Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! S Philbrick (Talk)  21:10, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Copyright issue
Hey! I wanted to let you know why I reverted some of your edits to the page Godwin Obaseki. I noticed that the information you added to the article was directly copied from a source. Wikipedia has strict guidelines regarding copyrights and any content that is a violation should be removed. When using sources, it is common practice to capture the essence of the information and write it in one's own words. That way, there is no copyright infringement and the content is safe to stay. By "own words", I don't mean tweaking sentences just a little since that would be close paraphrasing and still count as a violation. Even when using your own words, it is important that you cite the source so that the information can be easily verified. I suggest reading through some of the links I mentioned here to get a better idea of our policies and guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them at the Teahouse. Alternately, you can also ask them on my talk page and I'll try my best to help you. Jiten talkcontribs 08:41, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
