Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Hello. Your recent edits to Nnamdi Azikiwe University appear to have added the names of a non-notable people to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:47, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nnamdi Azikiwe University. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Which part of "♦♦♦ Only add a person to this list if they already have their own article on the English Wikipedia ♦♦♦" are you having difficulty understanding? - Arjayay (talk) 20:42, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk)  21:49, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Adding sources
Please do not add bare URLs as references – if you intend to add a source, please make sure to add at least the minimum amount of bibliographic information about the source.

You have also been adding templates together with the references. Why is that?

Finally, and most importantly, please look carefully at the sources you add, and make sure that they meet the criteria for a reliable source and that they actually verify the information in the article. xwhos.com is not an acceptable source for a biography (for one thing, it is clearly marked as a Wikipedia mirror site!), a Google Books link to a book is not a source for the book winning an award, and a link to a commercial website selling a book is not a source for the claim "While the majority of her works were short stories for children, she also wrote some novels for adults". This information might be useful. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 18:54, 16 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I want to second this., please STOP adding both citation needed templates and bare URLs, as you did on Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o. -15:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Buchi Emecheta also needs attention for the same reason,.

Hello. Your recent edit to Anambra State appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:14, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Abia State. Stop what adding citation needed tags, communicate and address the concerns that have been brought forward to you. S0091 (talk) 21:29, 3 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the correction. Please give examples from what I did so that I will know where I got it wrong. I will appreciate it. Thank you. i am still learning. Anyaegbumercy (talk) 16:52, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Anyaegbumercy, thank you for communicating! And also thank you for your desire to improve Wikipedia. My issue, which others have expressed to you before in the above messages, is the volume of citation tags you are placing in articles.  It is fine to do it for a couple or so statements but an article should not be filled with them as that impacts readability.  If an article has that many issues with unsourced statements, it is better to place a tag at the top of the article.  See the Template:More citations needed tag which can be placed at the top of the article or if the issue is an entire section is unsourced, see Template:Unreferenced section that can be placed at the top of that particular section.  I also suggest being more clear in your edit summaries as to what exactly you are doing (is it adding a tag, adding a source, etc).  I am also pinging  and  as they have expressed concerns about your edits as well, in addition to  who kindly did some cleanup work.  One more question, this appears to part of an edit-a-thon or some type of competition.  If so, can you please tell me who the coordinator is or or link to the page where it is being organized?  Thank you again for responding! S0091 (talk) 21:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * ok. Thank you. Please what of citation needed found from Citation hunt? Is it wrong to add citation tag?
 * Please one more question. If I do copy edit in a sentence shouldnt I add it? Anyaegbumercy (talk) 21:50, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't quite understand your questions, Anyaegbumercy. In general you should not WP:TAGBOMB and if you are making a copy edit, you should be clear in your edit summary that it is what you are doing.  Currently, as far I can tell, your edit summaries for everything is simply "Added a citation tag #1lib1ref  #1AfLibWk" regardless of the what you are doing in reality.  Does that help?
 * Can you please answer my other questions about the edit-a-thon? I am assuming you are using "#1lib1ref  #1AfLibWk" for reason.  Also, I am striking the final warning I left you.  I just needed you to communicate which you are now and again. thank you. S0091 (talk) 22:06, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your patience. We were asked to add that to our edits. There is a 10 day training AFLIA started organising for us- the African librarians. The training started on 1st September. You may also find similar edits from my colleagues and it is counting for the editors.
