Hello, AlikotoSam. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Augustine Ntelabi Bukari".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Kiteinthewind Leave a message! 08:25, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Darkovibes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 00:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Darkovibes portrait.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Utopia P2P (April 17)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Sulfurboy were:  The comment the reviewer left was: Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

April 2020[edit]

Information icon

Hello AlikotoSam. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Utopia P2P, 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:AlikotoSam. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AlikotoSam|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. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:42, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sulfurboy, I am aware of Wikipedia’s terms of use and I can assure you this is an attempt to put pen to paper on a platform I heard about and realised doesn’t exist on Wikipedia. I did notice that most of the news articles on it was from a press release and so I decided to submit this as a draft to be looked at and see how it goes. The tag you put on it isn’t quite needed. Thank you very much. AlikotoSam (talk) 14:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Ntelabi for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ntelabi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ntelabi (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 03:10, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let me direct you here for Draft:Decred‎:[edit]

User:Praxidicae/fntest is a very useful list. Google News is easily fooled. The editor who compiles thsi is not easy to fool Fiddle Faddle 12:34, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fiddle so this means there must be a list of acceptable specific websites Wikipedia uses despite the guidelines on what is accepted as credible sources, right?--AlikotoSam (talk) 12:38, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, and it might be useful to take your question to it for more authoritative answers. The challenge is that it is up to the editor who deploys a source to show that it is reliable in this context. Catch 22 Fiddle Faddle 12:43, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have taken my time to crosscheck the sources I used to see if any appear on User:Praxidicae/fntest but I could not find anything. So then I wonder why you declined the draft based on this. Should I resubmit it?--AlikotoSam (talk) 12:46, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AlikotoSam, feel free to resubmit it if you are certain. That list is by no means exhaustive and I may be in error. I used judgement that if I accept dit it would be sent immediately for deletion. Other reviewers' opinions will vary Fiddle Faddle 12:48, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Do note that interviews with the principals or staff thereof, and PR pieces disqualify a reference from being of any use in verifying and notability. Fiddle Faddle 12:50, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I do understand that and I have taken my time to check each source for this. Thanks.--AlikotoSam (talk) 12:52, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AlikotoSam, Go for it, then. I won't stand in your way. I'll also ask for other eyes un case I am in error (on the help desk) Fiddle Faddle 13:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Decred (August 5)[edit]

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has been Rejected by a reviewer in the Articles for Creation review process. DO NOT resubmit this draft or attempt to resubmit this draft or prepare or submit a draft that is substantially the same as this draft without discussing the reasons for the rejection. You may request a discussion with the rejecting reviewer, or you may request a discussion with the community at the Teahouse. A discussion will not necessarily agree to a resubmission. If this draft is resubmitted, or an attempt is made to resubmit this draft or an equivalent draft, without addressing the reasons for the Rejection, a topic-ban or a partial block may be requested against the submitting editor, and the draft may be nominated for deletion.

You may ask for advice about Rejection at the Teahouse.

The Wikipedia community has already considered the notability of this particular cryptocurrency, and has found that it is not notable, and most cryptocurrencies are not notable.

Ramotion moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Ramotion, 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.

Hello, thank you for your time to review this draft. I believe I used the tone in the founder’s article here Tex Earnhardt to write my draft as I picked some points from there as well. Is there a particular sentence that made you conclude that this sounded more of an advertisement? I really want to improve on my writing skills and would really appreciate it if you teach me a thing or two. Thank you very much. AlikotoSam (talk) 09:48, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
