== AfroCine categories missing in Nigerian language WPs ==

Greetings, [[User:HandsomeBoy|Handsome]] - I'm hoping you're the right one to notify. I found your User name on the current [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Coordinators]] list. In Wikidata, for the item '''[[:d:Q9109399|Category:Cinema of Nigeria]]''' - of the twenty existing language projects (WPs), missing are Yoruba and Igbo, not to mention other African languages. The Yoruba WP page '''[[:yo:Nollywood]]''' hasn't ''any'' category. I do "housekeeping" edits in four African-language WPs (ZU, XH, YO, IG, over 6K altogether, and over 9K edits in Wikidata) but need help with spelling. YoWp has only one admin and some new pages are being created on films - so I thought to ask if you'd kindly take action on behalf of AfroCine. Appreciate this! ''-- Cheers, [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 18:51, 15 October 2018 (UTC)''
:{{u|Deborahjay}}Thanks for your interest in trying to ensure language diversity within Wikimedia projects. Aside being a coordinator for WikiProject Nigeria, I am also one of the regional directors for Wikimedia User Group Nigeria. Last week, I raised this content gap within my local community to see if we had volunteers who are fluent in writing Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba and are willing to translate cinematic content; Fortunately for us, there were numerous volunteers who were willing to partake in the project. But we had one other challenge, they are not very familiar with Wikitext and formatting tables, so I prefer to be there when its being done, even though they wanted to start immediately. I told them to exercise patience since they are all presently based in a different state from me. I wanted it to be part of our meetup activities for the month of October, which will be holding by 23rd and 24th of this month. If no one does it before then, all three Nigerian languages will be done during our October meetup at [[University of Ibadan]]. I'm now based in Lagos but coordinate activities for [[Ibadan]] community as that's my alma-mater.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 21:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

== Hello there! ==
Hello bro! And thanks for the invite. Can you add me cos I am new to Wikipedia and don’t know my way around very much :) May be that’s why I have fallen into trouble with so many ppl on here. LOL
Cheers [[User:Ppdallo|Ppdallo]] ([[User talk:Ppdallo|talk]]) 15:46, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
:Its great to hear from you {{u|Ppdallo}}, let me formally welcome you to Wikipedia. I hope you find this place friendly and decide to stay here. We need more Nierian editors on Wikipedia, and since you are interested in Hausa articles, I'm guessing you can speak the language as well. Joining [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria]] is quite easy, what you need to do is to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nigeria#Participants click here], then click edit on the "participant" section that you will be led to; after that edit the list, and add your account by using the four tiles that you used to sign your posts. If you have questions, please feel free to ask me. I'll be very very glad to assist, that is why I'm here.

:On the toxic nature of your first experience, the thing is anyone can edit Wikipedia, so regular editors who ensure the encyclopaedia is free from [[WP:vandalism|vandalism]] might seem unfriendly but I can assure you that once you understand the rudiments of editing, you'll enjoy the friendliness among editors in the community. I don't want you to see it as "trouble", its more of the learning curve that most new editors go through. I'm glad you're still jovial about it, a good sense of humour and not taking unfriendly experiences such as this too seriously might come in handy. Above all, remember to ask me anything you aren't too sure about. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 20:54, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks for your soothing and encouraging words {{u|HandsomeBoy}} and I am glad having someone like you to hold my hand during my tottering steps through Wikipedia. I believe in free, genuine information and its copious availability to all. Yes I speak the Hausa language very well and hope I will be of use in that and many other regards.Thanks once again! [[User:Ppdallo|Ppdallo]] ([[User talk:Ppdallo|talk]]) 06:09, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I have been able to be of help. Happy editing. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 20:51, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

== '''AfroCine:''' The Months of African Cinema Continues…. ==

Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|Months of African Cinema]]'' global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

*Article suggestions can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Article Suggestions|here]]. You can also add to this list.
*Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Reliable Sources|here]]. Again, this list needs expansion.
*Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Loves Women/Occupations|Occupation Drive]], which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
*Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema#Article achievements|Article Achievements]] section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--[[User:Jamie Tubers|Jamie Tubers]] ([[User talk:Jamie Tubers#top|talk]]) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the [[User talk:Ronhjones|bot owner]] if you have any questions, or you can ask them at [[Wikipedia talk:Non-free content]]. See [[User:RonBot]] for info on how to not get these messages. [[User:RonBot|RonBot]] ([[User talk:RonBot|talk]]) 18:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

* {{ping|Dl2000}} I corrected an error in the article. The winner of next rated category as documented in reliable sources is [[Sean Tizzle]], not [[Burna Boy]]. The edit summary error was meant for the error in the article, not the aftermath of my edit. Due to prolonged and slow internet issues, I copied the Wikitext so as to click paste and publish the moment some connection is established. I was supposed to be editing a section. Please in case of next time, I prefer normal text reply, than automated ones. Thanks. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 01:04, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
** OK, so an unintended [[WP:BATHWATER]] edit. The table should now read Sean Tizzle as category winner. If you continue to have a bad web connection, it may be useful to do an extra preview of the article after an edit to make sure there is no unintended damage to infoboxes, categories, etc. [[User:Dl2000|Dl2000]] ([[User talk:Dl2000|talk]]) 02:06, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

== Conflicting reports ==

Hi HandsomeBoy and compliments of the season. As an experienced editor, I was wondering if you have an idea of what one can do when multiple reliable sources report different things about an essential part of a subject life.
Say the Punch reports that he died in Abuja, Guardian says he died in US and other sources say either of the two. With warm regards, [[User:Mahveotm|Mahveotm]] ([[User talk:Mahveotm|talk]]) 17:02, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Mahveotm}} Thanks for reaching out. This is a critical one. Sourcing is central to information on Wikipedia, and anything that involves it is usually quite sensitive. Personally, I need more context to be able to provide an appropriate answer. There are some situations that I'll state what source A said, and what source B said the way it was made. In some other situations, I'll ignore one source, and lean towards another. In some other cases, I'll even remove the entire information from Wikipedia and disregard both sources. So for me, I think it depends.

:A combination of issues emanating from convenience, subscription and computing concerns are responsible for my late reply. Apologies for that. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 21:57, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
::Sorry for just getting back. [[WP:VOLUNTEER|real life got some toll on me too!]]. I do hope you're doing well. As regards the subject of discussion, the article is [[Chukwudifu Oputa]] which I created - I think last week. I eventually removed the place of death from the article entirely. Funny thing is another source reported that he died in US or so. Others were having difficulties subtracting date of death from date of birth to determine age (go through some of the refs, you'd see what I'm talking about)😂😂!! Away from Wiki, I trust you're great!! [[User:Mahveotm|Mahveotm]] ([[User talk:Mahveotm|talk]]) 01:44, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Mahveotm}} Surprised there wasn't an article for him before now. At least, I should expect all chief justice of supreme courts to have a Wikipedia article almost immediately they are sworn in, not to talk of one that was there in the 80s, and also played a key role in investigating human right abuse during the military era. So back to your observation, I'm even more concerned that most of the reliable sources claim he was 96 when he died, despite getting his birth year correctly, I wonder if this is case of not being able to perform basic arithmetic operation, lazy journalism (considering the replication) or mere oversight on the path of the publishers and editors [https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/last-supreme-courts-golden-era-justice-oputa-dies-96/ 1], [https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/160130-justice-chukwudifu-oputa-dead.html 2], [https://www.channelstv.com/2014/05/04/justice-oputa-dies-at-96/ 3]. Whichever way, its a reflection of the poor standard of journalism. As for his place of death, I'll lean to Abuja, the sources I could find even went into detail on how the building he died and how he just returned from the US. Good job creating the article!

Hello, HandsomeBoy. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Barakat Quadre|Barakat Quadre]]".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

== [[Covenant University]] ==

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch about my tag on [[Covenant University]]. My issue was that there sometimes seems to be a gap between what the sources say and the wording used in the article.
* For instance, the article says Covenant is the "highest ranked Nigerian university in the world universities ranking of the Times Higher Education". The source says "Covenant University is one of the leading universities in Africa ... The Nigerian Universities Commission named it the best private university in Nigeria in its 2018 rankings and the 6th best university overall". Those aren't the same things.
* Another example: the article says "Techcabal rated Covenant University as having the best software developers in Nigeria". The source actually says that Covenant is one of the universities mentioned as having the largest number of ex-students working in coding. It specifically does not mention it as the best: "that’s not what this list is about", and although Covenant is listed first, the list is "in no particular order".
* And one more: article says "It was the most sought-after private school in 2014" and gives two sources. Both list all universities with their application numbers. There are a number of universities listed with higher application numbers. It may well be that Covenant has the highest applications for private universities, but the source doesn't say that or indicate which universities are private, and working it out from the list is straying into original research.

I was also a bit troubled by the paragraph about the pro-chancellor: "qualitative pursuit of her vision and mission" sounds weaselly to me, and is not sourced. And the word "feat" is not neutral.

I also noticed that the article correctly says that Covenant won the Nigerian section of the CFA Institute Research challenge, but does not say where it came in the global finals - whcih suggested to me that the article was less than neutral.

Finally, I wondered whether the "Recent Developments" section gives undue weight to the various rankings and praise for the university, in comparison to the info about the courses, which is minimal, and the sentence at the end about lawsuits and criticism. I'm sure it's not your and other editors' intention but the length of the Recent Developments compared to the rest of the article does make it feel promotional.

Feel free to remove the tag, and thanks for your work on the article and elsewhere in Wikipedia. [[User:Tacyarg|Tacyarg]] ([[User talk:Tacyarg|talk]]) 17:43, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
::Thanks for the well-thought and properly communicated reply. I'll work on each of your suggestions and get back to you. I'm more concerned about the article being very encyclopaedic than removing the tag.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:43, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

== The usage of Moreover ==

Hi HandsomeBoy, 
I don't think the usage of the word "Moreover" in that instance is wrong. Having said that, I believe you worded the sentence better. Thanks. [[User:Versace1608| Versace'''1608''' ]] [[User Talk:Versace1608|''Wanna Talk''?]] 21:32, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

== Veteran Nollywood Icons ==

Hey, it’s been a minute & It’s good to you holding your own excellently. Please assist me here, there are very few editors who are as interested in in the nollywood industry as you & I, so I was thinking yeah. Could you please suggest to me certain veteran nollywood stars who are yet to have an article included in the encyclopedia maybe one or two so I could create articles for them. I keep trying to remember their names but for the life of me I can’t. Their faces I know in my mind but their names clearly have eluded my memory. Cheers [[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 08:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
:So glad to see you active again {{u|Celestina007}}. You are one of the few female volunteers in [[WP:WikiProject Nigeria]] who are sincerely passionate towards the improvement of Wikipedia and I appreciate you for that. Even when we had our differences, I always knew you had good intentions. Speaking about our WikiProject, I have a lot of ideas in my head concerning how we can take it to the next level, especially on retaining consistent and knowledgeable editors, but I just need to properly structure and situate it before posting a release for review and implementation.

:Back to the request, I am glad to know that you have friends who are interested in being Wikipedians and contribute to cinema-related contents. Please if they need on-wiki assistance, please let them feel free to reach me. I will be glad to put them through the editing process. Considering your ethnic background, I think you will have little interest in Yoruba veterans, so I will limit my recommendations to the ones from the east. What comes to my head at this moment are: [[Rita Nzelu]], [[Susan Patrick]] (was the "snakegirl" in ''Sakobi''), [[Gloria Young]], [[Steph Nora Okereke]], [[Becky Ngozi Okorie]] (Karachika), [[Rita Edochie]], [[Ndidi Obi]], etc. Some of them may not clearly pass GNG, due to the fact that they starred in films that was produced in the 1990s, but due to the significance of their roles to the development of [[Nollywood]] I believe they pass [[WP:ACTOR]] easily. When I remember more, I will inform you. Once again, thank you for your dedication. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:45, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
:: I’m sure any idea you think of or currently thinking of would be perfect. Thanks for the names i’d start with [[Rita Nzelu]]. It’s a shame veteran actors aren’t given the recognition they deserve. [[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 18:03, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
:::Thank you {{u|Celestina007}}. I'll also join you to improve the article when it hits mainspace. Also, [[Grace Amah]] comes to mind...[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 22:33, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello {{u|HandsomeBoy}}, warm greetings to you and complements of the season. I have been following you most recently after I stumbled upon you on a related article I contributed to and ever since, I quite very often notice your name pop up most times while contributing to Nollywood notable names and veterans included. I joined Wikipedia back in 2015, even though not very active, but averagely up until my account was blocked for reasons clearly stated which I learnt my lessons and moved on whilst ensuring all instructions are strictly adhered moving on. This is where I stumbled upon the quiet, decisive and supportive {{u|Celestina007}} whom I have been meaning to talk to on her page like this, for like forever now, but here we are. I see you dear Labutnum, I appreciate you and admire you greatly and immensely for all you do here and elsewhere on wikipedia. I appreciate you. The very two Wikipedians I admire in one place. How hearth warming this is for me. Summarily, I love Nigerian cinema-related content and its practitioners a whole lot and will like to be here for good, abiding by all rules and will also love to be both of your friends. Warmest regards to you both. Love, [[User:Don VN|Don VN]] ([[User talk:Don VN|talk]]) 07:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
::{{ping|Don VN}} Awwwwn. Thank you for the nice words, really appreciate. But hope admins will not have an issue with creating a new account? Is that allowed? Don't you think you should request to get unblocked in your original account? [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 11:02, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
:::I will be most delighted to have the account back though its be quite a very very long time ago and if only I can still have access and remember the login details. I will be most delighted. I will keep you posted on this once am able to so you could assist with the procedure for unblock request which seemed much of a task at that time. Best wishes always, [[User:Don VN|Don VN]] ([[User talk:Don VN|talk]]) 11:42, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
::Hello {{u|HandsomeBoy}}, longest time no hear. I have been through thick and thin the past months but, am glad am finally bnack again at this. The experiences where harrowing in those moments and thank goodness am still here breathing. Trust you have been great and everything is good with you. Hello {{u|Celestina007}}, warm greetings to you here also. Cheers. [[User:Don VN|Don VN]] ([[User talk:Don VN|talk]]) 03:20, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

== GREETINGS ==

Hi' am [[user:f5pillar|@f5pillar]]. New boy here and in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria]] I created this article [[Umaru Sanda Ndayako]], pls check if it's ''OK''
::Greetings {{ping|f5pillar}}, its great to hear from you. I'm always excited when I interact with an editor interested in improving Nigerian contents on Wikipedia. There is this sense of dejavu I feel about my early days here, and the need for proper induction. going through the article, I think its a great start. Subject is definitely notable. However, a few redlinks should be blue, and some formatting needs to be done to conform to the manual of style. Overall, its a good start! Just to mention that I did a little formatting on your post to aid readability. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:23, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi HandsomeBoy, 
Can you please take a look at the Davido article and tell me what you think. I have expanded it quite drastically and will be nominating it for GA pretty soon. I also plan on submitting it for copyediting. I remember we both were going to work on bringing it to GA.

Hey, hi checkout this page [[BetKing]], I create and you can help me do some check up for some errors 00:15, 25 December 2019 (UTC) — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:F5pillar|F5pillar]] ([[User talk:F5pillar#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/F5pillar|contribs]]) 
::{{ping|F5pillar}} when it comes to for-profit organizations, the criteria N:CORPDEPTH is quite stringent. I saw you implied that since Bet9ja is notable, BetKing should be too. I just want to say that references aside, Bet9ja are the biggest online gambling site in Nigeria, both in terms of revenue, popularity and registered users. I have a friend who manages one of their account, and I'm aware they have more than 4 billion naira as capital. Note that this is just one of their accounts as they have many. Also, Betking are quite new in the industry.

== Requests for uncreated articles ==

Greetings & a great weekend to you all. I believe it would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities. Sent by {{noping|Celestina007}}.

::{{ping|Celestina007}} Thank you so much for this thoughtful broadcast. I have been highly impressed with your improved expertise this past few months. Personally, I will begin work on the new articles list immediately. I always feel like we don't have enough experienced active editors to fully launch completely on-wiki editing projects, but notwithstanding that doesn't mean the article creation count should remain stagnant. I have simply prioritized training/encouragement over individual editing. Once again, thank you for this post. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 20:13, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
:::Oh my! thanks for the kind words. Honestly speaking, the rate at which honest Nigerian experienced editors are going inactive is very worrisome coupled with the rate at which Nigerian paid editors are multiplying is very disturbing but nonetheless I see some potential in some of our new editors. Oh well, that aside I have gone head to create the [[Beverly Osu]] article & I hope other editors go ahead to devote time in creating other pending articles listed there.[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 20:28, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Celestina007}} I agree with everything you've said. Which is why in every of my training, I always make that point very clear to all the participants so that they can know what it takes to be a Wikipedian and not waste their time if they don't buy into the vision. Thanks for creating an article for Beverly, surprised she didn't have an article already. I too have just created one for [[Mohammed Balarabe Haladu]] :) I also removed the clearly non-notable entries from the list.

== Royalty infobox in Efunsetan Aniwura ==

Hi HandsomeBoy. You used the royalty infobox for the article [[Efunsetan Aniwura]] and subsequently the category "roylaty" has been added. It has now been translated into Portuguese and the author has added the royalty "category". Yet, nothing in the text indicates that she is royal and from what I have read, an Iyalode is not a royal. So my question is whether you merely used the infobox as a suitable one in which to include the details. Looking forward to your reply, regards, [[User:Rui Gabriel Correia|Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia]] ([[User talk:Rui Gabriel Correia|talk]]) 00:57, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

== Subject with multiple articles ==

Hi H, how do you think [[Ndowa N Lale|this]] and [[Ndowa E.S Lale|this]] should be sorted.
[[User:Mahveotm|Mahveotm]] ([[User talk:Mahveotm|talk]])
:{{ping|Mahveotm}} Both articles need to be [[WP:MERGE|merge]] into a single page. If you need me to help with the merger, I can. I meant to ask you, is everything okay? I noticed you blanked your userpage and talk page and never responded to the message I left for you at [[Talk:Eni Balogun]] before said article was deleted. [[User:Versace1608| Versace'''1608''' ]] [[User Talk:Versace1608|''Wanna Talk''?]] 16:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

::: Regards, [[User:Mahveotm|Mahveotm]] ([[User talk:Mahveotm|talk]]) 20:25, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
:: yeah just like {{u|Versace1608}} said I left some jovial messages on Mahveotm’s tp sometime late last year or early this year but never got a response, rather he blanked his entire tp & never bothered to acknowledge nor respond to me i was even going to send him a private mail later in the day to ask if everything was alright or perharps if I have transgressed against him unknowingly as this isn’t Mahveotm’s usual jolly jovial nature & even of recent when we do interact he addresses me in an unpleasant manner but I understand these things do happen & perharps in one way or another I probably have offended him unknowingly.[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 16:42, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Mahveotm}} I just completed the merger. Do you think the article should be move to Ndowa Lale? I don't think the subject's middle initial is relevant here.

[[User:Versace1608| Versace'''1608''' ]] [[User Talk:Versace1608|''Wanna Talk''?]] 15:27, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::: You beat me to it. In deciding where to move it to, I considered three factors. Number one, was the recency in the creation of both articles, two was the appropriateness and depth in the articles. And finally the stance on WP:COMMONNAME on both names. I find Ndowa E.S Lale to be created one day before Ndowa N Lale. I can also see that unlike the latter which had more than 50% of its content in tables, it had more sentences, which is closer to what an encyclopaedia should be. Finally, A google search on both names showed that Ndowa E.S Lale is more used. But I have to agree with Versace that the most appropriate name for the article should be "Ndowa Lale" which had [https://www.google.com/search?q=ndowa+lale&client=ubuntu&hs=2ow&channel=fs&sxsrf=ALeKk02ja8KiDpCaZbXwATC7BPwl4chG3A:1588192643367&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiywN7Svo7pAhVqTRUIHZovC5AQ_AUoBHoECBIQBg 367 Google news results] as against the [https://www.google.com/search?q=ndowa+E.S+lale&client=ubuntu&channel=fs&sxsrf=ALeKk03OoLrnf_N53fPjajkaq1GZMUhmQw:1588192896788&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjlhMrLv47pAhWiSxUIHZYjAJIQ_AUoA3oECAwQBQ&biw=1301&bih=639 3 results] from "Ndowa E.S Lale".

If you are no longer interested in pursuing this nomination, either follow those steps or let me know, and I'll take care of it for you.

[[User:Josedimaria237|Josedimaria237]] ([[User talk:Josedimaria237|talk]]) 16:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
::I intended to add one of the images so you can follow the same steps for the other pages. The important thing to remember is that they will be added under the fair-use rationale, since you are not the author of the images. If you don't want to attempt to make the addition yourself, just keep me some time. I will add them soon. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 23:48, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
{{ping|HandsomeBoy}} Ok, just do them when you are ready.

== Thank you very much ==

I am indeed happy for the way you have notified me, I am noted and I will contribute towards improving wikipedia and protecting the policy.

A tag has been placed on [[:Ayuko Babu]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not [[Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance|credibly indicate]] how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about [[Wikipedia:Notability|what is generally accepted as notable]].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Ayuko Babu|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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Ayuko+Babu|deleting administrator}}.

:::{{u|ChuksJD}}, I don’t mean to sound rude or abrasive but I only converse in ''Nigerian English'' with Nigerian editors who I trust & /or are my friends, you don’t meet any of the criterions as of now so please stick to American English for now so other editors can understand our conversation. The article in question is an autobiography & the fact that you denying the obvious is doubling down & is hurting your reputation. I have no grudges against you, in-fact, the person you just reported me to, who is now a good friend of mine, nominated a couple of my articles for deletion when I begun editing 4 years ago, he didn’t have any ''grudges'' against me, but was only weeding out what he thought was non-notable, it’s nothing personal. Please Read [[WP:AUTO]] & [[WP:COI]].

