It has been linked on and off in this page's history—the wikilink was removed in October after having been added in 2018. I couldn't find any significant period of time that it was unlinked since the wikilink was introduced. If we could use the articles of other of British sirs, Elton John and Paul McCartney both have it linked and piped to Knight Bachelor. From what I can tell, Attenborough received the Knight Bachelor award in 1985, so perhaps we should also add a wikilink to the infobox on this article.

Just a thought or a reminder that while our planet is warming is there a possibility that we ( the human race) can refreeze our Glacier’s by using the 3” black balls that are currently being use in California re; Los Angeles drinking water to block out the sunlight , in Los Angeles there used to stop bacteria and the photosynthesis process but by introducing the same balls to the melting streams, rivers and lakes we can refreeze the fresh water before it reaches our oceans, slowing the process of global warming, I’m not a smart man , I’m 60 yr old with cancer but if this idea can work, then we owe it to ourselves to try , if it dose work then it’s my foot print in this world I call home Kvn999 (talk) 23:33, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

In the main article that I just read someone stated that Sir David Attenborough is considered a National Treasure in the UK.
I'd like to revise that statement because it's incorrect.
I'm sure that there are millions of people that would agree with me when I state that Sir David Attenborough is a WORLD Treasure, not just a National Treasure.
He is known by many & loved by all!!!
Mr. Attenborough the occupants of this planet thank you for your decades of service to the conservation of ALL life on this planet that we call HOME! IamJoeLynn (talk) 16:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
There are reliable sources calling him a "National Treasure", do you have a couple reliable sources calling him a "World Treasure"? Just for the record I agree with you, but we don't post opinions in an article. - FlightTime (open channel)16:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
