Talk:2015 New Year Honours

Layout
The recipients of honours are displayed as they were styled before their new honour and arranged by the country (in order of precedence) whose ministers advised The Queen on the appointments, then by honour with grades i.e. Knight/Dame Grand Cross, Knight/Dame Commander etc. and then divisions i.e. Military, Civil and Honorary as appropriate.

As long as no one has any issues with it, I would like to have the following layout used for the list:
 * Sir Peter Ricketts

The example used above is fictional, Sir Peter Ricketts is only a GCMG. The KCB, KBE and CVO are for example purposes only. Citations should be added like so:
 * Sir Peter Ricketts - Add citation here.

If anyone has any other suggestions, please speak up. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 04:06, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Missing articles
I thought I'd have a go at turning the redlinks for the missing 1970s Birthday Honours into blue links (1974, 1975 and 1976 don't exist as yet), but my problem is that I'm not entirely sure how to make sense out of the London Gazette. Having looked at 1974, I found the following in :
 * various honours were awarded in relation to the 1974 Royal tour
 * James Joseph Warnell Little was the NZ rep in the Cook Islands (29 Jan)
 * Denis Blundell was Governor-General of New Zealand (7 Feb); he is followed by a long list of other New Zealanders
 * Michael Milnes Townsend (15 Feb) is the first Australian
 * Donald Luddington (21 Feb) is the first Hong Kong resident
 * We then seem to move onto Papua New Guinea (27 Feb)


 * We then have a bunch of British appointments (22 Mar)
 * This is followed by two New Zealand judges (1 May)

I'm not sure whether this needs to be recorded as part of the Birthday Honours, or whether it belongs somewhere else, or whether these are random appointments that don't get recorded anywhere other than on the pages of those individuals (if they have a page, that is). Any advice would be gratefully received.  Schwede 66  19:29, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The NZ part of 1974 is now done.  Schwede 66  02:16, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