== Isn’t This The Weirdest Problem? ==

It suddenly hit me to create a standalone article for [[Olumba Olumba]] the self proclaimed “God” but during a prerequisite research on the individual before article creation, I had a great epiphany as I observed both father & son bore the exact same name. There was no Sr or Jr to differentiate the father from the son as both were referred to as Olumba Olumba, I’m in a fix now, I intend to create an article on the son (the light skinned, tall and big Olumba Olumba) and not his father(the dark skinned, short and petit Olumba Olumba) & do not even know how to go about that now, reliable sources do not even differentiate one from the other(some do though, by calling the son “Rowland” but per COMMONNAME, his name should be Olumba Olumba) this sort of wahala is why i presume as notable as they are, they don’t have biographical articles on them. Our predecessors, probably faced this challenge and decided it probably wasn’t worth the stress, & the closest thing to articles on them is an article on their spiritual movement named [[Brotherhood of the Cross and Star]], where two sections in the article have a biography for father & son, do you think it is best as it currently is? keeping in mind that both qualify for standalones?
Padi mi wetin you reason? because, on God “this kind thing I never see o” yup! In Wizkid’s voice. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 19:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}} You really crack me up with those ending lines. I really love your choice of articles. You have a way of adding content in areas that are important, yet most Nigerians won't think of them. I literally had to get a dictionary to know the meaning of some of the words you use, you write so well now, compared to when you first came on Wikipedia :). If I were to create this article, I will make the topic about the name '''Olumba Olumba Obu''', rather than it being explicitly for either the father or the son since I found a source that states that they have same name[https://www.pulse.ng/communities/religion/olumba-olumba-5-things-you-need-to-know-about-brotherhood-of-the-cross-and-star/hd1jnje 1]. Nonetheless, I will create sections for both the father and the son. This will also aid continuity, in that after the demise of the son, the next leader of the sect may also have same name, so it can be divided into something like first generation, second generation, etc. (or something similar) This is if your reason for wanting to write only about the son isn't a strong one. May I ask why you are only interested in writing an article for only son? For the non-BLP, I would normally start along this lines - '''''Olumba Olumba Owu is a name that has been used to refer to the leader of "xxxxxxx"....''''' OR '''''Olumba Olumba Owu is a name that originally referred to the founder of xxxxx, it is now used by his son and successor...'''''. Then I will have sections with infoboxes for both father and son. This is just what I would do if I were in your shoes, and not really a guideline. To be fair, I am probably as confused as you are in this odd situation (never seen anything like this). But if you want to stick to just the son, then I guess you can disambiguate with their DOB, such as [[Olumba Olumba Owu (born 19xx)]]. You're doing a nice job on Wikipedia, and I am really pleased to have met someone you on this platform, cheers to many more years of collaborating towards free knowledge. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 21:16, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
:: Thanks for the kind words presido. I’ve been teaching the English language since I was 16-19 as a private home tutor. On my choice of article creations, It’s probably my affinity for the Occult. I can’t say exactly why I want to create an article for the light-skinned Olumba Olumba it’s probably arbitrary though or perhaps because he is the Olumba Olumba I’m accustomed to. The problem is Olumba Olumba Obu isn’t a title but a name, but like you rightfully said it’s slowly becoming a title, so although making it into a title does make sense, at the same time I can’t say why it doesn’t seat well with me. Arggghhh this shit got me fucked up anyway by 8pm or thereabout I’d take a decision and proceed with the article creation. This is by far the most complicated article I’m about to create. Although, I think I know exactly how to create the article now. I’m equally super pleased to have met you also, yourself, {{u|Versace1608}}, {{u|Jamie Tubers}}, & Mahveotm pretty much shaped me into what I’m morphed into. God I was one stubborn 'son' of a bitch back in 2016. Ehen, that reminds me, I’ve been asking you to come watch me play basketball at Ndubisi Kanu park at Alausa but you don turn big man & you no get my time bah? No wahala. lmao '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 17:41, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
:::Don't be too hard on yourself, I was even worse. Although mine was not really as a result of being a newbie, but a negative reaction to how certain things were being done on Wikipedia. I am also glad the experience has definitely made me a better person. On the article, whatever you decide, I will surely contribute to it. Have you watched Living in Bondage 2? If you haven't, please do. It is a properly made film that gave an appealing angle to the Occult. What I have noticed about the occult in Nigeria is that the perpetrators are only motivated by their quest for dominion and oppression towards others. This makes it difficult for people to take them seriously in this part of the world. Speaking about Versace, he is likely to return early next year, I think everyone should take a break from Wikipedia occasionally, and can understand why he chooses to. You both combine well in fighting vandalism and combating COI editors. I definitely love to meet my Wikipedia friends, the thing is I work in a corporate environment from Monday till Friday, and on Sundays, I am normally in Church for almost the entire day "covers face". I have only Saturday to do my laundry, ironing, etc. And you know how Lagos traffic can get, but I will really consider this when we take our Christmas break next month. But I am not a big man o, when we meet, you will understand what I am saying. Fun fact: I am completely introverted in real life.

== Joy Duru ==

Everipedia allows a wider breadth of images: https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/joy-duru
I migrated the article there today, even though it seems likely the article will return to Wikipedia. The EV article might take a little bit for it to show in Google search results.

Do you have any interest in collaborating on or creating a Nigeria initiative similar to the others listed here [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force/Current-Initiatives|Current Initiatives]]. It could potentially be in partnership / cross-listed with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria|WP Nigeria]] and [[Wikipedia: WikiProject Women in Red|Women in Red]]?

:{{ping|Hmlarson}} I am very much interested, we can make this the most comprehensive encyclopaedia on women's football. I also have contacts of some persons in NWFL media department, they may be interested if we can get someone to put them through. I am confident they will like anything that will improve the visibility of NWFL Premiership. We can also use the absurdity of the notability requirement for women's footballer on Wikipedia as a selling point on why Evripedia is a great alternative. But more importantly, I really hope Evripedia will have a continuous gradual growth. I read that a top official resigned to form something similar, that is my fear. I don't want to dedicate so much time into something that may not stand the test of time. I tried to create an account some years back, but was not allowed, probably because it was in a beta stage. I might not be able to immensely contribute immediately, but I certainly do have some time during the course of the year. I am also very used to editing with wikitext/mediawiki I hope transitioning into something else may not be too different. Thank you for your work!

Once we fill this out a little more, we can share with related projects and announce on the [[WP:WOSO]] talk page. If you know of NWFL players that do not have a national team cap but have significant news coverage, can you add them to the NWFL players list? We can also add articles that need upgrades here.

== Annoying as hell ==

Isn’t it very annoying when you discover certain veteran actors like [[Chika Anyanwu]], [[Becky Okorie]] (Karashika) & the lot of other veterans don’t have biographical articles because they are “old school” & from the “old Nollywood” whereas this “New Nollywood” rugrats all have biographical articles? Hurts to see the veterans getting marginalized with the introduction of the so-called “New Nollywood”. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 18:25, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}} I can't agree less with you. That is why we need to contextualize sources when interpreting GNG. Their only crime is not being active in the internet era, plus the "third world" factor. I remember Karachika, and I know how much it was a big deal in the good old days (mid 90s). I will add them to AfroCine suggestion page, and they would definitely be created latest by AfroCine 2021. Digitization of old newspaper prints is also an effective way of remediating this age-long dilemma.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 09:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
::Thanks big man, id be more than delighted to see that happen. Do you remember the sound track of the Karashika movie?? Shit Still scares me till date. It’s just a matter of time, I believe eventually there would be a remake of the movie, I can swear Charles Okpaleke & Ramsey Noah are already planning that as we speak.

''Karashika...karashika queen of darkness, lucifer...lucifer, queen of demons...Karashika...karashika queen of darkness, lucifer...lucifer, queen of demons...''...then it continues to a faster pace....That was one epic soundtrack! Speaking about Ramsey and Okpaleke. I have seen LIB and Nneka, and I really enjoyed both, good value for my money. Wanted to see Rattlesnake, but it had stopped showing at the cinema when I was ready. I wonder which actress can play the role of Karashika effectively if there were to be a remake, probably an upcoming actress...call me nostalgic, but I need that scary vibe again.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 18:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
::::who would play Karashika ba? I’d put my money on Sharon Ooja or Adesua, Adesua actually looks like Becky Okorie, I literally cant think of anyone else. I haven’t seen Ahanna or Nneka yet I’m afraid of social gatherings so I’d chill till it’s available for download on the internet. Can you imagine the immense fortune Charles & Ramsey are gonna make off the remake of Karashika?

== Notability ==

Hi Handsomeboy, Nice work you’re doing here at Wiki. I just wanted to discuss with you about a comment you made on another talk page “ Big Brother Naija fans don't get that popularity is not notability. Even Erica is not yet notable, until she features in more notable films. HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)”

I find it weird that you don’t think Erica has gained notability meanwhile, Laycon and Prince both have viable pages. Erica even had a more robust portfolio prior to BB Naija.

And if you Check it, Hire a Woman has its own Wiki page and is also streaming on Netflix. In my opinion, that is notable enough.

Also, when you google "Met Film School Alumni" see what pops up.

When you check on Big brother America housemates, even a non-winner like Diane Henry and Erika Landin both have Wiki pages despite only being known for only big brother. I don't get why only Naija's own has to be very stringent.[[User:Kemmiiii|Kemmiiii]] ([[User talk:Kemmiiii|talk]]) 04:29, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
::@{{u|Kemmiiii}}, forum shopping/meeting the other parent wouldn’t help you. This is probably the fourth editor you have met pertaining this Erica Nlewedim issue would you stop already or would you prefer a block from editing here ever again? '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 05:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I only talked to the editors involved in deleting the page last year. And I only just noted that @Handsomeboy made a passing comment about her.

== Draft:Dremo ==

Hi, HandsomeBoy.
Trust you are doing great today.
I'd like to request that you have a look at my draft at [[Draft:Dremo]] and please offer me feedback on it.
Warm regards. [[User:Mondayudowong|Mondayudowong]] ([[User talk:Mondayudowong|talk]]) 08:56, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
:Hello {{u|Mondayudowong}}, thank you for reaching out. This is my honest opinion, independent of the creator or the reviewer. While [[The Headies]] is a notable music award that automatically confers notability to nominated/winning artistes in its main categories, "Rookie of the Year" has the least tendency of its nominees getting significant coverage in reliable sources or passing WP:MUSICBIO, this is because musicians in this category are usually new entrants into the music industry, with no previous professional experience. As for City People music awards, while it does not confer notability like Headies, it does help in assessing notability, especially for winners, so I will say it does seem early for me to comfortably say that he passes the notability criteria, remember that his first album (not EP) was in 2020, so maybe a little more review on his songs or another album will make him pass [[MUSICBIO]]. For now, I am on the side of the previous reviewer, I don't think he is ready yet.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 19:07, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

== As baffling as they come ==

How “[[Iyke Nathan Uzorma]]” , you know the guy right? That authored “[[Occult Grandmaster Now In Christ]]” has very few mentions on the Internet is something perplexing & nigh-unbelievable for someone who was arguably the most talked about individual in 1993, do you remember the amount of buzz that himself & that book had? I think I blame it on social media or the internet not being available in Nigeria until 1998, whereas the book was published in 1993. I’m not sure how to go about this, google books don’t give much, google scholar doesn’t give much either, google itself doesn’t give much, anyway, I think I’d perform another deep web search tonight & see how that goes.

::{{ping|Celestina007}} When I was much younger, I can remember reading a book on a Nigerian man who claimed to be second in command to lucifer before "repenting" to embrace Christianity but I can't remember the name of the person. Maybe it is Iyke, but it is also possible that multiple persons had similar narrations especially when you consider that spiritual conspiracy theories was quite marketable in the mid 90s through early 2000s. I am not saying this didn't happen, just trying to explain why the book I read could be about someone else. Back to digital penetration in Nigeria, it is amazing to know that social media was around in 1998, I thought it came to Nigeria much later than that (like mid 2000s).

Are you following the news of the Feminist coalition(femco) embezzlement of the #EndSars funds? I really don’t believe the story is true despite over a dozen professional crypto/digital currency experts say they did so, if its true, then it’s really true what that senator said about Nigerian youths “Those who are waiting to steal(''in regards to political corruption'') are more than those who are currently stealing” '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 18:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}} Honestly, you are the first person I am hearing this one. I agree with you that there is more to the story, I can't also rule out the possibility that the Nigerian government is trying to make Feminist Coalition lose its credibility among Nigerian youths.

::Yes, there indeed was a Nigerian government involvement theory, it’s a plausible theory(''I’m not sure how though'') but if we are being pragmatic, objective and excluding emotional sentiments, it wasn’t the Nigerian government who clandestinely made the withdrawal of $51,000, they did, & that withdrawal was shady for an organization that was built on the “''rock''” of ''transparency'' and ''accountability'' if not for the whale move alert, Rx and external bodies notifying Nigerians about the withdrawal, we would have been oblivious of the withdrawal. Their evidence rebutting any financial malpractice only made them look even more guilty as their statements were blatant factual inaccuracies. This is a bitter pill to swallow as all Nigerians benefited from the organizations effort in putting a stop to police brutality in Nigeria. I should also add that in my opinion, & technically speaking, it’s “''their money''” so the withdrawal although shady isn’t the problem(for me) but why they deemed it fit to lie is what i fail to comprehend.

:::I agree with everything you said apart from your last statement. It is '''''not''' their'' money, people contributed for a course. And that alone should be what the funds must be used for in a transparent and open manner. Anything else is financial misappropriation.

::::I agree with you, i’m not sure there’s a fixed or close ended response to if or not the money is theirs, which is why objectively speaking I can see how they or people may feel ''it’s theirs''. An example every Nigerian or anyone living in Nigeria can relate to would be this; a clergyman announces to his congregation that the church intends to acquire a new fixed asset and has a budget of ''abc'' & and proceeds to ask them for anonymous financial donations to achieve the purpose, in the end, the purpose is achieved but then the clergyman discovers an excess of an ''xyz'' amount, technically speaking, the clergyman man does have ''to a certain degree'', leeway to optimize the funds as they deem fit & even if they were sanctimonious and wanted to refund the excess, the donations were ''anonymously made'' thus making it a ''mission impossible'' to do so, that analogy mirrors exactly what happened in this case. of course it is an opinion of a particular school of thought which could be very flawed, unsound and invalid in the philosophical stance of the next person, but yes, as much as it hurts me to say because we all benefited from the [[Feminist Coalition]] one way or another, and the most obvious being the police brutality in Nigeria has significantly reduced they indeed erred by performing that shady transaction. I appreciate the fact that your opinion is that they engaged in ''financial misappropriation''(which is also the opinion of most Nigerians) well except for the members of the ehhh, what did [[Segun Awosanya|Segalink]] call them??? Ahem, yes, except for the members of the [https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/53286468.amp ''COVEN'']. I agree with you that there’s going to be another major “protest” which imo is just a ''cash grab'' in the guise of “protesting”/“Activism” before 2024, in fact of recent, I’m beginning to doubt the genuineness of this modern day so called activists, there’s literally always an angle, if it isn’t the back door financial rewards, it’s the political positions they may get, if it isn’t that, then it’s the fame(we saw how they all cashed in on their fame to ''open businesses'', ''start musical careers'' , ''rejuvenate musical careers'', ''get verified blue ticks on their Twitter accounts'' & even attempted to get ''autobiographical/biographical Wikipedia articles'' on themselves had we not been vigilant enough to negate their attempts). In any case, despite my gratitude to them for reducing police brutality significantly, I’ve added the information on their Wikipedia article.

== Tinubu's Age ==
So apparently [[Oluremi Tinubu]](Tinubu’s wife) is suddenly older than [[Bola Tinubu|Tinubu]]? Lmaooooooo, nahhhh fuck it, in my Next life I’d still choose to live in Nigeria. Impossible things happen here regularly. I’ve laughed so hard I’m literally tearing up, Hahahahaha, Tinubu’s first daughter should be 58-60 and he still claims to be 69? Hahahahaha fuck it g, so basically yeah, Mandem was out here impregnating women at age 9-11??. I love this country. It’s as if Tinubu just got tired of of his current age and just decided to be 69 & made every media outlet declare his new age. But of course we all know it’s because of 2023. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 19:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}}If there is one thing I have learnt from being a Wikipedian, it is not to make my emotions dictate my decisions. I am not a fan of Tinubu, I think he is one of the major problems in Nigeria, but I really want to base my beliefs and positions on evidence rather than naysay. If Tinubu has reduced his age, then at what point did he reduce it, considering that his presidential ambition only started less than a decade ago. He has been on the political scene for quite a while, so it won't be difficult to get his reported age in the 90s and early 2000s. Before starting my research, I did a little digging on the Wikipedia article. As at when it was created in 2005, the reported DOB was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bola_Tinubu&oldid=28108956 1952], which is the same as what it is now. For Oluremi Tinubu, the DOB was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oluremi_Tinubu&oldid=493441653 1960], which will make her 60, not 70 as currently stated in the article. Does that mean it has been altered to make her seem older than her husband? Only time will tell. Even though I don't entirely agree with your stance on the article just yet, I appreciate your sincerity in ensuring that accurate and verifiable information is contained on Wikipedia. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:15, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

:'''Update''':I have removed the information that says she is '''''70''''', sources online suggest to me that she is 60 (will be celebrating her 61st birthday this year), I know you will take this as a constructive addition to the article. I didn't add 1960 as her birthdate just yet, I wanted to see your reply first, but I have removed the age field entirely for now.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:25, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
::I assure you that I’m not emotionally attached to this development, zilch, 0, none at all. If anything, it’s comedic! I mean whilst Nigerians are debating if or not Tinubu is 69 or 79 and Tinubu himself saying he’s “69” Our Vice president just announced that “[http://saharareporters.com/2021/03/30/confusion-osinbajo-reduces-tinubus-age-64 Tinubu is 64]”. The state of confusion amongst the media & the politicians themselves is giving me a good laugh. It would be a waste of energy to be emotionally vested in Nigerian politics because in the end they always control the narrative. Removing the entire age is a good move. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 14:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
:::I saw the news of Osinbajo stating his age as "64", that just adds another dimension to the confusion. Most politicians are not sincere with their ages. Fortunately for Tinubu, his announced age is consistent with records as far back as 2006. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
::::I might have used the wrong choice of words suggesting ''...emotions dictating decisions...'', on reflection I think its more about me wanting to slow down, whenever it concerns the personal life of a major political figure, especially when there is an existing public perception on such individual. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 15:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::Nahhhh it’s cool, me wey I just dey burst laugh for office. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 23:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::You know when i mentioned above that Im never emotionally vested when it comes to editing in areas related to Nigerian politics because in the end the Nigerian government always wins/controls the narrative? I hadn’t even read [https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/452510-lekki-tollgate-shooting-u-s-yet-to-confirm-number-of-people-killed-report.html this] yet. I avoid as much as can be editing political related articles especially on Nigerians. I’d just stick to my editing on occultism and occult related articles. Wahlai I fear Nigerian politicians pass the spirit of [[Olumba Olumba]] coming to punish me for writing about him. Lmaooo '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 20:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
:::::::Hahaha...read that Olumba consecrated more than 1000 Bishops during the Easter celebration. What was surprising for me is to see that the cult recognizes the birth and death of Christ. Speaking about Tinubu age, a renowned journalist, Yinka Odumakin, who is now deceased [was also skeptical about his age [https://dailytrust.com/obituary-odumakin-buharis-former-spokesman-who-made-life-a-living-hell-for-bola-tinubu]. The reason we need to take this seriously is that Odumakin has been in the political space with Tinubu for a long time [https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/276674/portrait-of-the-tiger-ambode-rode-4.html 1]. According to him, Tinubu should be in his 80s. Reports on his first wife (not Oluremi Tinubu) also suggest that she was around 70 when she died in 2018. It is not likely Tinubu will be older than his first wife. From a Wikipedia perspective, I will continue to observe, if more documented proof is available then a mention on the age controversy may be worth it. But for now, only his critics have been speaking. We need more independent documentation! [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 10:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
::::::::I feel terrible about Odumakin's death, he was one of the very few Nigerians who unequivocally spoke the truth and was very much pragmatic about the degradation of our nation. He was an exponent of the Yoruba's and advocated for the Yoruba race diligently. Omo eko ni mi, & Èkó ò ní bàjé(not now, not ever). In any case, me I no even send anybody mama about Tinubu's age again if Jagaban wants let him claim he’s 16 next year and tell our notable media houses to publish such, Wahlai, that one concern am. Insofar as we are about verifiability and not truth, I’d just put his new age on his article. Oh well! In other news, Na this [https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com/platform/amp/2021/4/9/22374641/player-ratings-granada-0-2-manchester-united one] they sweet me & as usual egbon mi, [https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11945/12267688/real-madrid-3-1-liverpool-vinicius-juniors-double-inspires-zinedine-zidanes-side-to-first-leg-win sorry oo]. Lmaoooo. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 00:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
:::::::::hahahaha.....I remember when Barcelona defeated Liverpool 3 goals to nil in the first leg (2019), we came from behind to win 4-3 on aggregate. I also remember when AC Milan were wining Liverpool 3-0 in UCL final of 2005, we came from behind to level. Liverpool have a history of coming from behind to get unexpected results, I am not saying we will qualify, I am only saying don't write them off. If there is a team that can do it, it is Liverpool. loooool!!![[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 12:35, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

== It’s kinda sad ==

We have discussed this before about veteran Nigerian actors who don’t get the recognition they deserve due to the fact that were active prior social media became a thing. Five of such come to mind, [[Patrick Doyle (Nigerian actor)]], [[Zulu Adigwe]] , [[Chika Anywanu]], [[Chiege Alisigwe]] & [[Becky Okorie]] obviously most of them don’t satisfy NACTOR or GNG but is kinda sad all the same. Really really sad but this new actors get instant recognition because they know how to manipulate social media/the internet whilst the founding fathers of Nollywood all go unappreciated. It’s sad for real. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 23:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

<center>'''''(25/06/2021)'''''</center>
We hereby want to officially welcome new volunteers who have recently joined the collaborative project and have volunteered to work in [[WP:NIGERIA]]. The arrival of new volunteers is often associated with the confusion of “what to do” on their part, it is then behoove of us to treat them with care, guide them, and protect them from the general pitfalls a new editor would most usually fall into. We are also admonished to clean up after them if they err and encourage them, most especially when they are genuine editors with potential to do good work not just for us, but for the community as a whole. Once more, we hereby thank all new editors who have volunteered to work here and hope they enjoy their stay here.
<center>'''''Requests for uncreated articles'''''</center><center>'''''(24/1/2020)'''''</center>
Greetings & a great weekend to you all. It would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities.

Hello Co-ordinator, How're you doing today?
I created my first article last week and it was nominated for speedy deletion. I crave your indulgence to clarify some issues relating to editing and creating an article that gets accepted.
Kindly assist.

