Welcome!
Hello, John Oyewale, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

I don't think that it's unreasonable to assume you are him when the title of the draft you wrote about him was Draft:John Oyewale Articles and almost all your edits have been about him. It seems likely that you have a conflict of interest, which you are required to disclose. Please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * Your text was almost totally unsourced apart from two refa which were both interviews with him, not independent third party sources. You also have some other links at the bottom, but I don't know why they are there
 * You claim that he has won an award, why is the reference an interview with him, and not the awarding body?


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * promotional tone includes he was only showing his love for music... got him visibility and fame on Facebook and YouTube... encouraged and inspired him to write his own song ...


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. You had some links to external sites.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  09:23, 26 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Jim,
 * thanks for your response and and the vivid clarity in it.
 * Trust me I'm beginning to like you already, i was enlightened no doubt.
 * So i have gone through all that you advice me to read and i sure know what my mistakes are now. You were right by thinking i had a conflict of interest, but not so enough for me to intentionally violates the rules and write unacceptable articles.
 * I am a paid editor, but from the insight i got through your help, i now know what to do as a paid editor to get my articles approved.
 * Although you were wrong about the fact that i don't own the copyright to the article. I did write it myself.
 * Now i know better though, i would prefer to start all over again with the article, but this time around a better and well sourced article.
 * Thanks for reaching out and clarifying
 * Expect an article from me soon
