IOSR Journals

Please do not use IOSR Journals as a reference as they are a predatory publisher, not a reliable source - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 10:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why remove everything? Are these Journals IOSR too:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC. (2012). Infant lead poisoning associated with use of tiro, an eye cosmetic from Nigeria--Boston, Massachusetts, 2011. MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 61(30), 574-576.

Bascom, W. R. (1949). Literary style in Yoruba riddles. The Journal of American Folklore, 62(243), 1-16. OmoIyaLeke (talk) 10:51, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Akoko

Hello. Your recent edit to Akoko appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:42, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Am truly sorry. The notable persons without a Wikipedia page are from the older generation, and do not value this medium. Will follow your guideline and try to create a page for those that meet the criteria. OmoIyaLeke (talk) 12:01, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding material not supported by sources

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't directly add those contents, but @Fregwamu did. See the history: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Warri_South&diff=prev&oldid=1232422987. I only edited the malicious parts from the same user, citing "ogbe/ijoh" to be in Warri South, whereas it is in Warri South-West. OmoIyaLeke (talk) 18:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You added a long list of communities which is not mentioned in the source provided. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:16, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. OmoIyaLeke (talk) 19:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I would paraphrase and remove Land abundance and economic institutions: Egba land and slavery, as a source. OmoIyaLeke (talk) 18:49, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
