  • Hi Daniel Case, review follows: article created 13 October; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources, quotations are all properly attributed; hook is definitely interesting, is mentioned in the article and checks out to cited sources; I don't think ALT1 can be used as there is a consensus (which may be unwritten) against naming individuals without an article in the hook (though I am happy to be corrected on this); ALT0 is fine and the date request is appropriate; a QPQ has been carried out. On ALT0 I might suggest putting the "25 years ago today" at the front of the hook but happy to leave this decision to the promoter - Dumelow (talk) 07:26, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dementia

[edit]

If he died of Alzheimer’s 9 years later it seems like that could’ve been a factor in its early stages. Just a thought. 2600:387:4:814:0:0:0:55 (talk) 18:11, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That has been suggested, yes, I think, in the Boing Boing post, or at least in its comments. But as speculative as it was I didn't think it should go in the article without more mention elsewhere. Daniel Case (talk) 18:52, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
