Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. El_C 06:28, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

You continue to add unsourced material and personal biographical information to articles despite the warning above and are using misleading edit summaries to do so. If this continues, you will be blocked from editing so please ensure you review the links provided.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:28, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey Ponyo, there are some misleading information on some pages that I had to change like DJ Enimoney being from Edo State. This clearly shows that u know absolutely nothing about Nigeria. Renato42 (talk) 21:44, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * You don't need to know anything about Nigeria to edit Wikipedia. What you do need to know is our policies and guidelines regarding reliable sourcing, especially when editing biography articles. I see restored the unsourced date here, again using a misleading edit summary ("fixed typo"). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:46, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:48, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

 * As you continue to add and change content in biography articles without regard to our policies regarding living persons and reliable sources, your account has been blocked again. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Poor sourcing
You've been blocked twice for adding unsourced personal information to WP:BLPs. While I appreciate that you have made the effort to now add sources, it doesn't mean that you can avoid further sanctions by adding any source you find on the internet to articles - the source needs to meet reliable sourcing requirements (←please read the information in this link). Reliable sources have a reputation for editorial oversight and fact checking, "famousbirthdays.com" does not meet the criteria, nor do similar compendia-type websites such as IMDb and the like.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:06, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. — Nnadigoodluck 🇳🇬 12:26, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, I will look at it. Renato42 (talk) 06:33, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for the persistent addition of poorly sourced personal information to biography articles despite previous blocks and warnings. You can be unblocked when you post an appropriate appeal that demonstrates that you understand the difference between websites posting unreliable information and Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:52, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

I understand that I have made a few edits which I attached unreliable sources (I actually thought they were reliable) to, but having read Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source, I have come to understand what a reliable source mean. I promise to take correction moving forward and I hope my block is reversed soon. Thank you. Renato42 (talk) 06:21, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Please use the unblock template provided in the block message to request an unblock and another administrator will review it.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 15:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Please demonstrate your understanding by describing in your own words what a reliable source is, and offering an example of a properly sourced edit. Please take your time in doing so, there is no deadline. 331dot (talk) 10:59, 16 October 2020 (UTC)


 * A reliable source is an article, monograph or any writing that has been vetted by the scholarly community and well-regarded academic presses as trustworthy and not politically inclined or sponsored. An example of a reliable source is Renato42 (talk) 11:58, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * As you only need one open request, I have removed the formatting from your last comment. I am currently not in a position to evaluate it myself; any other admin is welcome to take action on this before me. 331dot (talk) 12:01, 16 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Another source Renato42 (talk) 12:07, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I have removed the unblock formatting from your comment, as you only need one open appeal. Note that the first link you specified does not exist, the closest one I could come up with is this . Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:18, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

What do I do to be unblocked then? Renato42 (talk) 16:08, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned earlier, another administrator will review your appeal and responses. I need to note, however, that both your definition of a reliable source as it related to your edit history (i.e. mainly musicians and rappers) and your example of a what you believe to be a reliable source (investopedia.com) demonstrate that you still do not understand WP:RS and its relationship with WP:BLPs.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:21, 16 October 2020 (UTC)


 * To the reviewing admin: I'm fine with an unblock here as I think Renato42 will be more careful and selective in choosing sources moving forward. I'm willing to give some rope here.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:59, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to engage in subtle vandalism by making unexplained changes to information, you may be blocked from editing. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:36, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Guchi (musician), you may be blocked from editing. FMSky (talk) 13:35, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Please kindly read the information provided in the references on guchi's page. She claimed to be 22 in an April 2019 interview and since her birthday falls in November, she was definitely born in 1996 instead of the 1997 listed on her page. Renato42 (talk) 19:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

She also claimed to have been born in Kaduna but raised in Abuja. See reference link 1 for verification Renato42 (talk) 19:24, 5 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Renato42, I came here to ask where you got that birth date from. As you say, the preponderance of sources have her born in Kaduna, and in one interview she mentions her grandparents living in Imo State; but both the birth date you added and the one it replaced were unreferenced, and I didn't find a reference for her birth date. It's important to cite a reference for all information in a biography of a living person, especially personal info like that; and if there's only one hard-to-find source for a birth date, it should be left out anyway on privacy grounds. I've now removed the birth date and replaced it with the 2 possible years. But if you have a link to a newspaper article where she states it, or about someone tweeting wishes for her 24th birthday on a specific date, then please share.

Yoruba people
Please do not remove the information that I put there on my people. The information that I put is verified information. I have already put sources. Abal126 (talk) 19:13, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * well that's a flat-out lie and I'm going to revert your revert. You haven't added any sources in your edit and the cited source disagrees with your figure. Either add a source along with your changes or stop edit warring. – 2 . O . Boxing  19:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Yoruba language
Again, please do not remove the information that I have put. It is all verified information that I have put down and I have put sources to confirm. Abal126 (talk) 19:33, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * And another flat-out lie. Reverted. Actually add a source (don't just lie about doing so) with your edits, or stop. – 2 . O . Boxing  19:59, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

June 2022
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Dutchavelli, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Answer needed
In these edits: First of all, while it looks like you're right about his full name being Adebowale David Ibrahim Adedayo, it's not okay to add a full name for someone with a citation to a reliable source, and given your previous block and unblock, you should know that by now. More importantly, though, what gave you the idea that his date of birth is 1983? Given your past warnings for falsifying statements, including birthdates, I'm afraid I need to insist on an answer this time. -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she|they|xe) 23:07, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ScottishFinnishRadish. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Omah Lay, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please see WP:DOB ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:14, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Whitemoney. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:16, 26 August 2022 (UTC)


 * , I saw you've been involved with this editor in the past, thought I should make you aware of their continuing to add unsourced information to BLPs. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:20, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , did you actually get a response to your last inquiry here? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:54, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Given the significant concerns that have been raised regarding your edits since the unblock and your continued unsourced addition and changes to BLPs, I have reinstated my original indefinite block.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:10, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Regarding the Omah Lah's issue, that's the age he has claimed since he blew up so I don't see the problem here. The 19 May 1997 birthday has been on his page for long so I didn't understand why it became a problem now since it is his actual birthdate. White money also celebrated his 31st birthday on the 6th of June, you can check his social media handles for verification. And the Scottish Reddish guy joined Wikipedia last year so I wasn't quite sure if he was one of the top editors. I've edited several pages here with right sources for the past year or two also.
