Thank you for contributing to the article Mambwe people. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. Sam Kuru (talk) 19:32, 17 December 2023 (UTC)


 * The edits I made are factual these names I added are for the people in my community and identity as Mambwe. Only a person who doesn't know anything about Mambwe People would edit them out and call it unrealiable. Afrojam365 (talk) 06:43, 21 December 2023 (UTC)


 * You will need to find reliable sources that support your assertions. You cannot use Wikipedia itself as a source, and 'prabook' is a copyright-violating scraper that copies other sources, including Wikipedia. You have a great opportunity to share your knowledge of the Mambwe people, but we still need to adhere to our standards for sourcing and verification. Sam Kuru (talk) 11:52, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It's clear you did not read through my sources, for your information they did show that these people where either born in Mbala and identify as Mambwe, yes I did use one or two Wikipedia links but most are from their blog posts or news sources. Afrojam365 (talk) 12:25, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I did. We can step through them link by link if you'd like. Please note that for a "notable people" section like this you need two things to show they meet the criteria for the list: evidence of notability, and evidence that they are explicitly part of that ethic group. For the first part, you can show notability by linking to an existing Wikipedia article or through an external reliable source that shows they'd likely meet our standards for notability. For the second part, you'd need a reliable source that directly states they are Mambwe. Reliable sources do not include wikipedia, wikipedia mirrors, blogs, spotify song lists, user-generated wix sites, etc. If you'd like, a draft article could be created and you could get more feedback, rather than trying to edit a live article.
