File:Lara and the Beat.jpeg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Proposed deletion of File:Araromire OST.jpg


The file File:Araromire OST.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in The Figurine. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:31, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings in Africa
Hello. I happened to recently stumble back across this page that I had spent a decent amount of time editing last year, only to find that you reverted all of my edits. It would have been nice if you had reached out to me first before doing that. If you actually look at the content of the page after my edits, I had simply cleaned out all the buildings that had been cancelled, or had no source or evidence of ever existing. I also added sources for every single building that was left on the page. The edit that you reverted to had many missing citations, poor overall formatting, and incorrect content. I'm planning on reverting back to my revision, while including any recent changes when I get a chance, but I wanted to let you know in case you had a reason for the original revert, and to hopefully prevent you from undoing all my work again.

Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 22:32, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, I don't see what is currently wrong with the formatting of the page as it is now. Also, contrary to what you claimed, the state of the article which I reverted had so many entries without citations (they were actually removed). Now almost all the entries have some citation backing up the figures. If you intend to remove specific buildings from the list or remove citations, it would be good for you to discuss it first on the talk page before making such major changes. If not, such removal of content would be considered disruptive and removed. Cheers!--Jamie Tubers (talk) 09:47, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

WikiAfroCine Months of African Cinema in Scots language
Hi Jamie Tubers, as a project coordinator of the WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema, I would like to clarify whether Scots language entries are accepted in this contest. It's not for me but for the user MJL with whom I contacted via Discord app where I asked for the volunteers to join the contest. I have noticed mainly French, Spanish, Hebrew language articles are added in the contest. I suggest you to accept their Scots language entries as well. Thanks. Abishe (talk) 13:17, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi ,


 * Thank you very much for this message. Definitely contributions in any language are very welcome! Just include them in the article achievement list; you can also create a local contest page on the scots Wikipedia and list those contributions there (the Spanish community is doing this, and Hebrew community did that last year). To the second part of the question, in order to be able to appropriately assess contributions in Scots language for the purpose of prizes, we would need one or two or more (depending on the number of entries) volunteers from the community, who can help with the jury process. Is that something you can help set up?


 * Thank you very much once again!--Jamie Tubers (talk) 11:54, 28 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply and I have pinged a user who is active in Scots Wikipedia and I suggested to check the entries. Well only one participant has created entries in Scots language and there are only three of them. So I hope there is no need to create a separate contest page in Scots version. Is that fine enough. Happy editing! Abishe (talk) 13:38, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Indeed, if it's few people participating, there's no need for a separate page. Also, we'd probably need just one local jury, who would be able to go through the articles and assess them against the criteria. Cheers!--Jamie Tubers (talk) 13:54, 28 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Well, I got it and I can make sure to assess those articles within these couple of days. I also got another question for you and I think you would be busy but still wanted to clear from you. I referred to Pulse Nigeria website for the contest purpose and I was bit surprised to see that one of the news item has included a screenshot of Wikipedia article List of highest-grossing Nigerian films. I hope that Pulse Nigeria source is reliable. Cheers and have a good day! Abishe (talk) 15:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi . Apologies for the late response....for some very weird reason, I didn't get a notification of a new message on my talkpage; I only just noticed that there was a new response on this thread. Thank you very much for volunteering to help review those articles! I would contact you once it is time, which is basically in the next 2 to 3 days :). About your question... yes, pulse is generally considered reliable....most especially for entertainment news.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:09, 11 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Its okay. Cool and I can understand you are not much active nowadays. I understand it. Thanks for clearing my doubts on Pulse Nigeria. Abishe (talk) 03:49, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Requests for uncreated articles
Greetings & a great weekend to you all. I believe it would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities. Sent by.

Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema/Users By Articles
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema/Users By Articles, I had the idea that using piped links to display article names partly in italics, as is typical on disambiguation pages, would be a good idea. See, for example, Banaras (disambiguation), which includes piped links to display film names within wikilinks in italics. Is there a reason you made changes like from
 * : 🇲🇺Benares (film)- Wikidata Item (1+0+0.5 =1.5)

to
 * : 🇲🇺Benares (film)- Wikidata Item (1+0+0.5 =1.5)

Question
Hey man, am new to wiki, would like to know how to earn money through Wikipedia? Dangbenzy (talk) 11:59, 31 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, Wikipedia is a free encyclopaedia, written by volunteers who are passionate about free knowledge. So, you practically can't "earn money" through Wikipedia. Cheers!--Jamie Tubers (talk) 21:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * @, following what JT already told you, I’d like to add that no editor with integrity ever edits for pay. However, Yes! you may earn money by editing Wikipedia(creating articles for individuals) but it is generally frowned upon & something I myself would never advise or encourage. See WP:COIBOARD, WP:COI & WP:PAID & be pedantic when following the instructions there. Celestina007 (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Questions About The September 2020 Black Lunch Table
Good evening sir. Please I am confused and need guidance and assistance. First of all, the instruction said that contestants for the BLT must become an editor at the Outreach Dashboard contest page to contest. Whenever I go to the page it is all blank and I don't see anything. Secondly, the instruction said that the articles must be a black artist who does not have a Wikipedia page. Does this group of artists also include singers, dancers or actors? Thirdly, I don't know how or where to click so that I can create the page or insert my article. Sir, I will be very glad and grateful if yoh respond sooner with a positive answer or feedback toball my questions. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chinedum Maduemezia (talk • contribs) 21:51, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, when you visit the dashboard page, you should see a button which allows you to sign in through your Wikipedia account. If you are unable to follow through with that, you can just still list the articles you have created at the bottom of the page and your entries would be noted. The focus of the black lunch table is more on visual artists, but other forms of arts would be accepted for the contest as well. For information on how to create Wikipedia articles, checkout this guideline. Let me know if there are further questions.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 02:00, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

John Boyega
Hi

I am sure you will realise that I have changed the page again.

I hope we can come to some agreement over this.

The issue is simple - nationality and ethnicity.

He is British, but he is not Nigerian.

He is British, and of Nigerian descent.

We can call that British Nigerian, that is fine.

THe problem is that using the hyphen turns it from ethnicity to a dual citizenship.

For example, if I held British and American citizenship, and British was my original, it would be British-American - and my nationality would be British/American.

If American was my original, it would be American-British - and my nationality would be American/British.

If I was only a British citizen, and of American descent, it could be written as British American - and my nationality would be ONLY British.

I hope this clears it all up :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 12:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, all you have stated actually don't follow a clear logic, and they aren't supported by Wikipedia's manual of style either. The only thing I can see you doing on that page is trying to erode John's obvious identity; an identity which he has constantly claimed. He has never hidden that he is Nigerian. He says it all the time, there are tones of sources saying that. Quit trying to appropriate him into "just being british".--Jamie Tubers (talk) 16:36, 16 September 2020 (UTC)


 * They most certainly are - it is the standard way of almost every non-American manual of style. Chaosdruid (talk) 09:44, 17 September 2020 (UTC)


 * BTW, in case you're still confused, here's a twitter post from him where he explicitly stated that he holds Nigerian passport. So, there's in fact no legal justification to try to detach him from his own nationality AND citizenship.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 16:52, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Lol - no need to assume bad faith, I certainly haven't, even though your messages and lack of interaction might be construed otherwise.
 * I have NO ISSUE with anyone having whatever nationality they wish, but with out a reference, etc.
 * Glad to see you found one, and managed to make the article better by showing we don't just make sh*t up :¬)


 * Maybe, in future, provide evidence like the twitter one much earlier?


 * Cheers Chaosdruid (talk) 09:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I assumed bad faith because you were starting to act in bad faith. No, I don't need to provide primary sources to prove any information on Wikipedia, most especially as you didn't provide any source that was actually disproving that piece of information. I provided you with several reliable sources proving that information, but you chose to dismiss them, and making condescending remarks about the sources "not being british". Then you tried to justify your removal by adding a british source which doesn't even negate the inclusion, but unsurprisingly chose to stick with John's british identity. If I wanted to follow in your footsteps, I could also dismiss your british source, because "it not Nigerian". Or you thought playing that card is reserved for only British Wikipedians? Next time, please leave your nationalistic attitude in your house; then read and understand Wikipedia's Manual of Style properly. Also read and understand what a reliable source is. That is, if you are genuinely interested in building a global encyclopedia, that Wikipedia is.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 18:43, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

