Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Please don't add redundant tags

Like you did with Pierre Jerksten by adding {{BLP unsourced}} and {{unsourced}} at the same time, also, when you tag articles with twinkle, it says that you should use {{BLPPROD}} instead. Lil Johnny (talk) 16:59, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Right, thanks. --Mandavi (talk) 17:09, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

April 2017

Hello Mandavi. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Thanks for your note. --Mandavi (talk) 10:59, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

User:KGirlTrucker81 Tijani Luqman Opeyemi seems to be entirely made up though, I checked that before tagging. --Mandavi (talk) 11:03, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

You've should tagged as A11 as more often your CSD tagging was incorrect. KGirlTrucker81 ^{huh? what I've been doing} 11:07, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

I was unsure what to take - A11 states Obviously made up by creator, and no claim of significance which doesn't seem to apply since the article does indeed claim significance by having played in Turkish major leages. It also wasn't obvious to me that the article was made up. And since the only source points to a website where the person isn't even mentioned I tagged it as BLP without sources. --Mandavi (talk) 11:13, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

• I have corrected the review task you began at Nextio. This task requires advance experience and a thorough knowledge of many Wikipedia policies and procedures. Please refrain now from patrolling new pages until you have significantly more experience and have read the extensive tutorials. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page. Thanks.
