Date format
Hi, and welcome. I noticed you adding commas to the date format in COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. Note that a comma here is not correct WP style. So "14 February 2020" is correct, not "14 February, 2020". American date formats do use the comma, so "February 14, 2020". See Acceptable date formats. Greenman (talk) 13:35, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. AdaObuezie (talk) 10:34, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Mirrors
Thanks for contributing to the article Reno, Nevada. 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. Kuru  (talk)  14:20, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, i will add alternative sources to the mentioned document on my next edit and will be sure not to repeat this mistake. AdaObuezie (talk) 15:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * There's clear COI and self promotion from this acount, as well as restoring one of the references you removed in conjunction with the comment above. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 23:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yup - there are a tremendous number of recent new accounts that a part of WMF program targeting researchers/librarians. I'm trying to be a little more relaxed than normal since many of these editors are actually pretty good once they get rolling. Adaora - please do not add material like that to articles. Even if you feel the cause is noble, adding a link like that to an apparently unrelated article comes across as a violation of our WP:COI guidelines; please take a moment to read that page.

Conflict of interest policy
Hello, Obuezie. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Gerald Mbamalu moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Gerald Mbamalu, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your Mail
Hello! Thanks for your mail. I suggest you to read this page. Its may a bit long, but its worth reading. If you need more help - no problem - you will find 4 expandable boxes on your draft page, at the bottom of the grey box, e.g. How to improve your article. There you can simply click on the [show] and find useful links. Have fun! :) TheImaCow (talk) 11:32, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * If you need more help, feel free to ask on my talk page --TheImaCow (talk) 11:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

It is great that you have added cn to every single sentense which did not contain a citation in this very sentense (and, as far as I see, this is your only contribution to this article), however, have you considered a possibility that the material can be referenced in other sentences? Have you made any effort to check the facts and to add the references?--Ymblanter (talk) 13:08, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

About Draft:Gerald Mbamalu
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Gerald Mbamalu a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Gerald Mbamalu. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

 * Thank you so much. I submitted the draft for a wiki project and have long not been attended to. I suppose the article now meets the article requirement after my update. I have recopied, improved and published. I will try to move from the draft following the guideline you just gave. How do i remove it from a draft copy? AdaObuezie (talk) 14:32, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I have been able to make the move but needs help to clean up and have only the new article created with the same name on wikipedia.Please help... AdaObuezie (talk) 14:48, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Stop moving and copying the draft. Leave it alone and let other users clean it up.  Robert McClenon (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
