Welcome Qafui1987!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 42,208,947 registered editors!

Hello Qafui1987. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

September 2021

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Babajide S. Awobona, from its old location at User:Qafui1987/sandbox/Babajide S. Awobona. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 14:11, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm new at contributing on Wikipedia. I hope to get a hang of it soon. Qafui1987 (talk) 15:17, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Babajide S. Awobona

Hello, Qafui1987. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Babajide S. Awobona".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:29, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 105.112.182.108. I have not used any software or app to block my IP. Not sure why this is happening. Qafui1987 (talk) 13:14, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

That IP is indeed blocked, and proxy blocks are not ones we admins can just lift like that. What you might better do is a) edit from a different device and b) go to WP:IPECPROXY and follow the instructions there to request IP block exemption. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:48, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

(Non-administrator comment) I just noticed that the blocked user Researcherofgreatness is using the exact same wording in his recent unblock request as this user does, namely Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is.... Matuko (talk) 04:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Don't worry about it; this is formula language from the block message that a lot of people in this situation copy and paste. Daniel Case (talk) 06:46, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Norrenberger Group, you removed content without adequately explaining why.
