Daniel Carkner🥀 on Nostr: Strange, one of my biography articles for the Wikipedia Asian Month contest was ...
Strange, one of my biography articles for the Wikipedia Asian Month contest was rejected because I couldn't provide a source that said his death date was unknown. I think the person meant well, but to be honest many historical figures are quite prominent during some phase of their life and completely disappear from the public record beyond a certain year. Not only is it hard to find a death date, but also any meta statement that it's not known.🙇♂️
