Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited University of Nigeria, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page UNN. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Wrong Edits

edit

Hi,

You copied this line 'It was not until 1967 that the next batch of Veterinary graduates emerged from the joint effort of Ahmadu Bello University and University of Ibadan which were the first schools for full Veterinary Medicine in N.igeria' straight from here - https://theconversation.com/nigeria-needs-more-veterinary-doctors-but-getting-them-is-a-big-challenge-158323 and put it in an article I developed today. Meanwhile, I had to remove the wrong information you put on the same page about the CEO of NVRI being a journalist.

Kindly do your research well before editing so that it would not appear as if you are deliberately vandalizing an article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Glow Iniative

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Glow Iniative, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

  Thanks for contributing to the article Erinle River. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited!

Speedy deletion nomination of Professor Owoeye Babajide

edit

Hello, Bembety

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Professor Owoeye Babajide for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Female Football Articles

edit

@Bembety Good day. I hope you are well. I would like to address your eagerness to create female articles however you are just creating substandard articles which can be easily deleted. What you need to do is to check other articles and research and follow the right criteria to create a good article for the start.

Don't be in a hurry to just create an article. That isn't an achievement if you don't create an article that is well-researched. Also Follow the criteria here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Players.

It is great to have other people contributing to articles within this space. You're welcome. Happy Editing. Ampimd (talk) 14:17, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

edit
 
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Fidous Yakubu is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Deletion discussion about Owoeye Babajide

edit

Hello Bembety, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Owoeye Babajide, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Owoeye Babajide.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Anwegmann}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Ungrammatical titles

edit

Please do not create pages with the "Giving name" qualifier. This is incorrect and ungrammatical. The correct form is "Given name", and the correct word is "given", not "giving". Thanks. CycloneYoris talk! 21:34, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Noted. Thanks Bembety (talk) 21:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi.The article is about a name, and as you can see, the article I created is part of that name. I have no concerns about whether it's his first or middle name. Since the name already appears on Wikipedia, I believe I'm good to go. It's common for many Yoruba people to have two names after their surname, and his name is often included on their credentials, even if they don’t commonly use it. Thanks for the message, but I suggest that the article should stand. Bembety (talk) 12:10, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