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:Abeni (film)]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern:

Have you had any success reaching him? He used to respond to my mails whilst he was on his wiki break but he had abruptly stopped responding for a while now. I hope all is well with him. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 00:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}} So nice of you to ask after him. I have his phone number, and can confirm he is doing fine. We even communicated some days ago via WhatsApp. My guess is that out-of-Wiki activities is keeping him too busy to contribute to Wikipedia. Pretty sure that with time he will be back. He has been greatly missed! [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 05:20, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

:::Hmmm I’m not so sure about that perhaps longer days shorter nights or vice-versa I can’t really tell. But I think it’s just an isolated feeling some people have, for example I Dey complain for one forum ''(under a different username of course)'' say why August just dey draw like ogbono na so one egbon reply me with “Sharap ya nonsense mouth there, August wey fly like breeze” I say “ahn ahn oga na my opinion I just air ooo no be fight we dey so abi you see me for dream” ?? baba reply with “no dey air yeye opinion here carry am go air for your papa” I just burst laugh, omo to be Nigerian sweet, in any case he clearly thought August went by too fast and I had the inverse feeling.

::::hahahaha...lol. Doubt that will happen. Liverpool are getting back on their feet already from the slow start to the season. Messi will certainly still deliver. But I'm not sure if I should feel good or bad for Bruno Fernandez in your last game. If Ronaldo had taken it, people like me would have said he's so full of himself and wants to be in the limelight, so can't really blame him for allowing Bruno. Plus Bruno has a better scoring ratio, although he has played less.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 19:09, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
:::::That’s the problem, Bruno was under tremendous stress, he didn’t even do his signature “jumping one leg kick” having CR7 is just too mentally intimidating, even to the detriment of his co-team players. That was what Rooney complained about back in '08, Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand are saying the same thing now in 2021, don’t get me wrong, I’d die for CR7 but tbh he is a “mental bully”, and a “one man show” type of player, which honestly is no longer working anymore, his trickery, step-overs, speed, acceleration, & tenacity aren’t as crisp as before, I mean, he isn’t 25 anymore and age is catching up real bad. On any other given day, Bruno would have scored that with his eyes closed if Ronaldo wasn’t present, Notice how Ronaldo gave him a “shoulder squeeze” after he missed that penalty? That wasn't to boost his morale, that was reverse psychology at its zenith done intentionally to subliminally intimidate him for future sake, creating a psychological environment in Bruno's mind where Bruno would always second guess himself and in future would yield & hand over to Ronaldo to take over penalty dead ball kicks altogether. Thats the same thing Lebron James does in Basketball. I’m hopeful about them all the same, Our only rivals are Liverpool and Chelsea. Man city don cast we dey beat them home & away like say them tiff phone for Obalende. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 21:28, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
::::::I agree with everything you said. Coincidentally, I was watching the game with my junior brother who immediately alleged that Bruno might have deliberately missed the pk since he went about it in a significantly different pattern as you've said. That is just a conspiracy theory, and I don't think there is any chance that is the case. But it just shows how the mental state of a person could influence the quality of their actions. Sad![[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 06:38, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

==Participation in a signpost interview==
Hi HandsomeBoy, hope that you're well. I was wondering if you'd be able to participate in a Signpost interview in your capacity as a contributor to [[WP:ACTOR|WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers]]? I am enthusiastic about these interviews because they help remind other Wikipedians about the passionate and diverse group of volunteers that edit Wikipedia, and into the many discussions and editors that inhabit our space, nooks and crannies. If you had time to even answer a few questions here ([[User:Tom (LT)/sandbox/WikiProject actors and filmmakers interview draft]]) I'd be very grateful :).[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 22:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

== Atrophy of Some Nigerian “Reliable Sources” ==

Coming from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Celestina007#Nigerian_articles here] despite the name of this entry, ostensibly it is a general crisis, when I mention the gradual retrogression or atrophy of Nigerian RS I am [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Reviewing_Articles_From_Africa_%26_Asia tackled] but to substantiate my claim take a look at this ''supposedly stellar source'' [[The Guardian (Nigeria)]] now take a look at [https://guardian.ng/art/meet-nollywood-leading-movie-director-tosin-igho-flying-africas-banner-high/ this piece] & this is supposed to be from a ''stellar source'' yet they are engaging in rogue journalism by failing to announce that very piece is a pre packaged material, even worse is that they tried to pass it as a legitimate piece when it is crystal clear it pr sponsored. Without even using my clandestine tools which I use in nabbing pre packaged materials, anyone can do a before search and verify this. If we have to scrutinize a “reliable” source then it ceases to be a reliable source, & if that becomes the case unfortunately the source may need to be deprecated. {{u|Praxidicae}} also noted the gradual atrophy of this source [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Celestina007/Archives/2021/March#question 8 months ago]. However just as {{u|DGG}}, I believe and belong to the school of thought that there isn’t anything like a “reliable source” rather, a reliable piece from a reliable source. In sourcing, the piece is really what matters. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 22:06, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
:Per my understanding, News media (reliable sources) are obligated to report factual information, they are not necessarily required to have an objective tone, that is for Wikipedia to do. If someone have won a highly respected African movie award multiple times, a journalist can choose to praise him in his piece. That is what makes Wikipedia special, our ability to filter out facts from POV narration and the un-due weight of the so-called "reliable sources". I just needed to give a quick generic reply, I will expand my reply hopefully before the end of today. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 10:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
::Yes, you are referencing [[WP:BIASED]] but I don’t think you understand me. I do not speak about “tone” here, although that is a different discussion altogether, which may or may not be indicative of a reliable source, within the confines of [[WP:RSCONTEXT]] but what I speak of is a ''deliberate'' failure to disclose a pre packaged material, pre packaged materials are invariably pr sponsored. I believe without even using any tools you can tell a pre packaged material when you come across one by doing a minor “before” so as I said earlier I wasn’t discussing tone but a re-occurring incident of a particular “reliable source” failing to disclose a pre-packaged material. Somewhere in my response above I have showed you how to discover pre packaged material. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 20:08, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
:::I agree with you that many of our so called "reliable sources" publish content that falls below Wikipedia standard for sources. I have raised this in several talkpages and forums on and off Wikipedia. Even ''Punch'', that is probably the most widely read newspaper have many terrible content (hopefully they are beginning to change that). I think with time they will get better, it is a process.

== Mutual Philosophy ==

i have read, replied and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1063225263?diffmode=source removed] the entry from my TP due to the fact that it is a philosophy I have adopted since 30-09-2021 and find it somewhat moot. Furthermore, as I mentioned in the reply I totally agree with you, I find prudence, diligence and integrity to be the tenets that never fail for any editor who wants to better themselves, we edit in futility if all the named tenets aren’t our mantra, there are also other potential problems coming from not just Nigeria related articles but from articles from all parts of the world, it is a very clear and present danger and an existential threat to the integrity of the collaborative project as a whole, I also find that this problem is so, because editors who ought to speak or act, do not do so. [[Edmund Burke]] said it best when they stated {{green|“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”}}, having said, I expressly want to state that I do not advocate for a vigilante style of negating this ills, neither do I advocate a “conscious effort” approach to dealing with this ills, what I do advocate is “for not looking away when we envisage such ills, rather in any capability we can, let us report such ill when it stares us in the face” I adopted on the 30th of September 2021, not to be too confrontational, a simple dialogue with the editors involved and if unsatisfied, filing an official report to the relevant noticeboard. Forgive the verbose, but I do hope you grasp my thought process. A happy new year to you. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 23:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

:{{ping|Celestina007}} Good to hear from you in a jovial tone again. I beg to differ on this. I think she will not be relevant when another trend sets in, WP:RECENTISM might apply. But I might be wrong though. Come to think of it, your team are really doing badly. Indeed you don't know how valuable someone is until you lose him. Ole had better results than Rangnick.

::No no you dey correct I was joking around, there is nothing encyclopedic about her and I’m big on encyclopedic value, but to be honest if I came across a well sourced article about her that meets GNG, I probably might just mark as reviewed but unfortunately I don’t see her meeting GNG anytime soon. See ehn as for Man U, I honestly cannot can anymore, honestly speaking local girl has lost all her abilities to can. Darreg, to be honest I think Ronaldo is the problem, or Cavani, or the fact that we are playing Greenwood in a false position, Ragnick's gegenpressing can’t work with men in their mid thirties playing upfront. The whole team and staff needs a revamp to be honest, I think we are what now? Seventh ba? Omo, abeg my brother shift make local girl faint in peace.

:{{ping|Danidamiobi}}, this is an interesting one, especially since she began representing England in the mid 90s. From my research, I believe they are the same, and the appropriate spelling for her name should be "Kuburat Owolabi", except she modified her name in her later career. Nice find, we have so may of these mixups on Wikipedia because not many people are paying attention to these articles.

After successfully completing the ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|2021 Months of African Cinema Global Contest]]'' on 30 November 2021, we are happy to announce the winners in the contest!

Over 4,000 articles were created across 17 language Wikipedias, surpassing all expectations and placing the contest firmly as one of the most successful article-writing contests on Wikipedia. A big thank you to you and every single person who created articles during the period of the contest for making this happen!

All our winners have now been announced and you can check the complete list '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema/Winners|here]]'''.

Hey [[User:HandsomeBoy|Handsome]], I was thinking you could help me with the new [[Nigeria Premier Football League]] logo, hope you have heard about it?

:{{u|Josedimaria237}}, sure I'd be glad to do that. Considering there is a new board and the league is transitioning, i will reach out to an NPFL media person for the latest logo. i want to be sure I won't be uploading the old one. I will give you update. Apologies for late reply. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:39, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

== AfroCine categories missing in Nigerian language WPs ==

Greetings, [[User:HandsomeBoy|Handsome]] - I'm hoping you're the right one to notify. I found your User name on the current [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Coordinators]] list. In Wikidata, for the item '''[[:d:Q9109399|Category:Cinema of Nigeria]]''' - of the twenty existing language projects (WPs), missing are Yoruba and Igbo, not to mention other African languages. The Yoruba WP page '''[[:yo:Nollywood]]''' hasn't ''any'' category. I do "housekeeping" edits in four African-language WPs (ZU, XH, YO, IG, over 6K altogether, and over 9K edits in Wikidata) but need help with spelling. YoWp has only one admin and some new pages are being created on films - so I thought to ask if you'd kindly take action on behalf of AfroCine. Appreciate this! ''-- Cheers, [[User:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[User talk:Deborahjay|talk]]) 18:51, 15 October 2018 (UTC)''
:{{u|Deborahjay}}Thanks for your interest in trying to ensure language diversity within Wikimedia projects. Aside being a coordinator for WikiProject Nigeria, I am also one of the regional directors for Wikimedia User Group Nigeria. Last week, I raised this content gap within my local community to see if we had volunteers who are fluent in writing Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba and are willing to translate cinematic content; Fortunately for us, there were numerous volunteers who were willing to partake in the project. But we had one other challenge, they are not very familiar with Wikitext and formatting tables, so I prefer to be there when its being done, even though they wanted to start immediately. I told them to exercise patience since they are all presently based in a different state from me. I wanted it to be part of our meetup activities for the month of October, which will be holding by 23rd and 24th of this month. If no one does it before then, all three Nigerian languages will be done during our October meetup at [[University of Ibadan]]. I'm now based in Lagos but coordinate activities for [[Ibadan]] community as that's my alma-mater.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 21:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

== Hello there! ==
Hello bro! And thanks for the invite. Can you add me cos I am new to Wikipedia and don’t know my way around very much :) May be that’s why I have fallen into trouble with so many ppl on here. LOL
Cheers [[User:Ppdallo|Ppdallo]] ([[User talk:Ppdallo|talk]]) 15:46, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
:Its great to hear from you {{u|Ppdallo}}, let me formally welcome you to Wikipedia. I hope you find this place friendly and decide to stay here. We need more Nierian editors on Wikipedia, and since you are interested in Hausa articles, I'm guessing you can speak the language as well. Joining [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria]] is quite easy, what you need to do is to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nigeria#Participants click here], then click edit on the "participant" section that you will be led to; after that edit the list, and add your account by using the four tiles that you used to sign your posts. If you have questions, please feel free to ask me. I'll be very very glad to assist, that is why I'm here.

:On the toxic nature of your first experience, the thing is anyone can edit Wikipedia, so regular editors who ensure the encyclopaedia is free from [[WP:vandalism|vandalism]] might seem unfriendly but I can assure you that once you understand the rudiments of editing, you'll enjoy the friendliness among editors in the community. I don't want you to see it as "trouble", its more of the learning curve that most new editors go through. I'm glad you're still jovial about it, a good sense of humour and not taking unfriendly experiences such as this too seriously might come in handy. Above all, remember to ask me anything you aren't too sure about. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 20:54, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks for your soothing and encouraging words {{u|HandsomeBoy}} and I am glad having someone like you to hold my hand during my tottering steps through Wikipedia. I believe in free, genuine information and its copious availability to all. Yes I speak the Hausa language very well and hope I will be of use in that and many other regards.Thanks once again! [[User:Ppdallo|Ppdallo]] ([[User talk:Ppdallo|talk]]) 06:09, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

== '''AfroCine:''' The Months of African Cinema Continues…. ==

Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|Months of African Cinema]]'' global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

*Article suggestions can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Article Suggestions|here]]. You can also add to this list.
*Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Reliable Sources|here]]. Again, this list needs expansion.
*Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Loves Women/Occupations|Occupation Drive]], which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
*Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema#Article achievements|Article Achievements]] section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--[[User:Jamie Tubers|Jamie Tubers]] ([[User talk:Jamie Tubers#top|talk]]) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]]. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at [[WP:Image resolution]], along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the [[User talk:Ronhjones|bot owner]] if you have any questions, or you can ask them at [[Wikipedia talk:Non-free content]].

* {{ping|Dl2000}} I corrected an error in the article. The winner of next rated category as documented in reliable sources is [[Sean Tizzle]], not [[Burna Boy]]. The edit summary error was meant for the error in the article, not the aftermath of my edit.

== Conflicting reports ==

Hi HandsomeBoy and compliments of the season. As an experienced editor, I was wondering if you have an idea of what one can do when multiple reliable sources report different things about an essential part of a subject life.
Say the Punch reports that he died in Abuja, Guardian says he died in US and other sources say either of the two. With warm regards, [[User:Mahveotm|Mahveotm]] ([[User talk:Mahveotm|talk]]) 17:02, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Mahveotm}} Thanks for reaching out. This is a critical one. Sourcing is central to information on Wikipedia, and anything that involves it is usually quite sensitive. Personally, I need more context to be able to provide an appropriate answer. There are some situations that I'll state what source A said, and what source B said the way it was made. In some other situations, I'll ignore one source, and lean towards another. In some other cases, I'll even remove the entire information from Wikipedia and disregard both sources. So for me, I think it depends.

:A combination of issues emanating from convenience, subscription and computing concerns are responsible for my late reply. Apologies for that. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 21:57, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
::Sorry for just getting back. [[WP:VOLUNTEER|real life got some toll on me too!]]. I do hope you're doing well. As regards the subject of discussion, the article is [[Chukwudifu Oputa]] which I created - I think last week. I eventually removed the place of death from the article entirely. Funny thing is another source reported that he died in US or so. Others were having difficulties subtracting date of death from date of birth to determine age (go through some of the refs, you'd see what I'm talking about)😂😂!! Away from Wiki, I trust you're great!! [[User:Mahveotm|Mahveotm]] ([[User talk:Mahveotm|talk]]) 01:44, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Mahveotm}} Surprised there wasn't an article for him before now. At least, I should expect all chief justice of supreme courts to have a Wikipedia article almost immediately they are sworn in, not to talk of one that was there in the 80s, and also played a key role in investigating human right abuse during the military era. So back to your observation, I'm even more concerned that most of the reliable sources claim he was 96 when he died, despite getting his birth year correctly, I wonder if this is case of not being able to perform basic arithmetic operation, lazy journalism (considering the replication) or mere oversight on the path of the publishers and editors [https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/last-supreme-courts-golden-era-justice-oputa-dies-96/ 1], [https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/160130-justice-chukwudifu-oputa-dead.html 2], [https://www.channelstv.com/2014/05/04/justice-oputa-dies-at-96/ 3]. Whichever way, its a reflection of the poor standard of journalism. As for his place of death, I'll lean to Abuja, the sources I could find even went into detail on how the building he died and how he just returned from the US. Good job creating the article!

== [[Covenant University]] ==

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch about my tag on [[Covenant University]]. My issue was that there sometimes seems to be a gap between what the sources say and the wording used in the article.
* For instance, the article says Covenant is the "highest ranked Nigerian university in the world universities ranking of the Times Higher Education". The source says "Covenant University is one of the leading universities in Africa ... The Nigerian Universities Commission named it the best private university in Nigeria in its 2018 rankings and the 6th best university overall". Those aren't the same things.
* Another example: the article says "Techcabal rated Covenant University as having the best software developers in Nigeria". The source actually says that Covenant is one of the universities mentioned as having the largest number of ex-students working in coding. It specifically does not mention it as the best: "that’s not what this list is about", and although Covenant is listed first, the list is "in no particular order".
* And one more: article says "It was the most sought-after private school in 2014" and gives two sources. Both list all universities with their application numbers. There are a number of universities listed with higher application numbers. It may well be that Covenant has the highest applications for private universities, but the source doesn't say that or indicate which universities are private, and working it out from the list is straying into original research.

I was also a bit troubled by the paragraph about the pro-chancellor: "qualitative pursuit of her vision and mission" sounds weaselly to me, and is not sourced. And the word "feat" is not neutral.

I also noticed that the article correctly says that Covenant won the Nigerian section of the CFA Institute Research challenge, but does not say where it came in the global finals - whcih suggested to me that the article was less than neutral.

Finally, I wondered whether the "Recent Developments" section gives undue weight to the various rankings and praise for the university, in comparison to the info about the courses, which is minimal, and the sentence at the end about lawsuits and criticism. I'm sure it's not your and other editors' intention but the length of the Recent Developments compared to the rest of the article does make it feel promotional.

Feel free to remove the tag, and thanks for your work on the article and elsewhere in Wikipedia. [[User:Tacyarg|Tacyarg]] ([[User talk:Tacyarg|talk]]) 17:43, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
::Thanks for the well-thought and properly communicated reply. I'll work on each of your suggestions and get back to you. I'm more concerned about the article being very encyclopaedic than removing the tag.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:43, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

== The usage of Moreover ==

Hi HandsomeBoy, 
I don't think the usage of the word "Moreover" in that instance is wrong. Having said that, I believe you worded the sentence better. Thanks. [[User:Versace1608| Versace'''1608''' ]] [[User Talk:Versace1608|''Wanna Talk''?]] 21:32, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

== Veteran Nollywood Icons ==

Hey, it’s been a minute & It’s good to you holding your own excellently. Please assist me here, there are very few editors who are as interested in in the nollywood industry as you & I, so I was thinking yeah. Could you please suggest to me certain veteran nollywood stars who are yet to have an article included in the encyclopedia maybe one or two so I could create articles for them. I keep trying to remember their names but for the life of me I can’t. Their faces I know in my mind but their names clearly have eluded my memory. Cheers [[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 08:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
:So glad to see you active again {{u|Celestina007}}. You are one of the few female volunteers in [[WP:WikiProject Nigeria]] who are sincerely passionate towards the improvement of Wikipedia and I appreciate you for that. Even when we had our differences, I always knew you had good intentions. Speaking about our WikiProject, I have a lot of ideas in my head concerning how we can take it to the next level, especially on retaining consistent and knowledgeable editors, but I just need to properly structure and situate it before posting a release for review and implementation.

:Back to the request, I am glad to know that you have friends who are interested in being Wikipedians and contribute to cinema-related contents. Please if they need on-wiki assistance, please let them feel free to reach me. I will be glad to put them through the editing process. Considering your ethnic background, I think you will have little interest in Yoruba veterans, so I will limit my recommendations to the ones from the east. What comes to my head at this moment are: [[Rita Nzelu]], [[Susan Patrick]] (was the "snakegirl" in ''Sakobi''), [[Gloria Young]], [[Steph Nora Okereke]], [[Becky Ngozi Okorie]] (Karachika), [[Rita Edochie]], [[Ndidi Obi]], etc. Some of them may not clearly pass GNG, due to the fact that they starred in films that was produced in the 1990s, but due to the significance of their roles to the development of [[Nollywood]] I believe they pass [[WP:ACTOR]] easily. When I remember more, I will inform you. Once again, thank you for your dedication. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:45, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
:: I’m sure any idea you think of or currently thinking of would be perfect. Thanks for the names i’d start with [[Rita Nzelu]]. It’s a shame veteran actors aren’t given the recognition they deserve. [[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 18:03, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
:::Thank you {{u|Celestina007}}. I'll also join you to improve the article when it hits mainspace. Also, [[Grace Amah]] comes to mind...[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 22:33, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello {{u|HandsomeBoy}}, warm greetings to you and complements of the season. I have been following you most recently after I stumbled upon you on a related article I contributed to and ever since, I quite very often notice your name pop up most times while contributing to Nollywood notable names and veterans included. I joined Wikipedia back in 2015, even though not very active, but averagely up until my account was blocked for reasons clearly stated which I learnt my lessons and moved on whilst ensuring all instructions are strictly adhered moving on. This is where I stumbled upon the quiet, decisive and supportive {{u|Celestina007}} whom I have been meaning to talk to on her page like this, for like forever now, but here we are. I see you dear Labutnum, I appreciate you and admire you greatly and immensely for all you do here and elsewhere on wikipedia. I appreciate you. The very two Wikipedians I admire in one place. How hearth warming this is for me. Summarily, I love Nigerian cinema-related content and its practitioners a whole lot and will like to be here for good, abiding by all rules and will also love to be both of your friends. Warmest regards to you both. Love, [[User:Don VN|Don VN]] ([[User talk:Don VN|talk]]) 07:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
::{{ping|Don VN}} Awwwwn. Thank you for the nice words, really appreciate. But hope admins will not have an issue with creating a new account? Is that allowed? Don't you think you should request to get unblocked in your original account? [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 11:02, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
:::I will be most delighted to have the account back though its be quite a very very long time ago and if only I can still have access and remember the login details. I will be most delighted. I will keep you posted on this once am able to so you could assist with the procedure for unblock request which seemed much of a task at that time. Best wishes always, [[User:Don VN|Don VN]] ([[User talk:Don VN|talk]]) 11:42, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
::Hello {{u|HandsomeBoy}}, longest time no hear. I have been through thick and thin the past months but, am glad am finally bnack again at this. The experiences where harrowing in those moments and thank goodness am still here breathing. Trust you have been great and everything is good with you.

