Welcome!
Hello, Muhammad Idriss Criteria, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Federal Polytechnic Damaturu Yobe State


A tag has been placed on Federal Polytechnic Damaturu Yobe State 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 https://www.fedpodam.edu.ng/About. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 deleted 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. Mvqr (talk) 16:19, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Initiative for Equal Rights


A tag has been placed on The Initiative for Equal Rights, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.africaportal.org/content-partners/initiative-equal-rights-tiers/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Mirrors
Thanks for contributing to the article Gadar Tamburawa River. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Sam Kuru (talk) 11:34, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Again here, please be more careful when evaluating the sources you are adding. If it says the material comes from Wikipedia, then it is obviously not an acceptable reference. Sam Kuru (talk) 11:02, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, Thank you. Muhammad Idriss Criteria (talk) 11:14, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, here. One of those is the exact same mirror I warned you about above. It may be a good idea to stop adding sources until are able to evaluate them. Sam Kuru (talk) 23:17, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Additionally, this source literally is in a section that credits Wikipedia in the actual title. Here the 'wordaz' source notes "Meaning of Mmamu from wikipedia". I'm not clear on how you're reading these at all. Sam Kuru (talk) 23:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * More very, very clear sourcing to mirrors on Wase River and Hadejia River. Please consider this a final warning. Using fake sources is not acceptable. Sam Kuru (talk) 03:23, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Mamudo River moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Mamudo River. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Blocked
As you were warned several times before, and chose to re-add several mirrors back in to the article at Wase River, I've blocked this account for 48 hours. You're deliberatly adding fake sources to articles at this point. Once this block expires, you are free to continue editing, but future violations - especially re-adding the same fake sources - will lead to longer blocks. Sam Kuru (talk) 12:01, 15 August 2023 (UTC)


 * All the references added to the Wase River article are good I checked them carefully before I added them, and I got them from reliable and good source, you should not block me without a good evidence. Muhammad Idriss Criteria (talk) 12:22, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * On the "trek.zone" site, it notes "Based on: Wikipedia" very clearly after the text you cited. The "alchetron" site has a very clear link below the exact same text that notes "Wase River Wikipedia (Text) CC BY-SA" and links back to the article here. "geoview.info" is a garbage scraper that notes "Wase River is next to Wase River", and clicking through to the source links to Wikipedia again.


 * Exactly how did you check them "carefully"? How do you feel those meet our criteria for reliable sources? Walk me through your decision making process. Sam Kuru (talk) 12:33, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Kuru But all the references on Wase River are talking about whether in the future if you see that something is not in line with your plan, you should delete it and then announce that you have deleted it because it is not in line with your plan. Muhammad Idriss Criteria (talk) 13:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what you're trying to say. I'm looking for a detailed summary of how you are evaluating the sources which you claim are acceptable. Sam Kuru (talk) 14:56, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Kuru Ok, thank you. Muhammad Idriss Criteria (talk) 16:30, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

As you immediately used the exact same mirror again here, I've blocked this account until you put together a competent response. Clearly, there is some kind of competency issue here, or you are deliberately adding junk sources. Sam Kuru (talk) 10:49, 29 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @Kuru Please unblocked me Muhammad Idriss Criteria (talk) 12:12, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Unblock discussion Jan. 9, 2024

 * Sorry, this contains inaccuracies. Please rewrite -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * OK to unblock? Is this sufficient? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:26, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I mean, it's just completely wrong. This is, in essence, a competency and comprehension block and I'm not seeing anything in those unblock requests that would convince me that they have any grasp of the problem. The opposite, really. I'm not sure what a good compromise restriction would be here; avoid edits that require sources? Ideas? Sam Kuru (talk) 02:43, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Heck, that G13 that popped up below this section is another straight-up copyvio. Sam Kuru (talk) 02:45, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. After they did not respond, I got desperate. Now I know what to do.  I'm afraid your lack of understanding of WP:RS (you were close) and WP:secondary sources, and how to recognize a WP:mirrorsites as well as copying copyrighted content into Wikipedia preclude unblocking. --  Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:25, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
