I want to add “Pip", "Squeak" and "Wilfred” to my collection but I can only find this one on the website:

British War Medal - George V, 'Squeak' - United Kingdom – Numista

Perhaps you can research and add them to the Numista catalog yourself if they are not already listed in  Exonumia.  The Numista catolog is a work in progress after all.

I might add the other two campaign medals, but I don't want to do anything wrong on the website.
Somebody already has, as the medal I referred to before actually has a duplicate listing on the website: British War Medal 1914-1918 - United Kingdom – Numista. I don't know which category is correct of these two.

You really cant make a mistake, in theory anyway. A referee has to approve your request and if you happen to miscatagorize or duplicate anything, the referee won't approve it and should tell you why. They should also tell you where it belongs. Mistakes have and will happen as you pointed out in the rush to approve requests by overwhelmed referees but Numista is trying to correct that.

After looking closely, neither of them are listed properly in my opinion. They should be listed as Military medals under “Award Medals”.  You had to serve and be awarded this medal as an individual.  It is certainly not a "commemorative"nor a “miscellaneous” token or medal. Many new definitions and catagories have been added to the catalog because it was so vague in the past when these were origionally approved. Again, a work in progress.

You could have the honor of correcting,  entering, and properly placing your medal ( plus add the other 2 ) as the first Brit Military Medal entered in the Military Award calalog.

Thank you,

What about the old ones though? I didn't see an option to request they be deleted.

It is there but takes time to learn how to change anything . I therefore requested one be moved to “Military Awards” and one be deleted or moved to the same catagory . We will have to see what happens with each request. Both may end up there, but hopefully one will be moved and one deleted so we don't have the same redundancy in the same catagory. You can then edit it there if you choose to add or correct other information about it. I will post again here once I see the results from the ref in charge of this. It could take some time.

Ok, so the referee got to these quickly and they were both moved to the proper catagory. You can now edit / correct /  and make your arguments about whatever you choose to about them and add the other 2 military award medals you mentioned. As you can see, perhaps the ref felt they were not the same and both were deserving to be listed. Note the dates attributed to them among other differences. I will leave this up to you.
