Hello, I'm Trains2050. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Femi Falodun, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Trains2050 (talk) 14:38, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Trains2050 I'm still editing the article and I'm already providing sources. Thanks. Festus Nice (talk) 14:44, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Festus Nice. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Alex Okoroji (actress), 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:Festus Nice. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Festus Nice|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. Celestina007 13:13, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for your edit and the note you left here for me. I'm not a paid editor and I will never be. If you find contents that are promotional kindly feel free and remove them. I wrote in detail about the subject because the information is available on some websites. But check very well you will find that it is not a copy and paste effort.

I see that you have removed several sources because they are not reliable and I'm okay with it but to proceed to label me with paid editing tag is totally incorrect. I only know her through radio talk show.

Yourself have created articles about Nigerian Nollywood stars, but were you accused of financial inducement? Festus Nice (talk) 13:36, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Festus Nice no I don’t get accused of “financial inducement” because I don’t create articles that are borderline blatantly promotional neither do I try and recreate an article that was speedy deleted twice. You remember? no? it’s always a joke up until it isn’t. Now, before you go on to talk about how you only know her through a radio talk show you should know that no editor here was born last night. Furthermore if you have been contacted by subject of the article or other Nigerian editors to create this article now might be a good time to be honest.Celestina007 14:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've already told you that I have no connection whatsoever either directly or indirectly with the subject of the article. This is a catastrophic coincidence that my first article is an article that was deleted before but honestly I'm not aware that this had happened before. If you would not believe this honest explanation, kindly delete the article as I have no special interest in it.

I had seen a number of Wikipedia articles about actors and actresses in which occupational titles (actress) or (actor) is written in brackets in from of the name of of the subject and I thought this was the standard for actors and actresses. So I created this one in same manner.

The article is at your disposal, feel free and do with it what pleases you. I feel terribly bad creating this article in the first place. I hope I've not offended you creating this article. Festus Nice (talk) 15:04, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nahh don’t do that, don’t indirectly patronize me & quit with the guilt tripping also. A last question for you would be, are you right now abiding by all our policies pertaining to editor good conducts & practices? Celestina007 15:16, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have an undisclosed financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements.

Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:13, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Okoroji (actress) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Alex Okoroji (actress), 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.
