I would like to make a contribution to Wikipedia in the form of an idea. This is not an idea for an article but a feature which I have not found available yet.

In the past I have often looked up recently deceased public figures to see if any articles about these people were updated yet. To this date I have never found an article to be out of date. This proves to me that Wikipedia is kept up current enough for an obituary service to be implemented. One could go to Wikipedia on a daily basis and check out what obituaries are posted. If someone has recently died that is not listed, users could then update the wiki themselves. It would be a great service and could create a lot of repeat traffic as people get into the habit of checking the wiki obits on a daily basis.
