Hello Celestina, I have already stated elsewhere that I am not doing this for payment and that it is insulting for anyone to imply this. I have also left some arguments about notability before. I learnt the hard way when starting and honestly if not for the 'Be Bold' reminder I keep seeing on my talk page and having met some of the wikimedia representatives on Ethiopia before, I would have left Wikipedia after all those speedy deletion requests. I actually thought it was okay to write about people you know until I learnt about the conflict of interest. Nevertheless I follow the style of already accepted articles when trying to write new ones. I have been focusing on writing about people I know but I will try to moderate this. Even at that, I am still more interested in writing about my country. [[User:Opatachibueze|Opatachibueze]] ([[User talk:Opatachibueze#top|talk]])

Welcome

Welcome! (We can't say that loudly enough!)

Hello, Opatachibueze, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, please come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing four tildes (xwiz); our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

We're so glad you're here! Meatsgains (talk) 18:22, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Displaying tips on your user page

If you would like to display the Wikipedia tip of the day on your User page, here is how:

Edit your User page and insert one or more of the following bolded strings (including the four curly braces), preview your edit, and when it looks right, save it.

To see a visual display of the below templates check out the Tip of the Day Display template gallery.

  • {{totd}} – the main userspace version of the tip of the day template, with border, centered in the middle of the page. Complete with inspirational light bulb. Border color can be custom modified.
  • {{totd b}} – a more compact version of the above template. Useful for columns.
  • {{totd3}} – a purple box version, useful for displaying the tip in columns.
  • {{totd-random}} – this is the tip of the moment template, which automatically displays a different tip every time you enter a page it is on. If it doesn't update, try clearing your browser cache.
  • {{totd-tomorrow}} – this shows tomorrow's tip, and is used by Wikipedia tipsters to make sure that the tips are up-to-date and corrected before they go live.
  • {{tip of the day}} – the borderless version, with light bulb.
  • {{tip of the day with h3 heading}} – the tip in heading/paragraph format (No light bulb).
  • {{totd2}} – the borderless version used on Wikipedia's Help page (which already has its own borders). (No light bulb).
  • {{totd CP}} – like the help page version, but with a box and light bulb. Spans the whole field (screen or column) that it is in.
  • {{totd-static}} –  like the totd version but the date is static. You have to manually change the date. Good for testing purposes.



To have the current day's tip and tomorrow's tip show up at the bottom of your talk page, below the last message, paste this code anywhere on your talk page (preferably at the top):

<ref>{{totd}}</br>{{right|{{today cell}}{{spaces|5}}}}{{totd-tomorrow}}</ref>


To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

The article Emeka Okonkwo has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable individual lacking in-depth, non-trivial support.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. reddogsix (talk) 19:24, 2 March 2018 (UTC) Opatachibueze (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2018 (UTC) Hi reddogsix, replied on your talk page.

Grace ihejiamaizu moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Grace ihejiamaizu, does not have enough sources and citations 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. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:50, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Information icon Hello, Opatachibueze. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

  • Note: As you said yourself back in March 2018 (diff), "Most entertainment celebrities in Nigeria only appear in blogs." They are very rarely notable by Wikipedia's standards of what belongs in an encyclopedia.

Athaenara 22:20, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Athaenera, really appreciate your time.
By that sentence, I meant that appearing more in blogs doesn't make them less notable, just different. I thought I have actually come across pages that were initiated by acquaintances before, I mean, if a notable person is truly popular, you would have met one or two times. Personally, I'm a very neutral and critical person though, I always want people to point out exactly the sentence or word that they think is problematic but it seems to be a very hard demand on Wikipedia. I'm a teacher myself, been teaching programming for over 10 years, we are all brothers/sisters, I don't see any point for someone to just label something in entirety unless it is truly that label in entirety. But a lot of the in-betweens are caught up in that mess, such that you can now have a case where two people's opinion on the same article as so different because they are struggling to wholly categorize or label it to save their time. Opatachibueze (talk) 09:02, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Undisclosed Paid

Information icon

Hello Opatachibueze. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Opatachibueze. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Opatachibueze|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Hey you may want to go through polices & guidelines on receiving payment for creating articles on living persons. You edits show you creating articles for people clearly non notable. An example is your page on Glory Osei which was speedy deleted. Do endeavor to disclose names of your employer or employers forthwith. Cheers Template:Z159 Celestina007 (talk) 18:46, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
