Pauline van Till (Pvt pauline)

Pauline Louise van Till
(The Hague, 25 July 1944 –
The Hague, 27 July 2020)

Last month, the Dutch Wikipedia lost a long-time member of the editing community, Pauline van Till. She volunteered at the Museum Sophiahof which used her title "Barones" in its obituary.[1] The Dutch wiki Wikisage reports that she was the first female caddy on the PGA European Tour, where she got the nickname "Dutchess".

Van Till wrote articles in the areas of golf and the international world of golfers in the Dutch and English Wikipedias, and also contributed images from all over the world to Commons. One of her best-known pictures, widely used through the projects, is of Johan Cruijff as a golfer in 2009: File:Johan Cruijff golfer cropped.jpg. She was also known under her other accounts, Pvt pauline~commonswiki and Pvt pauline~enwiki.
