Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Climate Change!

Thanks for helping edit Climate Change content on Wikipedia! WikiProject Climate Change is a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of climate change articles here on Wikipedia. I noticed that you are interested in editing articles related to climate change topics; we need more editors like you in the community.

Wikipedia is one the most requested, published, accessed, and consulted source of information on climate change and sustainability in every language. As an editing community, we think Wikipedia is one of the best ways for sharing knowledge about the climate crises, and also the best path to help decision makers and communicators at all levels of society, including journalists, policy makers, politicians, and decision makers.

If you want to do more, here are some suggestions:

Content is much more likely to stick if you have good citations. Check out our recommended sources collection to learn what kinds of sources we think are best.
If you are looking for ideas on what to edit, consider one of the Small to medium tasks suggestions.
Be bold and join the discussion! The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle.
Please leave a message on the on the WikiProject Climate change talk page if you have concerns that involve multiple articles, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing. Or for general questions about how Wikipedia works, feel free to ask at the Wikipedia Teahouse.

Feel free to respond to this note if you have any questions. I wish you all the best! EMsmile (talk) 00:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

You seem to be adding a paragraph from various academic papers to various articles. Is this part of some project or assignment or course you are doing? I recommend that you rather edit incrementally. It seems a bit arbitrary how you use content from primary sources to add text blocks to articles. The articles are also behind paywalls so it's hard to check for any copyright infringements.

Thank you for your message and for bringing this to my attention. I apologise for any confusion or inconvenience caused by my recent edits.

I am not part of any specific project, assignment, or course. As a new contributor to Wikipedia, I was trying to enhance the content of various articles by incorporating relevant information from academic sources. However, I understand that my approach may have been too abrupt and that adding large blocks of text from primary sources can be problematic.

I appreciate your advice on editing incrementally and will keep this in mind for future contributions. I will focus on making smaller, more targeted edits that improve the clarity and quality of the articles without relying too heavily on single sources.

Regarding the issue of paywalled sources, I apologise for any difficulty in verifying the content. In the future, I will strive to use more accessible sources or provide relevant excerpts within the bounds of fair use to support any additions or changes I make.

Thank you for your guidance and patience as I learn to navigate the world of Wikipedia editing. I am committed to contributing positively to the platform and will be more mindful of the best practices and guidelines in my future edits.

Please let me know if you have any further concerns or if there is anything else I can do to improve my contributions. TundeOnikoyi (talk) 23:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Babatunde Onikoyi (March 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Anuwrites was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You could find useful information at WP:ACADEMICS. The article's main source is from the 'individual's" personal blog/website escorted by several articles tagging the subject as a writer. You could eventually pass through WP:COI and WP:BIO for additional information. Happy editing.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Babatunde Onikoyi and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