== GREETINGS ==

Hi' am [[user:f5pillar|@f5pillar]]. New boy here and in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria]] I created this article [[Umaru Sanda Ndayako]], pls check if it's ''OK''
::Greetings {{ping|f5pillar}}, its great to hear from you. I'm always excited when I interact with an editor interested in improving Nigerian contents on Wikipedia. There is this sense of dejavu I feel about my early days here, and the need for proper induction. going through the article, I think its a great start. Subject is definitely notable. However, a few redlinks should be blue, and some formatting needs to be done to conform to the manual of style. Overall, its a good start!

Hi HandsomeBoy, 
Can you please take a look at the Davido article and tell me what you think. I have expanded it quite drastically and will be nominating it for GA pretty soon.

== BetKing ==

Hey, hi checkout this page [[BetKing]], I create and you can help me do some check up for some errors 00:15, 25 December 2019 (UTC) — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:F5pillar|F5pillar]] ([[User talk:F5pillar#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/F5pillar|contribs]]) 
::{{ping|F5pillar}} when it comes to for-profit organizations, the criteria N:CORPDEPTH is quite stringent. I saw you implied that since Bet9ja is notable, BetKing should be too. I just want to say that references aside, Bet9ja are the biggest online gambling site in Nigeria, both in terms of revenue, popularity and registered users. I have a friend who manages one of their account, and I'm aware they have more than 4 billion naira as capital. Note that this is just one of their accounts as they have many. Also, Betking are quite new in the industry. Also note that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXIST probably applies here.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 22:52, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

== Requests for uncreated articles ==

Greetings & a great weekend to you all. I believe it would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities. Sent by {{noping|Celestina007}}. [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 01:26, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

::{{ping|Celestina007}} Thank you so much for this thoughtful broadcast. I have been highly impressed with your improved expertise this past few months. Personally, I will begin work on the new articles list immediately. I always feel like we don't have enough experienced active editors to fully launch completely on-wiki editing projects, but notwithstanding that doesn't mean the article creation count should remain stagnant. I have simply prioritized training/encouragement over individual editing. Once again, thank you for this post. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 20:13, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
:::Oh my! thanks for the kind words. Honestly speaking, the rate at which honest Nigerian experienced editors are going inactive is very worrisome coupled with the rate at which Nigerian paid editors are multiplying is very disturbing but nonetheless I see some potential in some of our new editors. Oh well, that aside I have gone head to create the [[Beverly Osu]] article & I hope other editors go ahead to devote time in creating other pending articles listed there.[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 20:28, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Celestina007}} I agree with everything you've said. Which is why in every of my training, I always make that point very clear to all the participants so that they can know what it takes to be a Wikipedian and not waste their time if they don't buy into the vision. Thanks for creating an article for Beverly, surprised she didn't have an article already. I too have just created one for [[Mohammed Balarabe Haladu]] :) I also removed the clearly non-notable entries from the list.

== Royalty infobox in Efunsetan Aniwura ==

Hi HandsomeBoy. You used the royalty infobox for the article [[Efunsetan Aniwura]] and subsequently the category "roylaty" has been added. It has now been translated into Portuguese and the author has added the royalty "category". Yet, nothing in the text indicates that she is royal and from what I have read, an Iyalode is not a royal. So my question is whether you merely used the infobox as a suitable one in which to include the details. Looking forward to your reply, regards, [[User:Rui Gabriel Correia|Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia]] ([[User talk:Rui Gabriel Correia|talk]]) 00:57, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi H, how do you think [[Ndowa N Lale|this]] and [[Ndowa E.S Lale|this]] should be sorted.
[[User:Mahveotm|Mahveotm]] ([[User talk:Mahveotm|talk]])
:{{ping|Mahveotm}} Both articles need to be [[WP:MERGE|merge]] into a single page. If you need me to help with the merger, I can. I meant to ask you, is everything okay?

:: yeah just like {{u|Versace1608}} said I left some jovial messages on Mahveotm’s tp sometime late last year or early this year but never got a response, rather he blanked his entire tp & never bothered to acknowledge nor respond to me i was even going to send him a private mail later in the day to ask if everything was alright or perharps if I have transgressed against him unknowingly as this isn’t Mahveotm’s usual jolly jovial nature & even of recent when we do interact he addresses me in an unpleasant manner but I understand these things do happen & perharps in one way or another I probably have offended him unknowingly.[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 16:42, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Mahveotm}} I just completed the merger. Do you think the article should be move to Ndowa Lale? I don't think the subject's middle initial is relevant here.

:::::: You beat me to it. In deciding where to move it to, I considered three factors.

I find Ndowa E.S Lale to be created one day before Ndowa N Lale. I can also see that unlike the latter which had more than 50% of its content in tables, it had more sentences, which is closer to what an encyclopaedia should be. Finally, A google search on both names showed that Ndowa E.S Lale is more used. But I have to agree with Versace that the most appropriate name for the article should be "Ndowa Lale" which had [https://www.google.com/search?q=ndowa+lale&client=ubuntu&hs=2ow&channel=fs&sxsrf=ALeKk02ja8KiDpCaZbXwATC7BPwl4chG3A:1588192643367&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiywN7Svo7pAhVqTRUIHZovC5AQ_AUoBHoECBIQBg 367 Google news results] as against the [https://www.google.com/search?q=ndowa+E.S+lale&client=ubuntu&channel=fs&sxsrf=ALeKk03OoLrnf_N53fPjajkaq1GZMUhmQw:1588192896788&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjlhMrLv47pAhWiSxUIHZYjAJIQ_AUoA3oECAwQBQ&biw=1301&bih=639 3 results] from "Ndowa E.S Lale".

HandsomeBoy, it's been over a month and a half since you started this nomination, but failed to complete it (see the "Incomplete DYK nomination" section posted on May 20 on this page). Did you want to pursue this? If so, please complete the last nomination step, or if you'd like help, ping me and I'll be happy to assist.

If you are no longer interested in pursuing this nomination, either follow those steps or let me know, and I'll take care of it for you. Please let me know one way or the other; if no action is taken soon, the nomination may be removed. Thank you very much.

== Help ==
Hello [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] Please I need your help.

I've been trying to upload several images (logos) about Nigerian football but couldn't do so since they are copyrighted. I don't really know how to do this but I'll be grateful if you could help me upload some logos to wikipedia. e.g the [[League Management Company]] logo, the [[NWFL Premiership]] new logo and the [[Nigeria Football Federation]] new logo. Thanks

== Help with Making Nigerian Articles ==
Good evening Boss. Recently I've made edits concerning Nigerians... And I noticed that [[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]] is a Nigerian article deleted/opposer. E dey vex me small small say as 9ja pipo we still dey kick each other for Wikipedia, which is a place where we should let the world know about what we got. Vanguard, Punch, Legit.ng cannot cover everything in Nigeria and the other sites in Nigeria isn't considered as "Notable". Recently I made an article [[Dandy Jackson Chukwudi]], it was approved and nominated for deletion. Dandy Jackson Chukwudi is one of the young Abia enterpreneurs which should be known (we have similarity in name. Lol) BUT it's an English Wikipedia... Nevertheless, see if you got take a look at it. Make we help make Naija proud kwanu. I hope you hit me right back.

The article in question is an autobiography & the fact that you denying the obvious is doubling down & is hurting your reputation.

== Isn’t This The Weirdest Problem? ==

It suddenly hit me to create a standalone article for [[Olumba Olumba]] the self proclaimed “God” but during a prerequisite research on the individual before article creation, I had a great epiphany as I observed both father & son bore the exact same name. There was no Sr or Jr to differentiate the father from the son as both were referred to as Olumba Olumba, I’m in a fix now, I intend to create an article on the son (the light skinned, tall and big Olumba Olumba) and not his father(the dark skinned, short and petit Olumba Olumba) & do not even know how to go about that now, reliable sources do not even differentiate one from the other(some do though, by calling the son “Rowland” but per COMMONNAME, his name should be Olumba Olumba) this sort of wahala is why i presume as notable as they are, they don’t have biographical articles on them. Our predecessors, probably faced this challenge and decided it probably wasn’t worth the stress, & the closest thing to articles on them is an article on their spiritual movement named [[Brotherhood of the Cross and Star]], where two sections in the article have a biography for father & son, do you think it is best as it currently is? keeping in mind that both qualify for standalones?
Padi mi wetin you reason? because, on God “this kind thing I never see o” yup! In Wizkid’s voice. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 19:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}} You really crack me up with those ending lines. I really love your choice of articles. You have a way of adding content in areas that are important, yet most Nigerians won't think of them. I literally had to get a dictionary to know the meaning of some of the words you use, you write so well now, compared to when you first came on Wikipedia :). If I were to create this article, I will make the topic about the name '''Olumba Olumba Obu''', rather than it being explicitly for either the father or the son since I found a source that states that they have same name[https://www.pulse.ng/communities/religion/olumba-olumba-5-things-you-need-to-know-about-brotherhood-of-the-cross-and-star/hd1jnje 1]. Nonetheless, I will create sections for both the father and the son. This will also aid continuity, in that after the demise of the son, the next leader of the sect may also have same name, so it can be divided into something like first generation, second generation, etc. (or something similar) This is if your reason for wanting to write only about the son isn't a strong one. May I ask why you are only interested in writing an article for only son? For the non-BLP, I would normally start along this lines - '''''Olumba Olumba Owu is a name that has been used to refer to the leader of "xxxxxxx"....''''' OR '''''Olumba Olumba Owu is a name that originally referred to the founder of xxxxx, it is now used by his son and successor...'''''. Then I will have sections with infoboxes for both father and son. This is just what I would do if I were in your shoes, and not really a guideline. To be fair, I am probably as confused as you are in this odd situation (never seen anything like this). But if you want to stick to just the son, then I guess you can disambiguate with their DOB, such as [[Olumba Olumba Owu (born 19xx)]]. You're doing a nice job on Wikipedia, and I am really pleased to have met someone you on this platform, cheers to many more years of collaborating towards free knowledge. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 21:16, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
:: Thanks for the kind words presido. I’ve been teaching the English language since I was 16-19 as a private home tutor. On my choice of article creations, It’s probably my affinity for the Occult. I can’t say exactly why I want to create an article for the light-skinned Olumba Olumba it’s probably arbitrary though or perhaps because he is the Olumba Olumba I’m accustomed to. The problem is Olumba Olumba Obu isn’t a title but a name, but like you rightfully said it’s slowly becoming a title, so although making it into a title does make sense, at the same time I can’t say why it doesn’t seat well with me. Arggghhh this shit got me fucked up anyway by 8pm or thereabout I’d take a decision and proceed with the article creation. This is by far the most complicated article I’m about to create. Although, I think I know exactly how to create the article now. I’m equally super pleased to have met you also, yourself, {{u|Versace1608}}, {{u|Jamie Tubers}}, & Mahveotm pretty much shaped me into what I’m morphed into. God I was one stubborn 'son' of a bitch back in 2016. Ehen, that reminds me, I’ve been asking you to come watch me play basketball at Ndubisi Kanu park at Alausa but you don turn big man & you no get my time bah? No wahala. lmao '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 17:41, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
:::Don't be too hard on yourself, I was even worse. Although mine was not really as a result of being a newbie, but a negative reaction to how certain things were being done on Wikipedia. I am also glad the experience has definitely made me a better person. On the article, whatever you decide, I will surely contribute to it. Have you watched Living in Bondage 2? If you haven't, please do. It is a properly made film that gave an appealing angle to the Occult. What I have noticed about the occult in Nigeria is that the perpetrators are only motivated by their quest for dominion and oppression towards others. This makes it difficult for people to take them seriously in this part of the world. Speaking about Versace, he is likely to return early next year, I think everyone should take a break from Wikipedia occasionally, and can understand why he chooses to. You both combine well in fighting vandalism and combating COI editors. I definitely love to meet my Wikipedia friends, the thing is I work in a corporate environment from Monday till Friday, and on Sundays, I am normally in Church for almost the entire day "covers face". I have only Saturday to do my laundry, ironing, etc. And you know how Lagos traffic can get, but I will really consider this when we take our Christmas break next month. But I am not a big man o, when we meet, you will understand what I am saying. Fun fact: I am completely introverted in real life.

Everipedia allows a wider breadth of images: https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/joy-duru
I migrated the article there today, even though it seems likely the article will return to Wikipedia. The EV article might take a little bit for it to show in Google search results.

Do you have any interest in collaborating on or creating a Nigeria initiative similar to the others listed here [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force/Current-Initiatives|Current Initiatives]]. It could potentially be in partnership / cross-listed with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria|WP Nigeria]] and [[Wikipedia: WikiProject Women in Red|Women in Red]]?

:{{ping|Hmlarson}} I am very much interested, we can make this the most comprehensive encyclopaedia on women's football. I also have contacts of some persons in NWFL media department, they may be interested if we can get someone to put them through. I am confident they will like anything that will improve the visibility of NWFL Premiership. We can also use the absurdity of the notability requirement for women's footballer on Wikipedia as a selling point on why Evripedia is a great alternative. But more importantly, I really hope Evripedia will have a continuous gradual growth. I read that a top official resigned to form something similar, that is my fear. I don't want to dedicate so much time into something that may not stand the test of time. I tried to create an account some years back, but was not allowed, probably because it was in a beta stage. I might not be able to immensely contribute immediately, but I certainly do have some time during the course of the year. I am also very used to editing with wikitext/mediawiki I hope transitioning into something else may not be too different. Thank you for your work!

== Annoying as hell ==

Isn’t it very annoying when you discover certain veteran actors like [[Chika Anyanwu]], [[Becky Okorie]] (Karashika) & the lot of other veterans don’t have biographical articles because they are “old school” & from the “old Nollywood” whereas this “New Nollywood” rugrats all have biographical articles? Hurts to see the veterans getting marginalized with the introduction of the so-called “New Nollywood”. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 18:25, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}} I can't agree less with you. That is why we need to contextualize sources when interpreting GNG. Their only crime is not being active in the internet era, plus the "third world" factor. I remember Karachika, and I know how much it was a big deal in the good old days (mid 90s). I will add them to AfroCine suggestion page, and they would definitely be created latest by AfroCine 2021. Digitization of old newspaper prints is also an effective way of remediating this age-long dilemma.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 09:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
::Thanks big man, id be more than delighted to see that happen. Do you remember the sound track of the Karashika movie?? Shit Still scares me till date. It’s just a matter of time, I believe eventually there would be a remake of the movie, I can swear Charles Okpaleke & Ramsey Noah are already planning that as we speak.

Speaking about Ramsey and Okpaleke. I have seen LIB and Nneka, and I really enjoyed both, good value for my money. Wanted to see Rattlesnake, but it had stopped showing at the cinema when I was ready. I wonder which actress can play the role of Karashika effectively if there were to be a remake, probably an upcoming actress...call me nostalgic, but I need that scary vibe again.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 18:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
::::who would play Karashika ba? I’d put my money on Sharon Ooja or Adesua, Adesua actually looks like Becky Okorie, I literally cant think of anyone else. I haven’t seen Ahanna or Nneka yet I’m afraid of social gatherings so I’d chill till it’s available for download on the internet. Can you imagine the immense fortune Charles & Ramsey are gonna make off the remake of Karashika?

== Notability ==

Hi Handsomeboy, Nice work you’re doing here at Wiki. I just wanted to discuss with you about a comment you made on another talk page “ Big Brother Naija fans don't get that popularity is not notability. Even Erica is not yet notable, until she features in more notable films. HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)”

I find it weird that you don’t think Erica has gained notability meanwhile, Laycon and Prince both have viable pages. Erica even had a more robust portfolio prior to BB Naija.

And if you Check it, Hire a Woman has its own Wiki page and is also streaming on Netflix. In my opinion, that is notable enough.

Also, when you google "Met Film School Alumni" see what pops up.

When you check on Big brother America housemates, even a non-winner like Diane Henry and Erika Landin both have Wiki pages despite only being known for only big brother. I don't get why only Naija's own has to be very stringent.[[User:Kemmiiii|Kemmiiii]] ([[User talk:Kemmiiii|talk]]) 04:29, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
::@{{u|Kemmiiii}}, forum shopping/meeting the other parent wouldn’t help you. This is probably the fourth editor you have met pertaining this Erica Nlewedim issue would you stop already or would you prefer a block from editing here ever again? '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 05:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I only talked to the editors involved in deleting the page last year. And I only just noted that @Handsomeboy made a passing comment about her. I felt the need to clarify his thoughts with him especially in the light of the fact that he's Nigerian and I Imagine that he's aware of her notability in the last few months.

== Draft:Dremo ==

Hi, HandsomeBoy.
Trust you are doing great today.
I'd like to request that you have a look at my draft at [[Draft:Dremo]] and please offer me feedback on it.
Warm regards. [[User:Mondayudowong|Mondayudowong]] ([[User talk:Mondayudowong|talk]]) 08:56, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
:Hello {{u|Mondayudowong}}, thank you for reaching out. This is my honest opinion, independent of the creator or the reviewer. While [[The Headies]] is a notable music award that automatically confers notability to nominated/winning artistes in its main categories, "Rookie of the Year" has the least tendency of its nominees getting significant coverage in reliable sources or passing WP:MUSICBIO, this is because musicians in this category are usually new entrants into the music industry, with no previous professional experience. As for City People music awards, while it does not confer notability like Headies, it does help in assessing notability, especially for winners, so I will say it does seem early for me to comfortably say that he passes the notability criteria, remember that his first album (not EP) was in 2020, so maybe a little more review on his songs or another album will make him pass [[MUSICBIO]]. For now, I am on the side of the previous reviewer, I don't think he is ready yet.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 19:07, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

== As baffling as they come ==

How “[[Iyke Nathan Uzorma]]” , you know the guy right? That authored “[[Occult Grandmaster Now In Christ]]” has very few mentions on the Internet is something perplexing & nigh-unbelievable for someone who was arguably the most talked about individual in 1993, do you remember the amount of buzz that himself & that book had? I think I blame it on social media or the internet not being available in Nigeria until 1998, whereas the book was published in 1993. I’m not sure how to go about this, google books don’t give much, google scholar doesn’t give much either, google itself doesn’t give much, anyway, I think I’d perform another deep web search tonight & see how that goes.

::{{ping|Celestina007}} When I was much younger, I can remember reading a book on a Nigerian man who claimed to be second in command to lucifer before "repenting" to embrace Christianity but I can't remember the name of the person. Maybe it is Iyke, but it is also possible that multiple persons had similar narrations especially when you consider that spiritual conspiracy theories was quite marketable in the mid 90s through early 2000s. I am not saying this didn't happen, just trying to explain why the book I read could be about someone else. Back to digital penetration in Nigeria, it is amazing to know that social media was around in 1998, I thought it came to Nigeria much later than that (like mid 2000s).

Are you following the news of the Feminist coalition(femco) embezzlement of the #EndSars funds? I really don’t believe the story is true despite over a dozen professional crypto/digital currency experts say they did so, if its true, then it’s really true what that senator said about Nigerian youths “Those who are waiting to steal(''in regards to political corruption'') are more than those who are currently stealing” '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 18:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

::Yes, there indeed was a Nigerian government involvement theory, it’s a plausible theory(''I’m not sure how though'') but if we are being pragmatic, objective and excluding emotional sentiments, it wasn’t the Nigerian government who clandestinely made the withdrawal of $51,000, they did, & that withdrawal was shady for an organization that was built on the “''rock''” of ''transparency'' and ''accountability'' if not for the whale move alert, Rx and external bodies notifying Nigerians about the withdrawal, we would have been oblivious of the withdrawal. Their evidence rebutting any financial malpractice only made them look even more guilty as their statements were blatant factual inaccuracies. This is a bitter pill to swallow as all Nigerians benefited from the organizations effort in putting a stop to police brutality in Nigeria. I should also add that in my opinion, & technically speaking, it’s “''their money''” so the withdrawal although shady isn’t the problem(for me) but why they deemed it fit to lie is what i fail to comprehend.

::::I agree with you, i’m not sure there’s a fixed or close ended response to if or not the money is theirs, which is why objectively speaking I can see how they or people may feel ''it’s theirs''. An example every Nigerian or anyone living in Nigeria can relate to would be this; a clergyman announces to his congregation that the church intends to acquire a new fixed asset and has a budget of ''abc'' & and proceeds to ask them for anonymous financial donations to achieve the purpose, in the end, the purpose is achieved but then the clergyman discovers an excess of an ''xyz'' amount, technically speaking, the clergyman man does have ''to a certain degree'', leeway to optimize the funds as they deem fit & even if they were sanctimonious and wanted to refund the excess, the donations were ''anonymously made'' thus making it a ''mission impossible'' to do so, that analogy mirrors exactly what happened in this case. of course it is an opinion of a particular school of thought which could be very flawed, unsound and invalid in the philosophical stance of the next person, but yes, as much as it hurts me to say because we all benefited from the [[Feminist Coalition]] one way or another, and the most obvious being the police brutality in Nigeria has significantly reduced they indeed erred by performing that shady transaction. I appreciate the fact that your opinion is that they engaged in ''financial misappropriation''(which is also the opinion of most Nigerians) well except for the members of the ehhh, what did [[Segun Awosanya|Segalink]] call them??? Ahem, yes, except for the members of the [https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/53286468.amp ''COVEN'']. I agree with you that there’s going to be another major “protest” which imo is just a ''cash grab'' in the guise of “protesting”/“Activism” before 2024, in fact of recent, I’m beginning to doubt the genuineness of this modern day so called activists, there’s literally always an angle, if it isn’t the back door financial rewards, it’s the political positions they may get, if it isn’t that, then it’s the fame(we saw how they all cashed in on their fame to ''open businesses'', ''start musical careers'' , ''rejuvenate musical careers'', ''get verified blue ticks on their Twitter accounts'' & even attempted to get ''autobiographical/biographical Wikipedia articles'' on themselves had we not been vigilant enough to negate their attempts). In any case, despite my gratitude to them for reducing police brutality significantly, I’ve added the information on their Wikipedia article.

