Thank you so much. I have discovered this Wikipedia hub with great interest and burning desires. I wish you contribute my quota too so that when one day, people ask of me and my life, I would be part of those who made knowledge sharing their priority and actually shared. So help us God!

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 192.168.43.120. I do not have any VPN installed on my computer. If by any means my IP address keeps changing or fluctuating, then I cannot technically say why it is happening that. I am deeply sorry if that inconvenienced the way things are done here.

Decline reason:

The IP that you give is that of your home network and not that which you use to actually connect to the internet. Your IP should appear in the message that comes up when you attempt to edit, or you can use a tool like whatismyip dot com to determine it. 331dot (talk) 07:18, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

It should focus only on the Wikipedia career, without the promotional personal statement-like bits or the contact info. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 22:22, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit the English Wikipedia through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions. Inappropriate usage of this user right may result in revocation. I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 02:05, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

zzuuzz I am overjoyed. This IP exemption will help me do what I love doing more; i.e. enriching articles on wikipedia. Dnshitobu (talk) 06:49, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AfroCine: 2021 Months of African Cinema Contest Winners

Greetings!

After successfully completing the 2021 Months of African Cinema Global Contest on 30 November 2021, we are happy to announce the winners in the contest!

Over 4,000 articles were created across 17 language Wikipedias, surpassing all expectations and placing the contest firmly as one of the most successful article-writing contests on Wikipedia. A big thank you to you and every single person who created articles during the period of the contest for making this happen!

All our winners have now been announced and you can check the complete list here. We'd still be contacting everyone who has won something separately to send over their prizes. Thank you so much for being part of this global event! –Jamie Tubers (talk) 21:31, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

George Bingrini moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, George Bingrini, 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 "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.

Concern regarding Draft:Sagani TV

Hello, Dnshitobu. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Sagani TV, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 17:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of E-Governance and Internet Governance Foundation for Africa (EGIGFA)

Hello Dnshitobu,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged E-Governance and Internet Governance Foundation for Africa (EGIGFA) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Your draft article, Draft:Sagani TV

Hello, Dnshitobu. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sagani TV".

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 deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:51, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
