Hi - welcome and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. You may have noticed that Wikipedia already has a page for Philip Emeagwali. Your contribution, Philip-Emeagwali, duplicates that. The better solution would be to add to the existing page, instead of creating a new one. Your most recent additions, Philip Emeagwali on Globalization and Slave Trade, Philip Emeagwali on Brain Drain, etc, are not appropriate because they contain complete duplicates of the text you posted on Philip-Emeagwali, along with a speech. Wikipedia is not for original texts like speeches, only for encyclopedia articles. Some original text, like speeches, can be placed on Wikisource, but not here on Wikipedia.

 * Or, more to the point, as you most probably are Philip Emeagwali or one of his associates, you might like to note our policy on vandalism and specifically the section on spamming. --Robert Merkel 01:30, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
