Colonial Police Long Service Medal → Overseas Territories Police Long Service Medal – Move proposed to reflect the fact the medal was renamed in 2012. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 14:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: When referring to a medal that someone received, one would probably refer to it by the name that is printed on it at the time they received it. Thus, most of these medals have probably been Colonial Police Long Service Medals. I don't think someone would use the new name to refer to a medal awarded in 1940. New names do not automatically have precedence over old ones on Wikipedia. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:30, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- @BarrelProof: That's certainly not in dispute. People awarded it when it was the Colonial Police medal will continue to have it named as such here and in their respective articles. However, this proposal is about should we move the medal to its current official title that has been used for 12 years? The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 14:58, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
