Talk:Simon Winchester

Still OBE?
Is it still appropriate to refer to Winchester as OBE, now that he is an American citizen? I believe he renounced the award as a condition of citizenship, but I am not sure. —  crism ( talk )  14:55, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * On the rear flap of the dustjacket of The Men Who United the States there is a statement about his OBE, so yes, I would think it is still appropriate. ("In 2006 Mr. Winchester was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty the Queen.") Non-citizens may use the post-nominal abbreviations. —Diiscool (talk) 18:21, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
