Stop making bullshit edits at Kunda language. If there's a problem with the current version of the article, please bring it up on the talk page. — kwami (talk) 08:00, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Kindly engage me and we can learn from one another. And please be civil in your language. Wevwapu (talk) 16:51, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's an appropriate term when you falsify sources and delete sourced information. But if there are errors or imbalance in the article, please at the very least explain your edits in the edit summary. It's also a good idea to open a thread on the talk page. Also, you may want to {{ping}} other editors so that they're notified of the discussion. — kwami (talk) 20:12, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies! Thanks, this is when I'm learning to use Wikipedia. I thought I'd just add my edits and other editors would just react to them. In Zambia we have two different tribes with similar names: Kunda (of Mambwe District) and Chikunda (of Luangwa District). Often these two totally different tribes have been classified as one. I belong to the Kunda tribe and I speak Kunda fluently and I have studied Chikunda also. In my MA thesis I am trying to argue this issue. I am looking forward to a time when these two tribes and languages will be properly distinguished and recognized. 165.56.181.133 (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chief Msoro moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Chief Msoro, 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.

Proposed deletion of William Vwapu

The article William Vwapu has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chief Msoro (February 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Eagleash were:

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 content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Chief Msoro and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Wevwapu. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:32, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.
