Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 10:41, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

British Nigerian

Hi Nograviti, I realise you are relatively new to WP but I am finding it very hard to follow your various trains of thought on Talk:British Nigerian. In no small part this is due to the construction and elongated style of your prose which addresses multiple questions, interspersed with long commentaries and is very repetitious. On Wikipedia Talk Pages if you want to be heard it is important to keep your contributions as concise as possible so editors, particularly any editors coming to the page for the first time can follow and take in what you want to put across.

Can I suggest you take a look at the Help Page on this which has advice and tips see Help:Using talk pages#Talk page use. Please note that each new contribution needs to be indented using one more :(colons) than the post you are following/responding too. Try and avoid starting each sentence on a new line and when you sign use 4~s so your signature is time stamped. We all found this difficult to start with but as you have dived into a complex issue with this article its a tough ask.

I quickly concluded the section of the article on Education as written is frankly pretty flawed and the material on the table being referred to is narrow, and largely unconvincing and does not meet verification requirement (WP:V and in any case they are largely fringe issues. See for instance (WP:FRINGE). If the section is to be worked on it needs to be rebuilt using sound material and new sources. Wp articles are not built through harranging or flooding editors with long posting but rather built through consensus so editors are willing to work with you towards a solution. In the meantime, I would suggest you take some time out from the discussion to look at the Wp help pages. if you need advice or help please let me know.Tmol42 (talk) 22:56, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Well done for keeping calm about this issue. Keep contributing to the discussion on the article's talk page, and I'm sure we can reach consensus. In fract, I think we're already pretty much there. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:23, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Larry, I really appreciate your help here. My main goal was to have recent data which shows the academic achievements of British Nigerians and like you said we are making good progress towards that. Also Tmol thanks for your advice.

You might be interested to read the last few posts in this thread. I think I might have found an alternative (perhaps better) source for the GSCE results for Somalis, which might be helpful for the Nigerians article too. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:52, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I will take a look thanks Larry, we are slowly getting there.Nograviti (talk) 08:01, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I think we are. Please do comment there if you feel able. Hopefully we're heading towards consensus. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:05, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Ancient Egyptian race controversy. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 13:13, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
