Your brother also might have written or edited the Wikipedia entry, deliberately leaving out your mother’s name.īiographies and Wikipedia entries should be factually correct. Whoever composed your father’s Wikipedia page might have used the death notice as a source, incorrectly leaving out your mother’s name. He might have done so to protect his own mother’s feelings or reputation. If “Gerald” wrote the notice, then he omitted your mother’s name purposely and incorrectly, as family members sometimes do (some family members of the deceased even write competing death notices, including different information about their loved-one). Obituaries attempt to tell the story of a person’s life, and yes – they should be factually correct.
