I have no way of verifying the truth of this report. Eric Corbett 19:46, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
I regret to say that it's true. Rest well, buddy, and my best wishes go out to your family and everyone close to you. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:49, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
Incredibly sad news. Condolences to his family and those who knew him. The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:47, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

that our last conversations were so much unlike our first ones. You and I worked together on a case a long time ago which seemed unwinnable, and we prevailed, for the best of the project. I learned a lot from that, and felt like I knew you a bit. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't--we certainly drifted apart, one way or another, and in one or two fairly crucial cases we did not agree, and I always wished I could have seen eye to eye with you, physically, in the real world, and maybe that would have changed things. You always had a real dedication to this beautiful project of ours, more sincere than many of us, which is probably why you got in real trouble here because you were so dedicated, and sheesh you are too fucking young to be gone. They should take some of us old people, the ones who think they're always right and are sometimes too set in their ways. And who are old and expendable. There's a lot of folks who loved you, Kevin, and I'm , well, I'm sort of out of words. You are one of my oldest friends and colleagues on Wikipedia, I mean you were, and it won't be the same without you, tall skinny young person with your funky hairdo. Why do we say the things that matter only when it's too late? sorry yall--NOTSOZCIALNETWORK i know. Drmies ( talk) 00:56, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
After hearing the awful news above, I was re-reading Kevin's user page, and I noticed his words on missing women philosopher articles. Would in some way, when the time is right, continuing the work he started there be an appropriate way to pay tribute? There may be other ideas (the Facebook page mentioned donations to the National Organization for Rare Disorders), but I am throwing this idea out there. Carcharoth ( talk) 06:34, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
Kevin cared very much about working with, and reaching out to, student editors. It occurs to me that the Wikipedia Ambassador Barnstar is intended for just that kind of activity, by campus and online ambassadors. I'd like to propose that we rename it the "Kevin Gorman Ambassador Barnstar". Is there support for doing this? -- Tryptofish ( talk) 20:07, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm nearly speechless having learned of your death today, Kevin. My impression of you through our public interactions here as well as through email showed me you were an honorable man who believed in doing right – in spite of it not always being popular – simply because it was the right thing to do. I will always remember you in the best of terms and those who treated you horribly or didn't step in to defend you (when you were no longer going to be an admin) in the lowest of terms. You deserved much better treatment and respect. To echo the sentiments of others already commenting here, you left us too soon my friend – way too soon. May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back; may the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields; until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. Rest in peace and with the angels, Kevin Gorman. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:05, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
We posted something to honor Kevin on the Feminist Philosophers blog here. If anyone would like to comment or add or even correct inaccuracies, please do. Also, if you know people who were close to Kevin, maybe they would like to know about the post? Madva ( talk) 01:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
From the facebook page:
I think a fitting tribute to Kevin would be to register as an organ donor. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 09:43, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
One of the last things Kevin said to me in an email exchange, January 6, 2016..."I think people often underestimate the amount of healing that family members and loved ones of those who undergo serious medical and other crises have to do even when their physical bodies were not the physical bodies directly affected." His words spoke volumes to me about his sensitivity toward others. He will be missed. Atsme 📞 📧 06:33, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
My name is Sierra and I was a very close friend of Kevin's who is organizing the memorial. If anyone feels moved to donate to his memorial fund, which will be used to support his memorial and beyond that his preferred charities, you may do so here: https://www.youcaring.com/kevingormanfund. If you would like to attend the event, please see his memorial page https://www.facebook.com/bombus.memoriam/ for event details. If you wish to attend virtually, check back regularly because details for webcasting the event are still TBD. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.194.86 ( talk • contribs) 05:30, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks to Rhododendrites, who designed it. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 21:41, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
It breaks my heart that I am not able to post condolences to his talk page. I wanted to say so much about what he did for people behind the scenes, how he kept this forum moderated and open for discussion after arbcom closed down the gender gap project, and how when he talked, the ideas rushed out of him as if he knew how little time he had, and could overcome mortality itself in order to accomplish them, but in the end, there are no words, there are no words. —Neotarf July 30, 2016.
Proxy edit per IAR. Carrite ( talk) 19:02, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
A few people mentioned continuing Kevin's work on women philosophers. It's too late to submit a session to the upcoming Wikiconference in San Diego, but for those involved/attending, would there be some time to set aside for a short edit-a-thon? Or perhaps it's something to bring up at the Unconference, or something that runs through the weekend? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:24, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
It's probably unimportant, but the link to [[California Assemblyman's Bill 1535 (Improved Naloxone Access)]] should now show California Assembly Bill 1535 (2014) instead, or in addition to, the red link. Mathglot ( talk) 00:10, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Amy Allen (philosopher) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.apaonlinecsw.org/home/woman_philosopher/amyallennovember2013. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. DGG ( talk ) 05:58, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
I don't think we've ever interacted before, but I want to say thanks for your contributions and my deepest condolences and sympathies go out to your friends and family. Rest in Peace. Lord Sjones23 ( talk – contributions) 08:58, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
