I am sad to report that Ronhjones passed away on the day he made his last edit, as confirmed by a friend of his I contacted on Facebook, who confirmed that the Wikipedian and their friend were the same person. I can't find any online obituaries but there's his Facebook profile and this edit of his ... tying these together are LinkedIn and this Researchgate link, plus the information he posted on his userpage. I'm trying to contact his family.
I myself didn't know him very well, but I knew about his work in anti-vandalism and on non-free images. RIP. Graham 87 13:39, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
I've gotten in contact with his niece, who told me she very much appreciates the tributes here. Graham 87 11:32, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
I have some even sadder news that I can now share publicly: Ron and his wife Sue died together in a house fire, as noted in their obituary from the London Inland Waterways Association newsletter. The friend of theirs who confirmed his passing also told me this info, but I didn't want to say it here without confirming that it was publicly available or getting permission.

Thank you for quality articles such as Chirk Tunnel, National Theatre, Warsaw and Karl-Heinz Schröter, for templates such as Oxford Canal Route Map, for work on the list of canal aqueducts in the United Kingdom, for the sense of humour in your infobox, - Ron, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2390 of Precious, a prize of QAI. We miss you, and Sue. I wish I had met you sooner. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:39, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Due to Ron's high edit count, it was impossible to use XTools Edit Counter to get a full picture of his edit count statistics, so I asked MusikAnimal, one of the maintainers of the tool, to create one manually for me. For anyone else who's curious, the output is at User:MusikAnimal/Ronhjones. Graham 87 03:04, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

One of the userboxes he has put on this page states his current age as if he was still alive. Should this be changed to include the end dates as "year = 2019 and month=04" as what a late famous person's BLP would look like, say "{{death date and age|2019|4|7|1950|5|4|df=y}}" for example. Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 23:27, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Iggy the Swan and Graham87: I agree. I also believe we should leave his userpage as it is, out of respect. But maybe we can add "Ron died in April 2019 at blah blah age" under deceased template? —usernamekiran (talk) 13:51, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
With a heavy heart I've just nominated an article Ron created, UK Chemical Reaction Hazards Forum, for deletion; the nomination is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UK Chemical Reaction Hazards Forum. It feels insulting to place a normal deletion warning template here under the circumstances, but I think the nomination is worth mentioning here anyway. Graham 87 13:20, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ronhjones, how are you? Me I'm fine!
I opened this page about an ancient tradition in my region Lombardy. Please, I ask you some minutes, to correct my mistakes, it will be a great joy for me. Thanks a lot and have a nice week end.

It seems you locked the article Grudge Match in 2015. Does it really need to be locked indefinitely? -- 109.79.177.136 ( talk) 22:55, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
I edited the Tony Ferguson page. Do I not have the permissions to do so after some 11 years of editing? With respect, this pi$$es me off (pardon my French). I have been reluctant to edit here for some years now, PURELY because of some (not saying you) Admins having ridiculous power trips. Any chance I could be granted whatever blessings, powers, and/or petmissions the Pope (or whoever) require so I may edit articles without being hassled and going through the extra trouble of a jury trial? 🤪. I'm retired now, and was hoping to do a lot of contributing in coming years, but I won't if I have to refight the Battle of the Hypen again. Doc James, you still around. Can I get a reference, bro? I will be doing lots of medicine stuff too. Thank you in advance for your decision, whatever it may be. Cliff (a/k/a "Uploadvirus") ( talk) 16:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
No, you're right - my sincere apologies. VERY bad day, long story. I was an idiot for posting that. Prayers for the deceased mans family, thanks for your kind - kinder than I deserved - reply. Cliff (a/k/a "Uploadvirus") ( talk) 15:51, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
I requested your opinion on the deletion of File:Krista Ford, business student and former captain of the Toronto Triumph, of the Lingerie Football League.jpg after a questionable {{ f7}} tagging.
You didn't respond, possibily because a newbie mangled the heading. I am repeating that request. Geo Swan ( talk) 00:38, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Since 7 April 2019, this Wikipedian only edited once before a sudden and unexpected pause in editing. Since then after noticing Ronbot has been blocked in late May of the same year, the admin who blocked it was thinking of the prospect on the hope Ron will return. Then in May 2020, I'd noticed the RIP section, giving the major clue that he would never return unfortunately. It is very hard to actually find Wikipedians of Facebook but User:Graham87 managed to do so and confirmed, via a friend of Ron on Facebook, that the sad news became a reality.
I am sure his family can have a safe Christmas this year thinking about him, his wife and precious pets. Thanks, Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 19:36, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

In recognition of all the work Ronhjones has done over the years, I have lit a candle in memory of the good contributions both on the English and other Wikipedias in addition to Ronbot where I first noticed the user. RIP two years on Ron. Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 17:30, 7 April 2021 (UTC) |
Saw Ronbot. Curious about you, came here, but found out you moved on. Rest in peace. Firestar464 ( talk) 10:47, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi page watchers of this talk page,
You will see before the RIP section that there is a link to a deleted page which the user has requested deletion [1]. Do we need to keep that on here or remove it? Iggy ( Swan) ( Contribs) 22:29, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Hey, how can I use the Toei Animation logo for the Italian Wikipedia? I tried to put it but it doesn't show it NoruToby ( talk) 04:51, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
I'm really sorry, I didn't read. Thank you for the reply NoruToby ( talk) 11:25, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Can someone please replace the three instances of "bg1=" and "bg2=" at User:Ronhjones/Gallery with "titlebgcolor=" and "contentbgcolor=" respectively. Terasail [✉️] 22:58, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Enakkoru Magan Pirappan DVD cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Minorax«¦ talk¦» 16:20, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Good evening, I searched the owner of the file of the Mauritian passport. I would like to add this file (photo) to the next article: List of passports. If you're not the owner, I'll be glad if you'll be able to connect me with the owner. Adir David ( talk) 17:28, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps the user page deceased box, and the one on this talk page should include the year of death (and for all user/usertalk pages of deceased users). Users may figure out why a ping did not happen -- 64.229.90.172 ( talk) 07:38, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:British monopoly.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iruka13 ( talk • contribs) 12:41, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