== Tinubu's Age ==
So apparently [[Oluremi Tinubu]](Tinubu’s wife) is suddenly older than [[Bola Tinubu|Tinubu]]? Lmaooooooo, nahhhh fuck it, in my Next life I’d still choose to live in Nigeria. Impossible things happen here regularly. I’ve laughed so hard I’m literally tearing up, Hahahahaha, Tinubu’s first daughter should be 58-60 and he still claims to be 69? Hahahahaha fuck it g, so basically yeah, Mandem was out here impregnating women at age 9-11??. I love this country. It’s as if Tinubu just got tired of of his current age and just decided to be 69 & made every media outlet declare his new age. But of course we all know it’s because of 2023. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 19:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}}If there is one thing I have learnt from being a Wikipedian, it is not to make my emotions dictate my decisions. I am not a fan of Tinubu, I think he is one of the major problems in Nigeria, but I really want to base my beliefs and positions on evidence rather than naysay. If Tinubu has reduced his age, then at what point did he reduce it, considering that his presidential ambition only started less than a decade ago. He has been on the political scene for quite a while, so it won't be difficult to get his reported age in the 90s and early 2000s. Before starting my research, I did a little digging on the Wikipedia article. As at when it was created in 2005, the reported DOB was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bola_Tinubu&oldid=28108956 1952], which is the same as what it is now. For Oluremi Tinubu, the DOB was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oluremi_Tinubu&oldid=493441653 1960], which will make her 60, not 70 as currently stated in the article. Does that mean it has been altered to make her seem older than her husband? Only time will tell. Even though I don't entirely agree with your stance on the article just yet, I appreciate your sincerity in ensuring that accurate and verifiable information is contained on Wikipedia. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:15, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

:'''Update''':I have removed the information that says she is '''''70''''', sources online suggest to me that she is 60 (will be celebrating her 61st birthday this year), I know you will take this as a constructive addition to the article. I didn't add 1960 as her birthdate just yet, I wanted to see your reply first, but I have removed the age field entirely for now.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:25, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
::I assure you that I’m not emotionally attached to this development, zilch, 0, none at all. If anything, it’s comedic! I mean whilst Nigerians are debating if or not Tinubu is 69 or 79 and Tinubu himself saying he’s “69” Our Vice president just announced that “[http://saharareporters.com/2021/03/30/confusion-osinbajo-reduces-tinubus-age-64 Tinubu is 64]”. The state of confusion amongst the media & the politicians themselves is giving me a good laugh. It would be a waste of energy to be emotionally vested in Nigerian politics because in the end they always control the narrative. Removing the entire age is a good move. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 14:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
:::I saw the news of Osinbajo stating his age as "64", that just adds another dimension to the confusion. Most politicians are not sincere with their ages. Fortunately for Tinubu, his announced age is consistent with records as far back as 2006. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 14:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::::Hahaha...read that Olumba consecrated more than 1000 Bishops during the Easter celebration. What was surprising for me is to see that the cult recognizes the birth and death of Christ. Speaking about Tinubu age, a renowned journalist, Yinka Odumakin, who is now deceased [was also skeptical about his age [https://dailytrust.com/obituary-odumakin-buharis-former-spokesman-who-made-life-a-living-hell-for-bola-tinubu]. The reason we need to take this seriously is that Odumakin has been in the political space with Tinubu for a long time [https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/276674/portrait-of-the-tiger-ambode-rode-4.html 1]. According to him, Tinubu should be in his 80s. Reports on his first wife (not Oluremi Tinubu) also suggest that she was around 70 when she died in 2018. It is not likely Tinubu will be older than his first wife. From a Wikipedia perspective, I will continue to observe, if more documented proof is available then a mention on the age controversy may be worth it. But for now, only his critics have been speaking. We need more independent documentation! [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 10:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

In any case, me I no even send anybody mama about Tinubu's age again if Jagaban wants let him claim he’s 16 next year and tell our notable media houses to publish such, Wahlai, that one concern am. Insofar as we are about verifiability and not truth, I’d just put his new age on his article. Oh well!

== It’s kinda sad ==

We have discussed this before about veteran Nigerian actors who don’t get the recognition they deserve due to the fact that were active prior social media became a thing. Five of such come to mind, [[Patrick Doyle (Nigerian actor)]], [[Zulu Adigwe]] , [[Chika Anywanu]], [[Chiege Alisigwe]] & [[Becky Okorie]] obviously most of them don’t satisfy NACTOR or GNG but is kinda sad all the same. Really really sad but this new actors get instant recognition because they know how to manipulate social media/the internet whilst the founding fathers of Nollywood all go unappreciated.

<center>'''''(25/06/2021)'''''</center>
We hereby want to officially welcome new volunteers who have recently joined the collaborative project and have volunteered to work in [[WP:NIGERIA]]. The arrival of new volunteers is often associated with the confusion of “what to do” on their part, it is then behoove of us to treat them with care, guide them, and protect them from the general pitfalls a new editor would most usually fall into. We are also admonished to clean up after them if they err and encourage them, most especially when they are genuine editors with potential to do good work not just for us, but for the community as a whole. Once more, we hereby thank all new editors who have volunteered to work here and hope they enjoy their stay here.
<center>'''''Requests for uncreated articles'''''</center><center>'''''(24/1/2020)'''''</center>
Greetings & a great weekend to you all. It would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities.

== Concerning {{u|Versace1608}} ==

Have you had any success reaching him? He used to respond to my mails whilst he was on his wiki break but he had abruptly stopped responding for a while now. I hope all is well with him. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 00:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Celestina007}} So nice of you to ask after him. I have his phone number, and can confirm he is doing fine. We even communicated some days ago via WhatsApp. My guess is that out-of-Wiki activities is keeping him too busy to contribute to Wikipedia. Pretty sure that with time he will be back. He has been greatly missed! [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 05:20, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

:::Hmmm I’m not so sure about that perhaps longer days shorter nights or vice-versa I can’t really tell. But I think it’s just an isolated feeling some people have, for example I Dey complain for one forum ''(under a different username of course)'' say why August just dey draw like ogbono na so one egbon reply me with “Sharap ya nonsense mouth there, August wey fly like breeze” I say “ahn ahn oga na my opinion I just air ooo no be fight we dey so abi you see me for dream” ?? baba reply with “no dey air yeye opinion here carry am go air for your papa” I just burst laugh, omo to be Nigerian sweet, in any case he clearly thought August went by too fast and I had the inverse feeling.

Darreg, did you see Man.utd today? Fam do you see how deadly the squad is? , Omo See; we got Varane, Maguire, Sancho, Pogba, Ronaldo, Mason Greenwood, Rashford, Lingard(he is in good form), & Cavani.

:I am a die hard Messi lover, love his personality, playing style and everything about him. People often think I was a Barcelona supporter because my love for Messi transcends into Barca.

::::hahahaha...lol. Doubt that will happen. Liverpool are getting back on their feet already from the slow start to the season. Messi will certainly still deliver. But I'm not sure if I should feel good or bad for Bruno Fernandez in your last game. If Ronaldo had taken it, people like me would have said he's so full of himself and wants to be in the limelight, so can't really blame him for allowing Bruno. Plus Bruno has a better scoring ratio, although he has played less.[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 19:09, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
:::::That’s the problem, Bruno was under tremendous stress, he didn’t even do his signature “jumping one leg kick” having CR7 is just too mentally intimidating, even to the detriment of his co-team players. That was what Rooney complained about back in '08, Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand are saying the same thing now in 2021, don’t get me wrong, I’d die for CR7 but tbh he is a “mental bully”, and a “one man show” type of player, which honestly is no longer working anymore, his trickery, step-overs, speed, acceleration, & tenacity aren’t as crisp as before, I mean, he isn’t 25 anymore and age is catching up real bad. On any other given day, Bruno would have scored that with his eyes closed if Ronaldo wasn’t present, Notice how Ronaldo gave him a “shoulder squeeze” after he missed that penalty? That wasn't to boost his morale, that was reverse psychology at its zenith done intentionally to subliminally intimidate him for future sake, creating a psychological environment in Bruno's mind where Bruno would always second guess himself and in future would yield & hand over to Ronaldo to take over penalty dead ball kicks altogether. Thats the same thing Lebron James does in Basketball. I’m hopeful about them all the same, Our only rivals are Liverpool and Chelsea. Man city don cast we dey beat them home & away like say them tiff phone for Obalende. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 21:28, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
::::::I agree with everything you said. Coincidentally, I was watching the game with my junior brother who immediately alleged that Bruno might have deliberately missed the pk since he went about it in a significantly different pattern as you've said. That is just a conspiracy theory, and I don't think there is any chance that is the case. But it just shows how the mental state of a person could influence the quality of their actions. Sad![[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 06:38, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

==Participation in a signpost interview==
Hi HandsomeBoy, hope that you're well. I was wondering if you'd be able to participate in a Signpost interview in your capacity as a contributor to [[WP:ACTOR|WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers]]? I am enthusiastic about these interviews because they help remind other Wikipedians about the passionate and diverse group of volunteers that edit Wikipedia, and into the many discussions and editors that inhabit our space, nooks and crannies. If you had time to even answer a few questions here ([[User:Tom (LT)/sandbox/WikiProject actors and filmmakers interview draft]]) I'd be very grateful :).[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 22:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

== Atrophy of Some Nigerian “Reliable Sources” ==

Coming from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Celestina007#Nigerian_articles here] despite the name of this entry, ostensibly it is a general crisis, when I mention the gradual retrogression or atrophy of Nigerian RS I am [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Reviewing_Articles_From_Africa_%26_Asia tackled] but to substantiate my claim take a look at this ''supposedly stellar source'' [[The Guardian (Nigeria)]] now take a look at [https://guardian.ng/art/meet-nollywood-leading-movie-director-tosin-igho-flying-africas-banner-high/ this piece] & this is supposed to be from a ''stellar source'' yet they are engaging in rogue journalism by failing to announce that very piece is a pre packaged material, even worse is that they tried to pass it as a legitimate piece when it is crystal clear it pr sponsored. Without even using my clandestine tools which I use in nabbing pre packaged materials, anyone can do a before search and verify this. If we have to scrutinize a “reliable” source then it ceases to be a reliable source, & if that becomes the case unfortunately the source may need to be deprecated. {{u|Praxidicae}} also noted the gradual atrophy of this source [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Celestina007/Archives/2021/March#question 8 months ago]. However just as {{u|DGG}}, I believe and belong to the school of thought that there isn’t anything like a “reliable source” rather, a reliable piece from a reliable source. In sourcing, the piece is really what matters. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 22:06, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
:Per my understanding, News media (reliable sources) are obligated to report factual information, they are not necessarily required to have an objective tone, that is for Wikipedia to do. If someone have won a highly respected African movie award multiple times, a journalist can choose to praise him in his piece. That is what makes Wikipedia special, our ability to filter out facts from POV narration and the un-due weight of the so-called "reliable sources". I just needed to give a quick generic reply, I will expand my reply hopefully before the end of today. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy#top|talk]]) 10:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
::Yes, you are referencing [[WP:BIASED]] but I don’t think you understand me. I do not speak about “tone” here, although that is a different discussion altogether, which may or may not be indicative of a reliable source, within the confines of [[WP:RSCONTEXT]] but what I speak of is a ''deliberate'' failure to disclose a pre packaged material, pre packaged materials are invariably pr sponsored. I believe without even using any tools you can tell a pre packaged material when you come across one by doing a minor “before” so as I said earlier I wasn’t discussing tone but a re-occurring incident of a particular “reliable source” failing to disclose a pre-packaged material. Somewhere in my response above I have showed you how to discover pre packaged material. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 20:08, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
:::I agree with you that many of our so called "reliable sources" publish content that falls below Wikipedia standard for sources. I have raised this in several talkpages and forums on and off Wikipedia. Even ''Punch'', that is probably the most widely read newspaper have many terrible content (hopefully they are beginning to change that). I think with time they will get better, it is a process.

== Mutual Philosophy ==

i have read, replied and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1063225263?diffmode=source removed] the entry from my TP due to the fact that it is a philosophy I have adopted since 30-09-2021 and find it somewhat moot. Furthermore, as I mentioned in the reply I totally agree with you, I find prudence, diligence and integrity to be the tenets that never fail for any editor who wants to better themselves, we edit in futility if all the named tenets aren’t our mantra, there are also other potential problems coming from not just Nigeria related articles but from articles from all parts of the world, it is a very clear and present danger and an existential threat to the integrity of the collaborative project as a whole, I also find that this problem is so, because editors who ought to speak or act, do not do so. [[Edmund Burke]] said it best when they stated {{green|“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”}}, having said, I expressly want to state that I do not advocate for a vigilante style of negating this ills, neither do I advocate a “conscious effort” approach to dealing with this ills, what I do advocate is “for not looking away when we envisage such ills, rather in any capability we can, let us report such ill when it stares us in the face” I adopted on the 30th of September 2021, not to be too confrontational, a simple dialogue with the editors involved and if unsatisfied, filing an official report to the relevant noticeboard. Forgive the verbose, but I do hope you grasp my thought process. A happy new year to you. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 23:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

:{{ping|Celestina007}} Good to hear from you in a jovial tone again. I beg to differ on this. I think she will not be relevant when another trend sets in, WP:RECENTISM might apply.

See ehn as for Man U, I honestly cannot can anymore, honestly speaking local girl has lost all her abilities to can. Darreg, to be honest I think Ronaldo is the problem, or Cavani, or the fact that we are playing Greenwood in a false position, Ragnick's gegenpressing can’t work with men in their mid thirties playing upfront.

== Are they the same? ==

Hi Sir,

How is your weekend going? Are these two articles not the same people? Is it a mere coincidence that we have the same name in the same sport?

:{{ping|Danidamiobi}}, this is an interesting one, especially since she began representing England in the mid 90s. From my research, I believe they are the same, and the appropriate spelling for her name should be "Kuburat Owolabi", except she modified her name in her later career. Nice find, we have so may of these mixups on Wikipedia because not many people are paying attention to these articles.

== Removal of your message from my TP ==

For courtesy sake I would like to tell you that I have [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1081742318?diffmode=source removed] this message from my TP. I do not think I appreciate phrases such as {{green|valid or not}} or any form of trivialization of serious things, If it weren’t you, I would have removed the message without bothering to extended the courtesy of explaining the reason. You saying that you think my physical attack may not have been linked to Wikipedia is another example of how that message was wrong on so many levels. This is merely a notification.

== From our email conversation ==

You might be wondering if Celestina is into occultism, why should she be scared for her life? Lol Omo the answer is because, I’m not bullet proof oo (at least not yet) Na why I dey go Arondizuogu In imo state, make I go collect Odeshi 😂 '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 00:08, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
:Lest I forget, please do not redistribute the email as it contains private material about where I can be found and core aspects of my spiritual life, I shared that with you in utmost confidence and trust. '''[[User:Celestina007|Celestina007]]''' ([[User talk:Celestina007|talk]]) 01:23, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
::Celestina, I want to let you know that I have your best interest at heart. I am also well vast when it comes to online privacy and personally identifiable information (PII). I understand the risk attached to what you do on Wikipedia, and will not do anything that will put you at a disadvantage. That was a long read by the way.

:{{u|Josedimaria237}}, sure I'd be glad to do that. Considering there is a new board and the league is transitioning, i will reach out to an NPFL media person for the latest logo. i want to be sure I won't be uploading the old one.

== Controversy ==

=== Kenya licensing and Money Laundering Allegations ===

In July 2022, a Kenyan High Court froze accounts held by Flutterwave containing over 6.2 billion [[Kenyan shilling]], following allegations by Kenya's Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) that the funds were linked to money laundering and credit card fraud. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) also disclosed that Flutterwave was not licensed to operate in the country.<ref name="TheCable ML">{{cite web |last=Azeez |first=Wasilat |date=July 7, 2022 |title=Flutterwave denies money laundering allegation as Kenyan court freezes bank accounts |url=https://www.thecable.ng/flutterwave-denies-money-laundering-allegation-as-kenyan-court-freezes-bank-accounts/amp |access-date=3 September 2022 |work=[[TheCable]] |language=English}}</ref><ref name="Reuters ML">{{cite web |date=July 7, 2022 |title=Flutterwave's accounts frozen in Kenya over money laundering claims |url=https://www.reuters.com/technology/flutterwaves-accounts-frozen-kenya-over-money-laundering-claims-2022-07-07/ |access-date=3 September 2022 |publisher=[[Reuters]]}}</ref><ref name="Bloomberg 1">{{cite web |last=Prinsloo |first=Loni |date=August 11, 2022 |title=Africa's $3 Billion Startup Battles Allegations as It Plans IPO |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-11/biggest-africa-startup-battles-multiple-allegations-in-ipo-runup |access-date=3 September 2022 |work=[[Bloomberg News|Bloomberg]]}}</ref> Flutterwave denied accusations of financial misconduct.<ref name="Bloomberg 1" />

In February 2023, the ARA withdrew its case against Flutterwave, and a Kenyan court released $51.9 million that had been frozen. The court documents revealed that the agency absolved Flutterwave of any wrongdoing, effectively clearing the company of all allegations.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-02-28 |title=Kenyan court releases frozen Flutterwave funds |url=https://techpoint.africa/2023/02/28/kenyan-court-releases-frozen-flutterwave-funds/ |access-date=2023-03-10 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://techpoint.africa/2023/11/09/flutterwave-cleared-in-kenya/ |access-date=2024-09-03 |website=techpoint.africa |title=Flutterwave cleared in Kenya as anti-money laundering agency drops its final lawsuit against the fintech |date=9 November 2023 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://techpoint.africa/2023/02/28/kenyan-court-releases-frozen-flutterwave-funds/ |access-date=2024-09-03 |website=techpoint.africa |title=Kenyan court releases frozen Flutterwave funds |date=28 February 2023 }}</ref>

In response to the licensing issue, Flutterwave disclosed that it submitted applications for licensing to the CBK as early as 2019, but these were still pending approval.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-28 |title=Flutterwave Says It's Awaiting Kenya License After Bank Snub |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-28/kenya-says-flutterwave-and-chipper-cash-not-licensed-operators#xj4y7vzkg |access-date=2022-08-12 |website=Bloomberg|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-30 |title=We submitted application for licence to operate in Kenya since 2019, Flutterwave reacts to CBK allegation |url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/we-submitted-application-for-licence-to-operate-in-kenya-since-2019-flutterwave-reacts-to-cbk-allegation/ |access-date=2022-08-12 |website=Vanguard Newspaper|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-25 |title=Nigeria's Flutterwave faces Kenya fraud allegations |url=https://restofworld.org/2022/flutterwave-fraud-allegations-kenya/ |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=Rest of World |language=en-US}}</ref> Recent developments indicate that the CBK is revising its regulatory framework, which could soon allow Flutterwave and other fintech companies to obtain the necessary licenses to operate in Kenya.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ndege |first=Adonijah |date=2024-06-10 |title=Kenya to issue payment licences: Flutterwave, Chipper could be first in line |url=https://techcabal.com/2024/06/10/kenya-opens-up-to-fintech-payment-licenses/ |access-date=2024-09-03 |website=TechCabal |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Harassment===
Flutterwave has been subject to multiple lawsuits and allegations for denying former employees stock rights as well as having a culture of bullying and harassment.<ref name="Bloomberg 1" /> In response, the company stated it has taken action against individuals within the company responsible for harassment.<ref name="Bloomberg 1" />

=== Fraud ===
On March 3, 2023, a Twitter user tweeted about a hack at Flutterwave. Two days later, on March 5, Flutterwave denied the report of a hack,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://techpoint.africa/2023/03/05/hackers-have-stolen-2-9-billion-from-flutterwave/ |title=Hackers steal ₦2.9 billion from Flutterwave accounts, motion granted to freeze accounts connected with stolen funds |work=TechPoint Africa |date=2023-03-05}}</ref> stating that customers did not lose any funds. However, several sources told TechCabal that they lost funds and their accounts were frozen. The court documents seen by TechCabal included a petition by Flutterwave's legal counsel to the police, dated February 20, 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Oladunmade |first=Muktar |date=2023-03-10 |title=Hundreds of accounts frozen in relation to alleged Flutterwave hack |url=https://techcabal.com/2023/03/10/hundreds-of-accounts-frozen-during-flutterwave-hack-allegation/ |access-date=2023-03-10 |website=TechCabal |language=en-US}}</ref> On February 8, 2024, TechCabal further published an exclusive report into how Flutterwave has been defrauded up to the tune of $24m through a court order secured to obtain return of such funds from over 6,000 Nigerian bank customers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Oladunmade |first=Muktar |date=2024-02-08 |title=Flutterwave gets court order to recover $24 million lost to unauthorized POS transactions |url=https://techcabal.com/2024/02/08/flutterwave-to-recover-missing-24million/ |access-date=2024-02-12|website=TechCabal |language=en-US}}</ref>

'''Miss Universe Nigeria''' - abbreviated as '''MUN''' - is a national beauty pageant in Nigeria to select a [[Miss Universe]] delegate. 2023 marked a revival of the original contest organised by [[Silverbird Group|Silverbird Productions]], Nigeria's Miss Universe franchise holder since 1983. The winner automatically becomes Nigeria's Miss Universe delegate, while the 1st runner-up is the [[Miss Supranational]] representative. Although Hannah Iribhogbe occasionally used the Miss Nigeria Universe title during her reign, she had actually competed in MBGN 2022.

The current titleholder is former [[Miss South Africa]] finalist [[Chidimma Adetshina]], who represented [[Taraba State|Taraba]].

