Welcome!
Hello, Ikechi18, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!

August 2018
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Nicki Minaj. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 22:26, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Nairaland. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. – Ammarpad (talk) 04:03, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. 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:.

Unblock request

 * What do you intend to edit instead? stwalkerster (talk) 17:59, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

i will add appropriate links this time, no more adding of irrelevant linksIkechi18 (talk)


 * There are many other ways you can contribute to Wikipedia besides adding links. I'd suggest finding some of them to focus on at first.
 * So, can you give a specific example of an edit you'd like to made if unblocked? Include the target article, what you'd change, how you'd change it, and the sources that support your change. —C.Fred (talk) 18:29, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

i will correct any grammatical errors and replace dead links, and also add more information on any article i am knowledgeable about, thanks Ikechi18 (talk)


 * So, can you give one specific example of such an edit? —C.Fred (talk) 18:46, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

example in this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olamide, i can add more details concerning his awards and norminations, Ikechi18 (talk)


 * This is the last time I will repeat my question. What specifically would you change in the article? You may want to phrase your answer in the form of "In section W, I would change X to Y, and the information can be verified in source Z." —C.Fred (talk) 18:55, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

example in this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Nigeria, in the notes section there are some spam links there e.g gakaza.com, i would remove them or replace them to a better link for downloading music such as naijaloaded.com.ng/download-mp3/ Ikechi18 (talk)


 * You're halfway there. I agree that gakaza.com is not an acceptable source and should not be listed. However, listing other download sites is not any better—not to mention the concerns over copyright. Try again, and focus on information that can be backed up from reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 20:40, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

please sir give me a chance, i promise not to add any unnecessary links again, please Ikechi18 (talk)
 * We have offered you the standard second chance. You have not taken us up on the offer yet. —C.Fred (talk) 12:09, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
