Gbenga Adefaye moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Gbenga Adefaye, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Semmy1960! Your additions to Unilever Nigeria Plc have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Draftifying

The essence of moving an article to Draftspace is covered under WP:DRAFTIFY, numerous reasons if you read it, I have draftiified because of COI concerns so please rather than move war, the idea is to submit it via AFC. Celestina007 (talk) 21:57, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

July 2021

Your edit to West African Journalists Association has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. Two paragraphs had a lot of copy paste from a website that was CC-BY-NC (non-commercial use license). Wikipedia can't accept that kind of text. A good rule of thumb is, never copy paste, always heavily paraphrase. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:54, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Florence Seriki

added a link pointing to African

Slobodan Šaranović

added a link pointing to Investigator

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:58, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. I will check it and make necessary corrections. Semmy1960 (talk) 07:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like Certificate are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
• Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Also, per MOS:NOSECTIONLINKS, section headings should not contain wikilinks.

Enjoy editing! Leschnei (talk) 12:46, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Your additions of internal links

Hi Semmy1960. I've recently had to fix several inappropriate links that you've added - I assume you're using some kind of tool to find them. Please ensure that before you add a link you check that it is actually relevant to the matter being discussed in the article - you've added links to Georgia (state) rather than George (country) and sometimes articles that have no connection at all to the word being linked (like this). You're also sometimes adding too many links - we don't need to link every word that we can find an article for, and we usually only link a particular article once. It's great that you're trying to improve the encyclopaedia, but I've had to go through every single page you've edited to look for and fix errors, and that is creating work for other users. Please, take a second to check that what you're adding is helpful first. Thank you! ninety:one 13:46, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Pages were suggested by boot that the links added to those pages were not enough.The pages were orphans. I will take my time to check them over again. Thanks for your observation. I am new here and I enjoy contributing to Wiki. Semmy1960 (talk) 13:58, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at Oluyemisi Alatise. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Mirrors

Thanks for contributing to the article Enugu State. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

We had Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1095#Gombe editors about your edits and the edits of the people in your groups, we have above multiple articles being moved to draft space, and looking at your contributions, your most recent one is this one removing the Category:Living people from a BLP, but instead adding a redlinked category.
