Condolences, Memorials
- ( Though I *am* a Star Trek fan, it just breaks my heart to know that a man who was such an important part of a seminal contribution to human culture is losing his faculties. :(
It is sad, but now that he's died, I'm sure he's in heaven. I just wish we had an internet article relating to his death, so we could add that.Bedford

- RIP, Scotty -- ya gave her all she got, boyo!!!! (anon)
The dates don't seem to add up. It says married he was married for 28 years. From 1974-2005 should be at least 30 or 31 years right?
Copyright violations?
The edit performed by Fdewaele at 16:50, 20 July 2005 seems to have at least a couple portions that are copied directly from the Associated Press article about Doohan's death.
Here's a link to that article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050720/ap_on_en_tv/obit_doohan
The relevant portions are the discussion of Doohan's experiences on D-Day, and the discussion of his family history. -- Colden46 19:18, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I noticed that too. Although people have subsequently tweaked the text, that doesn't fix the copyvio, since the current text is clearly based on the AP article. What is the right thing to do, delete it or add the copyvio marker? 128.2.203.136 20:59, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Modern picture
Should we also add a more recent picture of him? Bedford 16:01, 20 July 2005 (EST)