==History==
''[[Daily Times of Nigeria|Daily Times]]'' - [[MBGN]]'s rival pageant [[Miss Nigeria]] organisers - originally owned the country's rights to Miss Universe, but ceased to send winners after their only representative Edna Park's onstage ruckus at the semi-final.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=qzA_YjwDH9oC&dq=edna+park+miss+universe&pg=PA102 Miss Universe Beauty from Around the World]</ref>
In 1983, following heavy publicity,<ref>[https://broadcastmediaafrica.com/event-speaker/guy-murray-bruce Guy Murray-Bruce]</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.mtvmeets.com/%28S%28fdb5ofvrj3fwe0lgdxrzwhce%29%29/index.do?ix=22413&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 | title=Ben Murray Bruce | publisher=MTVBase Meets | accessdate=2015-06-17 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150618202405/http://www.mtvmeets.com/(S(fdb5ofvrj3fwe0lgdxrzwhce))/index.do?ix=22413&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 | archive-date=18 June 2015 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Omololu Ojehomon won the 1984 edition of the newly established "Miss Universe Nigeria" competition, but this maiden edition was considered a failure as Ojehomon was ultimately dethroned before she could compete abroad.<ref>[https://escholarship.org/content/qt9bj83475/qt9bj83475.pdf Contesting Nationalisms: Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants p.43]</ref> Fashion [[model (person)|model]] [[Yemi Fawaz]], who placed third, described the contest as "highly controversial" owing to the selection of two contestants as second-place winners, and lambasted the judges' bias against [[mixed-race]] delegates. She also criticised Silverbird for ignoring contestants who had competed in the organisation's first-ever pageant.<ref>[https://issuu.com/newtelegraphonline/docs/saturday__may_21__2016_binder1/13 Why I Have Never Been Married]</ref>

Three years later, Silverbird president [[Ben Murray-Bruce]] relaunched the pageant as [[Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria]], with [[Law]] student [[Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu]] winning the contest and becoming the country's first Miss Universe representative in 23 years.<ref>[https://www.pressreader.com/nigeria/thisday/20180715/281943133655861 Who Fathered Lynda Chuba's Twins?]</ref> [[MBGN]] soon acquired more franchises including [[Miss World]], [[Miss International]], and later [[Miss Supranational]], with [[MBGN]] titleholders automatically became representatives. [[Computer Science]] and [[Mathematics]] student [[Agbani Darego]] – who would later win Miss World – became the first Nigerian to place at Miss Universe in 2001.<ref>[https://punchng.com/agbani-darego-marks-20th-anniversary-of-winning-miss-world/ Agbani Darego Marks 20th Anniversary of Winning Miss World]</ref>

In 2005, Silverbird created different titles for MBGN runners-up, including MBGN Universe, while MBGN's overall winner was renamed "MBGN World" and sent to Miss World only. [[Human Science]] student Roseline Amusu became the first MBGN Universe, but Nigeria failed to place until 2019 when Health and Human Services student [[Olutosin Araromi]] reached the Miss Universe top 20 after an 18-year drought.<ref>[https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2019/12/14/silky-olutosin-araromi-at-miss-universe Silky Olutosin Araromi at Miss Universe]</ref>

In 2023, Silverbird revived Miss Universe Nigeria, with Murray-Bruce's brother, Guy, stating that owing to Miss Universe's evolving criteria, MUN would take on a new format from MBGN, making them two entirely different entities. Unlike the latter pageant which focused on mostly Westernised beauty standards, MUN is all-inclusive, irrespective of marital status, body type, shade, height or weight.<ref>[https://independent.ng/35-years-after-silverbird-group-unbundles-mbgn/ 35 Years After, Silverbird Group Unbundles MBGN]</ref>
<ref>[https://sunnewsonline.com/miss-universe-2023-now-for-all-women/ Miss Universe 2023 Now For All Women]</ref>

In 2023, MBGN 2017 Ugochi Ihezue became the first woman to win two Silverbird-organised pageants since Bianca Onoh (MBGN and Miss Intercontinental) in 1989.

I verified with other Wikipedia pages that this is not the norm and edited the article to provide a more incremental introduction, citing the author and the sponsor later. -- Michael. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/79.43.107.99|79.43.107.99]] ([[User talk:79.43.107.99#top|talk]]) 20:41, 26 May 2017 (UTC) 

== Moved [[Redis (data store)]] to [[Redis]] ==

The Redis data store is the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC|primary topic]] for "Redis". "Redis" meaning "Romani people" is not even mentioned in the [[Romani people]] article and I will not object if the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Redis&diff=455337588&oldid=455336942 disambiguation intro] or the [[Redis (disambiguation)|disambiguation page]] gets deleted. See: [[Talk:Redis (disambiguation)]] for more info. [[User:Rfl|Rafał Pocztarski]] 08:57, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

:''Copy of the [[Talk:Redis (disambiguation)]] comment in case the page gets deleted:''

:[[Redis (disambiguation)]] was moved to [[Redis]] quoting [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages]] but the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages#Possible primary topic]] section is relevant here. The [[Redis (data store)]] article is the primary topic, see [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]. There is only one other meaning mentioned in the disambiguation article, namely the [[Romani people]], but in fact the word "Redis" is not even mentioned in the article on [[Romani people]] and it doesn't seem to be widely used in English. That is why I am moving the current (disambiguating) Redis article to [[Redis (disambiguation)]], moving the article on the Redis data store to [[Redis]] and adding a reference to the [[Romani people]] to the [[Redis]] data store article. When the only other meaning of "Redis" will be directly referenced in the primary topic article then the [[Redis (disambiguation)]] article will not be needed any more and can be removed (see [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation links]]) but I am not removing it right now. As I said the word "Redis" is not mentioned in the [[Romani people]] article so even the disambiguation link in the [[Redis]] article may not be necessary - I am adding it just in case but I will not object if anyone thinks it should be removed. [[User:Rfl|Rafał Pocztarski]] 07:52, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

== Adding clustering section? ==

A subject that is much talked about in the Redis community is clustering. Redis doesn't currently have it (limited to one node) but it is being developed and should be released soon. I think the article should cover this topic and say what Redis currently has, what is being developed and when it is supposed to be released. I can add a section covering this subject with a few references from the Redis project site and the Antirez blog. Any objections? [[User:Anne.naimoli|Anne.naimoli]] ([[User talk:Anne.naimoli|talk]]) 16:27, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

:I see there are no objections, so I'm adding a clustering section. [[User:Anne.naimoli|Anne.naimoli]] ([[User talk:Anne.naimoli|talk]]) —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 08:34, 25 December 2013 (UTC) 

:Redis has clustering as of April 1, 2015. People that know more about it than I do will have to update the entry, though. [[User:Theclapp|Theclapp]] ([[User talk:Theclapp|talk]]) 20:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

== Propose adding section about cloud deployment ==

It's quite common these days to deploy Redis on the cloud. There are two ways of doing this - just installing Redis on a cloud machine instance, or using a hosted Redis service. I've already written about this in the [[Cloud database]] page and more recently on the [[NoSQL]] page (see the cloud NoSQL database section at the end), there are several examples there of deploying Redis on the cloud. I could import the relevant information and references into the Redis page and perhaps add a few more options to give a complete picture. Any thoughts? [[User:Anne.naimoli|Anne.naimoli]] ([[User talk:Anne.naimoli|talk]]) 11:33, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

:Once again I see no objections, so moving forward. [[User:Anne.naimoli|Anne.naimoli]] ([[User talk:Anne.naimoli|talk]]) 12:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

== Pronounciation ==

How does one pronounce "Redis"? — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/128.143.102.247|128.143.102.247]] ([[User talk:128.143.102.247|talk]]) 18:21, 12 January 2015 (UTC) 

:The [http://redis.io/topics/faq FAQ] says it stands for "REmote DIctionary Server", so I would say it's pronounced ree-diss, which sort of rhymes with knee-kiss. That said, I've heard it pronounced reh-diss or red-diss. The FAQ does not list a canonical pronunciation. [[User:Theclapp|Theclapp]] ([[User talk:Theclapp|talk]]) 13:09, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the author of Redis, the correct pronunciation is "red-dees". It's like reading "Redis" in Italian, which is unambiguously read the same way by all the Italian speakers. (Salvatore Sanfilippo, 11 March 2017 17:06 UTC)

== Edit Request ==

{{edit COI|A}}

Hi, I’m contracted by Redis Labs to write about and add to the open-sourced Redis effort. I’ve mocked up a few changes to the article in [[User:Usikyle/sandbox | my sandbox]]. These are as follows.

* Added the geospatial type to "Data types" section,
* Added a modules section,
* Removed out-of-date/pre-release information from the "Clustering" section and added current information.

Due to my potential COI, I won’t make these edits directly. It would be greatly appreciated if someone would take a look and implement my suggestions or give feedback. Thanks!

[[User:Usikyle|Usikyle]] ([[User talk:Usikyle|talk]]) 20:40, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

:I'm going to mark this as answered, seeing that the request has already been fulfilled. [[User:Jd02022092|jd22292]] (Jalen D. Folf) ([[User talk:Jd02022092|talk]]) 16:52, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

== Language bindings ==

Since Redis implements [[Client-Server]] architecture it is more accurate to specify language clients instead of "language bindings" in the [[Redis#Supported_languages|supported languages section]]. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/109.206.156.72|109.206.156.72]] ([[User talk:109.206.156.72#top|talk]]) 09:23, 10 August 2017 (UTC) 

== "Slave" versus "Replica" ==

Redis itself has deprecated use of the the word "slave", and instead refers to nodes as either "masters", or "replicas". Should this article be changed to the matching terminology? On the other hand, "master-slave architecture" has well-understood meaning in computing, and that's the architecture Redis is using, regardless of the naming it uses. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/170.248.172.247|170.248.172.247]] ([[User talk:170.248.172.247#top|talk]]) 14:35, 19 September 2018 (UTC) 

== Is Salvatore Sanfilippo presented too prominently? ==

Fully half of the article's sidebar (or more depending on how you measure) is filled by a picture of Salvatore Sanfilippo. The first paragraph of the History section also focuses on him, and the details of how he started Redis. Is this aspect important to a random visitor's understanding of Redis? Might we downplay it a bit (e.g. remove that picture)? -- [[User:Dtgriscom|Dan Griscom]] ([[User talk:Dtgriscom|talk]]) 15:41, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

== Openwashing ==

I don't know how this article kept parroting the Redis Labs talking points for so many years. I see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Redis&diff=prev&oldid=885309319 a POV edit] was made by an account without any other edit. [[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 07:18, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

== Article says "...Redis is the most popular NoSQL database"? ==

I might not have sources because I am feeling lazy but I don't see how Redis can be the most popular nosql database, especially because it is not as general-purpose as many others. Please how is Redis more popular than MongoDB for example? [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy|talk]]) 11:26, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

== Merge proposal ==

I propose merging [[Valkey]] into [[Redis]], as the prior is a [[WP:REDUNDANTFORK]]. There are a lot more references in both articles about Redis than references about Valkey. [[Special:Contributions/84.250.15.152|84.250.15.152]] ([[User talk:84.250.15.152|talk]]) 20:23, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''': Significant difference in their license type. This looks similar to the [[MariaDB]] situation, and we have two articles for both. With time the sources will eventually come. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy|talk]]) 23:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm surprised this article made it through the draft review process, given that the subject has zero press coverage outside a few paid Nigerian blogs and the accolade "Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria" doesn't seem like a particularly notable award.

* '''Comment''': [[Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria]] is clearly a notable award, (sexist maybe, but surely no more or less than any other national beauty pagent). But [[WP:NMODEL]] is not met with just one notable award, so [[WP:SIGCOV]] must be met instead, which I'm not sure it is. [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_414#Vanguard_(Nigeria)|''Vanguard'' can be considered marginally reliable]] when, as in [https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/10/miss-world-2023-ada-eme-takes-campaign-against-schistosomiasis-to-india/ this case], the article is not explicity paid content. Curiously, I couldn't find a previous discussion on ''[[Voice of Nigeria|VON]]'' or ''[[Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria|RadioNigeria]]'' but maybe those two being state outlets counts for something? Even then the articles are pretty short, bordering on routine. So I am on the fence here. -- [[User:DandelionAndBurdock|D'n'B]]-''[[User_talk:DandelionAndBurdock|t]]'' -- 18:41, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

== Conflicting info on Lagos State and Kano State Pages ==

I wish to raise conflicting info I have found recently. In their opening paragraphs, both the [[Lagos State]] page and the [[Kano State]] claim that their respective state is the most populous in Nigeria.

The Kano article cites Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics' 2020 Bulletin, which estimates figure of every state and says that Kano is the most populous. The Lagos article's claim is supported by a claim from Lagos State Government.

Should it be made clear on both pages that the claim as the most populous state is disputed? [[User:Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower|Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower]] ([[User talk:Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower|talk]]) 11:21, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
::Hi {{u|Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower}}, thanks for bringing this here. This is a very unique scenario that requires extra care so as not to seem like downplaying the facts of one region over the other. First, let me respond as a person who is familiar with population studies in Nigeria before I provide one as a Wikipedia editor. Personally, as at today, correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think there is any sincere person that will dispute Lagos being the most populous state in Nigeria. Pretty sure even the Kano State governor will not argue with this. However, I can understand that considering the official figures presents the contrary it puts Wikipedia in a difficult position. Let me add to say that while the last census figure presents Kano as the most populous, independent sources tend to go with the numbers by the Lagos State government.
::There are sources from independent reliable sources that presents Lagos as Nigeria most populous city, which seem like a more neutral narration. However, I recommend stating the designating body so that the reader can draw his own deductions. What I mean is - for Lagos, use words such as "...it is generally regarded as the most populous state in Nigeria by state officials and several independent sources including xxxxx, yyyyy and zzzzzz". While for Kano, just state that "According to data released by National Bureau of Statistics, it is listed as the most populous state in Nigeria". That is my take, and I will like to hear the opinion of fellow Nigerian Wikipedians ({{u|Vanderwaalforces}}, {{ping|SafariScribe}}, {{ping|Reading_Beans}}, {{ping|Ammarpad}}).

::Lastly, I just hope the proposed census ends these inconsistencies, it is long overdue. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy|talk]]) 07:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::IMO as a Nigerian, we could credibly conclude that Lagos State is the most populous by population and may not by land mass, since the last consensus was that Kano State has about the highest LGs amongst the Nigerian state. Without being skeptical, I also believe "Lagos should be regarded as the most populous by number of people, business, and all that." While Kano on the other hand, presents itself as the largest state per land mass and geo measuring. Now the sources will not be confused. Either way, I don't think land mass is same as number of people and if we're considering the most populous, we should use the Bureau of Statistics of the 2006 consensus—which is still the current as far as I can tell or otherwise have been changed–''only God knows when?'', thus, favouring Kano (because states are rated as most populous by land mass, and a state with a high land mass is mostly going to have the larger number of people). [[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]][[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']] 07:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
::::Kindly, land mass does not have anything to do with this. "A state with a high land mass is mostly going to have the larger number of people" simply does not follow, there are many places with high land mass that have lower populations than smaller places. [[User:Watercheetah99|Watercheetah99]] ([[User talk:Watercheetah99|talk]]) 21:19, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::Ok, let's forget everything concerning land mass. [[Lagos State]], not [[Lagos]] which is the most populous city cannot be called the most populous State in Nigeria. Maybe the editor was confused of Lagos city and the state because in [[Kano State]] not also the city presented a pure two sources of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110519235026/http://www.population.gov.ng/files/nationafinal.pdf 2006 consensus] we knew as well as the [https://nigerianstat.gov.ng/download/1241121 survey] by the Bureau of Statistics in 2016. Like @[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]], @[[User:Reading Beans|Reading Beans]], and @[[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] have said same, we should rely on the 2006 population consensus and that's all. [[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]][[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']] 22:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::I think that Lagos state is more populous while Kano has more landmass. I tend to disagree that population is estimated with landmass otherwise, Russia would be the most populous instead of China. Having said this, I will lean on the suggestions given by {{u|HandsomeBoy}} while we wait for the much awaited census. If this suggestion is not viable, then, we can revert to the 2006 census, "... according to the 2006 [state name] has [population number] making it the most populous state." Or something like that. Best, [[User talk:Reading Beans|'''Reading Beans''']] 09:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::Why on earth did my reply not go through though, damn. Nevertheless, the statement pertaining to Lagos State is rather contentious due to its unwavering assertiveness, particularly in the absence of an immediate citation. It is a common practice to concur with prevailing beliefs regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. In contrast, the article on Kano State appropriately references the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), which lends credibility to the information presented. Therefore, the statement regarding Lagos State ought to be rephrased to reflect the statistics provided by the NBS, rather than presenting an unqualified assertion. It is often the case that generalizations are made based on widely held beliefs, and I suspect this was the case when the statement was incorporated into the article. [[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces|talk]]) 09:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
::::You said it well. Most applicably, it seems to be the turnout of [[Lagos]] city being the most populous over [[Kano (city)]], a city in Kano State. All I'm finalizing is that [[Kano State]] is the most populous state in Nigeria per [https://web.archive.org/web/20110519235026/http://www.population.gov.ng/files/nationafinal.pdf] and [https://nigerianstat.gov.ng/download/1241121] followed by [[Lagos State]], while it is turned upside for the cities, [[Lagos]] and [[Kano (city)]].

== [[WP:DCWC|Developing Countries WikiContest]] ==

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest ([[WP:DCWC]])! Think of it as a [[WP:CUP|WikiCup]] but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit [[WP:GA|GA]]s, [[WP:GT|GT]]s, [[WP:FA|FA]]s, [[WP:FT|FT]]s, [[WP:FL|FL]]s, [[WP:FP|FP]]s, and [[WP:DYK|DYK]] and [[WP:ITN|ITN]] entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Nigeria is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the [[WP:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Signups|DCWC signup page]] today!

== [[Obe (Soups)]] ==

This is an article created by a contributor who was indefinitely blocked shortly afterwards. The sources cited are all blogs, and wouldn't support the text if they ''were'' [[WP:RS]]. Furthermore, I can't find anything in English which actually supports the central claim of the article: that 'Obe' is a specific type of Yoruba cuisine, rather than a Yoruba word for soups and/or sauces. And while I can absolutely see the merits of an article on e.g. Yoruba cuisine if valid sources could be found describing specific attributes that distinguish it, this article clearly doesn't do that. Before I nominate it for deletion, does anyone from this project have any comments? [[User:AndyTheGrump|AndyTheGrump]] ([[User talk:AndyTheGrump|talk]]) 15:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|AndyTheGrump}} I understand Yoruba language quite well, and ''Obe'' actually means soup in general. It is just like the Yoruba word for soup, while ''Obe ata'' means stew in general. Honestly, without looking at any sources, I am not convinced on the merit of such an article. it is just like the Spanish word for soup having a Wikipedia article. Sounds like something for the dictionary or the soup article in Yoruba Wikipedia. Wonder what any other person thinks?

== Conflicting info on Lagos State and Kano State Pages ==

I wish to raise conflicting info I have found recently. In their opening paragraphs, both the [[Lagos State]] page and the [[Kano State]] claim that their respective state is the most populous in Nigeria.

The Kano article cites Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics' 2020 Bulletin, which estimates figure of every state and says that Kano is the most populous. The Lagos article's claim is supported by a claim from Lagos State Government.

Should it be made clear on both pages that the claim as the most populous state is disputed? [[User:Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower|Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower]] ([[User talk:Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower|talk]]) 11:21, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
::Hi {{u|Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower}}, thanks for bringing this here. This is a very unique scenario that requires extra care so as not to seem like downplaying the facts of one region over the other. First, let me respond as a person who is familiar with population studies in Nigeria before I provide one as a Wikipedia editor. Personally, as at today, correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think there is any sincere person that will dispute Lagos being the most populous state in Nigeria. Pretty sure even the Kano State governor will not argue with this. However, I can understand that considering the official figures presents the contrary it puts Wikipedia in a difficult position. Let me add to say that while the last census figure presents Kano as the most populous, independent sources tend to go with the numbers by the Lagos State government.
::There are sources from independent reliable sources that presents Lagos as Nigeria most populous city, which seem like a more neutral narration. However, I recommend stating the designating body so that the reader can draw his own deductions. What I mean is - for Lagos, use words such as "...it is generally regarded as the most populous state in Nigeria by state officials and several independent sources including xxxxx, yyyyy and zzzzzz". While for Kano, just state that "According to data released by National Bureau of Statistics, it is listed as the most populous state in Nigeria". That is my take, and I will like to hear the opinion of fellow Nigerian Wikipedians ({{u|Vanderwaalforces}}, {{ping|SafariScribe}}, {{ping|Reading_Beans}}, {{ping|Ammarpad}}).

::Lastly, I just hope the proposed census ends these inconsistencies, it is long overdue. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy|talk]]) 07:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::IMO as a Nigerian, we could credibly conclude that Lagos State is the most populous by population and may not by land mass, since the last consensus was that Kano State has about the highest LGs amongst the Nigerian state. Without being skeptical, I also believe "Lagos should be regarded as the most populous by number of people, business, and all that." While Kano on the other hand, presents itself as the largest state per land mass and geo measuring. Now the sources will not be confused. Either way, I don't think land mass is same as number of people and if we're considering the most populous, we should use the Bureau of Statistics of the 2006 consensus—which is still the current as far as I can tell or otherwise have been changed–''only God knows when?'', thus, favouring Kano (because states are rated as most populous by land mass, and a state with a high land mass is mostly going to have the larger number of people). [[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]][[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']] 07:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
::::Kindly, land mass does not have anything to do with this. "A state with a high land mass is mostly going to have the larger number of people" simply does not follow, there are many places with high land mass that have lower populations than smaller places. [[User:Watercheetah99|Watercheetah99]] ([[User talk:Watercheetah99|talk]]) 21:19, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::Ok, let's forget everything concerning land mass. [[Lagos State]], not [[Lagos]] which is the most populous city cannot be called the most populous State in Nigeria. Maybe the editor was confused of Lagos city and the state because in [[Kano State]] not also the city presented a pure two sources of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110519235026/http://www.population.gov.ng/files/nationafinal.pdf 2006 consensus] we knew as well as the [https://nigerianstat.gov.ng/download/1241121 survey] by the Bureau of Statistics in 2016. Like @[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]], @[[User:Reading Beans|Reading Beans]], and @[[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] have said same, we should rely on the 2006 population consensus and that's all. [[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]][[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']] 22:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::I think that Lagos state is more populous while Kano has more landmass. I tend to disagree that population is estimated with landmass otherwise, Russia would be the most populous instead of China. Having said this, I will lean on the suggestions given by {{u|HandsomeBoy}} while we wait for the much awaited census. If this suggestion is not viable, then, we can revert to the 2006 census, "... according to the 2006 [state name] has [population number] making it the most populous state." Or something like that. Best, [[User talk:Reading Beans|'''Reading Beans''']] 09:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::Why on earth did my reply not go through though, damn. Nevertheless, the statement pertaining to Lagos State is rather contentious due to its unwavering assertiveness, particularly in the absence of an immediate citation. It is a common practice to concur with prevailing beliefs regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. In contrast, the article on Kano State appropriately references the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), which lends credibility to the information presented. Therefore, the statement regarding Lagos State ought to be rephrased to reflect the statistics provided by the NBS, rather than presenting an unqualified assertion. It is often the case that generalizations are made based on widely held beliefs, and I suspect this was the case when the statement was incorporated into the article. [[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces|talk]]) 09:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
::::You said it well. Most applicably, it seems to be the turnout of [[Lagos]] city being the most populous over [[Kano (city)]], a city in Kano State. All I'm finalizing is that [[Kano State]] is the most populous state in Nigeria per [https://web.archive.org/web/20110519235026/http://www.population.gov.ng/files/nationafinal.pdf] and [https://nigerianstat.gov.ng/download/1241121] followed by [[Lagos State]], while it is turned upside for the cities, [[Lagos]] and [[Kano (city)]].

