Jaknouse

[edit]

User:Jaknouse passed away in 2021. There is an obituary here. gnu57 06:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I've tagged the account and requested a global lock from the Stewards at Meta-Wiki. WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:21, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have written [[a quick obituary, as I recognised his username from early page histories. Graham87 (talk) 08:42, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

[edit]

In April 2020, at the start of COVID, I wrote a script to recorded on a weekly basis the count of {{deceased}} - based on the theory there would be a noticeable blip due to the pandemic. I never did anything with the data but it continues to run. It looks like:

2020-04-03 309
2020-04-10 310
2020-04-17 311
2020-04-24 312
...
2024-07-12 627
2024-07-19 629
2024-07-26 631

My initial theory was complicated by the fact the template could be added years after death. If anyone would like this data for whatever reason, let me know and I'll send you a copy. -- GreenC 03:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prominent Slackware community figure, passed away at the age of 62 in February 2024. Seems like he had a small but old presence in Wikipedia.

@Fluddsskark, thanks for adding the usual template to his user page. Have you also asked the Stewards to globally lock the account? You can do that at m:Steward requests/Global#Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have asked them lock it now. I am waiting for the request to be added Fluddsskark (talk) 10:11, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
