In Memoriam

Help

In here we remember those who walked amongst us that have passed since the last memorial at the Wikimania in 2021.
An individual's passing is always a time of sorrow;
we hope the void that is left can be filled with joy in celebrating the life and differences they made.
As time progresses, every word may slowly vanish from view.
Take solace in the knowledge that every contribution is there, whether it can be seen or not,
for each contribution has made the whole: they will continue to live through the projects they helped to make possible.

Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell
