because it's a fictional fanon made for people to have fun and play pretend military in a fantasy universe, like an adult game of Cops and Robbers, and that's how it should be.