 * Please what do you advise? Anyaegbumercy (talk) 22:15, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Is there a link to the edit-a-thon somewhere on a Wikipedia site or an editor here at that is an organizer that you can point me to? For example, the Username the person (or one of the people) that is doing the training and/or running the edit-a-thon.  Don't worry.  No one is in trouble but I think there are suggestions experienced editors can make to help the edit-a-thon be more successful so participants like yourself do not get warnings or complaints. S0091 (talk) 22:30, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * please let me give you the email address of some of them
 * Please I still appreciate your concern and bearing with my ignorance. Thanks
 * Anyaegbumercy (talk) 22:54, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Anyaegbumercy the issue is not you but perhaps the training you received. Those are things that hopefully will be improved in the future. I know you are trying.  Please be aware we not should post people's email addresses here so I will be requesting those be removed.  Again. not anything you purposefully did wrong.  I will be honest, and again this is not you, but I am disappointed there is not English Wikipedia contact that someone like me can contact with concerns and suggestions.  It really should not happen this way.  Not your fault or doing.  I am going to off for the next day or so will not be able respond immediately like I have but I one again appreciate your communication. S0091 (talk) 23:13, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I will communicate my experience to our facilitators during our next training session. I will be glad if they can contact you or your group. Some of our colleagues with genuine interest have  been blocked. I am  scared to make another attempt. Please dont get tired of assisting me. I will communicate you after our next training session. Your communication is helping to calm my nerves. Thank you Anyaegbumercy (talk) 15:32, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry to hear about editors being blocked, Anyaegbumercy and I am certainly not tired of assisting you. :) Like you, I am relieved now that we are communicating.  Please do not stop entirely what you are doing.  Adding citations along with making other improvements is a fantastic thing to do.  Just be more clear in your edit summaries what you are doing, which I think you are now.  If someone complains about anything you are doing, respond to the complaint and ask for guidance (WP:TALKPAGE is great guide to using talk pages along with WP:REPLYTOOL, including how to ping someone.  You are welcome to practice pinging me).  Most editors are happy to help and the Teahouse is also great place to get help. If you are in contact with other editors, please share the same.  If they are editing using a mobile device, they may not get notifications that someone has left them a message so ask them to check their talk page periodically. Yes, if you could please have one the trainers reach out to me on my talk page, that will be helpful. S0091 (talk) 18:13, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that I have been blocked. I do not know the reason. please what happened? I stopped editing since then. Our training will expire on 13th September and we were given some assignment to submit on 12th. Please what do I do? Anyaegbumercy (talk) 17:06, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Your User account is not blocked so it may be IP range you are using that is blocked. Can you please provide the message you are receiving? S0091 (talk) 18:07, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The message reads:
 * This IP address has been blocked from editing wikipedia because it is believed to be used by a peer-to- peer proxy service. This block will expire on 06:11, 14 September 2022 Anyaegbumercy (talk) 18:29, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you provide the ip address? S0091 (talk) 18:44, 10 September 2022 (UTC)


 * S0091 (talk) 18:47, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * please what am I supposed to do now? I dont know the IP address but it is the same network (9mobile) that I am using to edit wikipedia. Thanks for your understanding. Anyaegbumercy (talk) 19:10, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I have requested assistance from an admin above. Does the message give you the IP address?  Something like 123.456.789.0 or some other string of numbers? S0091 (talk) 19:21, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * No. I didnt see anything like that. Anyaegbumercy (talk) 22:56, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Since the account is now blocked directly, the IP block is irrelevant. JBW (talk) 19:26, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked temporarily from editing because almost all of your editing is disruptively adding citation tags and unhelpful citations. No doubt yu started doing this in good faith, being encouraged to do so by the organisers of the "#1lib1ref" scheme, but you have continued to do so after it has been explained to you that what you are doing is not helpful. The organiser of that scheme has been repeatedly informed as to why it isn't helpful, but takes no notice. It is unfortunate that their persistence results in good-faith participants doing unconstructive editing, and in many cases being blocked from editing, as that is the only way to stop them if they continue after being informed of the problem. If you return to editing then please don't return to the same unconstructive editing. The criterion should be whether an edit improves Wikipedia, not whether it increases your score in some ill-conceived competition. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. JBW (talk) 19:23, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you. We are undergoing training. Some articles were assigned to us. Far from it, its not a competition but to see how far we have learnt. No prizes to be won please. In a few days time, the training will end.
 * Please can you look at the article I edited "Bassari people" Mainly what was required was to add citations. But if you feel otherwise, you have the final say.
 * Please when will the penalty expire? Thanks Anyaegbumercy (talk) 20:41, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Anyaegbumercy, you are blocked for two weeks. Apologies this happened as it was not my intent but I understand why JBW, who is a kind admin, blocked you. Unfortunately, #1lib1ref and at least some of the organizers do not provide the appropriate training and it sounds like they at best provide little ongoing guidance, and at worse provide bad guidance.  This leaves other volunteer editors to clean up the messes, which quite frankly is not fair if not purely disrespectful of others time.  This not your doing.  It is a a failure of #1lib1ref.  S0091 (talk) 20:54, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. It's only painful that I will not be able to complete the training. It seems I am the only person blocked. The training is ending on 14th of September. What if I appeal, can i be pardoned?
 * Will it not be wise to contact our facilitators? In my own understanding, our practice was being pooled at the sandbox. Please remain my friend and see how you can help me and other fellow participants. Thanks Anyaegbumercy (talk) 21:08, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, S0091 is pretty well right. The people who organise this event don't seem to know what they are doing, and their "training" doesn't seem to train participants how to edit Wikipedia; on the contrary, it very often leads to total misunderstandings of how to edit. Exactly what they say to participants I don't know, but whatever it is that they say very often leads to an approach where editors give priority to quantity of editing over quality. As for your editing of the article Bassari people, there are some minor problems, such as not using proper Wikipedia formatting, but by far the biggest problem is with unsuitable "references". For example, to the statement "Most of the group are animists, with a significant minority of Christians (both Catholic and Protestant). Very few Bassari are Muslims" you added citation to a reference which doesn't even mention muslims or islam, let alone say that there are few of them, and although it does briefly mention christianity, it says nothing at all about how many christians there are. I also discovered that you gave a reference to https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/2403717, which is useless, as its content is copied from the Wikipedia article in question. These are the kinds of things the organisers of this event should be teaching participants about, but they don't. If you choose to make an unblock request, make it clear that you do now understand issues such as these, and will avoid making similar mistakes again. In the past attempts to communicate with the organisers of events like this have led nowhere. JBW (talk) 21:13, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok. Can I be allowed to remove all the unnecessary citations?
