It was decided that the [[Bob]] article, and various other places in the CWCki, should refer to him as having died or as being dead - rather than pander around it by saying "passed away". Please refrain from undoing any edits which are contrary to this convention.

He's Dead, Jim.
It was decided that the Bob article, and various other places in the CWCki, should refer to him as having died or as being dead - rather than pander around it by saying "passed away". Please refrain from undoing any edits which are contrary to this convention. Thanks --Anonymax 14:27, 19 September 2011 (PDT)