The Incoherence of the Order of Heads of State
Hello Jamie Tubers,

It seems the need arises to clarify previous "en masse" edits on the articles which were reverted perhaps unwittingly and in an attempt towards not seeking to tarry ennui between one and the other; for the sake of brevity to seek your edification on the subject matter and its dichotomous relationship with the "presidential order". As with most things, it is no addition to the body of knowledge for a student of modern Nigeria to come to the inherent realisation that our current dispensation with the advent of the rise of the nation-state in our affairs was most emphatically heralded by the doctrine of militarization of politics. It is therefore safe to proceed on this same inclining that regardless of an attempt towards national republicanism and its tumultuous ramifications this stark distinction still exists, so much so that ten out of fifteen heads of state are ideologues of that doctrine; with the exception of two who ruled as titular military Presidents of Nigeria (Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar) the remaining eight reigned as titular Head of State of Nigeria and with the most recent example of two former heads of state (Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari) going on to become President of Nigeria in this century and further obscuring the order as it were since they ruled as heads of state in the earlier politico-military tradition and not as part of the "presidential order".

The edits as it were, therefore was not an attempt to ignorantly make changes without recourse as was ascribed to them in an earlier talk-page message but instead to reflect these distinctions as elaborated above. In all sincerity, the error one made was to in fact not reach out to thorough-bred editors like yourself on the subject instead of going on carte-blanche.

Thanks,

Welcoming New Volunteers
 WikiProject Nigeria



Note that the dates observed in bold under the underlined title of message help reflect and clarify the most current & oldest messages with the most current being at the top and the oldest being at the bottom.

Welcoming New Volunteers  (25/06/2021)  We hereby want to officially welcome new volunteers who have recently joined the collaborative project and have volunteered to work in WP:NIGERIA. The arrival of new volunteers is often associated with the confusion of “what to do” on their part, it is then behoove of us to treat them with care, guide them, and protect them from the general pitfalls a new editor would most usually fall into. We are also admonished to clean up after them if they err and encourage them, most especially when they are genuine editors with potential to do good work not just for us, but for the community as a whole. Once more, we hereby thank all new editors who have volunteered to work here and hope they enjoy their stay here. Requests for uncreated articles  (24/1/2020)  Greetings & a great weekend to you all. It would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities.

My articles
Hello. I saw that, there is something going on about my creation of articles. I created articles in the last year as well. I accept that, there are some spelling errors in the articles. Because, when I am writing the prose, there may be some errors. But they are not intentional. However, you are the head of the competition. So, before creating new articles, can I know about my status, whether you are going to disqualified me from the contest? But as far as I know, I can fix my errors and create better article, just as in the last time. I will accept anything you tell me. Thank You.. Gihan Jayaweera (talk) 02:58, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Linda Ejiofor.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Linda Ejiofor.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

Replaceable fair use File:NECOM House.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:NECOM House.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:54, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:NECOM House.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:NECOM House.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:46, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Clara Ikemba.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Clara Ikemba.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

Suggestion for Archiving Your Talk Page
Hello ,

I hope this message finds you well. I've noticed that your Talk page has grown quite extensive, with over 3100 lines, which is more than the lines of code used to send Apollo 11 to the moon! This is a testament to your active engagement on Wikipedia. However, I'd like to suggest considering archiving some of the older discussions, especially those dating back to 2020 or earlier.

Archiving can lead to several benefits, including:


 * Better Organization: It makes it easier for you and others to navigate through current discussions without scrolling through a long history of past conversations.
 * More Conducive Conversations: With a cleaner Talk page, it becomes simpler for other editors to engage in ongoing discussions and for you to manage responses.
 * Improved User Experience: For users on older computers or slower networks, a shorter page can significantly enhance loading times and overall accessibility.

If you're unsure about how to archive your Talk page, you can find detailed instructions here. I'm also happy to assist if you need any help.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. Your contributions to Wikipedia are greatly valued, and I believe that archiving could make your Talk page even more effective as a tool for collaboration.
