Death

Hi Jamiri, No worries, I understand your revert. I just wanted to let you know that William Ellison was a contributor to Wikipedia and it is another contributor who was informed of his death. The news was reported on fr:Wikipédia:Le_Bistro/19_mars_2022#Triste_nouvelle. It is of course not a source for the article, but at least you know where the news comes from.

Hi SenseiAC, what discouraged you from adding this link to the edit summary or presenting it in the discussion prior to your edit? --Jamiri (talk) 05:33, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jamiri: I could have. Would it have changed anything to your revert? I doubt it. SenseiAC (talk) 14:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SenseiAC: According to WP:V you must have: ″The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material.″ At least, it would have made your edit reasonable. ″RIP″ is far away from that. --Jamiri (talk) 19:02, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, I understand your revert and I am not contesting it, so please keep cool. I know well the rules, don't worry. SenseiAC (talk) 19:25, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am cool. Simply follow the rules if you know them. A hint to the note in frWP in the present arcticle discussion may have caused the provision of more reliable sources by other authors. And by the way: Yes, it would have changed something in my decision to revert.--Jamiri (talk) 20:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
