Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.

Oghara

Hello. Your recent edit to Oghara appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 12:37, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mirrors

Thanks for contributing to the article Down syndrome. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

Thank you. Nosakhare Okuons (talk) 13:25, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add there's generally not a need to add another citation to a sentence that already has one (WP:OVERCITE), especially when the source is less than reliable per MrOllie below. Ruбlov (talk • contribs) 21:40, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Medical sourcing on Wikipedia

Please read WP:MEDRS. Many of the citations you are adding to not meet Wikipedia's minimum standards for sourcing medical content. MrOllie (talk) 12:36, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My citations have been based on research from medical journals articles as well as medical published guidelines. However, your observation is duly noted. I will revisit the page to ensure they all meets the required standard. Nosakhare Okuons (talk) 12:52, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Things like 'centrastatematernity.com' and 'healthline.com' are what I'm talking about, and they are definately not medical journals. - MrOllie (talk) 13:13, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Duly noted! Nosakhare Okuons (talk) 13:24, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ANI Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Unconstructive edits on health and Nigeria-related pages. Thank you. Yeeno (talk) 18:53, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2022

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Federal High Court of Nigeria, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. —Wasell^(T) 🌻 08:23, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. But the links I added were from credible newspaper reports in Nigeria pointing to the facts stated in wiki page. wiki policy states that only credible and reliable sources should be used. Vanguard, Guardian, This Day, Business day, and Punch are notable sources with Editorial boards. Nosakhare Okuons (talk) 08:43, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with most of your citing (and they are not all bad) is not that they are reliably sourced, but that they are scarcely relevant to what is being discussed in the article. For instance; here you add a reference to the lead of an article about gynaecology. The lead doesn't need cited when the article below it is, and the source is specifically about Ozone Therapy, a very small area of gynaecology. And here you cite a link that is sessional], meaning only you can use it on the day you created it, and it is useless to everyone else.

Please try to add cites only where needed, and keep them relevant and useable for others. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 11:34, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Markets in Edo State moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of Markets in Edo State, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:08, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Damilola Adeparusi

Hello, Nosakhare Okuons, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username TheLongTone, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Damilola Adeparusi, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Damilola Adeparusi.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|TheLongTone}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
