Well actually...I changed some words to reflect past tense, but it appears that present tense is used in multiple articles about events in the past...what are we going to go with?  It doesn't make sense to say a person "is a pilot yadayada" but "they die" in the same paragraph.  IMO, present tense in a character's article says to me that this character can still be relevant to the story, but if they're dead, they can't.

Current policy is present tense everywhere, except for character biographies and historical notes. --April Arcus 22:50, 16 October 2005 (EDT)

The exclamation point in the image name may be the problem. If you cannot rename the uploaded picture, reload it with a simple alphanumerical name. Spencerian 17:05, 20 October 2005 (EDT)
PS: No spaces in the link, and all of the name is case-sensitive. If it works, your photo will appear here: thus: Spencerian 17:30, 20 October 2005 (EDT)
