Do not announce deaths without a proper source

I noticed your recent edit on the Uffe Haagerup page, announcing his death. I am here to inform you, that it is considered very rude behaviour to post anything of that nature on Wikipedia, without any proper reference.

Even if the info is true, Wikipedia is not a news channel and if no proper ref exist at the moment, we must wait until there is one available. RhinoMind (talk) 10:11, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Uffes tragic departure has now been properly sourced by another user and the info is up on the page. I hope you understand why announcements of unsourced deaths is unacceptable? RhinoMind (talk) 15:46, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I am very sorry for this mistake I made. I will remember to include source when adding this kind of sad information. Palau (talk) 21:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment Palau. I might have come across a bit brisk, but there was quite a few (unsourced) announcements from different users on the page and I posted a template-response on several User-pages to counter it. This left no place for politeness or personalized explanations; the sole intent was just to stop it effectively. I hope this issue hasn't dashed your interest in editing Wikipedia.
