Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Request for restoration Dear Jimfbleak Sir, It may interest you that I am a person of integrity. I know the deletion maybe an error as I adhered to the conditions and violated no rules. The page is also well referenced. I've made up my mind to make immense contributions to Wikipedia because I love it and reads too. I've many articles to publish which will make Wikipedia grow more with good and relevant contents. Please, kindly restore back my page. I'll be very glad if you put my words into consideration. I look forward to having my page back and hearing from you. Thank you! Brainbox (talk) 07:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

B.M. Dzukogi moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, B.M. Dzukogi, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... disco spinster   talk  16:56, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add red-linked entries to List of Nigerian poets. A subject has to have an article in the English Wikipedia, that asserts notability. A draft is not an article. Until it is accepted, please do not add it. -- Alexf(talk) 21:02, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Nupewood


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Nupewood. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Nupe_people. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Nupe_people. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:18, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Zakari Brainbox. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Zakari Brainbox. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Fiddle Timtrent Faddle Talk to me 08:33, 23 May 2021 (UTC)


 * You need to make your reply here, replying directly to this message. A simple, clear declaration will suffice. Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 10:55, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

I haven't being paid a single dime by anyone to create this article on Wikipedia. I've no any employer. I'm just a self-made volunteer. And I do not make edits until I've made sure I've researched for basic facts on the subject/topic, ensure it's well-referenced, worthy of being published due to notability and publish in compliance to Wikipedia Policies. I do not write or edit for self-promotion or as a paid-work. Like I've said earlier, I do this because I want to contribute to Wikipedia, worthy and notable facts in place of fictionated write-ups. And to conclude, this WP:Article is worthy of publication as the person subjected in the article as Mohammed Aminu Baka is notable and the world needs to know his bio. I'm saying this, not that he's related to me but that I find his being on Wikipedia very worthy, a forward big move to it. And it was created in compliance with Wikipedia rules and policies. Needs only a little improvement, which I believe may be done in time. Thanks for your advices. Yours in Wikipedia, Brainbox (talk) 12:37, 23 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for this straightforward declaration Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 21:21, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

@Timtrent I'm glad you've understood. I'll gladly appreciate more of your words of advisory. Sincerely yours in Wikipedia, Brainbox (talk) 06:36, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Competence is required in order to edit here
I noted that you transcluded my entire user page here. I have corrected that. Wikipedia:Competence is required an important thing for you to understand. This is not the first time you have transcluded my user page.The first time can be viewed as an accident. The second time is disruptive editing. When it does not look right after you have posted it then you have done something wrong and must correct it. There is also the ability to preview what you have done. Please use that when in any doubt at all. Fiddle Timtrent Faddle Talk to me 07:21, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

@Timtrent Oh, it was some sorts of typo error. I'm really Sorry for that and thanks for the correction. Yours in Wikipedia, Brainbox (talk) 07:46, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Please stop doing this
You keep posting things like this:

This transcludes the entire userpage, and causes all sorts of problems.

There is a big red warning on the edit page whenever you do this, which you have been ignoring. The warning says


 * "Warning: You have attempted to transclude a userpage or user talk page into this page. If you're attempting to mention a user, please use  or   rather than , which will cause the page to transclude. If you have done this on purpose, just click publish again to proceed."

Links to draft articles
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to List of Nigerian poets and Nigerian literature.

Welcoming New Volunteers '  (25/06/2021)  We hereby want to officially welcome new volunteers who have recently joined the collaborative project and have volunteered to work in WP:NIGERIA. The arrival of new volunteers is often associated with the confusion of “what to do” on their part, it is then behoove of us to treat them with care, guide them, and protect them from the general pitfalls a new editor would most usually fall into. We are also admonished to clean up after them if they err and encourage them, most especially when they are genuine editors with potential to do good work not just for us, but for the community as a whole. 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. 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.
