Ebert in 1970

Roger Ebert (June 18, 1942 – April 4, 2013) was a professional film critic. In his Chicago Sun-Times columns he had mentioned using Wikipedia. Judging from the user contributions this is evidently the account he used to edit and improve several articles, to contribute to the project.

Rest in Peace

Rest in piece, you were a critical part of my childhood and I am seriously going to miss you <3 ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ Talk ♪ ߷ ♀ Contribs ♀ 05:00, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • This was a shock, but not an unexpected one. I have long been a pretty big fan of Roger Ebert, and I will miss his insights on the latest movies. Hard to believe that his reviews have come to an end, but I guess that's the way it had to be sooner or later. RIP. Kurtis (talk) 05:30, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
