Edit summaries and your edits

Hello. I'm looking at the changes you made to Kwahu. Every single one of your edit summaries says only "I changed a content". Please give a more specific explanation of your edits so that other editors can see why you made the changes you did. Right now, I have no idea why you removed one of the schools from the list, and I'm going to restore it because, without an explanation, it looks like the removal was unjustified.

Also, for some reason you have several "<nowiki/>" tags stuck in the text that you added. There's no reason for those to be there. I've removed them. The version that had them was the one here. Largoplazo (talk) 11:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

George Padmore Research Library on African Affairs moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, George Padmore Research Library on African Affairs, does not have enough sources and citations 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 "Draft:" 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. ~ Amkgp ✉ 10:33, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:33, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:George Padmore Research Library on African Affairs

Hello, Beatrice Ampadu. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "George Padmore Research Library on African Affairs".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:05, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hecate and citations

Hi; sorry to revert your addition, but it's so far off from a standard citation format that I don't think it can be used. Where is the author name, the title of publication, the publishing house, page number and publication date? I tried to search for "chthonic" and found only one instance, pertaining to chthonic Zeus. Is there an original paper version? Best wishes, Haploidavey (talk) 15:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The site you've been using is actually a mirror site; a copy of wikipedia articles, meticulously carried out, its origins cunningly concealed and compliant (as far as I can tell) with Wikipedia's license. My own user-name occurs there in several articles as a contributor. So please stop using wikipedia mirror sites to support material in Wikipedia articles. It's doubly pointless, as Wikipedia itself cannot be assumed a reliable source. Thank you, Haploidavey (talk) 16:37, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sámi people and citations

Thank you for looking to add citations to articles like Sámi people, unfortunately the ones you added were to Wikipedia mirrors (or in one case a book that republished Wikipedia articles), or they were to sources that may be relevant, but weren't connected to the section/item/fact to which you attached them. Please take care to make certain the citation is a WP:RS and that it supports the statement it is attached to. Carter (talk) 01:12, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Hecate, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please read my previous message regarding the source you gave for the Hecate article. It's a mirror-site and must not be used. See also the message immediately above this one. Haploidavey (talk) 03:48, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Typewriter, you may be blocked from editing.

I can find no trace of any information about typewriter production in the 1910s in the book High-Tech Trash: Glitch, Noise, and Aesthetic Failure. It almost looks as if you are simply searching for a phrase in the Google Books search engine and then adding the top result as a source, without checking that the information that needs a reference is actually supported. Please make sure to check the sources before you add them – you are adding a lot of sources very quickly, which makes me wonder whether you have really taken the time to check each source carefully. bonadea contributions talk 16:02, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The same thing applies to the source you added to Guangzhou; the information that needed a source was "At present, Guangzhou is the city that uses the most LPG-fueled vehicles in the world, and at the end of 2006, 6,500 buses and 16,000 taxis were using LPG, taking up 85 percent of all buses and taxis.", and I can't find anything about LPG in Transforming Cities with Transit. The chapter about Guangzhou in that publication, on pp 129-138, appears to deal only with the Bus Rapid Transit system. If you have in fact found information about the use of LPG as a fuel in Guangzhou in 2006, please make sure to include a page number where the info can be found. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Prudence Nobantu Mabele. Please stop! You added three sources to Prudence Nobantu Mabele; two of them did not even mention her, while the third one did include some information about her, but not the info that needed a source in Wikipedia. bonadea contributions talk 16:37, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Beatrice, you appear to be completely ignoring the warnings on this page, so I have disabled this account for 24 hours. Please slow down and carefully evaluate the sources you are using. It looks like many have nothing to do with the material you are sourcing, and some are very, very clearly identified and having been copied from Wikipedia. I can see you are in some kind of contest or project, but please do not rush your additions. If you see a warning here, please STOP and read it, then respond if you are unable to understand the concern. Kuru (talk) 22:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kuru: This isn't the first time there have been issues with this specific project.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have just examined ten of your edits adding "references" to articles. In one case the source you cited did give a statement closely related to the statement in the article to which you attached it, though not exactly the same. In none of the other cases did the "reference" you gave support the article content to which you attached it. Whether the reason is that suggested by Bonadea or not I can't tell, but whatever the reason for it you must stop. If you don't, you are likely to be blocked from editing indefinitely. Also, you have never once responded to messages from editors concerned about the problems with your editing. Please start to take notice, and respond to messages. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and editors who do not act collaboratively can often cause more damage to the project than any benefit they may provide. JBW (talk) 20:56, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continuing to add false "references" to articles, exactly as you have been warned about before, and as led to your previous block.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. JBW (talk) 23:31, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
