have now realize that I didn’t understand much about Wikipedia policy. I mistakenly thought I understood a lot of it but I was wrong. I am not wanting money or recognition or selling anything. I never used a claimed of a university lecturer for any undue advantage and in any contents dispute. I was just overzealous. I want to fix my mistakes. I have shown improvements from criticism after the 2014 and 2016 AN/Is. I have improve in terms of creating articles about notable topics and interacting with new and established editors (,, , , . I apologize again for the errors I made and my misunderstanding. I didn’t understand I was making them. I regret them completely. I was overzealous and now I realize I should have been slower. I will be glad to work for the next one year to fix all of my mistakes and doing other work that the ArbCom may assigns me to do to improve Wikipedia in any way. ArbCom can use administrators or other supervisors to tell me what work to do to improve Wikipedia for the next year. I can explain to ArbCom about anything they have more questions about. I have already begun to clean up my articles (,, , , , , , , , , ,, ,, , , , , , , , ,.

Mentorship
and knows the rules of Wikipedia editing and said they have the time to supervise my work. If am allowed to continue editing under the mentorship of User:Cullen328 and User:Irondome, I will fix every problems associated with all the articles I created while I abide by the instructions of my mentors and all editing restriction imposed on me by ArbCom and the community.

Things I will do
 * I will not edit or create any medical related articles in the future but I will fix all mistake in all medical related articles and science articles I created.
 * I will use my sandbox for fixing all mistakes and not edit any articles in mainspace until Cullen says I’ve fixed every mistake in an article.
 * Then I will make the changes in the mainspace article without replacing the article if there have been any edits by another editor who is not me.
 * While fixing articles I will not remove any content from the articles unless I have to and unless they are totally irrelevant. I will first try to find sources for all article content. I will make all those changes in my sandbox then ask Cullen before making the changes in the article in mainspace.

Mistakes I made

I have been completely honest. I have admitted and explained as many mistakes as I could find in the time during this ArbCom case. I sometimes found mistakes I didn’t know about during the ArbCom case. I have been fixing articles and trying to work on the ArbCom case but I could not do the two at the same time. Here are mistakes I have fixed prior to using my sandbox; [], [], [], [], []. Here are the mistakes I have fixed using my sandbox;, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , I have been fixing mistakes and not covering my tracks. That is all I have been doing and responding to issues raised at ArbCom. since SlimVirgin gave me that instruction here. Later an Arbitrator told me to fix mistakes to an articles in my sandbox. I have already been fixing mistakes but not in my sandbox. Then I fixed mistakes in my sandbox. The the Arbitrator said I was to fix multiple articles in my sandbox and I am working as fast as I can to do that now while working with electricity out here and also preparing explanations for the Workshop page at the same time. I cannot do as much article fixing as fast as I would like because I also have to write here and communicate with ArbCom. I still want to be completely honest with every mistakes I made. These are the mistakes I have identify.

Mistake 1: Learn to cite every claim in sentence

When I am adding sources to contents, I never knew how to use enough sources so that the sources support the entire contents of the claim. I thought there was a limit on the numbers of sources I could use for one sentence.

In the article " Ahmed Tijjani Mora, I wrote " Ahmed Tijani Mora (born May 13, 1956) is a Nigerian hospital pharmacist, community pharmacist, industrial pharmacist and former Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria. Tijani Mora is the National President of Ahmadu Bello University Alumni Association”. I did it incorrectly before because ref1 only supported "Tijani Mora is the National President of Ahmadu Bello University Alumni Association" While ref 3 in the same section supported the claims except "Nigerian hospital pharmacist, community pharmacist, industrial pharmacist" which are supported by other sources in the article.

How I will fix Mistake 1

I have learn I can use as many sources as needed to support each sentence in an article, but not more sources than are needed or required. For example, I can use four sources to support a statement and one source to support another sentence.

Mistake 2: Use correct page numbers not extra page numbers in citations

When I write the citations I learned I have to use only the page number(s) in the citation that show exactly what is in the article claim in that sentence.

How I will fix Mistake 2

I show that I know how to do this now here:

Mistake 3: Cite Wikipedia contents when copying

I learned I made some mistake when I copied contents from another Wikipedia article. One mistake is not citing the Wikipedia article I copied from

How I will fix Mistake 3

I have now learned that any time I'm copying contents from other Wikipedia article, I must write the name of the copied article, using a link to it in the edit summary that says copied contents from the other article. Then people can see the page history for attribution. I will also leave a note on both articles talk pages of both source and destination just like I did and

Mistake 4: Check Wikipedia content sources before copying

Sometimes when I copied contents from another Wikipedia article in cases where I must mention the copied statements in the new article, I sometimes didn’t read the sources provided by the original author to confirm if it actually supported the contents I am copying. I often assume that the contents are supported by the sources. I regret doing this.

How I will fix Mistake 4
 * When I create new articles I will not copy content for other Wikipedia articles the way i did in the past.
 * If it becomes necessary for me to copy contents from other Wikipedia article, I will diligently verify the sources of content I copy from Wikipedia. This will ensure the article I put the information in is accurately supported the contents prior to copying.
 * I also know that if I find content that doesn’t support a claim I have to inform the community through an administrator to make sure the community knows what has to be fixed if I find a source that does not support Wikipedia content.
 * I will not create any new articles for the next one year.
 * I will only create new articles in my sandbox for another year after the first one year. Then I will ask Cullen if the new article can be moved to mainspace before I move the new article to mainspace.