== [[Obe (Soups)]] ==

This is an article created by a contributor who was indefinitely blocked shortly afterwards. The sources cited are all blogs, and wouldn't support the text if they ''were'' [[WP:RS]]. Furthermore, I can't find anything in English which actually supports the central claim of the article: that 'Obe' is a specific type of Yoruba cuisine, rather than a Yoruba word for soups and/or sauces. And while I can absolutely see the merits of an article on e.g. Yoruba cuisine if valid sources could be found describing specific attributes that distinguish it, this article clearly doesn't do that. Before I nominate it for deletion, does anyone from this project have any comments? [[User:AndyTheGrump|AndyTheGrump]] ([[User talk:AndyTheGrump|talk]]) 15:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|AndyTheGrump}} I understand Yoruba language quite well, and ''Obe'' actually means soup in general. It is just like the Yoruba word for soup, while ''Obe ata'' means stew in general. Honestly, without looking at any sources, I am not convinced on the merit of such an article. it is just like the Spanish word for soup having a Wikipedia article. Sounds like something for the dictionary or the soup article in Yoruba Wikipedia. Wonder what any other person thinks?

== History ==
Women's football in Nigeria started in 1978 with the foundation of the NIFFOA (Nigeria Female Football Organising Association), renamed NIFFPA (Nigeria Female Football Proprietors Associations) in 1979, and joined by clubs like Jegede Babes, Ufuoma Babes, Larry Angels, Kakanfo Babes and others. The first championship was organised by the NFA in 1990. Ufuoma Babes were dominant in the 1990s, before succumbing to Pelican Stars, who won the league between 1997 and 2002. By the 2010s, Rivers Angels became more frequent in the super tournaments, a mini-tournament held annually among the top-placed teams, to determine the overall winner of the league. Despite the high frequency of the abridged format over the years, the 2014 league season saw a straight round-robin season in determining the league winners. However, by 2015, there was a reintroduction of the group system.

Since 2015, the league has enjoyed considerable success and improvement under the auspices of [[Aisha Falode]], and have produced several players for the [[Nigeria women's national football team|national team]] and cadet teams, with more than 70% of players who have been capped for the national team having played in the NWFL.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://inside.fifa.com/womens-football/news/aisha-falode-pushing-the-boundaries-in-nigeria|title=Aisha Falode pushing the boundaries in Nigeria|work=inside FIFA|date=16 July 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://bestchoicesports.com.ng/invitation-of-players-of-nigerian-descent-to-super-falcons-will-kill-nwfl-fc-robo-chairman/|title=“Invitation of players of Nigerian descent to Super Falcons will kill NWFL“ FC Robo coach|work=bestchoicesports.com.ng|accessdate=13 June 2024}}</ref> Since 2021, the league winners qualifies for the [[CAF Women's Champions League]].

==Renaming==
On 5 March 2020, the '''Nigeria Women Football League''', the governing body of professional [[women's association football]] in Nigeria, announced the re-branding of the women's league, by unveiling a new logo and renaming the three tiers of the league under the tutelage of the NWFL.

With the rebranding, the Nigeria Women Premier League is now known as the '''NWFL Premiership''', the second-tier league known as '''NWFL Championship''' (formerly '''NWFL Pro-League''') while the third-tier division becomes the '''NWFL Nationwide''' (formerly '''NWFL Amateur League''').<ref>{{cite news |title= NWFL re-brands, unveils new logo in Lagos |url=https://www.channelstv.com/2020/03/05/nwfl-re-brands-unveils-new-logo-in-lagos/?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi90_ywuLPqAhWHGBQKHRaoAsMQ9QF6BAgJEAI |work= Channelstv |date= 5 March 2020}}</ref>

[[File:NWFL LOGO.jpg|150px|thumb|The old NWFL logo]]

==Format==
The women's top division league in Nigeria usually follows an abridged format with a super tournament at the end of the season. The top teams in each group (sometimes 1, 2 or 3) will form the super tournament at the end of the regular season to determine the overall winner of the league. The last placed teams are normally relegated to the second division, while promoted teams from the lower division are also admitted into the league. Despite the high frequency of the abridged format over the years, the 2014 league season saw a straight round robin season in determining the league winners, however by 2015, there was a reintroduction of the group system.

The '''Nigeria Women Football League''' is the body responsible for organization the top three tiers of [[women's association football]] in Nigeria. They organize the [[NWFL Premiership]], NWFL Championship and NWFL Nationwide leagues. Historically, the [[Nigeria Football Federation]] appoints the executive board for the NWFL.

==History==
Since inception, women's football was usually governed as a department of the NFF empowered to administer the leagues. Executive members and leaders of such committees included Gina Yesibo, Bola Ngozi Jegede and Haijia Omidiran. However, the Nigeria Women Football League was inaugurated as an institution capable of running its affairs using a more independent approach. Dilichukwu Onyedinma was appointed as the first chairperson for the body.

The African 10,000 Challenge ''Improve/create any article on anywhere in Africa whenever you feel like it and list it!''... {{Percentage bar (larger)|60.93}}
</div></div>
[[File:AfricaCIA-HiRes.jpg|thumb]]
Since '''September 2016''', we have been working to reach '''10,000 article improvements for Africa''' from a series of regional contests and general independent article contribution. I encourage all editors from Africa (and elsewhere!) to contribute towards this as I think seeing 10,000 article improvements/creations on one list would be something monumental in wikipedia's history and something really worth working towards long term. It would be almost 1/500 of the entire encyclopedia and make a massive difference towards overall article quality on an area of the world which is very poorly undeveloped overall. ''Anybody'' can '''contribute any article on any country and topic in Africa''' to add to this list independently whenever they feel like it. Article cleanup and basic referencing improvements, expansions, new articles, DYKs, Good Articles, Featured Articles etc, are all welcome, though try to make new entries minimum start class entries with 1 kb of readable prose if possible, as the goal is to drastically reduce the number of stubs overall. We want to both inject quality into African articles and makes them more consistent in quality but also aim to make African coverage more comprehensive by creating new entries.

The half-way mark was reached on 24 July 2021.

== Conflicting info on Lagos State and Kano State Pages ==

I wish to raise conflicting info I have found recently. In their opening paragraphs, both the [[Lagos State]] page and the [[Kano State]] claim that their respective state is the most populous in Nigeria.

The Kano article cites Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics' 2020 Bulletin, which estimates figure of every state and says that Kano is the most populous. The Lagos article's claim is supported by a claim from Lagos State Government.

Should it be made clear on both pages that the claim as the most populous state is disputed? [[User:Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower|Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower]] ([[User talk:Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower|talk]]) 11:21, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
::Hi {{u|Iamaneyeblinkernoseblower}}, thanks for bringing this here. This is a very unique scenario that requires extra care so as not to seem like downplaying the facts of one region over the other. First, let me respond as a person who is familiar with population studies in Nigeria before I provide one as a Wikipedia editor. Personally, as at today, correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think there is any sincere person that will dispute Lagos being the most populous state in Nigeria. Pretty sure even the Kano State governor will not argue with this. However, I can understand that considering the official figures presents the contrary it puts Wikipedia in a difficult position. Let me add to say that while the last census figure presents Kano as the most populous, independent sources tend to go with the numbers by the Lagos State government.
::There are sources from independent reliable sources that presents Lagos as Nigeria most populous city, which seem like a more neutral narration. However, I recommend stating the designating body so that the reader can draw his own deductions. What I mean is - for Lagos, use words such as "...it is generally regarded as the most populous state in Nigeria by state officials and several independent sources including xxxxx, yyyyy and zzzzzz". While for Kano, just state that "According to data released by National Bureau of Statistics, it is listed as the most populous state in Nigeria". That is my take, and I will like to hear the opinion of fellow Nigerian Wikipedians ({{u|Vanderwaalforces}}, {{ping|SafariScribe}}, {{ping|Reading_Beans}}, {{ping|Ammarpad}}).

::Lastly, I just hope the proposed census ends these inconsistencies, it is long overdue. [[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]] ([[User talk:HandsomeBoy|talk]]) 07:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::IMO as a Nigerian, we could credibly conclude that Lagos State is the most populous by population and may not by land mass, since the last consensus was that Kano State has about the highest LGs amongst the Nigerian state. Without being skeptical, I also believe "Lagos should be regarded as the most populous by number of people, business, and all that." While Kano on the other hand, presents itself as the largest state per land mass and geo measuring. Now the sources will not be confused. Either way, I don't think land mass is same as number of people and if we're considering the most populous, we should use the Bureau of Statistics of the 2006 consensus—which is still the current as far as I can tell or otherwise have been changed–''only God knows when?'', thus, favouring Kano (because states are rated as most populous by land mass, and a state with a high land mass is mostly going to have the larger number of people). [[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]][[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']] 07:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
::::Kindly, land mass does not have anything to do with this. "A state with a high land mass is mostly going to have the larger number of people" simply does not follow, there are many places with high land mass that have lower populations than smaller places. [[User:Watercheetah99|Watercheetah99]] ([[User talk:Watercheetah99|talk]]) 21:19, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::Ok, let's forget everything concerning land mass. [[Lagos State]], not [[Lagos]] which is the most populous city cannot be called the most populous State in Nigeria. Maybe the editor was confused of Lagos city and the state because in [[Kano State]] not also the city presented a pure two sources of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110519235026/http://www.population.gov.ng/files/nationafinal.pdf 2006 consensus] we knew as well as the [https://nigerianstat.gov.ng/download/1241121 survey] by the Bureau of Statistics in 2016. Like @[[User:HandsomeBoy|HandsomeBoy]], @[[User:Reading Beans|Reading Beans]], and @[[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] have said same, we should rely on the 2006 population consensus and that's all. [[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]][[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']] 22:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::I think that Lagos state is more populous while Kano has more landmass. I tend to disagree that population is estimated with landmass otherwise, Russia would be the most populous instead of China. Having said this, I will lean on the suggestions given by {{u|HandsomeBoy}} while we wait for the much awaited census. If this suggestion is not viable, then, we can revert to the 2006 census, "... according to the 2006 [state name] has [population number] making it the most populous state." Or something like that. Best, [[User talk:Reading Beans|'''Reading Beans''']] 09:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::Why on earth did my reply not go through though, damn. Nevertheless, the statement pertaining to Lagos State is rather contentious due to its unwavering assertiveness, particularly in the absence of an immediate citation. It is a common practice to concur with prevailing beliefs regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. In contrast, the article on Kano State appropriately references the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), which lends credibility to the information presented. Therefore, the statement regarding Lagos State ought to be rephrased to reflect the statistics provided by the NBS, rather than presenting an unqualified assertion. It is often the case that generalizations are made based on widely held beliefs, and I suspect this was the case when the statement was incorporated into the article. [[User:Vanderwaalforces|Vanderwaalforces]] ([[User talk:Vanderwaalforces|talk]]) 09:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

== [[WP:DCWC|Developing Countries WikiContest]] ==

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest ([[WP:DCWC]])! Think of it as a [[WP:CUP|WikiCup]] but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit [[WP:GA|GA]]s, [[WP:GT|GT]]s, [[WP:FA|FA]]s, [[WP:FT|FT]]s, [[WP:FL|FL]]s, [[WP:FP|FP]]s, and [[WP:DYK|DYK]] and [[WP:ITN|ITN]] entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Nigeria is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the [[WP:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Signups|DCWC signup page]] today!

== [[Obe (Soups)]] ==

This is an article created by a contributor who was indefinitely blocked shortly afterwards. The sources cited are all blogs, and wouldn't support the text if they ''were'' [[WP:RS]]. Furthermore, I can't find anything in English which actually supports the central claim of the article: that 'Obe' is a specific type of Yoruba cuisine, rather than a Yoruba word for soups and/or sauces. And while I can absolutely see the merits of an article on e.g. Yoruba cuisine if valid sources could be found describing specific attributes that distinguish it, this article clearly doesn't do that. Before I nominate it for deletion, does anyone from this project have any comments? [[User:AndyTheGrump|AndyTheGrump]] ([[User talk:AndyTheGrump|talk]]) 15:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|AndyTheGrump}} I understand Yoruba language quite well, and ''Obe'' actually means soup in general. It is just like the Yoruba word for soup, while ''Obe ata'' means stew in general. Honestly, without looking at any sources, I am not convinced on the merit of such an article. it is just like the Spanish word for soup having a Wikipedia article. Sounds like something for the dictionary or the soup article in Yoruba Wikipedia. Wonder what any other person thinks?

{{requested move/dated|Tyap}}

[[:Tyap language]] → {{no redirect|Tyap}} – I originally moved this article to 'Tyap' on the 19th of May, but an hour later, an editor reverted that bold and undiscussed move, so I've moved it here instead. Anyway, the reason I'm requesting for this article to be moved to the new title is per [[WP:DISAMBIG]] (including [[WP:ONEOTHER]]), [[WP:NCLANG]] and [[WP:NCET]]; because this article is the primary topic with the name 'Tyap' in its title, because there's only one other topic called 'Tyap', the topic about its dialect, which doesn't have enough information to be a separate article yet, because its speakers are called 'Atyap', and because therefore, I personally think there's no point in creating a disambiguation page called 'Tyap' at this stage.

* Before I give an opinion. I'd love to get some clarification on some guidelines, and existing patterns on Wikipedia. First, are there language articles on Wikipedia that does not have suffix "language". I did a quick search and virtually all I saw had "language" to them. Secondly, Most languages mean a different thing when you remove the word language, are there examples that does not follow this pattern? For example, I know [[Yoruba]] people, that do not speak [[Yoruba language]]. Equating Yoruba to Yoruba language will definitely seem off, and that is the same for many other languages. I'd want to know if there are some other languages in the world (on Wikipedia) that does not follow this pattern.

'''Nigeria Private University Games Association''' (often abbreviated as '''NPUGA Games''') is a national sporting competition, organized by the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Registrars for private universities in Nigeria. By constitution, the 74 private universities accredited by the [[National Universities Commission]] are eligible to compete; however, only 36 of them are listed as affiliated universities on the official website of the games.

Founded in 2003, the competition is held once every two years at a host university. The objectives of the games according to the organizers are to promote national unity through sports; encourage physical and mental fitness among its participants; and act as a preparatory phase for athletes who could potentially represent Nigeria at international competitions.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://blueprint.ng/npuga-youth-development-through-sports-in-nigeria-by-joshua-ocheja/ |title=NPUGA: Youth Development Through Sports In Nigeria, By Joshua Ocheja |website=Blueprint Nigeria |date=21 December 2017 |access-date=2018-01-10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.nigeriatoday.ng/2017/12/npuga-athletes-can-help-boost-nigerias-global-sports-ranking-officials-say/ |title=NPUGA athletes can help boost Nigeria's global sports ranking, officials say |website=Nigeria Today |access-date=2018-01-10}}</ref> The games competed for by participating universities includes athletics, badminton, basketball, chess, football, Scrabble, swimming, table tennis, tennis and volleyball.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/25-private-varsities-set-npuga-games/ |title=25 private varsities set for NPUGA Games |date=November 2, 2013 |website=Vanguard nigeria |access-date=2018-01-10}}</ref>

Greetings. I'm looking into whether it would be wise to ask for a particular website to be removed from the local spam blacklist. Specifically, I'm trying to see how many attempts to add links to this site have been blocked, and whether those attempts seem abusive.

The [[Special:Log/spamblacklist]] page looks like it should be useful - it looks like you can put "foo" into the Title field it would show you all the attempts to add links to foo.com. However, this never works. Is there a right way to use this page? Or is there a different page that would be more useful?

== Disputed Article ==

Hello. Is it possible to get a review of this disputed article for [[Harry L. Williams]]? I have made edits to my previous edits in an attempt to comply, and those have been further edited. The most recent comment was from OrangeMike who said, "This reads like it was written by Williams' press agent." I reached out to him a few weeks ago to ask what triggered his comment but have not heard back. I am working on behalf of Williams' current employer: Thurgood Marshall College Fund. I've disclosed all related information as a paid subcontractor. I'm not disagreeing, I simply want to get this article in good standing. I can guess what might be causing the issues, but an objective review would really help define this for me if at all possible. Thank you!

:Hello, {{u|Sigridtx}}. What Cullen328 says -- though he has only pointed out one particularly egregious sentence. That aside, most of the references are to this or that among the subject's various employers. (Two are to pieces written by Williams himself.)

::Thank you Hoary, I totally understand. A couple of quick things if you don't mind. In navigating through trying to get this compliant, I reviewed articles for similar subjects representing the Black college community (like Williams). In more than one article their employers' websites were cited but the article wasn't "flagged." Also, if I cite an online article Williams authored in context of "Williams writes opinion-editorials on issues such as higher education... (as stated in the article), can I not cite those? Nothing in disagreement here, just mentioning to get this straight. I appreciate your help! [[User:Sigridtx|Sigridtx]] ([[User talk:Sigridtx|talk]]) 12:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
:::Hi {{u|Sigridtx}}. Sources not [[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent]] of the subject can be cited to support uncontroversial facts, but cannot be used to support the subject's [[Wikipedia:Notability|Notability]]. (A 'controversial' fact, in this context, is one where a reader ''might'' say "Whoa, I'd like to see confirmation of that", or one where the fact ''has'' been challenged.)

:::Be aware of [[WP:Other stuff exists]]. A great many of Wikipedia's existing 6.8 million articles have deficiencies of varying seriousness (and there are far too few editors to bring about a rapid across-the-board improvement).

Rather than emulating cherrypicked less-than-great articles that happen to be about similar subjects, you would do better to look at a range of [[WP:Good articles]].

== Best way to handle articles with controversial names ==

Hello,

I have been infrequently working on improving documentation of the 1989 mass expulsion event that occurred in Bulgaria and is little-known.

The issue is that the name itself of this event is controversial. The most commonly accepted name is "[[Big Excursion]]", which is a euphemistic name which originally employed officially by the perpetrators (the Bulgarian Communist Party). You will often find the event referred to by this name and this name only. This is a bit like if "Final Solution" was the most commonly use name to describe the Holocaust. Unsurprisingly, the name "Big Excursion" is frequently rejected by academics and victims/their descendants, though I have not seen concrete alternatives proposed in what I have read, just rejection of that name.

In light of that, I have titled the article Big Excursion so that it actually pops up when someone searches for it, but the primary name used in the article and info box is the purely descriptive name of "1989 forced migration". Within the article, I have used "Big Excursion" in quotes and explained that decision in a terminology section.

Would anyone please provide feedback on this choice and link to any relevant Wikipedia policies? Additionally can anyone link to other articles with controversial names for comparison? In some articles, it seems some of the names are outright rejected whereas in others, a descriptive name is use in line with "1989 forced migration" (e.g. [[January 6 United States Capitol attack]]). I intend to make another push at revising the article soon enough, so would greatly appreciate feedback that I could integrate into that.

:[[Wikipedia:Article titles]] is the guideline on article-names. The "§Use commonly recognizable names" portion says in general to use "the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources)". So if there is only one widely used name, that's the article name. If there is scholarly commentary that the name is inappropriate, that's good article content. But if there's no specific alternative name that's at least somewhat-widely used, we might be stuck with the poor one. [[User:DMacks|DMacks]] ([[User talk:DMacks|talk]]) 03:03, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

:[[User:Pietrus1|Pietrus1]], if {{Olive|"Big Excursion" [...] is a euphemistic name which originally employed officially by the perpetrators}}, well, "[[ethnic cleansing]]" is a name that originated as a euphemism employed by the perps. All things being equal, Wikipedia should avoid euphemism, but one reason to tolerate (perhaps within [[scare quotes]]) a euphemistically intended term such as "ethnic cleansing" is that a good understanding of its actual reference can fairly soon outweigh any effect of its euphemistic intention. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] ([[User talk:Hoary|talk]]) 04:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

::To give another example: "[[The Troubles]]" is also both a euphemism and the common name for that period of conflict, and it wouldn't really make sense to call that article anything else. -- [[User:DandelionAndBurdock|D'n'B]]-''[[User_talk:DandelionAndBurdock|t]]'' -- 18:31, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

::::The most important thing isn't the big page title, but what you write in the article. Your first sentence could include both, perhaps sounding something like "'''The Big Excursion''' was the '''1989 forced migration''' of Bulgarian Muslims..." You could also consider [[Forced migration of Bulgarian Muslims]] as a title. The policy permits multiple options, and you will have to use your best judgment to find the one that works best for the article.

== Non-reversing mirrors, aka True Mirrors(r) ==

Hi, thanks for letting me share:
{{cot}}
I am the producer of the first production, optically correct non-reversing mirror, sold under my registered trademark True Mirror(R). I've been doing this since 1992. There is a wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-reversing_mirror) that discusses this, but with nothing about what it's like to experience one. It used to have links to some press articles about my journey with it, but those have been removed. The page is generally just the physics of this kind of mirror.

I've discovered significant psychological elements within this kind of mirror after exhibiting to more than 25,000 people over the years. The main concept I discovered is that "our eyes communicate correctly when they look into this mirror, and they don't in reverse". Most faces become expression poor within seconds after making eye contact, dramatically unlike how the person uses their face to communicate to everyone else. The entire experience of (nearly) every living person includes looking into their eyes in reverse, and without them expressing correctly. The impacts are unknowable both in scale and depth, because any dynamic feedback loop with information distortion will be unpredictable. But it's happening for everyone, over a lifetime no less: Ubiquitous, unchallenged, unconscious and solitary. We are the only ones who know ourselves this way. Most importantly, our best expressions, such as our genuine smile, are impossible to maintain for more than a few seconds because the eyes are not communicating why we are smiling, causing it to feel non-genuine, causing it to stop.

The contrast when people meet their eyes without being reversed can be quite remarkable. Smiles in particular look and feel correct, because its possible to accurately read the reason why within one's unreversed eyes, which causes them to last a long time, even grow into laughter sometimes. Other emotions and thoughts are likewise reflected correctly, allowing a more continuous sense of self. There are currently more than 750 videos on social media showing this effect of having one's eyes working properly to one's self. It can be a significant difference, and in many cases, quite positive differences. The reason:It's the same dynamic feedback loop, but without information distortion, so the expression looks, feels and expresses naturally. They become accurate and ongoing, creating long lived expressions that grow instead of fade. I believe that this can be good for our mental health in a number of ways, however there is no research yet.
{{cob}}
My request is that someone help author entries into Wikipedia that reflect some of this, as I have struck out because it's original research not published, and because i have a commercial interest in it, it would be self-promoting.

