Speedy deletion nomination of Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://nscia.com.ng/, https://nscia.com.ng/service/history/, and https://nscia.com.ng/service/objectives/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wikishovel (talk) 18:07, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Ok thanks the article can be deleted, I just found out that there is another article with same subject on Wikipedia. You can also guide me towards deleting the page Umar2z (talk) 18:56, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

Good day, Am not sure of the reason why I was blocked. I wasn't using two accounts on my phone, and the only activities from 27 September 2023 that I know, are trying to teach one of my students how to create a Wikipedia account and also edit on Wikipedia. So we edited the same page at very short time intervals. Also, the student used my mobile phone's hotspot to connect to the internet because she was having a network challenge. These could be the reasons I think might have made my actions look illegal. Am sorry for violating the rules but it wasn't intentional. Here is the link to a program am facilitating for reference purposes https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_SDGs_Campus_Tour_2.0,_Northern_Nigeria Thanks for the understanding. Umar2z (talk) 08:10, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Accept reason:

See below, way below. Drmies (talk) 21:57, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

You emailed me--but why didn't you just ping me here? Drmies (talk) 15:23, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

• Your entire range is swamped with likely socks and certainly paid editors--it comes with the territory. I don't know who your "student" is and I'm not going to check that entire range again (three ranges, actually), and frankly that whole story is a bit odd: if you can tell me specifically which other account, and which page, that might help. But in the end there's also edits like this, in Draft:ASO Savings & Loans, PLC: "The mission of ASO Savings & Loans, PLC is to build mutually profitable relationships anchored on a passion for excellence"--I don't even know if I should assume that you know now how incredibly inappropriate such edits are. As far as I can see, you created Mohammed Jibrin and then the article on the bank he helped run; they were promotional articles, and I suspect WP:UPE.
  So, before anything moves here, explain the student/article by pointing at diffs, and talk about Jibrin and his bank. Drmies (talk) 15:39, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
  • When I created Draft: ASO Savings & Loans, PLC, I was still trying to get better at my edit skills, and as for Mohammed Jibrin He was a runner-up during the 2019 election in Gombe State, I have no affiliate with him rather than just thinking he is notable enough to have an article about him on Wikipedia, but after much training, I get to understand the concept of "Neutral point of view" and notability on Wikipedia. Then, I was still learning about article creation and now I believe am improving. I know it will take a lot to get it right but I believe with more dedication and guidance I will get it right. Thanks for the reply and am sorry for emailing you. Umar2z (talk) 16:01, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
    • I'm asking you to comment on the language you used. Drmies (talk) 22:44, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
    • @Drmies::I apologize for the language I used in that article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:ASO_Savings_%26_Loans,_PLC&action=edit&redlink=1. My intention is to provide accurate and helpful information, and I understand that the tone may not have been suitable. You will also notice that it's been more than six months since I last edited the article since it was moved to my draft. I will make an effort to maintain a more encyclopedic voice in my edits and avoid similar mistakes. Thank you for your feedback. 102.91.72.29 (talk) 11:50, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

    • @Drmies I am still waiting for your reply. thanks Umar2z (talk) 16:33, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
      • Sorry, but unblocking you is not up to me. I put up a note asking for another admin to come have a look. Drmies (talk) 20:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
        • @Drmies thanks for your replies and responses. 102.91.5.2 (talk) 21:00, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

            • @Drmies sorry for pinging you still, but i dont know if you can help me check on the response of the other admin that is to look into my issue.
            • Thanks and kind regards Umar2z (talk) 20:51, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
• Listen--I asked you earlier, "So we edited the same page at very short time intervals"--what page? Can you answer that? Drmies (talk) 21:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
  • @Drmies That was when i thought the reason for me being blocked is because of multiple account action, so I reached out to a more experienced user on why i was blocked, after answering some of his questions we resolved that it was because i use my phone hotspot to connect a student's phone and at the same time edited the same wikipedia page while both our devices share the same IP and different usernames. Only to see that it was based on my article creations which have been in draft several days before the Block. Nasarawa State University is the page i edited last. thank you Umar2z (talk) 20:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
    • What page? What was the student's user name? Drmies (talk) 20:50, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

      @Drmies Nasarawa State University was the page and the student's user name is Ummul masakin. Umar2z (talk) 21:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

OK--here is what I am going to do. I am going to unblock you. BUT: you need to know what no other administrator came here because none of the ones who read my notification seemed to think that there was any benefit to the project in unblocking you. That's a serious concern, and what I think it means for you is that when you get back to editing, you need to do two things. First of all, avoid ANY semblance of paid editing, or editing when you have a conflict of interest. So edit neutrally. That means that even this kind of edit should be avoided, since listing the departments and colleges, without verification, might seem like a promotional edit. Second, clean it up. English is not your first language (it isn't mine either), and I see some problems with punctuation and syntax. That's fine--but be careful with word choice, because for L2 writers it may be more difficult to determine if a word is neutral or not. When in doubt, don't make the edit, or first look and see how words and phrases are used elsewhere (in good articles--not bad ones). OK? Good luck. Drmies (talk) 21:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@Drmiesthanks for the time and consideration. I assure you that I will do my best to improve. Thanks for believing in me Umar2z (talk) 22:10, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Categorisation

Hi and thanks for adding categories to articles. Unfortunately some of the categories you are adding are too broad rather than specific. For example at Miralem Pjanić you added Category:Muslims but the article already had the category Category:Bosnia and Herzegovina Muslims.
