Knighthood[edit]

Maurice Scott seems to have been a Knight Bachelor, not a KBE, according to The London Gazette. Aridd (talk) 17:36, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aridd: Can't access the original source, but this may be an error by me, as I thought KBE was Knight Bachelor. There doesn't seem to be an initialism for it, so I've removed it. Cheers, Number 5 7 18:13, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: Thanks. The link is working OK for me, so maybe you'll be able to access it later. "KBE" is "Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire". By the way, as you were the creator of this article on Maurice Scott in English (thanks!): I've created its equivalent in French with a bit more detail on some points. I've also recently written various articles in the French Wikipedia about Fijian politicians, some of whom don't currently have an article in the English Wikipedia. Most notably Ronald Kermode, but also for example the Toganivalu brothers: William, Josua and David. I mention this in case you'd like to use them as a starting point to create articles in the English Wikipedia! Aridd (talk) 18:28, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aridd: Sorry, I meant the Who's who source, which is where I got the fact that he was knighted from. And thanks for notification about the French articles – I may well take you up on the offer :) Cheers, Number 5 7 19:36, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
