Death date
Where did the death date of April 3 come from? MikaelaArsenault (talk) 11:28, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * It’s been removed. Now back to April 2020.  Wylie pedia  @ 15:34, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Anybody have any idea where 30 March comes from? It was introduced by User:Khaosjr []. What I find sources for is that she died the week before 8 April. This I guess could be any one of the days 30 March - 4 April if she did not die on a Sunday. I am not sure if Sunday 29 March or 5 April belongs to the week before 8 April. This unless I reads the expression wrong and the week before 8 April is 1 April - 7 April. Anybody found any more accurate sources? --regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 12:24, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hilary died on March 30th. There is no source for this as none of the press reported the date accurately. ---Asteuartw (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * If there is no source how do you know this? --regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 21:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Personal knowledge, but this cannot be used as a reference at Wikipedia. So, for now, the incorrect date of April 3 will have to stand. Verifiable inaccuracy beats unverifiable accuracy. -- Asteuartw (talk) 10:47, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It has now been given a source which is behind a paywall []. So the date claims to be sourced. If this source does not state date of death it should be removed and at least replaced with > or >. Personal knowledge is as you say not a reference at all. --regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 14:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Found a source, with date of death. Changed back to March 30th. Added source with qoute. It is a paper newspaper, but I have seen a copy of the newspaper page.--regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 20:17, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Nice one. It's good to see that at least one media source got it right, even if only in traditional print media. Well done for digging it out. --Asteuartw (talk) 19:26, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks to you for putting it back. I got reverted pretty quickly by someone. Do you have access to the obituary in The Times? I thought I would avail myself of their free month, but resisted the temptation when they wanted a credit card number for a free month. Can you confirm what they say precisely about date of death. If you can provide a quotation we will I suspect be able to set everybody to rest. Just for the record. I suspect more documentation may be needed so I'm just thinking a bit ahead. If you do get wind of a death announcement please tell me in which paper. In Norway people usually place small memorial ads in a newspaper announcing the death and the funeral. I just discovered an extremely useful press service with my local library, hence the paper reference. Or possibly find out which cemetery, they often have public records of burials where you can search. Since this is a corona death the burial will be delayed waiting for the daughter's quarantine to expire. The Economist said it was but not when it was planned. --regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 22:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I do have a copy of The Times Obituary, which is the only properly written obituary. Unfortunately it gives the wrong death date of April 3rd. ---Asteuartw (talk) 19:30, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

The Express source cannot be accessed unlike The Times source. It is much preferable for a source to actually be accessed because we have more visual reference as to what's on the cite. I cannot get behind Express being used due to this. So the march 30 date should be removed until a source that can be accessed online is found. Or if you are of a personal connection towards the deceased, contact The Times to reprot the error. Rusted AutoParts 18:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * you cannot in good faith call my edits edit warring. You asked for an explanation and I provided one. You continued reverting after that, so..... Anyway I wasn't aware of the discussion going on here. Rusted AutoParts  18:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I have located the Express citation on PressReader here. I'll put this into the article. Rusted AutoParts  18:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
