Semi-protected edit request on 29 March 2024
Hello! I suggest, or submit, that the references to the subject as "Sir" Christopher Nolan be emended, as the only sources cited as evidence of this apparent knighthood speak in the future tense, and therefore as having not actually been bestowed (as of time of submission). Ie, 'set to be given a knighthood', not actually given yet. 2406:2D40:40C7:3010:3181:1660:DD3C:F6D2 (talk) 07:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Per Debrett's, "An honour may be used from the moment it has been announced in the Press. There is no need to wait until the recipient has received the accolade or been invested." (https://debretts.com/peerage/the-knightage/) He is Sir Christopher and his wife is Dame Emma as of the announcement - no need to wait for their investiture ceremony.

As of 5th June 2024 the supplement to the London Gazette announcing the 2024 Birthday Honours has not been published, therefore you are premature in making him a Knight. The case of Joyce Grenfell, who died before her Damehood could be gazetted, and thus is not a Dame, shows the requirement for the announcement to appear in the London Gazette for it to be official.

Why is he addressed sir?
I’m a bit confused. Are we in some XIX century England here in Wikipedia? 45.93.75.81 (talk) 21:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Knighthoods for those British citizens who've contributed to society are often bestowed. He's obviously not lancing atop a horse in a joust, it's modern-day honorary titles. BarntToust 13:08, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
KBE or CBE
If Nolan was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) as stated in the profile, then he is not entitled To “Sir” as a forename. If he is in fact entitled to “Sir” as a forename, then he must be at least a KBE (Knight Commander of Most Excellent Order…). So which is it? 173.47.140.211 (talk) 10:40, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- The article says in the lead now as it did back when you wrote this [1] that he received a CBE in 2019 and a knighthood in 2024. It clarifies in the body that this was a knight bachelor. The infobox call him a CBE and Sir. It doesn't mention the knight bachelor per se, I assume because it has no post nominal letters associated with it. Nil Einne (talk) 11:36, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- BTW the Knight Bachelor says that it is very common nowadays for people to be CBE, OBE and MBE but entitled to sir due to also being made a knight bachelor. Nil Einne (talk) 11:41, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
controversy
Dear Wikipedia Moderators,
I am writing to raise a concern regarding the repeated removal of important content from an article by user Trailblazer101. This user has consistently edited the article in a manner that appears biased and unprofessional, deliberately excluding information that provides a balanced view of the topic. Wikipedia is meant to provide unbiased and comprehensive information, and users have the right to access all sides of a story.
I kindly request that you review the situation and ensure the content remains neutral and reflects all relevant perspectives. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.186.43.115 (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- This addition has been undone by several different editors, which indicates that you do not have consensus for inclusion of this material. Please discuss the content on this talk page and reach a consensus for inclusion before reinserting. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 18:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I do support this content, we should wait for more support, so far 2 moderator has deleted, if we see more support, it should be added back Kevindough (talk) 19:06, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think any intentionally disruptive material is worth legitimately considering, and I question the legitimacy of this new account that was just created today for being a potential puppet. Our site has clear WP:BLP policies. If you can't follow them, maybe this is not for you. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:11, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I question defensive approach of specifically user Trailblazer101. why he is attacking anyone? is this allowed?, is there any personal interest? reporting should be non bias, if there are article published by reputed news paper it should have a chance Kevindough (talk) 21:33, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not "attacking" anyone. You were told the sources you provided are not reliable sources, and per Wikipedia's policy on WP:Biographies of living persons, controversial and defaming information should not be included whatsoever if it is not reliably verifiable. Also, what you are insisting on adding is not even directly pertaining to Nolan, but rather one of his films. It has no place here, plain and simple. Also, creating an account to bypass an IP block is not allowed. Wikipedia has policies, I encourage you read up on them at WP:SOURCE. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- personally you are attacking me with fake info, It is illegal to attack someone with disinformation. my point is simple here you have issue with reference (which is totally legit and follows Wikipedia guideline)
- fololowing is rule from WP:SOURCE.
- Newspaper and magazine blogs
- Shortcut
- WP:NEWSBLOG
- Some newspapers, magazines, and other news organizations host online pages, columns or rolling text they call blogs. These may be acceptable sources if the writers are professionals
- How come this kind of bias accounts are allowed to monetized other user, there should be certain process. Kevindough (talk) 21:53, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Nothing about the Indian/Hindu text has anything to do with Nolan himself, and random internet led drama has no merit for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Just because a source talks about it does not meant it is notable. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:02, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- That is your opinion, you should watch movie to verify what are you defending. specially watch scene which is controversial
- here is my problem - if you disagree with someone, you can not attack, you need to find solution.
- wikipedia is about providing unbiased info, if I or you disagree, and more people agrees with me - it should be allowed Kevindough (talk) 22:28, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- That is not how Wikipedia works. It is built upon WP:Consensus, not voting or how many people can agree with someone. You have been reverted by myself and countless other editors, so clearly you do not have support for what you want added. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:52, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- @admin can you please explain @Trailblazer101 that he is making false allegations, can something be done about this Kevindough (talk) 23:00, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- So, to prove you aren't violating your ban by making an alt account, you made multiple alt accounts to edit war.... have I got that right? Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:59, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- If there was something reasonable to discuss, you wouldn't have needed to create so many accounts to try and force the text into the article. The fact you did so indicates to me there's no point discussing this further. If in the future some other editor who is willing to follow the basics of editing here like discussing when there is dispute and not creating more accounts wishes to include similar text, we can discuss it then.
