== Coming up on one year ==
David, I think of you often and wish we could have had one more phone call or I'd make it back to the meetups. My thoughts are with your loved ones. For those of us on wiki, anyone feel like a mini drive for David? Brooklyn, library, academic. I think he'd appreciate any or all efforts. I'm still on and offline so wanted to kick this off early for any ideas.

:I missed the "one year" mark, being sick and in the hospital, and just wanted to add that I enjoyed the interactions I had with David. He was older than I by fourteen years. He was the same age as my sister who was, like David, an inspiration. He actually shaped, or I should state reshaped, some of my ideologies concerning Wikipedia. I would laugh, actually out loud, when I would see any of his typing errors. I could just imagine him saying "just fix it". DGG, I think I can safely state for many editors, you are missed. Our song choices may not match but this reminds me of a song [[George Jones]] sang: [[Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes]]. -- [[User:Otr500|Otr500]] ([[User talk:Otr500|talk]]) 08:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
== Gone but not forgotten ==
It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to remember and honor David Goodman. It is hard to believe a year has passed so quickly. DGG, as he was affectionately known, was an esteemed member of our community but also a dear friend who touched the lives of many with his kindness, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. As an administrator and former member of the Arbitration Committee on Wikipedia, DGG played a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and quality of our shared knowledge. His contributions were marked by fairness, diligence, and a deep commitment to the values of open access and collaboration. His work here has left an indelible mark, and his absence is profoundly felt. Rest in peace, my friend...your contributions and friendship will never be forgotten.

*Hear! Hear! I'll never forget DGG's support and guidance during my first wobbly steps into the world of WP. He always remained the go to person if I had a situation where I was unsure how to handle it. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 08:20, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
*Thank you, {{u|Atsme}}, for this fitting tribute. I learned a lot from DGG. When I was a fairly new editor, I disagreed with him about a notability issue and I explained my reasoning quite carefully. He responded something like, "You have made some excellent points and have changed my mind." I also remember that he did not like being called an administrator or ArbCom member in routine content discussions. He thought that all editors should be seen as equals in content matters, and only the quality of each editor's argument should matter. He was a fine man and a kind man, and I miss him.

:Someone mentioned academic notability recently and I nearly suggested they ask DGG, who was AfC unofficial expert in the subject, before I remembered. We weren't close, but he's still remembered.

Not sure if this is the correct place to bring this up: Can the actions that have been taken to DGG's user page and account please also be taken at [[User:DGG (NYPL)]] since it's an alt?

:I labeled it as deceased. You'll need a steward for the global lock. [[User:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#be33ff;">Star</span>]] [[User talk:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#ff33da;">Mississippi</span>]] 03:06, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
