Abuja Declaration (1989)

I have reverted your re-write of this article, because I do not think it is an improvement. In particular:

• Parts of it seem to be copied from http://www.nairaland.com/1840446/abuja-declaration-oic-1989. You must not copy material into Wikipedia: please read Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• The previous version, which I have restored, is well referenced, in accordance with the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy, summarised as "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source."
• In regard to the last sentence of your version, about General Babangida, please read carefully the policy Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, and note in particular that it includes:

"Contentious material about living persons... that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

Please do not restore your version. The way Wikipedia works is described at Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. You have made a bold change, and it has been reverted. Now, if you think the article should be changed, you should propose changes on the article talk page, and see whether there is a WP:Consensus to make them.

The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia and how you can contribute. JohnCD (talk) 12:12, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fortune Global Shipping and Logistics

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 Fortune Global Shipping and Logistics, 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, product, group, service or person 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 removed 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. Intelligentsium 13:58, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

July 2016

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 15:10, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Help me!

Please why did you delete this page, I reference a site and i am still referencing more website,i don't really get it?

 ...

Cooklabel (talk) 15:17, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Because you appear to be trying to advertise a company. That is not allowed on Wikipedia. Acroterion (talk) 15:22, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

You'll want to take a look at the Terms of Use, particularly the section on "Paid contributions without disclosure". I'm not sure what websites you referenced; the content of your page was clearly taken from the company itself and blatantly, openly promotional. Wikipedia is not free ad space. Example quote: "Our drive to deliver a world class logistics service to all our customers world-wide; aided with our vision and mission has propelled us towards the expansion and results that we have recorded in the shortest time of our business operations." If you cannot see why that's not appropriate for an encyclopedia article, you should not edit Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 16:21, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

OK sited your point of view, corrections taken!..

Speedy deletion nomination of Macauley Ajayi Balogun

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 Macauley Ajayi Balogun requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 11:54, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Isanlu moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Isanlu, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Currently it has zero independent, reliable 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.
