alt obits guy

This one was more on me for not seeking out an opera thread. Do wish to say that though I may be new to the Deathlist, my online trail for obit postings goes back a good 18 years to Google Groups / deja news / usenet / whatever you want to call it. But, yes, must learn threads and continue to look in search engine to find most appropriate one for each obit. Got it.

Would seem to be a case of posting it in a relevant thread instead of in a more relevant thread. Had not previously come across the university presidents thread but will remember.

The litmus test is whether anyone else gets added to either the 'hits' list or the 'Strikeouts' list beforehand. Otherwise, do your best to remain patient and not think about it. Since Hulka took over the AO Deadpool, I've not noticed any discernible pattern in when hits are scored. I guess most frequently I've noticed he will do morning updates...sometimes wee hour of the morning updates (Eastern Time). I've not found a source better than the one you've listed here, but will refrain from saying anything else and let things play out. Best of luck.

The Taiwan Yahoo site has an obituary-like entry. Debatable as to whether it fits into the Western world definition of an obituary. Here is the original Chinese site link https://tw.news.yahoo.com/傅達仁瑞士安樂死-享壽85歲-230936888--nba.html Here is the translated-to-English version link https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-TW&u=https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E5%82%85%E9%81%94%E4%BB%81%E7%91%9E%E5%A3%AB%E5%AE%89%E6%A8%82%E6%AD%BB-%E4%BA%AB%E5%A3%BD85%E6%AD%B2-230936888--nba.html&prev=search

Already started looking today because I don't want to see anyone lose a hit due to lack of a proper source. Had it happen to me twice over the years. The BBC Chinese news site does have an article but it is focused on the euthanasia and not actually an obituary. Will post any link that I think could be accepted. I guess we can rule out the Focus Taiwan News Channel and Taipei Times obituaries.
