Please create sandboxes in userspace

Hello. Please prefix articles in progress with User:Zekie The Geek. The MediaWiki software needs the User: prefix to determine where a page is located. You can access your sandbox at User:Zekie The Geek/sandbox. Thank you, Silikonz💬 21:34, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate your help. I have worked on an article and would like to review it or provide more assistance. Thank you. Zekie The Geek (talk) 20:50, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Currently the article sounds a tad bit promotional, if you will. I would recommend toning down this language in places such as ...proud Ghanaian and an impressive career starting from his University days as a Radio Sports presenter and commentator to being a global Sports journalism icon with a far-reaching impact across the continent of Africa and the world at large through his brilliant sing-song commentary voice. In addition, it would be appreciated if there were reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject, i.e. not just merely mentioning him. Silikonz💬 20:56, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. I will rephrase those sentences accordingly. Zekie The Geek (talk) 20:59, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The necessary corrections have been made and promotional language and tone edited out of the article. Zekie The Geek (talk) 21:04, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still spy a few, including The major breakthrough of his career happened on radio via the Joy FM 99.7 frequency in Accra, Ghana as he run commentary on Spain vs. the Netherlands match at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Listeners were drawn by his pronunciation and command of the English language as well as his in-depth knowledge of football during the FIFA World Cup tournament. However, when the article is finished, you can either submit for review or move it directly to mainspace (watch for the page title this time). Silikonz💬 21:09, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How do I move it to mainspace after I am done editing? Zekie The Geek (talk) 21:17, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is quite ready yet; the language is still a bit promotional. However, see Help:Move for more info on moving; if you would like to submit for review just put {{subst:Submit}} at the top. Silikonz💬 21:20, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
