[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Ponyobons mots 22:03, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honorary KBEs do not use the title "Sir". See American citizens with honorary British knighthoods and damehoods.... discospinster talk 22:13, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My family and I have dual citizenships as of 2023; the honorary knighthood was converted by the order of Charles III in 2024 as recorded in the Official Gazette which is cited in the article. 87.252.38.14 (talk) 22:16, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you stating that you're the article subject? If so, you should not be editing the article directly let alone edit warring to restore disputed content. Please use the article talk page to discuss the changes you would like made. Also note that in addition to restoring the disputed content, you are also restoring template gibberish to the top of the page. -- Ponyobons mots 22:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I'm rather at a loss. The changes that have been made to the Article are not debatable; it is not a matter of opinion; the Official Gazette, cited in the notes, confirms this. I am not a Wikipedia editor--and confess my fecklessness---but I simply don't know how to deal with this. 87.252.38.14 (talk) 22:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How you deal with it is to refrain from adding inaccurate information. 22:29, 31 July 2024 (UTC) ... discospinster talk 22:29, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
May I ask why you think the published reference by the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood is "inaccurate"? How should one respond to you? What else can one point to as authority? 87.252.38.14 (talk) 22:32, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The statement above about my family's citizenship is in response to the question posed by Cagliost who has in the past repeatedly introduced erroneous information on this page with such a fixation that other editors simply gave up, out of exhaustion. 87.252.38.14 (talk) 22:30, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There may be an honorary knighthood, but it does not permit the recipient to use the title "Sir", as per the Gazette information I linked above. ... discospinster talk 22:23, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The honorary knighthood was made substantive--entitling the recipient and his spouse to use prenommials. 87.252.38.14 (talk) 22:33, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Use of pre-nominal styles and post-nominal initials
[edit]
An honorary award is one made to a person who is not a citizen of a Commonwealth realm. He or she cannot use the pre-nominal style of 'Sir' or 'Dame', but can use the post-nominal letters (after their names), subject to the prevailing conventions in his or her own country. If such a person later acquires citizenship of a Commonwealth realm, then any honorary awards usually become substantive, and in the case of knights and dames they can begin to use the pre-nominal styles. 87.252.38.14 (talk) 22:36, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
