Giving editor awards

Whether an editor collaborates with a team of editors on a WikiProject or is improving articles independently, an editor can give a Wikipedia award (often a barnstar) to another deserving editor.

Editors may reward vigorous Wikipedia contributors for their hard work and due diligence by awarding them a fitting barnstar, or other award. In addition to these virtual awards, editors may nominate someone to receive a gift in the mail from the Wikimedia Foundation.

A list of barnstar awards is available at Barnstar award templates.

AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues….

[edit]

Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

  • Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
  • Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
  • Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
  • Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All our winners have been recognized and you can check the complete list here.

For a pilot event, all our expectations were surpassed and we have you to thank for that. Thank you so much for being part of this global event!

Speedy deletion nomination of Cinema of the Comeros

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Cinema of the Comeros requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Please stop indiscriminately adding images!

[edit]

I suspect you are participating in that contest in Meta... whatever. You are currently adding images a) apparently randomly chosen by keyword, b) without regard to quality and c) without caption, at d) unsuitable positions in the article. This is not helpful - it makes more work for people having to assess and clean it up than it aids the encyclopedia! I'm rolling back all these changes. If you want to add images, please choose them carefully, add a caption, and place them at the correct location in the article. Many of your pictures are either duplicates, of really bad quality, or almost unrelated to the topic. Stop it. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Captions under pictures

[edit]

Hi, thanks for adding missing pictures to articles. I have noticed though that alot of times you just copy the exact description from the page where the image was uploaded (eg here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Plamen_Nikolov_(footballer,_born_1961)&oldid=966502648). Most of the times it doesnt really fit the image or is unnecessarily long. It would be better to not have a caption at all or a shorter one. If you dont know what to write there, just leave it blank. Thanks! 178.24.243.212 (talk) 12:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bulk uploading of improperly formatted and captioned images

[edit]

Hi. Your edits today are uniformly incorrect in at least two respects: (1) the image itself is being linked using the wrong formatting. for example, your edit on Tragocephala gorilla inserted the following line in the taxobox: "| image = bracket bracket File:Tragocephala nobilis gorilla - Flickr - Bennyboymothman.jpg|thumb| bracket bracket" which creates a box within a box. The correct formatting would have been "| image = Tragocephala nobilis gorilla - Flickr - Bennyboymothman.jpg" with no brackets, and no "File:" prefix. (2) your captions are incorrect, incomplete, and the scientific names are not in italics. In several cases, as in this one, the file name is also not the actual name of the species. This particular image is NOT Tracgocephala gorilla, but Tragocephala castnia cacaoensis, as noted in the accompanying text. Please do not bulk upload files - they need to be checked to ensure that they are what their file names claim they are. Dyanega (talk) 23:49, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks. I'll take note of that Godstime Elijah (talk) 09:50, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also please do not create a caption with the same name as the page, as for example with your addition here. See WP:CAPLENGTH for caption guidelines. Also, for your edit summary "added image" is clear enough but I'm not sure what the hashtags are about e.g. #WPWPNG. Thanks Declangi (talk) 23:07, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are still uploading many images with a caption that is the same as the article name. Check my linked example above and in these cases leave the image_caption field empty. Declangi (talk) 10:42, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will take note of that Godstime Elijah (talk) 13:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Tolulope Arotile

[edit]

On 11 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tolulope Arotile, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Tolulope Oluwatoyin Sarah Arotile, the first female combat helicopter pilot in the Nigerian Army, died in a freak car accident? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Tolulope Arotile), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Uzor Arukwe moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Uzor Arukwe, 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. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 13:22, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please I would like to know how many citations will be enough because from where I'm standing all the citations were gotten from independent sources so I will like for you to give me a better justification than this Godstime Elijah (talk) 12:43, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On Your Draft Article Draft: Uzor Arukwe

[edit]

I was very much happy to cleanup your draft from its original state to this current state and it reminded me the joy I had in creating articles before I discovered the damage the Nigerian UPE ring was causing & became an anti-UPE editor, I haven’t checked to see if the draft article is notable enough or not but I’d begin to review it now & if so, would accept & publish it but if not would have to regretfully decline, all should take me about 45 minutes to start & finish, Now, speaking of undisclosed paid editing, I’d ask you a simple close ended question & id appreciate a precise response, have you received any financial reward to create this draft article or have you been promised financial rewards for creating this article ? Celestina007 (talk) 15:41, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Uzor Arukwe (October 12)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Celestina007 was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Unfortunately this article is about an actor that doesn’t satisfy our notability criteria for actors, see WP:NACTOR neither does it satisfy our general notability criteria which is described in WP:GNG. Sources published in 2020 describing him as “someone to lookout for” invariably means it may be WP:TOOSOON for him to warrant a standalone article at the moment. Directly ask me anymore questions or do so at the WP:TEAHOUSE.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Hello, Godstime Elijah! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Mr macaroni moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Mr macaroni, 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.

Celestina007 (talk) 20:51, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Beware of such articles

[edit]

I have draftified your article & it can be observed here Draft:Mr macaroni. Please beware of creating articles on individuals who at the moment are getting all the media buzz or who are currently in the spotlight. Read WP:TOOSOON, WP:BLP1EVENT, & WP:CRYSTALBALL. His comedy career is negligible & his current interest in activism, roughly (2 weeks) old now is also negligible, you may say “but he trends on Twitter every other day”. & i’d let you know now before you ask that; trending on Twitter invariably indicates popularity but unfortunately “popularity” & “notability” are not synonymous. I anticipated this good faith error was going to be made, hence wasn’t surprised to come across your newly, now draftified article & won’t be surprised to come across other articles similar to this. Celestina007 (talk) 21:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A quick follow up, you may continue to work on the article whilst it’s still in draftspace by including reliable sources to substantiate notability claims made in the article, if you can identify at least three solid sources that discusses him thoroughly, you can always ping me to have a second look or just submit it. Celestina007 (talk) 09:07, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Natacha Akide

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Natacha Akide requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tacha. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Edison Professional (July 13)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Pahunkat was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
"Shopping skimmer" malicious code detected by a browser extension for ref 2
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Speedy deletion nomination of Esuike Theophy

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Esuike Theophy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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 deleting administrator.

Account block

[edit]

Hello,

I just noticed that my account has been blocked from editing on Wikipedia by ST47 citing an IP ban with respect to editing. I have not used VPN in editing so I see no reason for the ban. Please I would like this block to be removed. Thanks Godstime Elijah (talk) 07:40, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I really don't understand all this blocking from {{User:ST47ProxyBot|ST47ProxyBot}}. {unblock|reason=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 102.89.3.182} Godstime Elijah (talk) 08:09, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Godstime Elijah (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 102.89.3.182 I believe this blocking was done in error because I don't use VPN to do edits

Decline reason:

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.

Roost Foundation moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Roost Foundation, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Caramel Plug

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Caramel Plug requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caramel Plug. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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.

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter

[edit]
This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

Highlights of 2023:

Newsletters Galore
We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.
Growing Strong
The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.
Wikimania Talks
Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.
Content Creation Magic
Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
Campaigning hard
We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

Acknowledging Challenges:

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.

Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Warm regards, User:Ainali, User:Daniel Mietchen

PS. We have started writing our yearly report, please add your activities to it.
