Why hasn’t he been knighted

Why hasn’t Tony Radakin been knighted? When was the last time a First Sea Lord hadn’t been knighted? 82.10.169.168 15:29 26 April 2021

He was knighted in June 2021. Coldupnorth (talk) 21:42, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

In the interests of both brevity and consistency with numerous other UK military infoboxes, I don't think it is necessary to clutter the infobox by adding rank and awards at the top of the infobox when rank and awards already appear in (i) the lead of the article (ii) further down the infobox and (iii) in the main text of the article. Views welcome. Dormskirk (talk) 10:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The addition here is inconsistent and repetitive. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 10:29, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree also. A sensible, logical change. Coldupnorth (talk) 16:23, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dormskirk:, seen your work removing the aforementioned information. Not arguing the entire thing, but you're also removing honorific_prefix additions like The Honourable, which aren't usually elsewhere else in the article. Thoughts? Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 01:13, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that such prefixes are not included elsewhere in the article but MOS:PREFIX says we should not be including "the honourable" anyway. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 09:20, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Not sure the people who write MP articles got the message, then... Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 11:45, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they did. Keep up the good work! Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 11:51, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is WP:EDITCONSENSUS to not included ranks and awards in the |honorific_prefix=/|honorific_suffix= in military infoboxes: it isn't a written rule anywhere. Likewise, it is EDITCONSENSUS to include The Honourable/The Right Honourable/etc in the infobox and only the infobox, not in the lead or elsewhere in the article. The exact quote for MOS:PREFIX is In general, honorific prefixes and suffixes in Wikipedia's own voice should not be included. The exception to the rule, as accepted through EDITCONSENSUS, is to include them in infoboxes. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 12:05, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I am more concerned that we should not clutter the infobox by adding rank and awards. I really don't have a view on The Honourable/The Right Honourable/etc. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 12:28, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
