Welcome!
Hello, Williamstan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page List of Nigerians have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

 * Hi Williamstan, just a personal note. Unfortunately all your edits to List of Nigerians have been reverted. The problem is, is that you keep adding people who actually only have a remote, or tenuous, connection with the country (either having spent a few years there, having parents from there, or even having just one parent from there). As per our guide at WP:LISTPEOPLE, it is a requirement for inclusion that and that . Unfortunately that is not the case with these individuals who all seem to identify (or are sourced as) Americans. Hope this clears things up! Take care!  &mdash;  O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  17:00, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
