Maps
Thanks. I started the maps ages ago, but noticed that I was accidentally drawing pre-1997 borders and couldn't find any data on the new borders. So just cleaning up after myself. Some of the state articles are pretty short still, they all could do with at least demographics and whether they've adopted Sharia. Morwen - Talk 09:25, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with my edits to this page. You keep deleting salient information, categories, etc. in your blind rvs. Please read the page before vandalising - there is no POV or anything remotely resembling a paid obituary. According to Wikipedia rules, in any event, you are only supposed to correct specific things with which you may have issue, not do wholesale rvs deleting everything (categories, etc.) 70.19.27.186 15:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

There is something wrong. You're overwriting an encyclopedic article with an obituary. Feel free to integrate the information you want to add into the article, but keep it encyclopedic. As for deleting external links, the external links you're adding are repeats of links that are already there. Please review Wikipedia's guidelines for writing good articles. Rjhatl 16:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I've reverted your changes again- if you want to discuss this it might be better handled on the article's discussion page. I did incorporate your mention of his awards from GT and the hall of fame. I've never said anything about POV issues, the problem is the tone of the article (especially the last line about "survived by"). Rjhatl 16:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Gcsu-logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Gcsu-logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 14:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

African mining
HI. Perhaps you could help fill in the missing articles:. Mining in Nigeria doesn't even exist!

Thanks for your work

Yes thanks for that. I'm not an expert wither but I started Mining in Burundi a while back. It amazes me how many important encyclopedic articles ar emissing around the world and just how too many people think America is the world. Anything which counteracts bias towards America and UK I work on! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦      $1,000,000? 17:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Afro-juju merge
Thanks for your support of the merge; I have now completed merging the articles. I'm also always glad to see people editing Nigeria-related articles--quite a few could use some work. Take a look at some of the articles on politicians, for instance; many are very far out of date, describing people as holding offices that they no longer do. There are also many music articles that could use some work; unfortunately, it's been difficult to find properly reliable sources. There is quite a bit of good information out there on the Web, but most of it is on blogs, podcasts, free websites, and other sources that won't work here. If you have or should encounter a book on the history of Nigerian hip hop, that would be wonderful. Also Newswatch and other Nigerian magazines often have good information that we could use, but I'm living in Mexico now and it would cost a huge amount of money to subscribe to them here.

Thanks again for your contributions, and your support of the Afro-juju merge! Heather (talk) 02:44, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog.

Clean up CAR war
Hi, I'm trying to clean up the structure of the articles on the conflict in the CAR by merging 2012 Central African Republic rebellion into Central African Republic Bush War.

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:36, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing, whether it's a river in Malawi, a Nigerian footballer, or a South African civil rights activist, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. For those of you who signed up to the North African contest, that will hopefully be held in the new year. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Greetings & a great weekend to you all. I believe it would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities. Sent by.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

==Proposed deletion of Jhalobia Recreation Park and Garden==

The article Jhalobia Recreation Park and Garden has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "I tried expanding the article but couldn't find any indepth mention in a secondary source (reliable or not) it is only mentioned as a venue for recreation and events in most articles."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Once more, we hereby thank all new editors who have volunteered to work here and hope they enjoy their stay here. Requests for uncreated articles  (24/1/2020)  Greetings & a great weekend to you all.
