Potential obituary
It's a bit late, but could we run an obituary for Hanif Al Husaini? He died on May 27, but this was not reflected on the site until yesterday. I think we should run an obituary for him. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:50, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @QuicoleJR I probably wouldn't be able to write it myself, but it's definitely a good idea. Oltrepier (talk) 07:12, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe we could just use an expanded version of the one at WP:RIP? QuicoleJR (talk) 13:18, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @QuicoleJR Sure! You can go for it yourself, if you'd like to. Oltrepier (talk) 13:20, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I started the subpage. It should hopefully not be too hard to write. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:22, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've made a start on the prose for the obituary, but I'm not sure what we should do for the blurb or the image. I can't find the blurbs of the previous obituaries to figure out what the precedent is, and the only image of him I know of is in a memorial post on Facebook, which may not be usable under copyright law. Other than that, the obituary is almost done. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:54, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @QuicoleJR We had one for Vami's obituary, but I don't think it's imperative to have a proper picture, to be honest... We could always fix it later. Oltrepier (talk) 14:02, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok. What about the blurb/subheader? I don't think it can be published without one. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @QuicoleJR I've just inserted one myself, but it's not a big deal, either. Oltrepier (talk) 14:34, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It isn't? Huh, I figured it was since it is one of the first things on the schedule. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:38, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

 * @Sm8900 I don't think it's a good idea to recommend dispersing the debate over yet one more venue, and one that is not even onwiki. Darwin   Ahoy!  17:24, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @DarwIn, actually large parts of the debate already occur off-wiki, via many highly active groups on telegram, which have an official status. Sm8900 (talk) 17:31, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Normandy
I don't claim to be an expert on military history, but I see some potential errors in the description of the invasion of Normandy. If this is important enough to go over, let me know, otherwise I'm probably not going to invest more time in it. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
