Major edits

I know your edits on Vicky Sylvester Mnguember were of good intentions. However, you seemed to be adding unsourced content and links when not necessary. Adding original researches may conflict WP:COI which you should attest to. Please do not add more stress in stuffs like that and since you're new otherwise, do ask me in cases like this. Thanks and cheers. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 17:22, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Okay, noted, thanks Boss Frankincense Diala (talk) 23:00, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Good morning Boss @Safariscribe. I need your help please to help me edit my recent article for acceptance into the main space. Thank you Frankincense Diala (talk) 08:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

APPEAL TO BE UNBLOCKED

I truly feel  sorry for the mess I have caused. I understand I was blocked because of my unruly behavior with an impression of a WP:PAID and WP:COI impression,  but I never meant it to be so, and I am not a paid editor. I am just a novice, kind of a newbie trying to be better, and I am sorry. I will be more careful next time if unblocked. I promise not to let the reasons for this blockage repeat itself. I sincerely apologize.

Moreso, my conduct is not intended to be disruptive or cause any damage whatsoever. For this again, I sincerely apologize and promise not to let the reason for being blocked repeat itself. Frankincense Diala (talk) 11:50, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Are you the only reviewer on Wikipedia? Frankincense Diala (talk) 20:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@Frankincense Diala When you submit a draft for a review you must expect a review to be given. It is usual to take the advice in the review.

Regrettably, your draft had so many faults that it made me look at your other work, both here and on Wikimedia Commons, where I found other failings. It would be remiss of me not to flag those failings. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

July 2024

Hello Frankincense Diala. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Frankincense Diala. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Frankincense Diala|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

You are mistaken that I am being compensated for this edit. Please that's not true. You are getting it all wrong. You can do better by being more of a helper. Frankincense Diala (talk) 18:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer to this simple question, one that every editor may be asked at some time in their editing career. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

You are welcome. Futhermore, Permit me to refer you to the citations, especially the ones under Publications and Awards/Honors, on the Adeleke article, you will see they are from reliable sources (I believe you know Nigerian authority sites well). Media sites like Vanguard is even on Wikipedia. I wish you help me push it to main space. Thank you in anticipation. Frankincense Diala (talk) 19:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Please attend to the multitude of problems in the draft. By telling you about them I have helped you. You wish it to be an article, so you have to do the work. The reviewer's job ends at the review. We are to accept it if we believe it has a better than 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process. I do not believe it in the case of your draft, so I have declined it with substantial advice. I don't much care if you ignore the advice, but your doing to in a blatant manner is irritating and I have expressed my irritation in a further review. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:08, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm DoubleGrazing. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 20:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on User talk:Timtrent. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 22:16, 6 July 2024 (UT

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Drmies was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: I think we've seen enough resume building here, and enough bites at the apple.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {.  Drmies (talk) 00:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

(UTC)|decline=This is a very general statement that does not address the reason for the block, or the specific concerns described below that you are an undisclosed paid editor.  See WP:PAID and WP:COI.  If you are, now's the time to say so. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)}}

• Prior to considering removing or shortening this block, the admin considering this should look at the conversations I have had with this editor and review of one draft and draftification of another, related draft, coupled with the repeated breaches of copyright on Commons for which they received a short acting educational and preventative block. Evidence shows them to be only here to advertise a person and an organisation, and otherwise not here to build an encyclopaedia, resorting at times to perosnal attacks. They also display a lack of willingness to listen to advice. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:11, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
• Apology on behalf of the User I acknowledged that the user has been rude in their approach and as well defensive, this is not following the policy of 'Accepting good faith', however, They are in the sober mood for the mess they have caused already. I will impoly you to please pardon and overlook their shortcomings cc: 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦

I am reaching out of good faith and being a member of their community. In my language,we would say 'Ẹ̀jẹ̀ Ebure' Meaning that 'You don't take offense'. Thank you Tesleemah 20:14,19 August, 2024 (UTC)

I am very sorry, please forgive me for my actions and inactions. I now understand I was blocked because I gave a WP:PAID and WP:COI impression, as well disregard for reviewers but I never took it to heart, and I am not paid for my write ups. I am just a novice, kind of a newbie trying to be better but I just realized I went about it the wrong way. I am very sorry. I will be more careful next time whenever I am unblocked. I promise not to let the reasons for this blockage repeat itself. To @everyone, I sincerely apologize. Thank you in anticipation to a favourable reply.

If it takes your being blocked to "I just realized I went about it the wrong way." then it makes me wonder whether you are ever likely to be a collegial editor. The behaviour, while not irredeemable, has been questionable, to put it mildly. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
