Wrong Edits

Hi,

You copied this line 'It was not until 1967 that the next batch of Veterinary graduates emerged from the joint effort of Ahmadu Bello University and University of Ibadan which were the first schools for full Veterinary Medicine in N.igeria' straight from here - https://theconversation.com/nigeria-needs-more-veterinary-doctors-but-getting-them-is-a-big-challenge-158323 and put it in an article I developed today. Meanwhile, I had to remove the wrong information you put on the same page about the CEO of NVRI being a journalist.

Kindly do your research well before editing so that it would not appear as if you are deliberately vandalizing an article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Glow Iniative

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 Glow Iniative, 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.

Mirrors

Thanks for contributing to the article Erinle River. 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.

You appear to have lied to me. I've disabled this account for 48 hours. Will need a much more comprehensive response than "OK".

About Erinle River, I asked one of Wikipedia facilitator about if someone add wrong sources to article, I ask that (is it the person that put the wrong source that will remove or delete it or Wikipedia facilitator) and the person didn't reply me. When you send me message my thinking is that you have rectify it. And also am not the person that created the article I just try my best to add sources to it and it as affect me now. Please am sorry I will be slowing down and check the source I want to use to any article. Please Bembety (talk) 14:24, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Am sorry once again please don't block me Bembety (talk) 16:05, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that the sources is Wikipedia sources and it can not be used for any wikipedia article again. Because Wikipedia sources can not be used for Wikipedia article for reference again Bembety (talk) 16:06, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really not sure how to read your response. I've linked directly to the source that was a problem, and I even called it out specifically in the section warning above. You then used it a third time. It should not have happened even once if you were evaluating the sources you are using - it clearly notes that the material there is copied from here. I don't know what you mean by "Wikipedia facilitator" above. Sam Kuru (talk) 02:39, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean Wikipedia administrator.

Thanks i will be checking any sources i want to use to back any article. It won't happan again. Bembety (talk) 06:12, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your recent edit 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.

Please stop adding long--and mostly unsourced--lists of non-notable academics to school articles. Please see our guidelines for inclusion at WP:WTAF. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:26, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Professor Owoeye Babajide

Hello, Bembety

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Professor Owoeye Babajide for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Female Football Articles

@Bembety Good day. I hope you are well. I would like to address your eagerness to create female articles however you are just creating substandard articles which can be easily deleted. What you need to do is to check other articles and research and follow the right criteria to create a good article for the start.

Don't be in a hurry to just create an article. That isn't an achievement if you don't create an article that is well-researched. Also Follow the criteria here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Players.

It is great to have other people contributing to articles within this space. You're welcome. Happy Editing. Ampimd (talk) 14:17, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Fidous Yakubu for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Fidous Yakubu 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/Fidous Yakubu 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 until the discussion has finished.

Deletion discussion about Owoeye Babajide

Hello Bembety, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Owoeye Babajide, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Owoeye Babajide.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Anwegmann}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
