Charles Snead Houston
Welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you're trying to change Charles Houston's biography to say that he's died. I don't know if this is correct or not, but if it was, I'd expect to be able to find some reference to it somewhere else on the internet, and I can't. As Wikipedia has had problems with this sort of thing before, changes of this type should always be attributed to a reliable source, such as a newspaper or the news section of one of the bigger climbing websites, to ensure that we get it right. Please could you include a link to such a source if you want to reinsert the claim. See our policy on biographies of living people for more information. Of course, it may be that you know something which has not been publicly announced yet, but Wikipedia should not be the first place to announce a death because we have no way of distinguishing a genuine announcement from a person playing a sick joke (as happened with Ted Kennedy). Once it has been confirmed by reputable sources (and a figure of Mr Houston's stature would be sure to receive obituaries in major newspapers and on many websites) it can then be included in the Wikipedia entry.
