Hello Outlaw10. welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Gobonobo and I am an online ambassador for your Writing 101 class.

If you haven't already, I'd like to encourage you to read the Wikipedia:United States Education Program's instructions for students. I can help you become familiar with Wikipedia and work on your assignment. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask.


If you'd like to get acquainted with Wikipedia, you could have a look at:


If you ever need my help, you can get in touch with me...

When asking for help, please remember...

  • Provide a link to the article you are working on (if you are having trouble with a specific issue).
  • Provide a detailed question, so that I can provide the best support I can.
  • Whenever you post on a user's talk page, please remember sign your messages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date, so the other user knows who posted the message, and when.

I hope you and your class enjoy editing here and will be Wikipedians long after this term! Remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Gobōnobo + c 21:25, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Shango shrine in Ibadan

edit

Hi Outlaw10. I see that your topic is the Shango shrine in Ibadan, Nigeria. You might try creating a new article for the shrine. Being unfamiliar with most of the Orisha, I was confused at first as to whether Shango was a historical or mythical figure. Some of your assertions about the deeds and motivations of Shango and his followers are stated as plain fact, but should probably be phrased conditionally by adding modifiers like "According to tradition...", "Shango's followers believe that...", "Oral history relates that..." or something similar. If you have another reference besides Warren & Wolff, it would help establish that the shrine meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. Gobōnobo + c 20:55, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
