Does anyone know if there's a way to specify Cressida Dick as House's superior/commanding officer as Assistant Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner in the infobox? In the same way as we'd name a Prime Minister or President served under as relevant contextual information for a Cabinet member's tenure (for example), it seems like it would be useful to be able to specify the Commissioner he was assistant and deputy to. – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 15:55, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
@ Amakuru: How've you reached the conclusion that "Steve House" is the common name here? Did you see my edit summary here? Nothing's changed since then; the overwhelming majority of sources still use "Stephen". – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 09:57, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this article is such a persistent target for unsourced claims about awards and honours, but as it seems to be so perhaps I should have begun a discussion here sooner. It's fairly clear to me that there's absolutely no situation in which unsourced claims about living people are acceptable in Wikipedia articles – that is, if for some reason this isn't obvious, " I saw it in a photo and therefore know it to be true, so sources aren't required" isn't an acceptable or coherent rationale. But perhaps there's something I've missed and Master Editor 10, AviationEnzo or someone else can enlighten me? – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 19:39, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
