Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Adenike Akinsemolu. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thank you for your input. I am still trying to understand the use of Wikipedia

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Adenike Akinsemolu, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. This is the second warning, please refrain from making edits through multiple IP address to remove COI template as it might get the page deleted or IP address and user accounts being banned.

I am new to Wikipedia and this is not done on purpose. I have made all necessary edits for the article. Please help Zazzysa (talk)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Greenmcbwriter. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Adenike Akinsemolu, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. If you have taken the official portrait of Akinsemolu, it's clear you have some professional connection to her and, thus, a conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 20:11, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

(talk) Thank you for the insightful response. It helps a lot. I am new to Wikipedia, I was trying to upload an image I got from Homaj Schools, one of the subjects sources online, I couldn't upload it. So I read through the files and saw an alternative way to upload. I did not take the official portrait. It was later that I saw an alternative way to cite the other images. It is indeed an honet mistake. I am only trying to write about young people doing great things in my local community and this is my first article. I will like to state I have not been paid for this. I will like you to advise on what to do as I am learning so as not to do the same mistake in the next article I am writing. Thank you