Any ideas or network connections you could suggest on how to bring some of this new information to Wikipedia? I sincerely believe its compelling and worth it.

thanks

:<s>Speaking as someone with decades of experience as a Britannica editor, there isn’t anything wrong with what you intend to add so long as it is backed by reliable independent sources.

::I disagree with "the more sources you cite, generally speaking, the better". See [[WP:CITEKILL]].
::The entire purpose of a citation in Wikipedia is to verify one or more pieces of information in an article. If a reliable independent source verifies a piece of information, then adding a second source for the same information is irrelevant clutter.
::If a citation is not a reliable source, then it doesn't verify any information, and two, five, or twenty more unreliable sources still don't.

::::Wikipedia's notability guidelines don't really apply to in-article content as explained in [[:WP:NNC]]; moreover, the quality of the sources is really what matters when it comes to Wikipedia regardless of whether you're talking about [[:WP:NOTABILITY]] or [[:WP:VERIFICATION]]. So, more sources doesn't necessarily mean "better sourcing"; it can just as easily mean [[:WP:OVERKILL]]. If the OP, Jxwalter, is asking about how to create a stand-alone article about what he posted above, then demonstrating that multiple secondary reliable sources have significantly covered the subject matter will most certainly be useful in establishing the subject's Wikipedia notability; if, on the other hand, the OP just wants to add some of the above content to an already existing article, then a single secondary reliable source verifying the content can be sufficient as long as there are no [[:WP:UNDUE]] or other policy-/guideline-relaed issues, or [[:WP:NOTEVERYTHING|there's a not consensus in favor of not including the content]]. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 00:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I am wondering if anyone can point me towards the conventions for citing WWII draft cards. These can be accessed alongside census records on websites such as Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.

:::::: Short answer: you can't prevent someone else from creating an article while your article is in draft status. Just because you were first (to create a draft) does not give you [[WP:OWNERSHIP|ownership]] over the topic; Wikipedia topics/articles ''have no owners''.

:::::: If you have content that is missing from the article in mainspace (the published article), add it. If you have (good) sources/citations that are missing, add those. If you think your wording about a particular point of the topic is better than the wording currently in the published version, change the wording. Just remember that you're ''offering'' your changes to all other interested Wikipedia editors; if they are good changes, they are likely to stay, but if someone doesn't agree that the changes are better, you'll probably need to discuss that (on the article's Talk page), and see if a majority of (interested) editors agree with you.

== [[Eurovision Song Contest 2024]] - Israel ==
I have been advised by a [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Current disputes#Eurovision Song Contest 2024 - Israel|Dispute Resolution Admin that here is a better place for advice.]]

There are inflamed passions regarding the article.

There is one side who wants the whole article dominated by Israel as if Israel was the only country to be at the contest. Whereas I think that belongs squarely in the sub article in Israel at the contest.

Can some advice be garnered on how to move this forward or a bad situation will only get worse. [[User:PicturePerfect666|PicturePerfect666]] ([[User talk:PicturePerfect666|talk]]) 13:51, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

:The RFC on the talk page was a good move. It will bring outside opinions in, allowing the dispute to be resolved. I would say that the best way to move forward is to let the RFC resolve and respect the decision it comes to. You can make your voice heard in the RFC and try to convince people to take your side, but be careful not to [[WP:bludgeon|bludgeon]] the discussion.

== Long tables question ==

In a spreadsheet it is possible to lock cells, such as a header, so when you scroll deep into a table, the title information for what you are seeing is still there. Is this a function or feature that I could be adding to tables?

I get lost scrolling up and down for example in an artist discography table where I'm trying to see the chart positions in different countries.

== How to get a mentor? ==

Hello all. I see that some new editors are assigned a mentor to be there as a guide, support, etc. Such a cool idea. How are folks assigned to a mentor, do you have to sign up? Do you just reach out to an editor and ask? Thanks :) [[User:Taevchoi|Taevchoi]] ([[User talk:Taevchoi|talk]]) 16:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Taevchoi|Taevchoi]] We only have enough mentors for about 50% of new accounts to get them at present. However, if you were in the half that didn't, then you can activate the Newcomer Homepage at [[Special:preferences]] (at the bottom there is a check-box). Once you have saved that change in your preferences, the homepage tab will be visible when you navigate to your userpage and that tab has the name of your assigned mentor. [[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Mike Turnbull]] ([[User talk:Michael D. Turnbull|talk]]) 17:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|Gråbergs Gråa Sång]] Yes. I am a mentor and wanted to check out how the newcomer homepage tab worked and what it looked like: in activating it on my account I was assigned a mentor (whom I have never contacted).

::@[[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Michael D. Turnbull]], I'm in the 50% of editors who got a mentor. But now, two years after the Wiki start gate opened for me, I feel that so many senior editors have been like mentors in the Teahouse and other areas where we can ask questions that I'd be willing to "free up" my assigned mentor. Perhaps other editors would, too. [[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] ([[User talk:Augnablik|talk]]) 01:43, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Augnablik|Augnablik]] Yes, I made exactly that point to the Growth Team at [[WP:Growth Team features/Mentor list#Suggestion to "retire" mentees]] on 15 April. That team has taken up the suggestion but it is not yet implemented (see that thread). Incidentally, I find that most of the newcomers who are assigned to me as a mentor never make contact and of those who do, most do so only once. [[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Mike Turnbull]] ([[User talk:Michael D. Turnbull|talk]]) 10:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::::::Yes, my mentor dashboard is set so I get the "average" number. This perhaps explains why only 50% of new users on enWiki get the newcomer homepage. Note that, as I've already said, few of my assigned mentees ever contact me: about 30 have done so this year (see my Talk Page: they are the ones with timestamps in the section title, which is how this newcomer feature works). [[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Mike Turnbull]] ([[User talk:Michael D. Turnbull|talk]]) 14:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

::::The idea of assigned mentors is a nice “warm fuzzy,” and appreciated as we start out on our Wiki editing journey making our way through the fog.
::::But if (1) there aren’t enough mentors to go around; and (2) mentor-mentee interaction isn’t as strong as anticipated when the program was initiated; and (3) mentees find good support from non-assigned senior editors simply through discussion like here in the Teahouse, perhaps assigned mentors aren’t really needed.
::::But ''something'' is. For awhile, at least. What about occasional Internet forums via threaded message boards. These could be available for all new editors to take part in, within some sort of time frame like 6 months or a year after they come to Wikipedia.
::::Since newbies would interact with several senior editors rather than just one — and in addition, with fellow newbies — this could actually expand their sense of connection with Wikipedia beyond what they have in the current assigned mentor arrangement.

== An Important Message ==

My real name is Akhinesh and there are 8 account exist in Wikipedia and 7 of them are created by me. I don't think I created this account [[User:Akhinesh]] it was created on 2017 and I think this account is not my first account on Wikipedia because I don't remember. My name is rare and I created several accounts in Wikipedia because I created my first account and lost password so I decided to create another account and did the same thing again several times that's why I have more accounts on Wikipedia. This is not Sockpuppetry, While I created few account's using different usernames and I'm not pretending as someone on Wikipedia.

Please check all these 7 accounts and leave a message on my talk page, if I did something unacceptable

i have a last question, is it possible to get a User lifetime ban?

Please investigate, I'm so sad today and worried getting ban on Wikipedia.

Will I be unbanned once if I get banned?, I don't think I did sockpuppetry so why should I sad about these [[User:Akhinesh212|Akhinesh212]] ([[User talk:Akhinesh212|talk]]) 16:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

:Hello, {{u|Briannemartindale}}. I have looked at two of your articles that were turned into drafts, and the problems were not spelling and grammar. The problems were that the articles in question failed to make a convincing case that the people were [[WP:NPERSON|notable]] in Wikipedia's definition. I suggest that you develop drafts carefully, taking time to develop them until notability is well-referenced and indisputable, and the articles cleaned up.

{{od|12}} Hi {{u|Briannemartindale}}. Are you aware of [[:Wikipedia:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility]]? The members of that particular [[:WP:WPPJ|WikiProject]] seem to be interested in things that you're interested in; so, they might be good people to ask for assistance when it comes to types of articles you're trying to create. I've posted on that [[:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility#User:Briannemartindale and articles about royals/nobles|WikiProject's talk page]] to see if any of its members might be willing to sort of mentor you and help you with the issues you've been having. In the meantime, I suggest that perhaps you refrain in creating any more new articles directly in the mainspace, but instead work on improving those which have been draftified. While it's true that Wikipedia wants us to be [[:WP:BOLD]] when we edit (including when it comes to creating new articles), creating too many one or two sentence ones with inadequate sourcing or unclear claims of Wikipedia notability isn't a good idea; moreover, subsequently posting on the article's talk asking others to improve things for you is most likely not going to get many favorable responses. It's not a good sign when the articles you're creating are constantly being draftified because that pretty much always has to do with [[:WP:NOTABILITY]] and [[:WP:OVERCOME|not spelling and grammar]]. Maybe also take a look at [[:Help:Your first article]] and [[:Help:Referencing for beginners]] for some tips on how to write articles and how to add citations to articles. Anyway, continue to work on your drafts and submit them for review to [[:Wikipedia: Articles for creation]] when you think they're ready. Perhaps once you've established a better track record for creating proper articles, you might find the process to be a little less bumpy. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 21:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

== Does this count as a conflict of interest? ==

I was looking through recent edits and found an IP user that has only made edits about universities in their country. When I did a whois lookup on the IP address it showed as belonging to a government agency that helps universities communicate and collaborate on research. I know that if the editor worked for the universities it would be a COI but I'm unsure about a government agency that was made to work with universities. Does this count as a conflict of interest and if they're doing it as part of their job does it count as paid editing? [[User:RomeshKubajali|RomeshKubajali]] ([[User talk:RomeshKubajali|talk]]) 23:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
: In my opinion, that depends on the type of edit. If what is being added are things like university size, university history, or major degree programs, that wouldn't seem to me to be [[WP:COI|a conflict of interest]]. If, on the other hand, what is being added is text like "The university has major research collaborations with X, on the topic of Y, and with Z, on the topic of A, and is looking to collaborate with other universities regarding B, C, and D", then yes, that looks like a COI violation. -- [[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] [[User talk:John Broughton |(♫♫)]] 00:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

== The use of euphemisms and weasel words? ==

I have a question about Wikipedia style policies on the use of euphemism and weasel words, in particular as used in article titles. Eg. is it inappropriate to use the "unrest" as a euphemism for "riots". Do such style policies exist? Can someone point me to them?

== Draft status for SNL character article ==

I recently created an article that was intended to be a stand-alone page for [[List of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches#1995-1996]].

== articles getting moved to drafts and criticism ==

hi everyone

i keep getting my articles moved to drafts even with sources/ references

my other issue is that it is the same few people are doing this while everyone else is being very helpful and nice to me and is helping to edit and contribute to my articles

i have picked up criticism from the same few people and they are removing my articles to drafts repeatedly but everyone else is being nice to me and is helping me out

i would like to get this behavior stopped but i don't know how

i need help not criticism

:::No one is obligated to help you edit drafts that contain (at the moment) subpar material. Creating articles is one of the hardest things an editor can do on Wikipedia, and the drafting process is a proposed optional pathway where experienced editors can offer constructive criticism. You get this to stop by taking the time to figure out what makes an article acceptable on Wikipedia, and gradually apply those concepts to your drafts, such as [[WP:V|verifiability]], one of the core concepts of this online encyclopedia. —[[User:Tenryuu|Tenryuu 🐲]] ( [[User talk:Tenryuu|💬]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tenryuu|📝]] ) 04:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::@Briannemartindale. You keep refering to these things as {{tq|my articles}}, but there's really nothing about them that's yours per se as explained in [[:WP:OWN]]. Whatever you post on Wikipedia is only 100% yours up until you click the "Publish changes" button; once you do that you're irrevocably agreeing to allow others to edit it, even perhaps in ways that you mightn't like. The fact that the content we edit and create isn't really ours is probably one of the hardest things to get used to on Wikipedia, but it's something that we all have to come to terms with. The only thing that really matters is whether our edits are in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If we want more control and freedom, then we probably should look for [[:WP:ALTERNATIVE]]s that allow us to create what we want to create when we want to create. The hope is that through collaborative editing and adherence to relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, [[:WP:IMPERFECT|articles will be slowly improved over time]]; an article does, however, need a foundation to build on, and this foundation is Wikipedia notability. So, [[:WP:OVERCOME|it matters not how well written an article is if its foundation is found to be lacking]]. Draftifying articles is an alternative to nominating an article for deletion; it recognizes there might be some potential for a future article but its foundation is just too wobbly at the moment to survive an [[:WP:AFD]] discussion. Draftifying gives those interested a chance to strengthen the foundation and more clearly establish Wikipedia notability. As I mentioned in [[:WP:THQ#spelling and grammar help|another of your Teahouse questions]], creating one or two sentences stubs with questionable sourcing, no clear claim of Wikipedia notabilty and then asking others to fill in the gaps (i.e. establish the subject's Wikipedia notability) on the article's talk is not a good approach to take when trying to create articles; so, unless you slow down a bit and change your tack, you're likely going to find the articles you're creating starting to end up being nominated for deletion instead of being draftified. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 07:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

== "We need secondary sources not primary sources" ==

For the draft [[Draft:Kirchhoff-Clausius's Law]].
I don't understand, I have cited first secondary sources from Max Planck and others, then at the end primary sources, because primary sources are the origine of the Kirchhoff-Clausius Law. [[User:Malypaet|Malypaet]] ([[User talk:Malypaet|talk]]) 09:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Malypaet|Malypaet]] Can I comment that our encyclopaedia expects people to write introductory 'lead' paragraphs in Plain English, and should not expect them to dive straight into formulae? Whilst the concepts may be over my head, I would expect you to write an introductory statement something along the lines of ''"XXXs law is a scientific observation that shows a relationship between xxx, yyyy and zzz. It is defined nowadays as "insert quotation". The law was named after xxx and yyy, who published their initial findings in year x. The law was so-named by Max Planck in year Y. K-C's Law has significance in the field of xxxx"'' Only then would I expect the scientific explanation and equations that follow.
:I would point out that the translated citation you linked to does not verify that it was named by Planck - only that he refers to it as "Now according to the well-known Kirchoff-Clausius law..." Does that imply he actually named the Law, or was it already well-known and referred to elsewhere? Or are you inferring that he named it thus? A quick word search of Planck's German article did not reveal mention of either Clausius or Kirchhof's names in the text (but I might have missed it). I suspect the topic may well prove to be notable, but I feel your draft needs restructuring to make it understandable, and the sources showing notability more apparent. You note on your talk page that {{tq|"Publications on this topic are rare"}}, so it may indeed be that it does not require its own article here. But you could at least ensure there is, at least, a reference to their publications in the relevant scientists' biographies.

:{{editconflict}} Hi {{u|Ryanpaynter1}} - you don't appear to have published an article. The only edits I can see are to your [[WP:USERPAGE|userpage]]. Perhaps you were trying to create a draft at [[WP:AfC|Articles for Creation]]. That said, if what you've [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ryanpaynter1&oldid=1225312376 currently got on userpage] were submitted, I can assure you that would not be approved.

:Hello, Ryanpaynter1, and welcome to the Teahouse and to Wikipedia.
:I'm afraid that, like many people who come here for the purpose of promotion, you have fundamentally misunderstood what Wikipedia is.
:Please see [[WP:autobiography|autobiography]] to understand why writing about yourself on Wikipedia is very strongly discouraged.
:In addition, you have written your attempted autobiography on your [[WP:user page|user page]], which is not part of the encyclopaedia, and not an appropriate place to write an article.

In the first paragraph of the towns description there is an error in its location. It is not located anywhere near Skidegate inlet. They are about 30 Km apart.

: Hi IP 209.53.84.49. Have you tried discussing this at [[:Talk:Daajing Giids]]? Generally, the best place to discuss article content is on its corresponding article talk page because that's typically those most interested and familiar with the subject matter will be best able to respond. Article talk page discussion almost makes it much easier to keep all discussion relevant to the article in one place for archiving and reference purposes. As for {{tq|Try looking up Skidegate inlet on a marine map}}, generally that's not the best way to approach something like this; it's much more helpful for you yourself to actually provide a link to a [[:WP:RS|reliable source]] supporting the changes you feel need to be made instead of just saying to to others "look it up". You should also understand that a map is likely to be considered to be a [[:WP:PRIMARY]] source and this limits how they can be cited as a reference for Wikipedia's purposes. Wikipedia policy doesn't really allow use to interpret such a map ourselves, but we can cite interpretations made by [[:WP:SECONDARY]] reliable sources about the map and about the location of Daajing Giids. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 21:28, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

== Rejected Article ==

Hi Teahouse, my article [[Draft:Wancewot|Wancewot]] was just rejected because there were not enough reliable sources. The problem with this is that I wrote this article after hearing about the legend on my trip to Poland, and no one else had wrote about it! Other than one or two amateur websites made by locals, there are literally no sources to link to. When I heard this legend, I wanted to share it with everyone else because it is one of the myths the town of [[Wancerzów]] is based on, and the legend itself is very intriguing. Do you have any ways that I can get this through review? [[User:Blackwell09|Blackwell09]] ([[User talk:Blackwell09|talk]]) 21:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Blackwell09|Blackwell09]] Our advice is that this has, currently, no place on Wikipedia, and that another amateur website, ten other amateur websites, will not make it have a place.

== Wikipedia Commons Image Deletion ==

Hi,

I'll get right into it. About a year and a half ago, I took a rather bad photo of my grandfather, edited it using faceapp to give him a goofy, horrible, hairstyle and then inserted that image into his Wikipedia page. It was only for a joke, I just screenshotted it to send to him then removed it a few minutes later. But then, just earlier today, he texted me that it was somehow still on his Wikipedia page. I looked through the edit history and apparently someone had added clearly joke image back in March. I removed that image once again and replaced it with a better one, but the image still pops up when you search his name on google.

He just wrote a book and I feel horrible since that image is now online because it's in the Wikipedia commons. I'm not the best with tech so I had no idea that everyone would be able to see and upload that image. Can you please help me fix this and get that image off the Wikipedia commons? I submitted a removal request but as I said I'm not great with tech, I don't know if it went through. I also need to make sure it gets deleted. I don't want this to damage his professional career. I already feel horrible.
Here is the link to the Wikipedia commons page with the image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Darnton_2022_restaurant.jpg
Here is the link to his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Darnton

Please do what you can, I'm in a pretty desperate situation here.

:@[[User:Manisha asianet c|Manisha asianet c]]: {{welcometea}} Rather than continue to [[WP:EDITWAR|edit war]] over the article in conjunction with an IP editor, you're better off making [[WP:EDITREQ|edit requests]] on the article's talk page, as you have confirmed a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] in [[Special:Diff/1221162254|this comment]] of yours, suggesting that you're doing it for promotional reasons ({{tq|[...] which I felt necessary to add to the list as Wikipedia has a wider reach}}). —[[User:Tenryuu|Tenryuu 🐲]] ( [[User talk:Tenryuu|💬]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tenryuu|📝]] ) 16:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

== My mother was a creator. I am a professional writer about creators. Can I create a page about her? ==

[http://charleenkinserdesigns.com/ Charleen Kinser Designs] is a company that my mother, Charleen Kinser, ran from 1977 to 2002. She passed away in 2008. I am a professional writer about creators. I would like to create a page about her and her creative work (I have the archives and am the only surviving family member) but have read that one should not create a page about a family member because of COI. In this case, I am the one most qualified to write about her. See [https://www.maggiehohle.com/ my website] for proof of my professional status in this industry.

:@[[User:Maggiehohle|Maggiehohle]] It is not forbidden for editors with a [[WP:COI|COI]] to write draft articles for consideration by experienced reviewers. The process is described at [[WP:AfC]]. You should declare the COI and note that one of the things that Wikipedia is [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL|not, is a memorial site]]. You would benefit from reading [[WP:BACKWARDS|this guidance]] and note that we have many technical requirements for the way we do [[WP:CITE|citations]]. All this means that, despite your credentials, you may want to practice by editing existing articles before you take on the larger task of creating a wholly new one. [[User:Michael D.

:@[[User:Maggiehohle|Maggiehohle]] Welcome to the Teahouse. My mother was also an artist and book illustrator, working mostly for [[The Bodley Head]] in the 1950s-70s. Like you, I am most qualified to write about my own mother, and I definitely think she was 'notable'. In my life, at least!
:However, nobody else unconnected with her has every written and published a detailed, in-depth account about her life and her work (including her work in a wartime office drawing undercarriages of [[Lancaster Bomber]]s). For that very simple reason, she fails Wikipedia's [[WP:NBIO|Noptability Criteria]] and so there can never be a page here about her.
:So, my question to you is to ask if other independent sources have ever published detailed, in-depth biographical articles about your mother and her work? If so, then maybe she might be seen as [[WP:GNG|notable]] by Wikipedia's criteria. If not, then she, too, would not merit an article here, irrespective of how wonderful her work may have been.
:We do try to discourage people from writing about people they know or are related too, as they tend not to be objectively written, and are rarely based solely on published sources. I might therefore try to encourage you to contribute your skills in writing and research to improving other areas of Wikipedia that you are not directly connected with. This does tend to lead to better-written, neutral articles. I hope this helps. Regards, [[User:Nick Moyes|Nick Moyes]] ([[User talk:Nick Moyes|talk]]) 18:28, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

== General question about WP:Tea ==

So, I was looking at the “Other Areas of Wikipedia”, and the description for The Teahouse and the Help Desk seem very similar. Would it be a good idea for a noob/old rusty editor to assume that WP:Tea and WP:HD are roughly similar, with Tea being more reserved for basic questions?

:@[[User:The Phase Master|The Phase Master]] Welcome to the Teahouse! Yes - they're both very similar, but we do aim to welcome and support new users in particular, and in as friendly a way as possible. We have a less formal design layout here, too. And we do serve Tea to any editor, new or old. Here's one just for you! Of course, questions from anyone are always welcome. (The Help Desk does tend to take attract more technical questions, though.) Regards, [[User:Nick Moyes|Nick Moyes]] ([[User talk:Nick Moyes|talk]]) 18:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

== Fastest way to number a list article? ==

I need to number this list article - [[List of ethnic groups in Nigeria]] to be sure it is accurate, but I don't enjoy repetitive tasks so much. I wish there was an AI integration somewhere that can easily get this done for me...that's just a joke. My question is: what is the fastest way to number a list article such as this?
