Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Tracy Chapman, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! ... disco spinster   talk  17:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello Discospinster, I'd like to comment on this, The family does not want the death note to be public as it's private information. I do not have the cause or location of the death just word from a friend of the family of Tracy Chapman. I hope this makes you understand the situation a bit better.

 * Unfortunately there needs to be a reliable source in order to have this information on Wikipedia. ... disco spinster   talk  17:27, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, TracyChapmanWiki. I am also an admin here and someone who was slightly acquainted with Ms. Chapman many years ago. If this is true, I am so very sorry, for this loss to her family and the world. But as Discospinster says, as an encyclopedia we will need to have a published source in order to put this in her article. Ms. Chapman is a world-renowned artist, and her passing will be covered by the international media, so please understand that you saying that this is private is a confusing statement. If you would prefer to email one of us, you can do that through our user pages. We are not trying to be callous or insensitive here; we are simply the people who have to maintain the editorial policies. Best wishes, - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 22:40, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I don't believe the claims above at all. Graham 87 08:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This would be in the news, were it true. I have not received an e-mail. Ms. Chapman recently had to sue someone for copyvio/use of her music without permission; she won. I'm wondering if this could be related. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 21:32, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
