Tense changes necessary?

Fairman died on Wednesday. I glanced through the article and didn't find any places where a present tense needed to be changed to a past tense (saying things like "Fairman discusses such-and-such in the book" should remain in the present tense even after the author's death), but it couldn't hurt for someone else to look over the article. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:29, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A sad and tragic bit of news. Thanks, Angr, for updating us about this. — Cirt (talk) 22:14, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I looked through the article, and all the tenses are appropriate. — Cirt (talk) 22:15, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. He was my American History teacher in high school. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 08:55, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I'm sorry for your loss, Angr. — Cirt (talk) 17:48, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
