How do I add this? edit

|-   || Panglima Gagah Angkatan Tentera || 2015 (Malaysia, honorary) |-

No need to do so. It is an honorary award, which is not permitted to be worn on his medal bar. Richard Harvey (talk) 22:51, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Full name edit

According to the UK Parliament website ([1]), his full name is John Ian Nicholas Reynolds Houghton, but many other sources say that that is John Nicholas Reynolds Houghton (no Ian):

The Right Honourable edit

As a baron, he has the honorific The Right Honourable. The place for this is the |honorific_prefix= in the infobox. Could Dormskirk explain why he removed it with the summary "not needed"? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I agree that he has the right to use it. I was merely trying to maintain a degree of standardisation across military infoboxes. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 12:06, 6 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
