People Who Are Dead According To Wikipedia...

Margaret Stuart Barry's Wikipedia article has her dead since September:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Stuart_Barry

 

Edit: I see, someone of you changed it.

Two fallers from 1924:

Italian-born Norwegian painter and printmaker Gino Scarpa (wiki) supposedly died today, aged 98.
American inventor and clock designer Gordon Bradt (wiki) supposedly died yesterday, aged 98.

[Murdoc 18]

Bradt's page was changed back by someone just an hour ago

So are both of these still alive now?

Do I need to explain how Wikipedia works?

Both of these are now showing to be deceased. Scarpa apparently died in Oslo on the 4th December 2022 whilst clock designer Bradt timed out on 3rd December 2022 at the Circle of Life Hospice. Would these two have any chance of getting decent obits?

An old-ish one I just remembered. In 2019, an account with no other edits added a 2017 death date for Theodore Streleski (wiki), a Stanford University student who murdered one of his professors and served seven years in prison. He would've been 81 and is obviously pretty off-radar given the crime he committed. He was most recently living in San Francisco per familytreenow and other sites, but he doesn't have any kind of mylife page, lending credence to the idea that he might've died. Thoughts?

Ze'ev Iviansky (wiki), Israeli political scientist, reportedly dead at 99.

[Ulitzer95 11,021]

James Kinnier Wilson (wiki), British Assyriologist, reportedly dead at 101.

His father was the neurologist Samuel Kinnier Wilson, for whom "Wilson's disease" was named after.

Guardian obit at some point I imagine.

[drol 10,051]

Italian historian Mario Rosa (wiki) reportedly dead at 90.

[drol 10,051]

Jean Blondel (wiki), France most important politologist, reportedly dead at 93.

[drol 10,051]

French classical composer Alain Bernheim (wiki) reportedly dead at 91.

 

French are really sucking with obits.

[drol 10,051]

Obits for Bernheim and Blondel.

[Ulitzer95 11,021]

Martin Ravallion (wiki), prominent Australian economist, supposedly dead at 70.

EDIT: Obit.

[Ulitzer95 11,021]

Ronald E. Asher (wiki), linguist at the University of Edinburgh, supposedly died on 26 December, aged 96.

Gerald Moore (wiki), British literary scholar, supposedly died on 27 December, aged 98.

[Ulitzer95 11,021]

Mentioned on the forum before…

 

Sir Leonard Allinson (wiki), senior civil servant and diplomat, supposedly dead at 96.

 

Lots of TBC deaths piling up over NY.

I've checked his Wikipedia page, and there was no way that guy was competing in the heavyweight weight class. Even if he let himself go in later life, he was a super-middleweight at most!

I agree, I had some mathematicians in my theme team last year and he wasn't even close to my radar
