There's a discrepancy in the references about the death date. One reports Friday March 31 and the other Thursday March 30. I've removed the day of the month until this gets resolved. - Mlpearc ( open channel) 17:29, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
The one source, which was an early preliminary report, says Thursday, which was March 30, but the later report, which specifically mentions the date, says March 31. 68.47.65.239 ( talk) 15:20, 7 April 2017 (UTC) Just read the source better, and it says the medical examiner's office said he died on March 31. 68.47.65.239 ( talk) 15:24, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
The reports of him dying on Thursday were done at an earlier date and were preliminary. The source noting his cause of death specifically says he died on March 31. Legacy.com, a website which partners with newspapers and funeral homes to records of obituaries, [1] also claims Friday March 31, 2017 as well. [2] 68.47.65.239 ( talk) 22:01, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
I see that Google has featured Gilbert Baker as a Doodle for 2017-06-02. I think we should semi-protect the page temporarily in light of the heightened publicity. Quanticle ( talk) 04:31, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
In the Flag section, the lead sentence of the third paragraph ends "when they became more widely." More widely what? Known? Available? Something else I haven't thought of? Neither citation has the phrase 'more widely' in it.

Hello, I have created an Irish (Gaeilge [ga]) version of the biography for Gilbert Baker but cannot add a link to this in the Languages sidebar due to semi-protection. Is there a way we can add this? talk -- Réaltaeolais ( talk) 16:30, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
