Talk:Ishmael Butler

Reginald Butler, Ishmael's father, has passed away.
I know this because my father was friends with him. Given that he was a historian, and not very well known as far as I know, I don't know what kind of source we can use for that information. I was just thinking that in the sentence "His father is a history professor at the University of Virginia," the "is" should be changed to "was." It's a little thing, I realize, but I don't have any experience with editing Wiki articles and I didn't want to jump the gun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brundlefly (talk • contribs) 23:23, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
