The Lagos Template
Hi Wikicology! Sure, I will work on the article: Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. In the meantime, Could you please assist me further by creating pages from the uncreated red linked articles on the Lagos template at your own convenience? Thanks Eruditescholar (talk) 02:35, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Feedback request
Hello there. I would like your feedback on something:

Editor Bob makes sourced edits to articles -- good edits, good sources. Five or so others revert, persistently. They are dead wrong and Bob knows it. Bob argues his case at the talk pages. The five are not swayed. Bob tries dispute resolution and other ways to show the community he is right. In the end, the community sides with the five. What should Bob do next? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:13, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Bob should assume good faith and continue his productive editing on other articles. Wikicology (talk) 01:24, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Thanks for the feedback. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:07, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * what type of feedback or question is this? It appears to be a question similar to what we ask at RfA. Cheers,  Jim Car ter  19:59, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Jim Cartar: I am actually grateful that you found this. I meant it for a different user with a similar name. This different editor was exhibiting Bob-like behaviour and I was wondering if he noticed. So, Wikicology, please understand that the question does not refer to you at all. Nice answer, though. :) Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Naming Joseph Ledbetter
Hello! I am the scribe for Joe Ledbetter in Chattanooga and he would like for his name to be listed as Joe P. Ledbetter instead of Joseph Ledbetter. Can you do this? We will think about additional content to add to this page in the future. Thanks WhiskeyScribe (talk) 16:37, 5 November 2014 (UTC) Barb
 * , thank you for your contributions, wikipedia appreciates your help. Since you have a COI, you may need to follow this suggestion thanks. Wikicology (talk) 18:43, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Archiving
Consider setting it up for your talk page. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:23, 7 November 2014 (UTC)


 * , thank you for the above briliant suggestion. I had tried to set it but all to no avail, perhaps am not getting the setting. Will you consider to set it for me? Wikicology (talk) 22:42, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Happy to help. You currently have ArchiveThis set up to archive anything older than 168 days. I do not understand that tool. I archive manually, myself. I suggest changing the 168 to something lower to see if it works, or you can try MiszaBot. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:53, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Disambiguation link notification for November 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joseph Atubokiki Ajienka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Federal University of Technology. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of notable engineers in Nigeria
Hello Wikicology,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of notable engineers in Nigeria for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia page, Category:Nigerian engineers.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. —Swpbtalk 13:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
