Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Abdullahi Aliyu Sumaila, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 00:30, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Ahmed Abdullahi Sumaila. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Materialscientist (talk) 00:36, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Aliyu Abdullahi Sumaila. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Materialscientist (talk) 00:38, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Zaibala, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections.

If you are editing as part of a school assignment or class to learn about Wikipedia, please see Wikipedia:Student assignments, and ask your instructor to do so as well. We encourage schools to use Wikipedia in academic settings, as long as they don't interfere with other encyclopedia activities. Thank you. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 07:09, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Makaman Kano Iliyasu moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Makaman Kano Iliyasu, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

You created the article by copying part of the article Jobawa and pasting it into this article, adding a sentence about this individual. Please do not do that.

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. bonadea contributions talk 13:27, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
