 * You will find me in Who's Who under entry Richard Michael White. First entry in 2000. Is that sufficient verification? Compostellan (talk) 06:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi. Who's Who is not a reliable source; see this discussion. Please also see write the article first, for an essay on not adding people to lists if they do not already have an article. See also the conflict of interest guidance - editors should not normally add information about themselves. Tacyarg (talk) 07:11, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * So be it. Almost all the information in my Who's Who entry can be verified through separate online sources...MBE New Year Honours list 1983, FCO appointments by various Directories including Diplomatic Service and other lists and by Hansard in period 1997/2000 in my role as Head of FCO Migration and Visa Division.I was surprised to see Cherie Lunghi included as a pupil at Richmond Grammar School  a boys only school at the time. But if them's the rules I give up! Compostellan (talk) 10:25, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll have a look at Cherie Lunghi. Tacyarg (talk) 10:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
