Life Begins at 5 o'clock 7 Posted March 7, 2006 Kirby Puckett dying so suddenly has completely shocked me. I didn't expect it at all. He was a really memorable player, and despite his recent troubles I think he was one of the really great sportsman. But, back to the business at hand, Wikipedia is reporting that WWE wrestler Bull Buchanan has died. (Former tag-team champion with the Goodfather.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest iain Posted March 8, 2006 Wikipedia is claiming that legendary Rastafari elder Mortimer Planno has died at age 76 but, since I can't verify this independently, I'm not posting a link. One to check up on though. What's really creepy is that I was planning on posting him up on my "People I Was Surprised To Find Were Still Alive Thread." How come no one I ever actually get around to picking carks it? I haven't had a DDP hit since Lou Rawls or any hit whatsoever since Al Lewis. I can cofirm that Mortimer Planno has indeed passed away..here is confirmation of his death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted March 8, 2006 philosopher Peter Klein is dead at 48 What happened to your promise to only post really famous deaths and from a proper news source? A proper confirmation of Planno's death can be found here and here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted March 8, 2006 In fact, Peter Klein's "death" has now been removed from Wikipedia, probably as he didn't die in the first place. FFS, Iain, don't you double check ANYTHING???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 8, 2006 A proper confirmation of Planno's death can be found here and here. Damnit. I'm better at this game in theory than in practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest iain Posted March 8, 2006 and what the feck is wrong with wikipedia as a proper news source anyway?i am sick and tired of you giving me a hard tim e over this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted March 8, 2006 err..... whatever... unlike you I don't want people dead all the time. If no-one famous has died, then don't post. I'd rather wait for 10 days for a posting in near misses to tell me of a relatively notable person then get a wiki link posting to someone who isn't notable, or in Peter Klein's case, not even dead! We keep giving you a hard time as you don't listen. 1) Wikipedia is unreliable. Look at all the fake deaths. 2) Wikipedia gets all its death reports from a news site. They've even added citation needed as back-up. 3) Most of us read Wiki Recent Deaths. You're like a bloody parrot repeating everything sometimes. You never seem to respond to any constructive criticism, you exergarrate people's conditions (ie Patrick Moore today), or do a search. That's about the sum of it from my point of view.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted March 9, 2006 Sad one this, young British stage actress Lou Gish has died aged 35, less than a year after her mother also died from cancer. Yes. Very sad. A beautiful actress. She was in Coupling, playing Jeff and Susan's boss Julia. Such a pity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewd_Squirrel 331 Posted March 9, 2006 But, back to the business at hand, Wikipedia is reporting that WWE wrestler Bull Buchanan has died. (Former tag-team champion with the Goodfather.)Do you have a link? 'cause I can't find anything on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you'll find that's another example of Wiki tampering, as Buchanan's article now lists him as alive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Buchanan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
