Thanks for your edit to this article, but please remember always to include a source for anything you add to the encyclopedia, especially for anything about a living or recently dead person, and most especially for sensitive information like a death. I removed your unsourced edit (standard practice for unsourced content on living or recently dead people), but then found a source (though I don't think the death date is clear), and replaced the information about his death, but formatted the information in the standard way.

Hello, I'm PamD. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on John Quenby, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Do not add unsourced information. The source implies that he died recently so that "August" seems justified, but it does not say that he died on 31 August, only that Motorsport UK published the statement that day.
