[edit]

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)[reply]

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?

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

KBE or CBE

[edit]

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)[reply]
