This Wikipedian is deceased. Respectful comments of remembrance may be left below.

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.
If I left you a message; please answer on the page where the message was left, using {{ping|Username}}, {{reply to|Username}} or {{u|Username}} in your response, or add {{talkback|Username}} or {{whisperback|Username}} to my talk page. If you leave me a message here, I will answer here on my talk page, notifying you in the same manner.

Obituary

There is an obituary for Twofingered Typist in The Picton Gazette. He will be missed. Cabayi (talk) 14:27, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is horrible news and a huge loss for the GOCE, and by extension, for the project as a whole. RIP. Vaticidalprophet 14:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awful news. Twofingered Typist was a talented copyeditor and always cheerfully willing to be helpful even on tough articles. He did a wonderful job on Arthur de Gobineau, which I thought was mostly a hopeless case. He will be missed. Ganesha811 (talk) 14:46, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A terrible shock. May he rest in peace. Miniapolis 15:24, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certain it's too late to write an obit for The Signpost. We're about 3 hours from deadline. But please feel free to organize a jointly written obit for a month from now. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 16:55, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Smallbones, what's the deadline for the next Signpost? Miniapolis 00:10, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh, what rotten news. My condolences to his family and friends, and all Wikipedians whose lives he touched. Thanks for posting, Cabayl. :( Best regards, Baffle☿gab 17:28, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The pages where I've seen Twofingered Typist in the edit history are well written and have that extra touch of care and passion that makes Wikipedia, well, Wikipedia. He will be missed greatly. Sennecaster (Chat) 18:14, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tributes and condolences

The WP:GOCE will be much the poorer for your absence, TT. Miniapolis 21:07, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 02:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RIP to one of GOCE's best editors. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:33, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How did he die? This all feels so very sudden. It was only a few months ago that we were discussing editing a page, and now he's gone. I will miss his insights and understanding feedback, although I have not had the privilege to know him as well as those close to him. He will be missed. Tyrone Madera (talk) 19:13, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What sad news to hear about. He was a prolific and fastidious member of the Guild of Copy Editors, and will be sorely missed. Tdslk (talk) 20:37, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rest in peace to a cornerstone of this community Draco phyllum 21:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Farewell to a real editor. jp×g 23:33, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I learned about this just now. He was by far a cornerstone of this community. I routinely looked to him for guidance on anything copyediting related and was always thrilled when he picked up a GOCE request of mine because I knew it would be top class. My condolences to all who knew him. This is a truly sad day for the project. Rest In Peace, Twofingered Typist. You will be greatly missed. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 02:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Damn. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. We will miss him greatly here. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 05:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rest in peace, Twofingered Typist. 4nn1l2 (talk) 09:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We have lost a real mainstay of the copy editing guild. Dhtwiki (talk) 11:22, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Twofingered Typist was the backbone of the guild of copy-editors. His copy-editing always amazed me. He helped me guide through my first GA and first FA. A huge, huge loss for the entire Wikipedia community. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 13:33, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
