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. Rocky8311 18:22, October 16, 2005 (EDT)
