Talk:List of titles and honours of George VI

message: His entry on pages ccxxxvii-ccxxxviii of Burke's Peerage for 1949 mentions the following foreign decorations that can be added to the list in this article, but dates of award are lacking and a few need clarification:
*French Croix de Guerre (for service in which World War?)
*Order of El Rafidain of Hedjaz (was not Hedjaz one of the two Arab kingdoms that amalgamated into Saudi Arabia?)
*Hashemite Chain of Iraq
*Order of San Marino (sic - properly, Order of St Marinus of the Republic of San Marino)
*Norwegian Military Cross
*Greek Medal for Gallantry

thread_title:  Move discussion in progress 

message: While it is true that the name of the royal house and family was changed by way of royal proclamation, the following things are to be borne in mind:
# Only enemies of the United Kingdom who also bore British style and titles were deprived of such titles
# Only the name of the royal house and family was changed.
# Succession rights to the German ducal throne were conditionally renounced. Never completely.
# Titles were never renounced.
# The House of Windsor continues to be considered a branch of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha house, and upon Prince Charles’ accession will be part of the houses of SCG and Oldenburg.

text: I notice that all these titles were added and subsequently reverted again yesterday. GoodDay, as the reverting editor, I think it would be quite helpful if you could explain why these titles or the references supporting them are not acceptable. I personally couldn't care tuppence what George VI gets called, but if we're going to have a list, it may as well be accurate and complete, but obviously not contaminated with spurious titles if they're genuinely wrong. I understand that there is a risk here that the whole KosomPolskii incident and the IP's brief ban may cloud the issue, but the ban is finished now, the KosomPolskii account is marked as retired, so hopefully we can draw a line under the past, and move forward building some consensus on this.

text: He had those titles, but they were not used as given in the article. They were in addition to his other titles and were never used on their own. It would be better to add them as a paragraph of prose, like the amended paragraph on the head of Commonwealth so that they can be placed in context and explained.

replies: text:  Well, in India, at all occasions, he was King George VI, Emperor of India. I agree most were not used in isolation, which is why I put them as HM the King, XXX. The content you removed; I looked it up on Wikipedia itself, so I’ll attribute it I guess. Putting them in prose for all titles is a good idea, but having them in a column looks clean, and for people wanting to research, it would be better I feel. 59.92.227.87 (talk) 07:16, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

text:  We are not saying how they were used, simply what he had, and how they were styled. He was generally King, XXX. That’s how they were used. A prose, as you suggest, would be better at the end, after the columnar list. 59.92.227.87 (talk) 07:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: An FoI for what? What will it have to do with this article? A response to an FOI is sent to the person requesting it. It would need to be published in a reliable source for it to be used in Wikipedia. You uploading a copy would not be publication by a reliable source and could not be used.

thread_title:  Article content 

message: There were far too many superfluous and unnecessary notes that did not conform to usual WP practice. I’ve trimmed them down by taking out (a) unsourced (b) those that are better handled by wikilinks for the relevant information (c) inappropriate e.g. providing “captions” for the flag icons. DeCausa (talk) 22:45, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand. The only one I feel is needed is the one saying Georgy and his wife used the imperial title for longer; and it’s usage in Hindustani language to denote Crown property; whose use to denote lands has been deprecated by the republican government.

thread_title:  Superfluous notes 

message: The IP has removed most of the honours and military appointments from the article , saying that they were unsourced and unverifiable. If somebody has got time, could they please find sources and verify the removed content, and if verfiable, add back to the article with sources.  Peter Ormond 💬 06:32, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I got the time. I removed it, so I can thoroughly go through everything in peace and add them back. I am editing this article and George VI because he was the last Emperor of India and because I have a bet where I said I will make George VI the greatest article on Wikipedia ever. So I started with the honors article first. No worries. 59.92.227.87 (talk) 08:00, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mass removal of Content 

message: So I’m checking everything that used to be on this article and anything that wasn’t and isn’t but probably needs to be here. Meanwhile, I noticed there we’re big section devoted entirely to things like George VI is Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Army, Navy, Airforce, C-I-C of British same thing here, and noble orders of which he was the sovereign by virtue of being monarch.
Now, things like these are always attached to the Crown, and don’t look like they are as important as their title counterparts vested in the Crown. Should these be added back? Anyway they didn’t have a source when they were here.
Things like foreign honors are unique to each monarch, so these must be here. Just unique things or unique plus the usual things too?