Mistake 5: Make sure content copied from Wikipedia article is related to new article before copying

Words or sentence that are unrelated to the topics are likely to be present in the contents I copied from other article.

How I will fix Mistake 5

When I copy content from one Wikipedia article to another I will check every words in the new article to make sure it is related to the topic of the new article. I will look for this error in all of the Wikipedia articles I created by copying text from a different Wikipedia article.

Mistake 6: Read sources carefully

I haven't been reading every sources carefully both when I copied content from Wikipedia and also sometimes when I created articles without copying content from Wikipedia. For some articles I did read all the sources carefully and for others I did not. When I didn’t copy the sources and contents from Wikipedia I did read all of the sources but sometimes I did not read all of the sources carefully.

The fact that I have not been reading every sources carefully could leads to insertion of inaccurate contents to my articles.

How I will fix Mistake 6


 * While I fix mistakes for one year and if I’m allowed to create new articles only in my sandbox during a second year and forever after that I will carefully read all sources to insure it support every claim before inclusion and to insure only accurate words and statements in the articles.

How I will fix Mistake 7: Insure all content inserted is accurate 

The fact that I have not been reading every sources careful could leads to insertion of inaccurate contents to Wikipedia.

How I will fix Mistake 7

I will remove contents that have no support in the sources but I will only remove article contents after trying to find sources to support the true content. I will not try to fix articles by rushing to take out unsourced content. I will first look to find sources for content and add the sources. Only if I cannot find sources after trying will I remove unsourced content. I will do all of this in my sandbox then ask Cullen if I can make the changes in mainspace.

How I will fix Mistake 8: Insure all content inserted is relevant

I have not added sources that are irrelevant to article but the fact that I sometimes didn’t read the sources carefully most likely resulted in the addition of irrelevant contents to articles. Not all my articles have irrelevant contents or sources. This applied to some of my articles and the ones I copied from other Wikipedia article.

How I will fix Mistake 8

I will remove any sources that are not relevant to the contents of the article. I will carefully read every sources and never again add irrelevant contents to articles.

How I will fix Mistake 9: Use only sources that support content

Some of the sources I provided do not support the articles contents I created. This is true but not deliberate.

How I will fix Mistake 9

I will only include sources that says what is in the article under clean up and in later year when I am allowed to create articles in my sandbox.

How I will fix Mistake 10: Use only supported content

Some of the content I provided is not supported by sources. This is true but not deliberate.

How I will fix Mistake 10

I will remove contents that have no support in the sources but I will only remove article content after trying to find sources to support factually true content. I will not try to fix articles by rushing to take out unsourced content. I will first look to find sources for content and add the sources. Only if I cannot find sources after trying will I remove unsourced content. I will do all of this in my sandbox then ask Cullen if I can make the changes in mainspace.

Mistake 11: Avoid dead links so content can be verified later

I didn't know how to archive sources using the Wayback Machine and I never thought that links could go dead. I focus on Nigeria related topics. I noticed in the course of the ArbCom case that almost all the articles I created using Nigerian news website as sources are dead. I don't know why. I am now using archive links in citation, ,

How I will fix Mistake 11

I have learned to archive sources now and to linked to the archived sources in the reference source just as I did [ , here

How I will fix Mistake 12: Avoid typos that change meaning

Sometimes a typo like (II) not (IV) changes meaning of content. I did not read what I put in mainspace carefully after I labeled draft as final version and final as draft.

How I will fix Mistake 12

I will avoid typo that may change the entire meaning of a word such as rice and price.

How I will fix Mistake 13: Paraphrasing correctly

Sometimes I paraphrased overly closely.

How I will fix Mistake 13

I will paraphrase the contents of the sources correctly without violating WP:CV. I will do this by writing the content in my own words in a way that accurately represent the the information in the sources without close paraphrasing.

How I will fix Mistake 14: Checking that content is the correct version of my draft 

This is the mistake I made when editing with my phone, but it could happen if I edited more with computer. I saved a draft as final and a final version as a draft.

How I will fix Mistake 14

I need to draft articles in my sandbox and check them carefully three times to insure there are no errors. Then I will ask my mentor if I can move the articles to mainspace.

How I will fix Mistake 15: Using phone when I need computer to read some sources

It is hard for me to read some sources on my phone like pdfs.

How I will fix Mistake 15

I need to use my computer to check those sources. I will use my computer to read sources I can not read through my phone.

Mistake 16: Learn to use sandbox on phone or use computer to make sandbox

I am having trouble using my sandbox on my phone. I know how to use it on my computer.

How I will fix Mistake 16

I will learn to use my sandbox on my phone or I will use my computer to edit my sandbox

How I will fix Mistake 17: Understanding the correct license for file uploading

I am having trouble identifying the correct licence for image upload.

How I will fix Mistake 17

I have started reading the policies that guide images uploading. For the next one year, I will not upload any images to Wikipedia and after the one year, I will only uploasd images I took myself. I.e Images I press the camera to take myself. I will never received images from friend for uploading again.
