Post-nominals
Hi, I'm JohnFromPinckney. You have twice added post-nominals ("MBE") to International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. If you would read the guidance at MOS:POSTNOM, you'd see that we do not add these honours in most mentions of individuals. Several paragraphs down, it says,, and of course, the IFPI article is not one of the excepted cases. Regards,&mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 09:35, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Having seen this edit of yours, I now realise I should have been clearer about the "MBE". It isn't only that we don't add the post-nominals when mentioning anyone who's received such honours, there's also no reason at all to mention somebody's MBE in an article about the IFPI. Your addition has been reverted, so don't worry about having to clean up there. Please just be aware, that we don't consider it appropriate to make mention of these things outside the individual's respective article. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 18:12, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi John, as the MBE was awarded to Frances Moore as the Chief Executive of the company IFPI for the work that she has done there for the music industry that the company represents, it does speak to the subject of the page and not just the subject mentioned. It also reads correctly chronologically when placed before the "John Kennedy OBE" mentioned in the sentence after. Also in case this helps here is a link to the title being gazetted, as I see a mention of this in the post-nominals instruction page that you mention. Could we therefore revert to her mention along with the company specific context that was added in in the previous version? Many thanks. 79.71.165.241 (talk) 09:13, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I missed your reply earlier (daaays ago). Well, I hadn't noticed Kennedy's OBE but have now removed it, as it was wrong, too. It's not explicity clear that Moore was honoured for her IFPI work exclusively, and still, even if she were, the mention on the IFPI article would be inappropriate. Where it belongs, is on her article, but, as I'm sure you know already, she doesn't have one. (Frances Moore is, well, somebody else.) The problem here isn't the verifiability (the gazette link would have been fine for that), but the fact that we don't mention honours when mentioning individuals (in passing, sort of) as in the IFPI article. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 11:36, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
