Disambiguation link notification for October 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nico Kaiyamo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Namibian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

 * ✅, I sorted that out for you. Instead of linking Namibian you can simply type Namibian instead. The appearance will be the same, and the link will lead to Namibia, instead Namibian. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 07:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

October 2012
Hello, I'm 117Avenue. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Smosh that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 117Avenue (talk) 02:27, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi 117Avenue, I am not quite sure if I understand well what you mean...but what I actually did was to redden the names of the Smosh two actors as a suggestion that those two need separate articles(just in case someone else wants to write them) ,Well if I am wrong I would love to practice more, thank you for suggesting ! Elianamwiha (talk) Elianamwiha 08:22, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Eliaser, I agree with your assessment; your edits were clearly not a test. However, you did not make the links red, but blue; both entries Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox already existed when you made this edit. The reason that it now does not make much sense to link them from Smosh is that both are redirects: empty pages that link back to Smosh. These wikilinks thus "lure" potential readers to click on them for further information, but all that happens after they are being clicked is that the Smosh page is reloaded. I would thus also have undone your edit, the relevant guideline is WP:ASTONISH. Thanks for sticking around, cheers, Pgallert (talk) 13:17, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Peter, Thank you once again, I just checked the revisions now and notice that they were actually redirecting back to Smosh and not to the actors articles. Sure,will always try to make a little contribution to wiki whenever I can,everyone need a hobby, wiki happens to be my hobby. Cheers Elianamwiha (talk)Elianamwiha 13:54, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Namibia Qualifications Authority
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Namibia Qualifications Authority, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.afdevinfo.com/htmlreports/org/org_69297.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 07:14, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I am sorry MadmanBot, but your bot appeared to have failed you this time ,the site you provided is actually a mirror site. I in fact took contents from NQA official website and rephrases them with additional contents from other sites as referenced. Better luck next time... Elianamwiha(User talk:Elianamwiha) Elianamwiha 07:22, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Eliaser, just another hint at improving your articles: Someone tagged the NQA article as "orphan", that means that Namibia Qualifications Authority is not properly linked to from other Wikipedia pages. Readers will not have an easy way to find this article. If you want to solve an issue like this, think of what articles might be there that should reasonably link to Namibia Qualifications Authority. You can find out what already links to it by clicking "what links here" in the left column of links.
 * Applied to the NQA article I found that Tjama Tjivikua was the only article linking to it. But it makes sense, I think, to include information about the NQA at Education in Namibia and at Government of Namibia. I have done that just now, and at three incoming links (minimum) an article is not considered to be an orphan anymore. Thanks for developing content on Namibia, cheers, Pgallert (talk) 21:22, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Noted ! Thanks Peter ,will be more careful next time . Have a very good weekend. Elianamwiha(User talk:Elianamwiha)Elianamwiha 14:18, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks a lot Peter, you recall correct. It has been a lot of fun editing Wikipedia thus far - all thanks to you and the Polytechnic team. Again, highly appreciated !! Elianamwiha (talk) Elianamwiha 16:41, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Universidade Mandume Ya Ndemufayo


A tag has been placed on Universidade Mandume Ya Ndemufayo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.4icu.org/reviews/universities-english/15228.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by 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 removed 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's policies and guidelines.

Copyright
Instead of adding more copyright violations, why don't you show some good faith and tell us which of your other contributions you copied from somewhere else? Siuenti (talk) 17:20, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Siuenti (talk) 21:31, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am an administrator on this wiki. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policies. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:54, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

March 2017
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:51, 13 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Diannaa, Regarding the recent indefinite blocking of User: Elianamwiha from editing, I think it's unfair, uncalled for and an absolute over use of your administrator authority.

Consider this, the user in question has been on Wikipedia for well almost a good decade, and has made well some very excellent edits over the years especially those having to do with sub Saharan Africa.

Please also note that the user is among the few from Namibia (if you even know where that's located), and has been at the forefront among a handful of user from that region who have contributed contents of interest to Wikipedia despite the recent copyright violation.

Now tell me this, have you even gone through all the users edits, or at least a few? Have you gotten the time to accurately and without bias assess the decision whether to block the user or not. Also, I think one can't be too condescending especially not on the internet.

Now with regards to the copyright violation claim, the user has made reference to sources, despite minor hiccups here and there, was he supposes to suck all the information from the fingertips rather? Note that most of the information in the user edits are public information, while it is easy (perhaps for you) to observe all protocols during your edits, it is important to note that most users are novice and have not gotten sufficient training. It is a learning process and it is best if given utmost patient and necessary help, instead of trolling users and condemning them to eternal hell at the first turn.

Again. Allow me to reiterate the fact that you miserably failed to assess and rationalize before making the blocking decision. Wikipedia can certainly make use of said user, albeit with discretion now and then. I think demographic if not racial bias motivated your decision to block certain users. Your indefinite blocking of user will lead to the decrease of an already declining wikipedia community especially among the already underrepresented parts of Africa. I hope you reconsider, also start getting Namibian related content or block me as well.

BringBackFairness.

Regards, Yakambonde (talk) 08:14, 22 March 2017 (UTC) -

The reason we started using indef block is because if we do it that way the editor cannot resume editing until they provide us with a clear statement that demonstrates that they have read and understand our copyright policy and intend to follow it in the future. There's been many people who simply resume what they were doing, to the detriment of the encyclopedia. Copyright is a very serious issue on this wiki and this is one of the ways we are trying to control it. Sorry if that seems harsh. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Elianamwiha! You perhaps didn't notice it, but your own talk page is still editable under your normal account. I'm sorry that you've got into trouble here. Now, to continue editing under another account makes matters worse. As does playing down the events that got you blocked. Even if it hurts you, I have to say that there's nothing wrong with block---Wikipedia is published under a license that allows re-use. That's why we cannot accept copyright violations: We would not only get ourselves into legal trouble but also the readers who trust us that they can re-use the content without paying.

As the one who introduced you to this place, and as an editor who just like you wants Namibian content on the English Wikipedia, I ask you to reconsider: If you read the admin's comment carefully you should see the road to your return. "Indefinite" does not mean "forever". It only means "We don't know yet if and when we can unblock". You still have my email if you need assistance. With best regards, Pgallert (talk) 09:26, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Immanuel Elifas Kauluma
Hello Elianamwiha,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Immanuel Elifas Kauluma for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was created in violation of a block or ban. Content created by banned users will be deleted immediately.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
