Barrow Hills School is not in Weybridge, it is in Witley, near Godalming Paul Crisell (talk) 19:50, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct. According to Barrow Hills School website, the school was originally based near Weybridge but moved to Witley in 1952 long before Nolan attended. Unfortunately, the citation used is from The Nolan Variations book which describes the school as being in Weybridge and I do not have another citation for Nolan attending this school. I will leave it up to others to decide if it's OK to edit based on this. Musetaker (talk) 10:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Nolan has US, UK and Irish citizenship. The article is missing the Irish one but he himself confirmed he has it in a Q&A promoting Oppenheimer available under [1] at 7 minutes 10 seconds.
Please edit the last line in the first paragraph under „Early life“. 109.42.240.119 (talk) 23:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I went to 7:10 in the linked video and did not hear him mention this. Can you confirm the timestamp? Pdubs.94 (talk) 02:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: Lack of reply from IP means this edit request is procedurally declined. For what it's worth, clicking the same link shows me various videos all of which could conceivably be construed to be a Q&A, so I don't even know which video the timestamp applies to. —Sirdog(talk) 05:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added this comment to the talk page: "See: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sB-JhaVzZ7I at timestamp 1m 32s, Cillian Murphy mentions that Christopher Nolan has an Irish passport."

Hello! I suggest, or submit, that the references to the subject as "Sir" Christopher Nolan be emended, as the only sources cited as evidence of this apparent knighthood speak in the future tense, and therefore as having not actually been bestowed (as of time of submission). Ie, 'set to be given a knighthood', not actually given yet. 2406:2D40:40C7:3010:3181:1660:DD3C:F6D2 (talk) 07:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per Debrett's, "An honour may be used from the moment it has been announced in the Press. There is no need to wait until the recipient has received the accolade or been invested." (https://debretts.com/peerage/the-knightage/) He is Sir Christopher and his wife is Dame Emma as of the announcement - no need to wait for their investiture ceremony.

As of 5th June 2024 the supplement to the London Gazette announcing the 2024 Birthday Honours has not been published, therefore you are premature in making him a Knight. The case of Joyce Grenfell, who died before her Damehood could be gazetted, and thus is not a Dame, shows the requirement for the announcement to appear in the London Gazette for it to be official.
