I find it intriguing that such a lengthy and well-source article about the death of a famous man contains no cause of death. Surely there would be a means of finding this out? - Richard Cavell (talk) 04:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I find it incredible that, now, the article describing his life is 45,512 bytes whereas this article, describing his death at 79,903 bytes is 75% larger. 83.70.243.22 (talk) 02:10, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
