The TG articles for the actors signify them as KBE, however the corresponding Wikipedia articles signify them as CBE. What is the reason of the inconsistency? Sage 11:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

CBE = Commander of the British Empire. KBE = Knight Commander of the British Empire. OBE = Officer of the British Empire. They're ranks in the Order. Member, Officer, Commander, Knight/Dame Commander, Knight/Dame Grand Cross. The last two mean you're knighted. --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 13:16, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So when TG has Ian Holm as KBE and Wikipedia has Ian Holm as CBE, which is correct? Sage 13:46, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