 * Please when can l make the request for the unblock. Thanks Anyaegbumercy (talk) 21:23, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @JBW would you consider amending to block to be only applicable to mainspace which would allow Anyaegbumercy to participate in "training" (such as it is) via a sandbox? Anyaegbumercy, this block does not impact the relationship we have developed.  I will continue provide guidance/advice.  You do need to learn how to ping though.  21:34, 11 September 2022 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 21:34, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * please what was his reply to the request you made on my behalf. All those articles assigned to us were designed for sandbox. The 3 assigned to me were
 * fali people
 * Bassari people
 * Shai Hills.please check, they are all sandbox articles. Thanks for everything.
 * Anyaegbumercy (talk) 21:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * No, you were editing mainspace, where the "real" article is, not a sandbox, a place where one just practices. You can copy an article into a sandbox for a limited time to test/practice, though.  Maybe this is a misunderstanding?  It should have part of training.  JBW has not replied and it may be day or two. S0091 (talk) 22:04, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * kindly follow it up to see how you can help me. All these your explanation are very important and useful. They are useful tips one should know before hand. Thank you Anyaegbumercy (talk) 01:55, 12 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I have taken up 's suggestion of restricting the block to mainspace, which means you can edit any pages except articles. However, if you can convince me that you thoroughly understand the reasons for the block, and will not make the same mistakes again, I will be willing to remove the block. I will aslo be happy for  any other administrator to do so without consulting me if you can convince them of the same thing. JBW (talk) 09:38, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your understanding and kindness. Please i will be glad if S0091 who has been kind to can advise me on what to edit. It's obvious one needs more time to learn and more skills to do commendable editing. Thank you so much. Anyaegbumercy (talk) 11:10, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I have copied Bassari people to your sandbox (User:Anyaegbumercy/sandbox) using a version prior to your edits so you can practice. You can read more about creating user sandboxes (User subpages) here.  If you copy an article, you must put in your edit summary that it is a copy.  See my edit summary I used for your sandbox as an example.  Once you are done practicing, place  at the top so it can be deleted.
 * Tips for copying articles: use Source editing mode rather than Visual editing, click anywhere in the text space of the article, press the Control key (may be labeled "ctrl" - usually in the lower left of a keyboard) and the letter "a" at the same time to select everything (it will highlight all the text letting you know you have selected it), then Control and "c" to copy everything, in the sandbox/User subpage Control and "v" to paste, add your edit summary, then publish. S0091 (talk) 14:42, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. When my network improves, I will go to my sandbox. Please thank you for intervening on my behalf. I am grateful. Anyaegbumercy (talk) 14:57, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I have looked at my sandbox. I have also seen the article on Bassari people the way it was before I made my edit on it. I have also seen that the references I added was not adequate. I have not been able to get a better article for now, so I will withhold further editing until I get suitable articles. Thanks for letting me know that.
 * Please may I request that you help me. We are done with the training on basics of editing on wikipedia. Yesterday we started another training on wiktionary. This one is aimed at creation of Igbo dictionary on wikimedia. It has nothing to do with wikipedia or editing of any article. I plead that my account should be unblocked so that I can see my edits. Presently, I cannot see my edits. Kindly help me as you have always done. Thanks 41.190.3.40 (talk) 10:40, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You should still be able to "see" Wikipedia but cannot make edits in mainspace. As JBW instructed above, you can make an unblock request. The instructions are in the block notice.  If you are having issues on Wiktionary, you will to address it there as this block is only relates to English Wikipedia. On another note, the Igbo Wiktionary sounds like fun project! S0091 (talk) 17:36, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * With your assistance and that of S0091, I have realised where I got it wrong. i dont think I was properly guided before I commenced editing. Same thing happened to some of my fellow trainees. I think I need further guidance before I make further move. I am therefore requesting that you lift the ban and unblock me. Please even when the ban is lifted, always call me to order. I learn better when you show me where i got it wrong as well as point me to the right cause to follow. Thank you 41.190.30.56 (talk) 19:49, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not the one who blocked you and I cannot unblock you because I am not an admin. Please see the above block notice for the instructions on how to request to be unblocked, although it will end in two days anyway. To be honest, I am concerned you do not read or either do not understand guidance you are given.  You have been told how to request to be unblocked several times now.  I have also directed you to instructions on how to ping which you have yet to do.  S0091 (talk) 20:21, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
