Hello, I'm Fyrael. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Ursula Bellugi, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! &#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 14:54, 20 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Fyrael,
 * Ursula Bellugi is no longer a living person, as she died on Sunday. My purpose was to announce that fact to her worldwide network, as I am helping the family with obituary material. How should I be making this update? Am I supposed to wait for the obituary to appear in the New York Times, which might take a few more days? Milocatch22 (talk) 16:30, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, you should wait until the information can be verified in a published, reliable source. Wikipedia is not meant to be a platform to announce things to the world. I hope you can appreciate how that is not the purpose of an encyclopedia.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 20:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you by any chance have a source you could point us to for the 2018 end date you added to some of her positions?&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 03:45, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * After speaking with her son, no. She retired that year, but only one position was converted to Emerita. The others continued, apparently. I will rewrite this passage gently to remove the year 2018, which cannot be supported by published sources, and I don't have the energy to do a long-distance investigation with each of her three institutions.

 * Yeah, that's fine. I wasn't even going to challenge them since it's such a minor point. Just thought it would be even better if you had a source. Thanks for the updates.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 18:56, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
