April 23[edit]

update Covid-19 Wiki subcategory[edit]

Why is the page

COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country

not updated anymore as of 16 April 2021?

Actually, that article itself has not been updated since 7 April (look at the edit history). The article pulls the table from a template, see Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country. That template has now been updated as of yesterday. --Viennese Waltz 06:58, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) The page which needs updating is Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country. The usual editor has left instructions at Template talk:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country#Python Helper so anyone with even a little python programming experience can do so. I just updated it, apart from the instructions I had to install some of the import libraries.-gadfium 07:03, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is John wick?[edit]

Like is he white or Asian? Also what kind of asian specifically? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 102.65.80.192 (talk • contribs)

The John Wick series was created for the screen, and was not based on a written work. If the films themselves do not directly address the racial background of the character, then your question has no answer. If you're asking about the actor who has portrayed John Wick to this point, Keanu Reeves, you can read that article to learn more about his particular ethnic background. According to the usual (somewhat arbitrary) U.S. racial definitions, he's of mixed racial background, with White European, Asian (specifically Chinese) and Pacific Islander (specifically Native Hawaiian) ancestry. However, that means little with regards to the character in question, the character's ethnic or racial background only exists if it has been addressed by the writers of the work of fiction directly. --Jayron 32 11:23, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The character is Belarusian. The actor (Keanu Reeves) has Native Hawaiian, Chinese, English, Irish and Portuguese ancestry.--Khajidha (talk) 11:26, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was just about to add John Wick (character) is also an article that may help the OP read more about the in-universe biography of the character. Also, Reeves has Canadian citizenship and was born in Lebanon; so he can claim connection to those places as well. --Jayron 32 11:28, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
