Discrepancy Regarding Medals

I wish to bring to notice the fact that there is a huge discrepancy with regards to the ribbons worn by this three-star officer. For starters, I have seen him wear the Siachen Service Ribbon in photos, whereas he is not wearing one in the photo used on the page. In addition to this, I fail to understand how someone can wear the Siachen Glacier Service ribbon without the 'High Altitude Service' ribbon. Apart from this, I do believe that Operation Vijay Star and the Special Service Medal should be added to the page. Let's wait for some more photos of this officer to emerge. Maybe we can clearly see what ribbons he is wearing. FlyingBlueDream (talk) 18:42, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@FlyingBlueDream: the medals I added were based on this image from July 2016. And I agree that we need more recent photos to see what ribbons he is wearing. I'll place a note of source photo in the medals section. Thanks —Sarvatra (talk) 07:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Let's go by the ribbons he has in the officially release photo used by Sarvatra. In case other official photos are released then we can update them. We cannot really go by what someone has seen him wear or why does not have a ribbon based on another ribbon per WP:OR. Adamgerber80 (talk) 21:44, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
