This list is not referenced[edit]

A reference... is there a better one?--Jimbo Wales (talk) 14:23, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that reference is for this year. It's confusing because the BBC has labelled the announcements made on December 30th 2000 as being "New Year Honours 2000", whereas other sources refer to those announcements as the "New Year Honours list 2001". For example, the BBC has Steve Redgrave's knighthood in their 2000 list here, whereas the Guardian has it on their 2001 page here. I'll keep digging. - Pointillist (talk) 16:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a BBC error. I've dropped them a note. - Pointillist (talk) 17:13, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, well, in an edit to the article, I removed someone based on the lack of a listing in the BBC article. Should I be reverted on that? I wouldn't want to deprive someone of recognition here. (The name was added by an anon, but probably we can assume it's a justifiably proud family member or whatnot.)--Jimbo Wales (talk) 21:13, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I came here too (via recent changes but I parked it for investigation). Afaics your revert was good despite the BBC source issue: (i) I couldn't find that name in conjunction with Northern Bank, and (ii) I couldn't find that name in any honours listing in the London Gazette anywhere between Dec 25th 1999 and Jan 11th 2000. I've left a note on the IP user's talk page anyway. - Pointillist (talk) 21:35, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've found the official listing in the London Gazette and added it to External links. I'm not convinced Wikipedia needs an article that is just a copy of an external list like this, though! - Pointillist (talk) 16:44, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pointillist - after reverting another unsourced edit, I'm tending to agree with you.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 20:32, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
