I can't, I remember watching it though! It was in the Bamber Gascoigne days. Billy was a local hero then. (VOG)

Refs for article development

[edit]

The first 3 have been removed from Bill Thompson (technology writer)#External links per WP:ELNO. The others are relevant URLs which could be worked in as article content when anyone has time. (I may do this myself.)

'Wikipedia death hoax'

[edit]

I removed a section of this article describing how he had been mistakenly described as dead in an earlier version of this article, and had written an article about it himself. I just don't think that's particularly significant or worth mentioning. Lots of people have been mistakenly claimed as dead in Wikipedia at one time or another (see Death hoax), but we don't normally note that in their articles.
