Thank you for having this obituary in The Signpost. Several amazing editors have died this year and it's a great loss for the project. Thanks for reminding us about some of SarahSV's contributions. LizRead!Talk!20:37, 27 June 2021 (UTC)reply
Thanks to all who contributed to this obituary in Sarah's memory. Her spirit shines on, and not just through her momentous accomplishments.

I'm very sorry to learn this. It was when researching The World and Wikipedia (many years ago) that I first saw SlimVirgin's work. I described her as "brave enough to court all kinds of controversy" and noted that she "withstood the pressure of scurrilous attacks from the shadows beyond the encyclopedia".

Oh, that's sad news! I never had the pleasure to work with her, but if we indeed owe
Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth to her, then for that alone I salute her. Although such a prolific editor can not be replaced, I feel like her legacy will live on in the work she did, and the policies that we follow. Thanks for the obituary. --

A great loss to everyone. She was a giant! She was very supportive! What a wonderful person. She will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, from your friend,

Very sorry to belatedly learn this sad news. May she rest in peace. She will be sadly missed. A few years ago I found myself having to briefly try to offer info to a feminist newbie on the pitfalls liable to be encountered if she wanted to survive as a female and feminist in Wikipedia (not so long after some leading feminist editors had got booted out), an area about which as a male I inevitably know almost nothing, but it was then just a simple matter of pointing her in Sarah's direction. If I ever have to do the same again, it will probably require me to do some Original Research to find out in whose direction such a newbie should now be pointed.
