Disruptive edits by YahwehSaves (a.k.a. 75.79.31.20)

YahwehSaves (a.k.a. 75.79.31.20), it appears you're trolling quite a few pages & creating edit wars. You've been warned, numerous times previously, about making such disruptive edits. If you wish your edits to take effect, you must: 1) Log in. 2) Follow thepolicies & guidelines, manual of style, and understand good faith. 3) Adhere to the agreed consensus of the article. As for the confusion with Matt Urban's accoutrements. Here's some clarity specific to the Arrowhead device.

Arrowhead device – Displayed at the Institute of Heraldry, IAW section 12 (Wear of Appurtenances), chapter 29 (Wear of Decorations, Service Medals, Badges, Unit Awards, and Appurtenances) of Army Regulation 670-1 (Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia), "Appurtenances are devices affixed to service or suspension ribbons, or worn in lieu of medals or ribbons. They are worn to denote an additional award, participation in a specific event, or some other distinguishing characteristic of an award. The following appurtenances are authorized for wear on decorations, medals, ribbons and other awards, when authorized by appropriate authority"

Paragraph f details the specifics of the Arrowhead. It is your freedom to call it an appurtenance, accoutrement, or device. Just understand exactly what those terms are used to describe. Ultimately, the article of the Arrowhead describes it as the Arrowhead device, in concert with the use of the term "device" in Awards and decorations of the United States military & United States military award devices. As such, the Arrowhead is, and shall remain, be described as a device, as is the consensus on the English Wikipedia. See also Army Regulation 600-8-22 (Military Awards).

Service devices

The Army is not the only awards manual and not the most up-to-date service awards manual. The DoD, Army, Navy (USMC), Air Force, and Coast Guard award manuals do not use name "award device" for the arrowhead device or mention that the arrowhead device is "awarded for":

DoD Manual Nov. 23, 2010, 1348.33 V3, P. 1 (2), P. 7: "Lists authorized service devises (arrowhead device) and appurtenances for DoD awards and decorations".—Preceding unsigned comment added by YahwehSaves (talk) 01:45, 14 July 2012‎ (UTC) [reply]

Actually AR 600–8–22 which is found here: [1] is more up to date than the manual you mention, it was last updated 15 September 2011. On page 93 they make reference to "award of the arrowhead device". Cheers. EricSerge (talk) 15:44, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
