Women in education in Nigeria

[edit]
(
)
  • ... that one prominent view of women in education in Nigeria is that it is better for a girl to stay at home and learn to tend to her family instead of attending school?
  • Comment: Article created in main space on 12th April 2012, via Articles for Creation project, reviewer: Tom Morris (talk · contribs)

Created/expanded by Mpyles91 (talk). Nominated by CathMontgomery (talk) at 08:13, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


  •  Done -- Nine formatting improvements made today to the article, following Manual of Style guidance. Is this now ready for DYK on the main page? CathMontgomery (talk) 22:44, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Article contains verbatim and near-verbatim copying from copyrighted sources. For example, compare the last paragraph in "Current policies" to Article 10 in this source, or "While most of the Millennium Development Goals face a deadline of 2015, the gender parity target was set to be achieved a full ten years earlier - an acknowledgement that equal access to education is the foundation for all other development goals.[27]...Until equal numbers of girls and boys are in school, it will be impossible to build the knowledge necessary to eradicate poverty and hunger, combat disease and ensure environmental sustainability" with "While most of the Millennium Development Goals face a deadline of 2015, the gender parity target was set to be achieved a full ten years earlier - an acknowledgement that equal access to education is the foundation for all other development goals...Until equal numbers of girls and boys are in school, it will be impossible to build the knowledge necessary to eradicate poverty and hunger, combat disease and ensure environmental sustainability".

Does anyone have a spare moment to summarise the verbatim text? -- it should follow summary style. Any help appreciated.


Or perhaps an email to obtain copyright-permission from the source? (to avoid WP:COPYVIO). But a quick summary may be easier. See also WP:ENC. Here's hoping. CathMontgomery (talk) 23:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
  • The only edits to this article in the 13 days since Nikkimaria's identification of severe WP:COPYVIO issues, aside from an inappropriate removal of her addition of the "non-free" template to the article, has been the addition of an introductory sentence and over a dozen wikilinks. Regrettably, though an important subject, this article has not addressed its copyright problems, and is clearly ineligible for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:02, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
