Hello @Rasnaboy, is Draft:Ahmed Omar Mandela,written in a Wikipedia tone?. Africanaz (talk) 18:53, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
Ahmed Omar Mandela moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Ahmed Omar Mandela, is not suitable as written to remain published. It appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. 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, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 15:18, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Trustmark National Bank logo.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Trustmark National Bank logo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:30, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- The Author/Source indicates that for education purposes and not commercial and continues to say that No attribution required, Which I failed to identify the exact tag to use, which class does it follow under? Or what exact tag can i use for this case?

Ziza Bafana moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Ziza Bafana, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.Onel5969 TT me 13:37, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Alright, Thank you @Onel5969.
- will look for non-interview reliable sources , when I'm less engaged then submit afterwards. Africanaz (talk) 14:32, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
Without any reasonable doubt; all deleted articles and edits, additions or contributions that i have ever made fullfill the WMF purpose, my edits are very educational, very notable in different reliable sources, they are of great importance on wiki with reasonale readerhip traffic from search engines, I have not made any promotional or vandalistic edits in any way. I have always asked for guidance where unsure before editing and I have not made any conflicted edits or Any Undisclosed Paid Edits. All my edits are in total fulfillment of the WMF purpose and not in violation of the WMF terms. I took too much time studdying and learning how to edit on wiki, as well as some basic WMF terms of use before I started editing and creating articles, most of which I always start from my sandbox. Before creating any article or making any edits, i have really taken much time and sleepless nights including getting refference from related pages for better edits, to come up with my deleted works. Lastly, wiki editing has become my no.1 Hobby and I'm very proud having become part of the leading global encyclopaedia contributors' team. Very many contributions I wanted to make and found out they don't belong to wiki as they lack the required notability in reliable sources and gave up on them. I feel the block is unfair and Kindly requesting for review please. Thank you very much. Sincerely: Andy,The Tribless African. Africanaz (talk) 17:56, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You are blocked for violating WP:SOCK but have not addressed this in your unblock request. Nothing else is relevant. Yamla (talk) 18:20, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.
