- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.

Sources in Wikipedia articles
[edit]Hi DeeUc 09, in addition to welcoming you to Wikipedia, I wanted to thank you for helping to improve Wikipedia by adding references to sources. However, I wanted to give you a heads-up about sources that copy their content from wikipedia.org – so-called "Wikipedia mirrors". These can't be used as sources in Wikipedia, since that would be a circular reference.
Wikipedia mirrors should display an attribution on each page they copy from Wikipedia – some of them do, but not all of them, and in some cases the attribution isn't very clear. But when you find a website that contains the exact same text as the Wikipedia article does, it's a sign that it is almost certainly a mirror (unless the Wikipedia article is a copyright violation of the other website!)
- The website liquisearch.com, which you used as a source in this edit to Larry Izamoje is a Wikipedia mirror. The attribution at the bottom of the page is a bit weird, but the site is definitely a mirror.
- Another one is wikimili.com – any website with "wiki" in its domain name is probably not appropriate to use as a source, since it's probably user generated. wikimili.com is clearly marked as a Wikipedia mirror with an attribution at the bottom of the page, and the entire article is exactly identical to the one on Wikipedia.
- Yet another mirror is en-academic.com, used in this edit to Larry Izamoje. This website says "Wikipedia" at the top, and "Wikimedia Foundation. 2010." at the bottom of the pages.
Other websites that are not usable as sources in Wikipedia include academicinfluence.com and gistflare.com.ng (any web page that has a title like "[Name] Age, Husband, Tribe, Boyfriend, Best Friend, Married, Engaged & Net Worth" is almost certainly not a reliable source. Those are content scrapers.
Just wanted to make you aware of this. Happy editing! Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 10:32, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm PhantomTech. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Eniola Ajao because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.
