Template update
Oluwa2Chainz, thanks for your recent comment regarding the template update. Can you please confirm where the issues are as it is not completely clear. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afiamarie (talk • contribs) 17:02, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
An award for you!
The Seychellois Barnstar of National Merit | |
For your fantastic, prolific work on Seychelles topics. I've been looking through your work and you're a really amazing editor, your work is so clean and well researched, and you seem to know exactly what is missing and what needs doing. You're the perfect African editor in a way, I wish I could clone you by a few thousand! Keep up the amazing work you do, especially on Seychelles and Nigeria. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC) |
I've revamped the contest page into this, based on the new British model. Long term goal I've added entries you've done since July 1st to launch it and give it some life, hope that's OK. I hope it proves productive long term. The contests are still planned, but will be more tools towards increasing bulk output in overall goal. It's a permanent goal now, and open! If you could list every article you create and improve there from now on with the quick note of what you did and your name I would be grateful! I hope that this will inspire others to create more by recording exactly how much improvement is being made every month to wikipedia! Please spread the word to the others, cheers!♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:23, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Please confirm why you undid a change
Oluwa2Chainz, can you please confirm why you removed the issue of interviewing 19 presidents from the intro... this is a key summary and should have been placed there... also you have not mentioned what are the other issues relating to why you have the issue of promotional content flag at the top, please confirm which part that applies to so it can be removed. Everything is verifiable, but if there is something incorrect please confirm. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afiamarie (talk • contribs) 17:56, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
inconsistencies in wiki page for Novuyo Tshuma
Hello. Yes, I saw you deleted most of my changes. Yes, I realise the part about high school is not referenced. I went to school with Tshuma that's why I added it but without reference you may leave it out. However, there are inconsistencies in the page I tried to fix which were deleted. You in Paradise is actually not a book but a short story. Shadows was published by Kwela Books in South Africa in 2013. Shadows did not make Tshuma to be nominated for Africa39, it does not say that in the sources you referenced. All the writer needed was one published short fiction, that's what it says, even if it's a short story. Many writers with only one published short story made it to Africa39. Tshuma was enlisted into Africa39 for her full body of published work, including the published short fiction she wrote before shadows, and not just for shadows. Those are the inconsistencies I was trying to fix. And Tshuma's full name is Novuyo Rosa Tshuma and not just Novuyo Tshuma. That is what I was trying to fix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Literature123 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
incosistencies in wiki page for Novuyo Tshuma
And also, Tshuma is not currently a Maytag Fellow at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. That was 3 years ago. She has finished her MFA. She is now doing her PhD at the University of Houston - see the University of Houston newsletter here for Fall 2016 under 'new students' - http://www.uh.edu/class/english/programs/graduate/creative-writing/_docs/cwp-newsletter/2016%20CWP%20Newsletter.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Literature123 (talk • contribs) 13:28, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arewa House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Artefacts. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Removal of articles
Hi, can I ask why you removed your articles from the list? I'm guessing the Wiki Loves Women organizers have a problem with it? What we need on this is mutual support and a way to encourage others forward on this. If you don't support this as one of the best editors we have on Africa, then this isn't going to succeed, and long term this could make a huge difference. Email me if you'd rather discuss this offwiki.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I would like to update the article
Good Morning Oluwa2Chainz i would like to make update on this article Kiddominant.. You might be thinking why i changed the template from Template:Infobox musical artist to Template:Infobox person... The reason why i did that, is because when you google "List of Nigeria record producer" or "List of Nigeria music producer", Kiddominant doesn't show on the list on google but if you use Template:Infobox person he is going to be on the list.. I have tried it on DJ Spinall article and it work's on google, the reason why is because Template:Infobox musical artist doesn't have where to fill in citizenship but Template:Infobox person has.. You should google to see for yourself.. An after one month then google "List of Nigeria record producer" or "List of Nigeria music producer" then Kiddominant would be on the list only if we use Template:Infobox person... Let try this an see.--Obari2Kay (talk) 06:52, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Obari2Kay, I'm afraid your rationale for changing the infobox is invalid. Nothing concerns Google with this and as you already know, Kiddominant is a record producer. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 07:01, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- That true Oluwa2Chainz, but i discovered something i would like to share with you.. Just see for yourself bro.--Obari2Kay (talk) 07:09, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

revert on an article
Hi Oluwa2Chainz, I noticed you reverted my edit on the article Fifi Cooper. Yes I've read Infobox:Musical artist and those parameters are optional (especially because they're empty anyway) but I'm not there. What I'm here for is the revert on the parameter "alias". There are plentiful sources (including the official website of Ambitiouz Entertainment) that will confirm that "1st Lady of Motswako" is indeed her "alias".

Apologies
Earlier Today I made certain accusations against you. because I thought you were biased & wanted to punish me for nominating an article on a "mercy johnson" for deletion but the truth is I was wrong , I made a "new editors" mistake, I reviewed changes you made on articles & I must say you aren't biased at all I have suspended my current project until I can find a suitable reference , I would start working on a new one "bobriskyy" I believe is what he is called & I solicit your assistance seeing as you are aware of the entertainment industry in Nigeria. Please reply Thank you Celestina007 (talk) 16:06, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter
Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

Shehu Sani
Actually, it's not promotional in removing inexistent URLs of [2] and [3] which are neither used as a source and not even existing ab initio. Direct to me to any policy or guideline that mandate such ghost URLs to be left.
On the addition I made in external links that's perfectly legitimate. Instead of the ghost URLs I linked to his Official Nigeria's Senate profile the same way as with US senator John McCain's article linked to his profile on US senate website and per WP guideline.
On linking to his Facebook page, that's perfectly legit as entries of US president and Kenya's Raila both linked to their legitimate social media accounts. It also gives readers opportunity to see what Shehu Sani say by himself. It is astonishing to call this advertising or violating neutral perspective

- Actually I stated they're inexistent URLs in the edit summary as this diff will show, and I think that's the essence of ES. However this is by no means to prolong argument as for the Facebook page, I agree. Thank you.
New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
- Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
Technology update:
- The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225
General project update:
- On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
- Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.
- To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.
