Stop undoing edits
You need to stop undoing edits on articles that include death. What you said is wrong. Every article has to have a cause of death and a long illness is a cause of death, and although some people die from a long illness, it doesn't happen to everyone. 82.19.40.217 (talk) 16:20, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * No, you need to stop edit warring. “Long illness” is NOT a cause of death. It would never appear on a death certificate and is not encyclopaedic language. We are not a tabloid newspaper. --Jkaharper (talk) 16:33, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I think you'll find that it's you that's edit warring, not me and your language and behaviour is unacceptable. A Long illness” IS a cause of death. What are you trying to do, remove every cause of death from a celebrity and pretend they didn't die from Cancer? because in my opinion, that's childish behaviour.82.19.40.217 (talk) 16:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Cancer is a cause of death. It's a specific illness/disease. "Illness", "disease", "sickness" etc. are not. Being ill is just the opposite of being healthy. I'm not being rude. You're being arrogant and unwilling to listen. Read WP:EUPHEMISM. It's the same reason why we don't put "died from natural causes". Again, "natural causes" is not a specific cause of death. It's a euphemism. Most people die of something natural, and it's the default assumption that they died from something natural unless otherwise stated. I'm not discussing this further. I'd invite you to read up on Wikipedia policy. If you continue to revert my edits though, I will have your IP address blocked. Happy New Year. --Jkaharper (talk) 16:43, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * And a long illness could be cancer, dementia, kidney disease anything like that, I think that's what you don't understand, you might not agree with me but that's what I think. Some people might choose not to put out cancer in death statements but some might not if it was a private battle with the illness. 82.19.40.217 (talk) 16:46, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello IP person with no name. My edit of your input was the first you reverted, and my edit actually explained what you did wrong to begin with. Your rationale for using "after a long illness" was wrong for another reason. You tried to make that reason a fact, when the tweet didn't even cite the reason for his death, therefore burden of proof is on you to supply backup source that confirms the cause. Until such info can be found, and from a reputable source, and preferably secondary type at that, the statement in the article will remain without a documented cause. -- Tytrox (talk) 16:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
