- Motivation
Name of the "colonel-in-chief" (Colonel-in-Chief (Q17005425)) of a regiment (regiment (Q52371)), different from the commanding officer (commanding officer (Q11247470)) and also different from the "colonel of the regiment" (colonel of the regiment (Q2984216)), ceremonial position often related to the royal family used in several countries.

Comment Are there non-profit organizations or universities that give similar ceremonial positions to members of the royal family? If so, should we give this property a more general title, like "honorary head"? --Arctic.gnome (talk) 16:01, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- No this is not precise enough for this use as regiments have other "honorary heads" such as the "colonel of the regiment" and the "honorary colonel". That being said, I'm not saying "honorary head" couldn't be a useful property for other use. Amqui (talk) 18:38, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- It seems that this could be modelled with a generic "honorary head" property qualified with position held (P39). Thryduulf (talk) 01:16, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
