how this works
1. you type a namewe search wikidata for humans matching it — and quietly fix your typos.
2. we read the recordwikidata stores a date of death for people who have one. no date, no dirt nap.
3. you get an answerplus the dates, the job, and a link to read more. no 900-word preamble.
we are occasionally wrong, because wikidata is occasionally wrong. here’s how to fix it.
